I don't know how many you have looked at but I'm thinking that you are close to looking at every ls6 ever rolled off the production line

My dream is to own an Atlanta built 1970 Chevelle, I was born July 1970 in Atlanta right down the road from the plant this car was built at. What a car !

Patrick, you are certainly 'living the dream'! Thanks for all you do to document the cars.

I had no idea Mathew McConaughey was so knowledgeable about Chevelles

I have a 70 built in Atlanta! Mine is Tuxedo black with white stripes. I’ve had it for 20years and I’ll never part with it! I was 13 when I remember falling in love with a red and black striped 70 at a car show and knew one day I’d have one. In 02 my high school sweetheart (now my wife of 16 years) told me about the car I’d eventually own. It’s been a part of the family ever since. It’s far from original now as it had a 73 replacement 454 when I bought it. I made it my own and have so many great stories over the years building it with friends and family. I love these cars whether they’re all original or highly modified.

What an awesome car. This SS was born on my birthday and I owned an SS396 the same color back in 80. Mine had white interior, sure miss that one. Thanks for sharing Patrick.

thank you patrick for your expertise and knowledge. i always appreciate your vids and the camera work. please continue.

It's amazing how all these desirable models are popping up in different ways. The Chevelle was the first car I always wanted back around the time I got my license. It still wouldn't hurt my feelings if someone gifted a Chevelle to me....ANY model will satisfy me 😁

Hell yeah!!! It was sold out of White-Allen Chevrolet in Dayton Ohio!!!! I grew up in Dayton, and wonder if I ever saw that car in person.

Champagne Gold. What a cool color!

It never gets old, every 1970 SS Chevelle I see makes me want one more. Bench seat 4 speed, an O.M.E. Cowl induction hood is a nice bonus. I could never have a 70' without the Cowl System. Another fine car.

Aw she's a beauty!!! Thanks Patrick & Merry Christmas!!!

Mr. Nickles You are living the dream of many 50 plus year old men in the United States, I drool over this model of Chevelle, this has been my dream car for a life time, I remember being 14 years old and looking over the door jam of a 1970 SS Convertible in 1978, the car was eight years old, white with black strips and black top, automatic 454 450 ls6, the dealer was asking 4500.00 for the car, I dreamt of that car for years and have always had a soft spot in my hear for this model.

Thanks Patrick! Have a blessed Christmas 🎄

Patrick, thank you for sharing. 👍

I love it Glenn! Nice car! When or if I ever get a chance to buy or afford a 70 Chevelle I’m definitely going to need your expertise. I love the passion you have for these gems! The color is stunning and the original build sheet. Wow! Keep us informed on the sale! Your a great man! Happy Holidays

every time you make a new vid on a 70 it reminds me of how glad im i kept mine! my latest upgrade was the tremec TKX 5 speed ive owned mine for nearly 20 yrs and i still aint tired of it!

Incredible for a 53 year old car .

Looks just like an LS6 I saw in Alabama about 15 years ago,ironically sitting on a carport 🤔

Did you get a new filming device? Felt like I was in the garage myself. Very very clear.

Nice car, but are those trim tag rivets correct?

If I remember back in the late 80s I had a magazine centerfold pull out ,,this color code ls6 ss 70 chevelle

i know a rancher near hearne tx that has one of those sitting in a four car shed . been there at least 18 years that i know of. but it's an ss 454. but green in color

The rivets on the Trim Tag look like replacement rivets. Am I seeing that right?

What the heck is a headlight beeezel??? Pretty sure it's bezel.

Like the color

Damn that's nice.

By next summer could have really nice chevelle. An in that amount time you could change a lot things to make it correct.

Nice!!!!! 👍👍

that must have been one hell of a strong carport to hold that much weight with out collapsing. LOL

Alright alright alright

The Car Hobby has changed so much in the past 20 years. We had a one Owner, 1970- W-30 that was never apart. A buying offered $100,000 as is and he said "Please do not try to start the Motor". I just saw a Shop Steam Clean a 1968 Z-28 and used Steel-wool and Chrome Cleaner. It's cool. They just clean it and get it running. That's the way the Hobby was back in 1977. Mr. Glenn knows his 1968-1972 A-Body Cars! I think he is the number one person to call if you are going to buy any SuperSport and need to know if it real.

Owner should have measured the drilled holes for the SS 454 emblems. The 3.31 will be a dog off the line with the M21/M22 Muncie ratio compared to the M20.

Wow clean machine 😁. Did I every ask you about a Chevrolet Nova 1975 it has on the front under hood 1 of 1? Got any ideas what this means thank you sherry.
