The great thing about this video is that this guy actually drives the car the way that it was meant to be driven. Bad ass video!👍
Well thanks man!
Thank you thank you. I'm a 55 year old hot rodder and I greatly appreciate the burnouts the clutch pedal and all that good stuff. This video is what all videos should be. Taking out our cars for some therapy time
Hey thanks Patrick, I appreciate the positive feedback! Just having fun with the old sled.
Couldn't agree more !
Great seeing a young guy enjoying old muscle.
Thank you! My father was a mechanic, I grew up turning wrenches.
I’m the proud owner of a 70 LS6 Chevelle, although these days it has more than its original 450 horsepower…respect brother, sweet ride!
Hey thank you, and to you too!!! 1970 LS6 is a dream car!
Built for speed...and terrorizing the streets!
Sure is!!
He don’t have streets he gots fields 😂
Fantastic, nothing better than a stroked bigblock chevelle. You are a lucky man!
Thank you!! It’s a fun car and was a fun build
Groceries $35 Fuel $65 !!! Speed camera ticket $165!! But worth it ! Subbed !!
Thank you very much!!!
Thank for the video . My first car was 64 Malibu SS . 4 speed . It was a blast to drive . Man this brings back memories . Imagine this at 16 ! I remember laying rubber down in all 4 gears many times . We changed the flywheel out to 9 inch and made a big difference when running through the gears .
That’s awesome man! Thank you for sharing that!!
Same here with a 283/220 hp. Pretty strong but lacked that “kick ass” speed. Replaced many a clutch & blew the engine once. Next car was a ‘70 Chevelle SS396. Now that car was a Beast!
This is the most fun I've ever had riding around with someone running errands
Well I really appreciate that!!! Thank you!
Beautiful car, we call shifting like that coffee breaking.
Coffee breaking??
@@leojt9423 When one doesn't speed shift. Not derogatory by any means.
@@kleenk8 I didn’t take it that way, was just trying to make sense of it hahah
The Chevy V8 and Ducati V twin at idle and at full pelt are the sexist sounds on the road! Thanks for taking us shopping 🤠👍
Thank YOU for watching!!!
Those have to be 40 series flowmasters. Know them very well. Beauty! Runs as clean is it looks
Thanks man! If I recall correctly I believe it’s the American Thunder 3” system. May be based on the 40 series mufflers though?
Sounds similar to a summit 2 trap before the traps blow
Damn, does this car bring back memories or what ? Bought a used 64 Chevelle 2 door hardtop back in 70 with a 6 cyl, 3 speed stick. A few months later, the Chevelle was sporting a complete [and additional built] 68-302 Z 28 motor, Pontiac Muncie 4 speed and a 66 GTO posi 3.90 gear rear. Hooker headers with a complete exhaust behind the rear wheels. Painted 68 Caddy Nottingham Green (emerald green). Car originally silver. Fun car to drive for 10 years and quick cause it was so light ! Surprised a lot of drivers on the street. Sold the car less engine in 1980 (stuck in a 30 over 327 , sold the Z motor separately). Can't tell you how many times I wished I had kept this car [but it was many] !
Love this!!!! This is the stuff that makes owning and ripping these old cars around so worth it. Thanks for sharing man!! I love that color and that drivetrain combination too.
@@leojt9423 Thanks, I spent a lot of time and effort on this build. The one before it was a 55 Chevy 210 with a 500+hp 331ci Corvette small block, Muncie 4 speed and a 4.11 posi rear. Best time in quarter with 4.88, 11.96 and 114+mph. Like a dummy I sold this car too and that was the reason for buying the 64 Chevelle.
@@paulacri604 wow sounds like an absolute w ripper of a car! We always regret selling them.
@@leojt9423 Yup both these cars were no slouches. Back in that time frame (late 60's, very early 70's) I worked part time in an automotive speed shop [while going to college full time] so I couldn't drive a non mover. Never drag raced the 64 but it motivated along quite well and surprised a whole bunch of drivers [on the street] as it was so light (3100 lbs+ w/o driver). Ah yes, those were the days ! Gone but experiences never to be forgotten !
@@paulacri604 thank you for sharing!!!!!
You can’t tell me that you don’t get adrenaline rush from your car!
It’s got be like owning the road 😊☝️
You gotta be on your game giving that car the business!
Thanks for the ride! 👍
Man I'm building and 64 right now and this is what keeps me going. Awesome car and video.
Well thank you!!! Good luck with the build, let me know if you have any questions!
So lucky to own several classics. And I can tell you really enjoy driving them too. Well, naturally they love to be driven, that's what they are made for right? I recognized the scenery too as I am originally from your part of Mass as well. I like how you take us through the whole thing from the cold start and then the ride in it. Keep the awesome videos coming dude!
PEDALFEVER Thank you very much for the feedback! I wish I had started documenting the builds and cars years ago.. would have so much good content. Will have more coming!! Thanks again.
I have a 64 chevelle SS, tucked into end of garage waiting until I finish a 63 chevy II, 5.3 alum block for the chevy II, but l'm leaning towards old school big block to the 64
very nice car, something to aim towards to see yours
Thank you!! Best of luck in your builds!
Wow! Beautiful Car! Spartan and All Business!! So Glad it's not a restomod Ls swap!! Old School Cool !! Thank You
Thanks man glad you dig it!
Pretty car. Thanks for the ride and the burnouts!
Thank you my friend!
PERFECT. Ass kickin big block chevrolet lets everyone know it doesn’t need loud mufflers.
She’s a ripper!!
damn...that was a blast....a virtual cruise in an old malibu!!!...man, I haven't been in one of those things in about 40 years...awesome.
Thanks man! So glad you enjoyed it. It’s a great car
The same here. Wasn’t it weird watching him find reverse, when us old timers are use to a four speed in these old school cars. The first time I saw a New Chevelle I was 14 yrs old at Church ball practice. It was a beautiful 4/sp, bucket seats, maroon SS. Don’t know how she managed it but a girl was driving and said her husband had bought it a few weeks back. Well, just like a bunch of morons after practice 4 or 5 guys wanted her to give them a lift up the road so they hopped up on the trunk as she was backing out. Knowing her husband would be mad if he knew they were sitting on his car, She told them to get off, those old blue jeans with their rivets in the pockets, digging into the paint. Dad having two nice 55’s when I was growing up taught me to respect other people’s vehicles, never to lean against and never sit on anyone’s car, I knew better, and knew this wasn’t going to be good. With that she popped the clutch, and scattered them up the road for about 50 yards. Most of the five had road rash like from a motorcycle accident. They didn’t feel much up to playing ball for a couple of weeks. The next time I saw the car parked their were scratches from where the blue jeans rivets dug into the paint as they were slung off the trunk lid.
@@donweathersbee3199 great story...that sounds like the chick from american graffitti, a few years later.
Now THAT'S a tuff car!!
Thank you!!
8:23 is when he actually gets the groceries for those viewers who clicked on this video for that!!!! :D
That car is bad ass one of the best chevelles on here
Thanks man! That’s a big compliment!
Sweet I could watch you drive around all day sounds sooo good 👌✌️
Look and sounds great..!! American Muscle cars are awesome!!!!
Thanks for posting.!!!
Thanks for watching man!
Very beautiful car ! With a electric fuel pump and another intake that gets more in
Looks and sounds great, this car would be lethal on UK roads 😂✌️
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it. It really is a ripper. Check out the video I most recently posted. There’s one clip of basically just redlining it through 1st and 2nd.
SWEET!!!! Dad left us his 65 SS!!!! Love that car!!!! Looks as your was originally auto with ac. Nice ride and it sounds just bad ass!!!!
Thanks JD - yes sir, was originally a 327 power glide car. However I got it with a 355/th350 so It wasn’t original still. Thanks for the comment!
Nice driving 👍. That’s my dream car lol
Thank you!! Build one!!
man, thats my dream car.
Hope you find one !
amazing car
Thanks!
Black with red interior,money.👍
Thanks!!!
That car is FUCKING SICK!!!!! LOVE IT
Well thanks Brandon!! Been meaning to put some content up on it.

That 496 pull’s great
Sure does thanks man
MY KIND OF GROCERY-GETTER!!
My man!!!
All cars should sound this way , should be LAW ...nice car !
Thank you!!!!
"Dad, I'm gonna go get some groceries. I'm taking the car. I'll be back in an hour."
Sounds nice passenger side blowing a little oil,I like the Hurst shifter
Thanks!
Cmon man no lift! Beautiful car btw.

BAD-ASS RIDE MAN!
Thanks man!!!
Very nice
Sweet car buddy
Thanks man!

Awesome man! Reminds me of my '64 Camino!
Thanks man!! It’s a great car. A handful for sure.
Phuck radio's! :) Sweet!
Thanks!!
Music comes from under the hood!
Awesome ride
Nice ride Man
Thanks man
Niiiiiice! VERY AMERICAN.
I've driven a lot of these cars with big block power - and my advice is a little smaller and much heavier steering wheel and a lot faster ratio power steering with a lot less power assist. Makes it easier to keep the front end ahead of the back end when you have a little too much tire slippage. It's way too easy to wind up in a ditch without these tweaks (ask me how I know)
Thanks Patrick! A wise suggestion. It does have an upgraded quick ratio steering box. However I can’t bring myself to change the factory wood wheel, like it too much!!!
@@leojt9423 High powered stick transmission cars should be able to instantly be steered lock to lock with just the left hand and arm. I pretty much kept the affordable blown big block Early A Body thing alive in KC since the late 70s.
I've totalled a half dozen cars like yours (to be fair I usually took less valuable 4 doors and made "shorty" and "dachshund" 2 doors out of them) and only advise you out of concern watching you saw the wheel at parking-lot speeds, Do as you wish.
That's the steering I grew up with teaches how to drive! Which most people can't.
@@williepelzer384 Easy to drive when you only got 400-600 horsepressures available.
Start creeping up on a thousand and it's a different story, Willie.
Very cool car.
Groceries in a hurry! 😄😄😄
You know it!! Groceries with a side of tire smoke!
@@leojt9423 👍
Nice car man
Thank you!!
What a beauty !
Thank you!
Thanks for the ride!
Thank YOU! This cars been sitting idly in my garage for a year.. need to make another one of these!
Super nice Chevelle bro. Reminds me of my dad's 65 SS he had. 327 4spd 12 bolt. He had a dual 4 max wedge old school intake that I have yet to find another like it. That back on red is real sharp
Hey thank you! Sounds like he had a great car!
He had several good cars. This was Vietnam Era where malibus and goats and 442's were all around. He told me he paid 1500 for my uncle Jim's 66 SS chevelle 396 4spd. I just about fell out of the chair. He flew from Oakland/Hayward to Florida and picked it up and drove it all the way back to California. Along the way is when he picked up that 65 Malibu SS. I've got pics of all his cars and stuff. It's truly something
Big Blocks with the clutch rule!!
She goes!!
I have the exact car, same colors but a 396/425
Right on!!!
I just decided what I’m gonna get after I acquire a grand national 🤣
Anything with a big block and stick shift is a good time. I’d love to pick up a GN or t-type etc too. Awesome cars
Man my 396 has a ton of power, i couldnt imagine 100 cubic inchs added
Nice man - in retrospect a hot 396 would have been plenty for this car. I over did it a little bit haha.
@@leojt9423 how much power are you making? What heads and can?
@@James-us6xf I don’t know actually. I haven’t dyno’d it but my guess is 600-ish.
Beautiful car!
Thank you!
Jesus christ, f.kin cool car with perfect condition
Thank you man!!
My first car was a 64 Buick grand sport. My second car was a 68 chevelle. Yeah I am old lol
Love both those cars!
I was going to show my 4 year old son how a big block performance car could perform and be “rowed through the gears” he said dad this was boring. As someone whos done a bit of street and Friday night brackets this guy hardly pushed this car. The shifts should bang bang bang with a Muncie like that. At the end it was a lot better. Still not near the true potential like a 0-100 as hard as it can go.
Watch the other videos 😎 much more aggressive driving in those ones. It’s also a Tremec 5 speed. But thank you!!
Love the sound of the BB! I've 496 stroker too - 1st gen Camaro. Sadly have to sell it, but first I've to replace head gaskets and drive for the first time hehe
Nice man!!
Very cool bro 🙂
Thank you!
thats funny checking the oil, like it took off to go to the store lol
John wick vibes lol 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hahah thanks man!!
If this Ole car had one of them driver mods it would run good 😆 what I'm trying to say is if it was drove like it was stolen she would get down
Check out the recent vids 👍🏼
The GroceryGetters they made back in the day.....
Sounds like it never gets over 3500 rpm. That's a great head and cam selection. I would like to see the torque spread on the Dyno. I bet it makes 500+ pounds from 2k and holds it to the top
Check out the newest Chevelle video from a couple weeks ago. Got some RPM on camera for ya. It’s a monster for sure.
The one with “Malibu violence” in the title*
Easily... mine similar build made closer to 610 foot pounds 585 hp
@@jamesunderdal8976 I agree! She's a torque monster for sure. Mines made 565hp/600tq on 9 to 1 compression ratio
It’s just a matter of time!
thats awesome !! very nice car !!
altzu thanks !!!!
Love this ❤️😍❤️😍 hot car!!!!!
Thank you for watching!
Why do the rear tire keep losing traction with the road?. my Ford does not have that problem
Too much power and too little grip. It’s a fun problem to have 👍🏼
Beautiful
Thank you!
Mint l have the identical car but it’s a pro street 900 Hp, 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
¡Está chingon ese Chevelle! 😍🔥
Nice ride.😊
Thank you!
God, what an amazing history of the American automotive industry! At the same time, the Soviets did (and do) outdated, copied and low-budget sh*t... There is something to be proud of, I envy you! :)
Nice grab some gears and grab some beers
Very nice!
Thank you!
Very nice car
old school chevy thank you!
Oh my gawd. Look out. What kind of offers have been made???
Haha thanks! No offers. Still have it!
A beautiful car, and can you tell me how much horse power it has? Thank you very much and I wish you all the best and a lot of satisfaction with the car.
Hi thank you! I estimate 600hp
@@leojt9423 Wow ,thats nice!
no tail pipies get exhaust out faster ,mufflers change ,big blocks gotta breathe
It’s got 2” header tubes into a full 3” H-pipe kit. She’s breathing well
Why waste a microfiber? I just use my shirt 🤷🏼♂️
Bitchin' 64' you got there. Keep rowin them gears.
Thanks man! The car has sat for the last few years. Spent the last few weeks tuning it up and just put 100+ miles on it yesterday!
Please tell me this is what heaven will be like
Hahaha I certainly
Hope so!
Sweet!
Thank you!
Motor sounds really good. Are you at 500hp ? Your 5 speed sounded like you didn't really hook up until 3rd and just feathering the gas. Would you go to something like M22 ?, Also what rear gear do you have ? I love your car.
Thank you! I would guess closer to 600 crank, 500’s to the tires. I can’t fit bigger than 255 width tires on it right now it doesn’t really “hook” mostly just roasts!
It’s actually the stock 10bolt 3.36 rear end with an Eaton LSD. The M22 is a great trans, but probably wouldn’t stand the torque of a hot big block. Also no overdrive!
I saw you replied again but can’t see the comment man.
My 496 with similar build made 585 hp and 610 ft pounds torque at flywheel very fun paired with the M21 in my 55 210
Nice ride man. Good to see another chevelle ripping around massachusetts! Looks like you are on the cape somewhere
Hey man thank you! Where are you? That is indeed the cape!!
@@leojt9423 Grafton, ma. Heading down to Harwich next week!
Sweet bro!! What kinda of cam do you have in it?
Hey man! It’s a hydraulic roller 223/230 .609/.609 112LSA, If my memory serves!
A “Sleeper” until you turn the key!
True that!!
I keep coming and watching your videos as mine is getting closer and closer to getting back on the road... Out of curiosity, what kind of compression are you running? That thing sounds and runs so damn well!
Hahaha thanks for continuing to watch man! It’s 10.6:1 with AFR 265 heads and a hydraulic roller 223/230 .609/.609 112LSA
@Car Guy daddyo heads and can we’re spec’d together for torque. Made about 600lbft at sea level so I’d hardly say they’re killing anything 😆
Can I ask How much you have total in the Engine alone? I'm 70 yrs old, and we had a lot of the Old 50 and 60s classic growing up . To many to name but sure miss them today.
David, more than I care to admit. I went a little overboard when I built it - was young and crazy.
5:20 thats a funny looking grocery store...
Had a couple stops along the way! Got there eventually though!
What color are your interior blinker lights in the dash? (I have a 65 and need to know lol)
Hahaha they’re green!
