I sat in this car when it had 26 miles on it and it was in a collection in Rhode Island - crazy example of an amazing car. I'll never forget it. Love these videos - Thanks "Brothers" (and Kevin!)
Had two 1970 chevelle ss. But were 396. Still they are the greatest muscle cars ever built. No matter what motor
While it's not my favorite muscle car anymore, I still love the 1970 Chevelle. That is a gorgeous looking ride. I like the red with black stripes color combo best I think. Black with red stripes is cool too, but man what a beauty. Thanks for sharing.
the mess ups I think give it character.
That rounded back that GM developed to replace the "square box" in 1968, gave those cars a really sexy look in my humble opinion--for the Chevelle, Cutlass, Skylark, and Lemans
I don’t believe this story unless Patrick Glen Nichols authenticates this car.
I AGREE 110% !!!!!
It be a lot cooler if he did, alright alright alright
Is that the guy that sounds like Mathew McConaughey?
I can tell you this car is real. I know for a fact it is because this car belonged to my Dad. He ordered it that way because he was a drag racer. This car sat in the garage next to a 68 Biscayne with a 427 and M22 4 speed. My dad sold both cars at the same time to a collector in Atlanta. The Biscayne only had 324 miles on it.
I had that car with an LS5 and AC with a four speed. Loved it till I sold it for 2500.00 cause they were saying gas was going to go to .50 cents a gallon 8
50 cents a gallon????? OMG!!!! That's crazy!!! But hey I know how you feel. In 1984 after I graduated I could've bought an original 69 GTO judge for $750!!! They sold (well traded it in on a little pickup) it for$500!!!!
Damn! I would love if gas nowadays was .50 cents a gallon!
50 cents a gallon? Sorry to make you puke again ,but I still remember one day in 1970 ( I was 9) my dad pulled into a POWER TEST gas station to fill up with 27 cent/ gal. Regular. In rolled a brand new cranberry red ss 396, and I stared in awe as he filled up with 35 cent/ gal. ETHYL. damn, now I gotta puke 🖖
Just WOW what a sound. What a car. Gorgeous.
Interesting points made about the factory slip ups with the paint, but wow what a beautiful original Chevelle. 👍
this is definitely my favourite so far! absolutely amazing!
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does any of you know a trick to log back into an instagram account??
I was dumb forgot the password. I would love any tips you can give me!
@Bodie Sylas instablaster =)
I have one same color 1970 Chevelle was one of the best looking cars ever in my Opinion.
Thanks for posting this is an awesome reference car!
Al Delsandro ....me too, I had a Cranberry Red 70 SS Chevelle with Black Stripes/ White Interior with a 375 hp 396/402 and 4-Speed. The car was FAST !
Finally after a year, I now know what car that is that you have in the intro of your videos lol beautiful car. The best news is that it doesn't need much restorations!!! 😀👍
absolutely gorgeous👍👍
I want this car so bad!!!! the best of the best!!!
Simply an amazing car! Flat out!
Beautiful Chevelle!
OMG Almost like the one i bought new, mine had 4 speed, black vinyl top, also i did not order the cowl induction and i see this one also does not have it,... great memories for me Thank you
This car is awesome!
A absolutely beautiful car
The SS emblem is indeed upside-down, a feature we noted during shooting this car. However, it would not be the first one that left the factory with such an error. Numerous line employees who built cars during this era have noted improperly installed or missing items, mismatched trim, or other assembly line errors. Interesting stuff!
never buy a car built on Monday when many employees were hung over from spending their outrageous wages on alcohol, but yeah, let's go on strike for more $$$$
@@mwr518
So true -these overpaid UAW employees were/are some of America's worst when it comes to work ethic.
My Dad ordered a loaded GMC Suburban around 2002 and when it came in it had a chevy front end and a GMC rear end. Kinda killed the salesman's BS pitch that that Burbs had a better suspension ;
Do you only have Chevrolet muscle cars in your inventory? I’m searching for a matching numbers 1970 Dodge Challenger RT/SE Factory A/C 383 automatic transmission. I had one back in 1973 and boy do I regret selling it! Let me know. Thanks
this is not a L.S. 6 454 in this car they did build them but not in this car u have a bb chevy in it that is a fact . or do u want to put the car up on a bet because i like the bb chevy more they just look better under the hood then an l.s. engine
The guy who does our NYS inspections on our cars has one. Forest green with white stripes. It's got 9,945 miles on it. She's mint, but a trailer queen.
I would think I've died and woken up in Heaven if I happened to come to own this beauty💪👍👌
Your build sheet pic showed the M22 trans option, but your video shows an automatic dash and trans cooler lines going to the radiator. What kind of bull are you trying to pull here?
The stripes were NEVER right on these cars. I was lucky enough to own TWO of them in my life. During the 1st repaint of my second one it was found that the stripes were off center by 3/4 of an inch. That being said I adore these cars. Both of Mine were 396/402/350hp but I loved them. I had the pics of them turned into posters that adorn my office wall. I bought them BOTH for ...wait for it...a grand each in 78. you couldn't give them away then. Now you cant touch them with a second mortgage.
My favorite car
I remember my High school days back in the 80s my friend had a 1970 Chevelle SS with the 454 that he bought off the original owner that used it as a daily driver. My friend paid $1500 & that was a lot back then for a 17 yo...I remember the car had nearly 200.000 miles on it, the engine smoked a bit but my friend tore up the students parking lot with burn outs...I can still hear that engine everyday he left the school grounds. In our Senior Year my friend sold the Chevelle cause his grandparents Bought him a Brand New New Body style 1987 Ford F150 Bare Bones Custom trim. I would often comment that my friend went from having the Fastest Car in school to the Newest. Fast forward 30 plus years, my friend still has that F150 but he sure wishes he still had that Chevelle SS !!!
It’s very interesting the wide variety of ways that these cars could be ordered. Unlike today where it’s just a trim level or a package you got very specific in terms of options that you wanted. This one isn’t cowl induction and is auto on the column even though it has an LS6 motor.
Interesting how you could place a very specific order for a car without computers, cell phones or fax machines and get exactly what you want 😂
My 70 SS396 was the exact same thing.
Rare SS column shifter!
My unrestored LS-6 has the same defects in the stripes. Especially the trunk, always wondered about that
#Nothinglikeachevy!!....#Dreamcar!....💪🏾💪🏾
'tis better to have a tribute that you can DRIVE!!! Nice car.
Dream car
super car and much better than the new models and your adore the legendary and classic cars and put a like
Imagine what that’s worth now (2022) that’s one for Patrick Glenn Nichols to look at, wow !!
So damn🔥🔥🔥
I wish I had one ❤
I can see a 1969 Camaro Yenko in olympic gold behind the Chevelle ! I hope you'll make a video of it too !
I would've put more miles on it in the first day of ownership! It probably would've had no rubber left on the rear tires as well.
I love the comments on how it's not real because the SS grill emblem is on upside down, and the stripes are too badly done. I bought a Chevrolet pickup back in the day with a Chevrolet emblem on the drivers door and a GMC emblem on the passenger door. These vehicles were/are built by humans who make human mistakes. In 1970 we were also heading into a time when quality on American cars was in the toilet, that's one huge reason the Japanese car industry took off so fast here. You have no idea how poor the quality on some cars was. Today's cars bear little resemblance to the cars back then in quality, fit & finish. Almost every dealer in the US had a story of chasing down a rattle in a car only to finally find a soda bottle (an old glass one, not plastic like today) hidden inside a body panel. Frequently this was done by disgruntled line workers who were pissed off or felt it would show why they needed more money.
Which is ironic considering how much GM workers made. Back in the early eighties the story was that GM line workers made around $23/hour. This was when most other factories paid $7-8/hour, a good one paid $10-11/hour, almost half of what GM paid. Back then GM was like the holy grail of factory jobs and really hard to get in to. I don't know if GM was paying substantially higher wages back in 1970 or not, but I suspect it was still more than the average factory. I don't know any of this for a fact, it's just what I've heard.
Its 2018, and I make $20 per hour, and can't hardly buy shit! I drive 1990's vehicles, and have a rat rod 69 Chevelle...I feel poor!

Remember also that in late 1969 , the was a big UAW Strike .
This resulted in some pretty bizarre things being put into GM Cars for the last of the `69 Models and first of the `70 Model Cars .
Very typical of UAW members -some of America's worst.

So improve your skill set and look for a better job.
SS emblem in the grille is upside down
I've seen many cars with low low mileage but I've never seen an inspector miss a reveal trim molding that bad! That would not have passed, someone took that section of molding off over the last 51 years
Unreal.
Incredibly cool car. I would love to see how it runs the quarter mile, just a few runs - I am sure nowhere near the times the Factory Stock cars run today.
Damn column shifter 😤😤😤😤
Technically this car is brand new
I ordered a 1970 LS6 chevelle in nov. of 1969.The car came in to my dealer on march the 4th 1970 due to GM had been on union strike..The deck lid did not line up well and the console was not bolted down.It came as I ordered with 410 rear gear ratio, heavy duty battery,4 speed rock crusher trans.The trans wined mostly in 3rd gear due to gear design.I immediately removed the smog system because everytime i shut engine off it keep turning over for a few seconds.headers went on just 2 weeks later.Problem resolved.I was only 23 years old then.Three months later I ran it with the 14" stock radial tires,open headers .I had to literally come out of hole at just above idle to control wheel spin.A show room car stock turning consistant runs in the high 12s on street tires was a dangerous car on the street in the wrong hands with 500 pounds of brute torq.With 410 rear gear at 50 mph in 4th gear putting to floor it would lightly squeal the tires..The moral of this story, I traded in 1972 for a new corvette.I still have tears on my pillows not realizing at that time the value and knowing it would go down in history as the most powerfull production car of that era of muscle cars.You cant fix stupid.
sure stupid can be fixed, it just cost 100 grand to go back in time
Great story. I always love stories from people who’ve purchased these cars new. Thanks for the story!!
Why is the grill SS emblem upside down???
Back in the late 70s I know a guy that had one exactly like this, only his was auto and factory a/c.
70 is my favorite non Mopar vehicle, along with 67-69 Camaro
Why did the build sheet say M22 trans when it’s a column th400?
Almost, I want to look at this car with a leery eye and ask, "Really?", but stranger things have been found. So, I dunno. Nice car, definitely my favorite old Chevy.
Hard to believe the original buyer didn't make dealer fix those misaligned truck pinstripes.
Here's a another muscle car history throwback for u younger guys.....just a few years later, starting n '73, MANY big block owners were swapping out engines for a 350....why, cause Arab oil embargo lead to exorbitant gas prices, rationing, and long wait times at stations.
I've asked before and can't seem to get an answer. Who are these elusive Brothers, and how did they acquire all these classic cars? It's like the old question, " How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pop? The world may never know!!"
You want to know if they're single?? 🤣
what a shame thought, that 454 never saw the road and LIVE!!! something wrong with that, bigtime...
@volcano hi ...boomers. lol
Rich people do that 💩. I'm sure some rich dude got a new dodge demon just sitting around going nowhere.
@@BruceLee-xn3nn his loss then, meanwhile he dies leaves all that shit behind and somebody will be tearing up the road with it eventually...
of course if you just buy these cars to keep for a while then sell for a profit have at it, still a shame not to take them out and put them thru-their-paces
If a time traveler had gone back, hung around Chevy dealerships telling ppl who bought desirable cars “PSSSST!! Hey…This is going to sound nuts, but I’m a car guy from the future. Drive that car home, park it indoors out of the elements, and never drive it. It will only get more valuable by the day.
Thanks, interesting.. does seem like it should be driven.......( with proper maintenance/safety)......
Sweet. These low mileage cars should have a museum. Charge 10$ to go in and see what they looked like from the factory and plus help to keep them.
Where's the RPO C08 Vinyl Top and the M22 4 speed indicated on the Build Sheet?
Nice car, How about a Mopar Ball Stud Hemi car next? OK , A Max Wedge car would be fine.
I have one!
❤❤❤❤❤ 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Gods car
I still have my 2019 Chevy Silverado. Low miles, runs great. LOL
lozerboozer I still have my 2015 Chevy Silverado! I bought it brand new! I LOVE IT 🥰
If I had a car that nice, I could never enjoy it unless I knew that the world was going to end soon.
I have put 110,000 happy memory filled miles and smiles on my 65 SS. If the sun or an asteroid, or nukes take us out, that car will be a pristine chunk of molten metal. That's a remote possibility, but right now " SLEEPY JOE" wants to make gas unaffordable, unobtainable, tax our mileage and have everyone driving RC cars in 5 years. So glad I was born in 60's.⛽⛽✌
That's amazing. This would sell at Barrett or mecum for $2.5 million. Not as rare as the $3 million dollar hemi Cuda convertible, only one of those. 4400 of these... But the miles... Wow
a guy in town has a 77 trans am se ,he bought it straight from the dealer in 77,he trailered it from dealership to a climate controlled storage place...get this...8 miles odometer!!!
he keeps it up on jackstands
I wonder if it’s for sale? It’s gorgeous.
No cowl induction and hood pins nice straight ss
What do I need a time-machine for? My favorite Muscle Car is already in this time. It’s hard to beat 450 horse-power and triple digit torque from the factory! :€)
I Forgot 1 thing.... Does that build sheet not say...Black on Black ??
Is there a way I can see this car?
My uncle’s,sister’s,cousin’s next door neighbors mom lost her virginity on one of those hoods...good times. #canberryred #flapperhood #atleastitwaswhenigotdonewithher
alex collins sounds complicated.?was she knocked up !
i was there
Was this a Friday or Monday built car? That might explain some of the mistakes.
That explains nothing.
@@SlowRide723
What is your proof?
@@SlowRide723 ever heard of a JOKE????????
If I had the money I would get one of those and it’s El Camino brother.
You have a good eye, we mistakenly inserted a shot from a different LS6 Chevelle in the collection. This is a highly documented car, we just dropped in the wrong shot.
Interesting that build sheet lists an M22-4 speed but yet gauges show an automatic transmission. Also, where is the cowl induction flap, cowl induction air cleaner, and hood pins? ZL2 was the cowl induction hood with flap.
The build sheet shown isn't the one for the car, that was shown in a follow up video. It was a slip of an image a long time ago.
do yall have a "1971 ss 454 el camino
It doesn't have the flapper but isn't that still a functional cowl induction hood? It has the correct underside but not the air cleaner assembly to seal to it.
Question, did they use side post battery's in 1970? every 1970 I've seen used top post cables, that were unique
ru4crzn1 some came with side post , some did not
It is an interesting curiosity to be sure it's like an old pair of sneakers or a pair of trousers or flight jacket that you get that you were it was meant to be worn in for whatever reason it wasn't I had my old man watch this video and he was born 1950 and his best guesstimation on this particular Chevelle is the original owner had intended to convert it into a racing car like you said in the video sir but most likely he blew all of his Budget on acquiring the initial package the LS6 454 probably set the original owner back and then meant to come back to it one day and got distracted by life and other commitments and so she sat at least that's his best guess but I guess we'll never really know it's still sort of a disappointment that it never got driven like you said that's the great tragedy of that particular member of the genus but the fact that it survived and is preserved means now it can be used as reference if only it were stick shifter that would be the best thing but I've often thought it is strange that the great automakers never preserve a factory example of any of their vehicles from this era still impressive though Chevrolet for life
All that, in one sentence?
Build sheet also shows M22 transmission. I think there are more than two questions.
Exactly! I have my doubts here... no cowl induction, bench seat, M22 but they show a column shift...
red with black stripes was the most popular color combo followed by black with red stripes. I love this car. I don't know which one I love more though, this one or the 65 z16 convertible in the collection. this is car porn!
They don't have the only z16 convertible ever made. They aren't even sure if it's even still around. The z16 club can't find it. It sure as hell ain't in the brothers collection
They did not red stripe a 70 chevelle at factory , only black or white !
Speedometers are so highly complex and sophisticated that there is absolutely no way anybody could have ever set it back to 34.2. The science and techniques for doing that just haven’t been discovered yet.
All old cars had cables on speed odometer, just unscrew it and mile would not turn.
But they were very easy to turn back miles on any car.
Even today you can turn back miles and hours on new cars…
A modern v6 4 door will smoke this😂😂
Why is the front SS grill emblem upside down?
Hangover
Hello what is that Chevelle ss is if yes sold have it you of other one in 454 LS6 of 70 has how much and deliver you in France?
No interior shots?
Too bad no cowl induction hood. Beautiful
Is the build sheet in the video the real build sheet? Cause if so, there are multiple things that are different the what the car is. Build sheet says; vinyl top, also says Ivory interior and 4 speed trans…
It's not, the actual sheet is in the follow up video.
On the hood they used a template and then finished it off by hand. The transition between the template and the hand painted part does not look right. I believe it was repainted
Im not getting this or may I say VERY leery to the authenticity to its claim!! LOOK at the build sheet! M22 4 Speed & Vinyl Top .... Where's the 4 SPD & Vinyl top??
Lew Scagnetti Lew, we've admitted to showing the incorrect build sheet in error - watch Episode 65 for a complete explanation and the correct build sheet. ruclips.net/video/ZsQzIyDg4vk/видео.html
Damn.
p.s. flip the SS grille emblem, its upside down. And don't forget to put the "Chevelle" emblem back on the grille,.
Copy from it for reference and build one like it with the wrong build sheet (VINYL TOP on bs) and grill SS emblem upside down) ???
It would make a good fixer upper....
That is a million Dollar car
It's really time consuming to lay out the stripes on the Z28 and the Chevells. Even more annoying when you have to cut a hole for a blower and provide bracing, and get the hood to shut right, with even clearances all round. People don't understand what it takes. Two stage paint takes more time to rub than it does to spray. Why would they do that to a stock cowl induction hood? Looks, you won't break into the 12s with out cheater slicks or wrinkle walls and tubs.Enjoy an unmolested car.
That build sheet obviously did not include the “ new car smell” lol.
Wow! and I thought 38,000 original miles was low, I think something must have happened to the deck lid, stripes where painted on with a template, no way they should be that far off, nice to see another with bench seat and no flap door on cowl induction hood. Love the videos.
450 horsepower was a lot in 1970
