Love hearing that Muncie whine. It takes me back.
The wheels on the 1970 Chevelle SS are my favorite design pattern of any wheels--they really stand out to me, and give the vehicle a real sense of class
Totally agree!!
If I had one it would be sitting on black steelies wrapped in period correct red line tires or old school cheater slicks
Yes we certainly agree!
Am i the only one that cringed when he let the hood pin bounce off the bumper 😬
I didn’t cringe but my eyes were rolling
Me too😟
no but i cringed on how bad he was riding the clutch. i dont know much about old muscle but even muscle can degrade so.
I cringed at the aftermarket stereo
I about threw up!!! 🤢
Yikes ! Coasting and riding the clutch I about screamed into my phone.
Me too. Cut my teeth on manual transmissions. That thing needs heel-toe downshifting instead👍 and some throttle-fanning on every take-off WITH the requisite blip between gear changes. Had a 3-sp. 69 Grand Prix back in the day that would effortlessly chirp 3rd consistently. Wifee at the time asked me why I always never listened to the radio!
Yes I noticed that also !
Youngsters
Bro I’m literally cringing lol yikes
Back in 1980 my garage mate had a survivor 1970 Chevelle 454 LS6 SS M22 four speed with 4.10's he widened the SS rims 2" had some sticky Pro tracks we would be out every weekend kicking ass. To be young again.
Dude!!!! Who taught you to drive a stick??? Quit riding the clutch!! Every car you test drive is going to need a new clutch!!🤣🤣
Wrong intake manifold. The LS 6 came with a low rise aluminum intake as it was slated to go into the Corvette but that did not happen. I know this as I owned one that I purchased in 1972 and have the build sheet from this car today. Mine was also red with a red interior and was built at the Lakewood, Atlanta plant and shipped to a dealer in Jacksonville, Fla. where I lived at the time. I paid $2400 for it.
Very true and the Corvette in 70 was scheduled to have the LS7 which was to be this same engine except with aluminum heads and a little hotter cam (.520/.550) and really too bad it never happened.
In 1983 I tried to buy one black with black interior. It was 4800.00 but it was sold. A few months later it was for sale for 8000.00 and out of my reach. I ended up buying a numbers matching 1971 Z/28 . Oh the memories. 4:41
My dream muscle car!
I own 3 Chevelle,s plus bunch of other cars ss/rs Camaro,s GTO ,s and other crazy cars. But I have to tell this Chevelle is awesome beautiful car
One of the most beautiful muscle car there is💙
It's a shame that there aren't any replacement parts for that beautiful muscle car !
What a beautiful car man!!
This is my favorite car besides the 67 Chevelle
To this day I cannot believe that in high school I bought a 70 ( BLUE WITH WHITE STRIPES ) with a 350 and cross ram duel quads for a $1,000. Then turn around a sold it for the same amount and today I still cannot explain why I did.
Restored correctly went out the window as soon as he said 15” wheels.
Can't imagine why anyone would disengage the clutch rather than use engine braking to slow the car..Where did you learn how to drive a stick shift?
Just about every video where someone drives a stick I end up throwing chit at the screen over the way they drive, it really is unbelievable how clueless nearly everyone is on how a manual transmission should be operated.
AWESOME
Can’t think of Jack Reacher when I see a red 70 Chevelle 454 with a 4 speed and black interior
No seat belt being used, why? Not once was cowl induction shown working.
I noticed that also. Main reason I viewed. Bummer!
Is it the same car as The one in Tom cruise's jack reacher movie?
Great collectible car but with around a 12.5:1 compression ratio I wouldn't want it... I'd want something I could regularly that doesn't need 100 octane fuel.
I gotta have one
if I was a wealthy man Id buy it
I did also
How can people drive so close to the wheel?
I understand his being careful while driving this valuable car, but he might as well have been driving Miss Daisy!
Come on - that's a musclecar! Let's see a bit of the muscle!
@3:58 Does kinda sound like an old smoker trying to breathe lol.
kick it
I want that car
Oh yippy 1-2-3 but no gas
Sounds kinda lazy... Aren't these things supposed to have like +700bhp?
I wish I had my 73 Pontiac Catalina wagon back.
Plenty of power, was huge car but like riding on rails WITH MY MICHELINS .. floats over EVERYTHING.. Could not feel it shifting…. Soooo smooth So quiet. Best stereo ever. A pleasure in every aspect. Mag wheels. Nice! I miss it and would rather have that back than this muscle car.
Just gonna toss these hood pins,Fuck it, it’s not my car. Ruined the whole video for me.
Sorry to offend you.
I’m not perfect. It was a mistake.
Opened 100’s of 1970 Chevelle SS Hoods since and haven’t repeated.
That don't sound right
The coasting was cringeworthy.
What does that mean?
@@pastpresentmotorcars5231 You stepped on the clutch long before you came to a stop( 3:30 ). Coasting not only causes unnecessary wear on the clutch and brakes its also unsafe because you are not in control of the vehicle.
Check out my Chevelle
Your to far from the steering wheel
Gorgeous muscle car, but, C'mon man, @ least a hole Shot, gun it while driving... & STOP RIDING THE CLUTCH. I can see it's NOT Ur car.
One of, if not, the most beautiful cars ever produced.
Restored correctly went out the window as soon as he said 15” wheels.
Nice car ! Learn how to shift and quit riding the clutch !!!!!
I think I would pay Patrick Glenn to verify this car prior to purchase.!
We welcome Patrick! Great guy.
We have a full report on the car if your interested in seeing it give us a call.
Thank you!
We have Jeff who is just as knowledgeable as Patrick!
Me To...👍👍
But has it been authenticated by Patrick Glen Nichols?
I have one I built from the ground up with a 625 horse 427. I always wonder why in all these muscle car videos very few actually kick it down! That's the idea of the muscle car badass smoking tires fishtailing burnouts. There's two kinds of motorhead's. Type of guy that tows his car to the show. Then there's the type of hot rodder that drives his car to the show. Not afraid to kick it down. Not afraid to improve the suspension soup up the motor, lower the body, race the car, take it out of cruises and car shows. Come on let's get with it guys it's a muscle car not a baby carriage!
My dad had one of these in HS that he bought from his uncle who took out the 396 and dropped a 427 in it that he pulled out of a corvette. Sadly he totaled it trying to avoid a motorcyclist 😢
Ye your right!!
I can only imagine the danger here with all that power, narrow tires by today's standards, with no ABS or Traction Control of any kind. Also, if potential buyers are watching, don't want to be rough on the merchandise. Love that car, thanks.
@@BrisLS1 you may not realize Brian but those of us who build and race these high-performance muscle cars make upgrades. when you have this much horsepower they must make upgrades to the. Chassis Tama Suspension, brakes, tires, transmission, roll cage, along with a variety of other options accessories.
Too shiny for Derek with VGG, but he’d definitely call this a “Goin’ to town rig”. Approved!
If you only knew how to drive this car Jack ....
I came to say that.
The rev up at the stop sign with the slow let out on the clutch and then coasting to the stop sign for 500' with the clutch in. If you're going to demo a sweet ride, learn how or let someone who knows how to drive a stick drive it.
Why on god’s green earth would you let the hood pin hit the bumper?🤪 Wow!
I’m a nut so when the hood pin hit the chrome 😧😬 🧐
It bounced several times, felt like sticking a red hot needle in my eye.
Oh me tooo that’s crazy, nice to see folk as ocd as I
What a beauty! My 1st car was a 70 with a 350.But the dream of mine was to have a 454 big block like this one!
most powerful chevelle ever made! 450 horses from the factory with this LS6 lol
😎👍🏻
Probably pretty nice with a 350 too
door is not working needs a diaphragm or a vacuum leak probably !
Hard to find a cooler car than that! Among the few coolest cars ever!
Hq monaro gts 350 1974
@@jaggs4345 nope.
Let that pin BOUNCE on that chrome !
That's one of my top 5 favorite muscle cars!!!! 👊Please check out my 1968 Barracuda fastback powered by a rowdy 512 stroker backed by an A833 4 speed manual. I think you'll approve. 👌
Thank you! Sounds good!
So gorgeous....
u do understand that GM make 2 different 454 one is the ho 454 450 hp at 485 torque and the LS 6 454 small block both came out in 1970 only the ls was aluminum block 6 bolt main at 485 hp with 525 torque they built 212 with the ls 6 and only 6 with the ls 7 427 . if u don't believe me then read up on the mark 4 series it tells about them changing the angle of the pistons that means a new block. then u have to ask would GM call 2 different engines the same thing i think not this is y a ls 6 454 no matter what year it is it will be a 454 small block . i use to drag race a ls 6 454 in 1975 and it was a small block but back then u could only get it as a crate engine same with all the ls engines and they were not cheap at all very very expensive to buy one all most as much as a 3 bedroom house. u could order it as a iron block or aluminum block. just like a lsx is a 454 with a 427 crank both are small blocks. if u had a real 1970 ss LS 6 454 it would say cowl induction LS on the hood but if u look on the net un can fine a lot of them with the bbc in it because they built over 5000 cars with the bbc 454 in it so what would make that the holly grail car but if they only built 212 that would make it the holly grail car and the 6 with the LS 427 it is sitting in a virement control shop same with the ls 6 454 cars they are suppose to be under 150 ls 6 cars left in the world but still have all 6 of the 427 left most have under 300 miles on them never been restored still look new in the shop. i have a 67 ss rs 427 yenko camaro and they built 256 of them but yet they claim the 70 ss ls 6 was more rare then my car. u can not go by the code because it was the same car GM. racing division took the bbc 454 out of the to put in the 454 small block they only changed the hood emblems and engine it still had the crate engine code but both in 1970 were crate engines. then in 71 u could get the bbc 454 with 450 hp in cars but not the ls engine like camaro , nova, chevelle , vett
Thanks for sharing!
I just love those original wheels! Thanks for sharing.
My absolute favorite dream car in the exact setup I’d go for. Cranberry red, black stripes, 454. Just the perfect definition of what a muscle car truly is.
man can´t stick shift
Beautiful. I'm drooling but crying also because my wallet can't afford it.
I know why they callem dream cars. It's because dreams aren't reality, and the reality is that I've dreamed of owning one of these for years all the while knowing....deep down inside my soul....that I never will.
I will never afford it either
@@jeffreyb6165 get one from a private seller online, much cheaper than getting a full restomod from a dealership
That thing is a beauty!! I had a 70 SS396 with buckets/tilt wheel and it was a cream puff. I wish I had it now! Someone go buy this car, you'll never be disappointed!
Looking like an approaching T-storm. Better get that car indoors.
My favourite year Chevelle SS. All SS Chevelle’s should have come std with the U14 gauges and ZL2 flapper hood. I’d opt for the L78 396/375hp with the M22. It would look good sitting beside my 70 Cranberry red code 75 wih custom black cloth interior, Z/28 LT1 350/360 hp with M22 and 3:73 posi. BTW the shift knob should be chrome.😂
Just like off showroom floor except it don't depreciation buy half it value like new cars
Best muscle car made👍👍
NICE. I had My 1970 Chevelle. in 1979-1982.Complete Resto. 396 SS Clone. Red with White Stripes.
'In the day', I owned several Ram Air III and IV's, a number of SD455's, a couple of 426 Hemi's, and one L88 Corvette...and what is really heart-breaking is that for the price of a car loan, you can go out and buy an 800-hp monster (Dart Demon, Challenger-Scat Pack, etc.) with NO IDEA how to treat them or drive them properly. Sure deflates the value of 'collector' cars, when you can simply find a totalled Demon or Challenger Scat Pack car, and swap the power train over to the 'old body'....cheaper than you can buy the old 'collector car' (that will get outran by the first kid with a Chevy Camaro SS LS/LT1....)
Funny how this car can't compete with a 2008 base model Corvette with 436 hp 376CID at 3175 lb Convertible. The Chevelle is just too heavy. With long tube header and 3 inch pipe and race cats. 11.8 @ 121.32 MPH.
Why is the center of the grill horizontal separation bar gray. For all the work done. Changes look of car to not finished. It should be red and impossible to overlook. Gray grill originally? Primer? Regardless it kills front.
Ran across one just like it. 30years ago for $8000. Iam sick everytime I see one 30k plus NOW😢
You did it wrong. When you test drive an LS6 454 there is supposed to be tires screeching, the engine revving, gear banging, sideways sliding, and power shifting.
Otherwise one might assume the car is defective. You might as well have your mother drive. Please try again.
Beautiful car! A dream of mine. I however dont care too much for the after market stereo head unit. It didn't roll off of the assembly line with that...
my dream car was 70 ss in the 80s I end up with a Malibu 70 307 but is cool sold it in 1994 I wish if I keep it
Very nice, love the color and black interior. What plant was it built at and did it have the vinyl top originally.
And…. The lowly little 5.0 coyote will show its tail lights to this bad boy all day long… big sigh😔😔😔
I divorced my first wife when she disliked a picture of one of these...
Can we grease that clutch? The squeaking would be a no go for me no matter the car
Who taught you to drive!!!???? Don't ride the clutch like that!!!
Well which is it a 512ci or a stock 454??
ua-cam.com/video/OZIeOO_CJwU/v-deo.html
It's a 454, the 512 is the block casting number and is the correct block for 70. Different years had different casting numbers and 512 seems to be the one most everyone wants.
What a beautiful car man! Love it
Always been my dream car. Absolutely beautiful man! Can't say enough.
Nice video ! I once had a 72 SS454... really nice cars...
My favorite muscle car
So he said it was a 454 with 450 hp immediately followed by it being a 512. Does that mean it's a 454 bored out to 512 cubic inch?
Or is the 512 just the name of the engine used for the 427 and 454?
The casting number is a 512 block. Thanks for your question!
What’s funny there is more ls6 cars now than ever made
My favorite muscle car!!! Absolutely Gorgeous inside and out. ♥️♥️
He forgot to let us listen to the exhaust. That’s the best part.
That Chevy is I think 50 years old
When cars were bad ass
ua-cam.com/video/OZIeOO_CJwU/v-deo.html Check out this Chevelle!
A Clover with the stripes of Sabre Turbo.
I love the whinning sound of the m22
Gonna have to get after it harder than that to open hood flapper
BOUGHT AN LS6 IN 1976 FOR 2000. THAT WAS A LOT THEN. FOREST GREEN WHITE STRIPES AND INTERIOR. 4SPD. CAR HAD AROUND 60,000 MILES AND RUST AROUND REAR WHEEL WELLS FROM THE DETROIT WINTERS. DROVE IT YEAR AROUND FOR YEARS. SOLD IT IN 1995 FOR $15000. MISS IT.
Yes, they didn’t through on the incorrect Cowl Grilles. Nothing worse, (to anyone that’s owned one) than seeing items added that GM never installed.
Nice car. Well said! 👍🏻
Thank you!
He closes the door properly, not roughly ! I like it.
Lord have mercy! ❤ My dream car and always will be! ❤ That and a 69/70 Charger. But this... Aw man lol nothing beats a SS! Such a beauty! Used to drive our 18 wheeler with the now ex but I'd be a little nervous now to drive a stick... I'd do it with this baby tho! 🥰
I worked for a guy in the mid 80’s who had 2 ls6 chevelles, a hard top and convertible, and 2 396 chevelles, again a hard top and convertible. All 1970, all red and black, both ls6 were 4 speed, both 396 were auto (so his wife could drive them). I lost touch with him and often wonder if he still has them.
Great car! A friend of mine had a Cortez Silver over black car with a bench seat back in the day. Fastest car in town. Left a huge impression on me. Let me know when you find a matching numbers Cortez Silver 4spd LS6 with a black interior and bench seat! Nice video.
It will be cheaper to find it yourself! A middle man is a legal rapist. lol
M-22 sounds awesome!! but whats the rear end ratio??? 3.08 or 355???
It was likely a 4:10 posi. Thanks!
Not a 410. Too long between shifts
Your only options when the car was new was the 3.31 or 4.10 but after 50+ years it could have anything.
I had an original 70 ss454,4 speed,and was red with white stripes and white interior,got it in Seattle in 1988 with 40k miles,drove to northcarolina for USCG a-school and back to alaska,traded for a 70cuda 340 and cash and drove that to NC when I got stationed there.,mostly had GTOs and novas before 1980s,they were cheap back in the day.
Had a buddy that had an 70 L78. Car always ran pretty strong. One night (this was back in ‘85) we were out riding around. Got to a stop light and one of those Shelby Charger 2.2 challenged him. I was like we’re going to destroy this guy. Light changed and that Charger was gone man. I mean gone. As we’re my buddy’s hopes and dreams. I was never more embarrassed for someone in my life.
Your buddy’s car had a loose plug wire, then.
Yeah something wrong there, just looked up a Shelby Charger Turbo road test and it ran a 15.9 @ 85 mph, seriously pretty pathetic for all the hype.
Those are NOT very rare cars. 4575 were produced and likely near as many clones. One of a kind? ROFLMAO.
