Love hearing Stevie Mags talk about cool 70s Detroit Steel!!! The man knows his craft

I would also like Patrick Glen Nichols to review this car as well.

He could probably tell them in 10 minutes if it's the real deal or not,the guy's like an encyclopedia for Chevelles,especially 70 models

A long time ago, occasionally referred to as the early 80s, there was an article in Hot Rod showcasing a guy drag racing a convertible LS6. I can only recall parts of the article, but he truly ran it budget minded. Worn out shocks in front (to help with weight transfer) and he found the slight flex of the convertible helped him launch better. Back when these were “just 10 year old cars”. This one is stunning and checks all the boxes. Thanks for sharing ~ Chuck

A guy in my home town had one of these in the late 70’s. He bought from the original owner and did a light restoration and flipped it. Being in Minnesota there was even then some minor rust repair and he did a repaint. Black and white stripes just like this one. It was a beast. Don’t remember seeing too many of these regardless. Mostly the 396 varieties.

Beautiful car Steve and excellent presentation as usual.

I'll wait for pictures of the VIN and cowl tag before commenting.

Great video as always. You are awesome.

Steve its cool you mentioned Iron Butterfly!

My neighbor had a beautiful black coupe SS 454, 4spd posi. I ❤it. His was da LS5, 365hp. It was AWESOME. He'd let me drive it (ofcourse, he went too), & would tell me ,on 3rd U making a turn! Dats how much torque dis beast had. My dad had a '70 Riviera GS Stage 1, & I would be dumb racing my pal on deserted roads. My dad's Riv was heavier , plus fully equipped. 1 thing, he couldn't LOSE ME. Dat Stage 1 could melt da 2tires . Good ole days. Wen driving was FUN!!! & even premium gas was cheap. But, we complained,anyway ❤

Why wasn't the lower-horse (360) LS5 mentioned as well, Steve? As rare as these "hens teeth" LS6's were, the L78 was MORE rare, ie. 4,475/LS6 vs. 2,144/L78.

How much?

Same boxed frame in wagons and El Caminos, right? Also, a 396 4-speed '70 SS Chevelle would've been my first 'good' car if it hadn't been for Reaganomics making my old man have to sell it (I was born in 1985). As it stood, it was a 383 4-speed '68 Dart GTS, so I didn't miss it, because I like a smaller car anyway.

Sorry to hear your family suffered under Regan. He fired the air traffic controllers and destroyed the unions for years to come and don't forget he closed the mental hospitals and put the patients on the streets. Convertibles come with the boxed frame.

Very poor clone. There's more wrong with this car than right. Stevie Wonder must have restored this car, just look at the trunk emblem location. I couldn't even look at the car anymore after he opened the hood as it's just that poorly restored.
