The 1970 Chevelle SS is the stand alone king of muscle cars of that era. Every other car is a distant second. The red with black stripes was the best looking of all the Chevelle SS. To turn the clock back in order one would be a dream come true.
This is one of 2 dream cars my sister wanted.
My number one favorite muscle car👍
You put out an amazing informative video. Great job! 💪
Best looking Chevrolet ever made!!
Steve is the best! I love his videos.
This car wasn't Cranberry Red originally, it was blue. With the VIN (from the HOC website), we win: 1 for Chevrolet, 36 for Malibu V8, 37 for Sport Coupe, 0 for 1970 model year, 1 for Oshawa, Ontario Canada assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Oshawa plant operated until 2019, closed for a short time and then reopened in 2021, and still operates today.
We got the tag, we can brag: ST70 for 1970 model year, 13637 for Chevrolet (1) Malibu V8 (36) Sport Coupe (37), OS for Oshawa, Ontario Canada assembly, 756 for Black coated fabric bucket seat interior trim, 28 28 for Fathom Blue poly lower and upper exterior paint, 1D for the fourth week of January 1970 production, C60 for air conditioning, Z25 for SS396 option, A51 for Strato bucket seats, M20 for four speed manual transmission, and D55 for center console.
So, based on the trim tag, it's a real SS396 and had AC originally, but it was Fathom Blue, not code 75 Cranberry Red originally.
You been watching too much of Glen Patrick muscle car barn finds 😂
@@steviedee71 I watch them and they are indeed good, but I've known how to decode a GM trim tag and VIN for decades. I was in the parts industry. I just did it today for two guys I know that run a local shop and had an '81 Malibu in there for resto-mod. It turns out to be a 1981 Malibu Classic two door sport coupe, originally with a 267 V8, buckets and console (A51 on the tag), and it's Bright Silver Metallic (code 16) assembled at the Baltimore, MD plant the first week of March 1981. That plant closed in 2005 and last assembled the Astro and Safari minivans.
@@steviedee71 he isnt wrong though;
@@steviedee71 While I respect Mr. Nichols and his knowledge, I don't need it to decode a GM trim tag. I've been doing it for over 35+ years.
Great video!!! My favorite car of all time, a true classic muscle car!
Thanks Steve.. Lot's of great info as usual.. ( one lil cavoite ).. 030. over is * 402 * on a 396.. not 060.. Thanks..
Beautiful Car!!
396 sounds way cooler than 402.🏁🏁
Yep.
basically the same engine 😂
Your by far the best to learn from when it comes to your walk arounds.
Nice
Steve is awesome
'69s still my favorites. 👌
The ZL-2 Cowl hood had 2 doors that allowed fresh air to the carb. The door on top was controlled by manifold vacuum. The second door was at the very back of the bulge, activated by a electrical solenoid. It would open at wide open throttle. I was lucky enough to drive an SS, very similar to the one featured, off the lot in February, 1970,
Good info 👍
There were L78's in early 70, but are rare as hens teeth. Canceled when the Ls6 was announced.
Nice!!!
knew it was a 4 speed when I saw the traction bars
Steve love ur vids . I would personally like to see a 67 GTO . If haven't done so. 👍 👌
Coming soon!
I've never driven a big block car, but I've always wanted to. The only V8s I've driven were small block automatics. And the only manuals I've ever driven were little front wheel drive 4 cylinders. I didn't start driving until the late 90's, so there wasn't much around in terms of power and performance. I've always said I was born in the wrong era. Cars from the 60's to 80's are the best in my opinion. Some modern drivetrains are pretty good. But they tend to overcomplicate them with unnecessary technology. Simple is better. I'd rather have a base model economy car from the 60's than pretty much any performance car made today
Come down try one out life changing ;)
Hood pins only came with functional cowl induction hood so pins on this car are incorrect.
Not true at all. Was an option even on Malibu
@@highoctaneclassics3969 What is the option code ?
@@highoctaneclassics3969 No,can't find it ???
@@highoctaneclassics3969 Not in 1970. However that would be true in 71 or 72. In 70 they were only offered as part of the flapper hood package.
@@highoctaneclassics3969 not in 70/
You definitely get a 350 in a factory ss in 70
It's like a Pontiac 350. It's actually a Pontiac 354 ci.
What about the F42 Suspension you didn't mention that in the video or the LS6 454 and the LS5 454
F41
30 thousand overbore!
?
Resale red!
