THEY’RE STILL OUT THERE!!! Old Warehouse Discovered Hiding A 1970 LS6 Chevelle Over 45 Years

- After following dead end lead after dead end lead I finally was able to find this elusive 1970 LS6 Chevelle that I’ve been chasing for over a year. The Chevelle was discovered hidden under a large amount of miscellaneous junk in a old storage warehouse since 1974. This Chevelle hails from the Flint, Michigan assembly plant which makes it very rare. Flint assembled LS6 Chevelles are the rarest and very very few are known to exist especially in Tuxedo black. Ride along with me as we do a thorough walk around of this King of the Muscle Cars Barn Find LS6 Chevelle. If you have a rare find to share or need assistance authenticating a 1970 Chevelle you may contact me at pnichols26@yahoo.com or on FB at Patrick Glenn Nichols Musclecar Barn Finds. [THIS CAR IS NOT FOR SALE.]
Reinstall the motor and original trans, clean it from top to bottom, lightly buff the paint, and be the envy of most muscle car owners....bullet holes and all!! Incredible find!! Thanks Patrick!!
First thing I thought, haha - definitely keep the bullet holes!
That car has been stored since I was in high school! I’m 63 now! I hope it gets restored leaving the bullet holes!
I hate that the car had to sit for so long. But I do appreciate the fact that they kept it indoors. I respect your work and what you do with authenticating and showing videos of these cars. Keep up the good work.
That's the Holy Grail of Chevelle SS
Amazing! An LS6 find sitting since 1974 would be exciting for anyone. I'm envious.
It crazy how many different plants built these Chevelles, great Channel
Great video and story; I can hear Skynrd’s “Gimee Three Steps” from those bullet holes 🏁🏳️
Man, what a great job documenting the car Patrick. You need to make a purchase on this if you can. Sounds like the ultimate SS combo! Sitting that long and it's in relatively great shape. Glad they decided to store the car inside, makes all the difference.
The car is special. Your not special
Put it back together clean it up and leave the rest of the car alone bullet holes and all and just drive it . Another awesome car thanks for sharing it
100%!
Beautiful rust free body, wouldn't take a lot to put it back on the road! Thanks for this video Patrick!
You're a busy bee, I wish I had your talent and tenacity because that's what it takes to do what you do, thank you sir, you give me hope to find one , one fine day I may find me that chevelle I've been searching for
that car had an extremely hard life in just 4 years, it needs almost everything!
Most did
@@MaliciousSRT Especially back then scrap prices were really high. Let's say like $500 or so. People would have part them out for money too. What were they thinking?
@@trickyricky12147 They all rusted really bad too. A friends dad had a 73 challenger and he said by the late 70's it was so rotten you had to watch where you leaned on it!
@@MaliciousSRT Well.... especially Mopar No Fars. But to some extent I disagree. I believe that vehicles back then had thicker gage metal body panels and yeah certain vehicles tend to rot faster than others especially when you live in the northern region. He might've lived somewhere around that area, just my guess. Road salt is a big factor too.
@@MaliciousSRT llp loop llp 0oooooooooooooolllllllll lol pppp9p09p it l
Wow !!. Thank the owner for showing it that car is correct correct and correct !! That car is Epic I can't believe what I see here and they have the Original 454 !! I almost smash my phone jumpin. Around !!
Another great LS6 find. How much fun would that be to show this car some well deserved Love after so many years.
One awesome
One awesome Flint Mi car!!!!! I would like to see this car brought back to life!
That’s beautiful. The ultimate LS6. Thanks for posting!!! Keep up the amazing work
I , Archived this automobile " Great Representation " ! Thank You very much Mr Patrick 👍 , I , really appreciate getting to see this ultimate Muscle Car time machine . Thanks to the Owner for taking good care of it !
Glenn, I'm 62, and growing up, a kid a few years younger than me had an LS-6 4 spd Black with white stripes, I know it was an LS-6 as I changed bent pushrods in it and the covers had never been off, the valves were out of adjustment, and after I replaced the bent pushrods and set the valves, he said go ahead and take it for a ride, at the time it was blindingly fast and the tires could not hold that car, it did also have a 4:10 and we talked about switching his posi and gear into my 67 350 camaro which was a 4spd/3:31 rs/ss Tahoe turquoise black vynal, we lived in Madison Heights, Michigan.
Tuxedo black '70 Chevelle, LS6, M22, 4.10 rear, cowl induction, bucket seats... Man, if they find that original transmission and restore to concourse condition, it just might be a million dollar Chevelle...
...if not for those damn bullet holes and rigged up automatic shifter.
Not quite... a mint ORIGINAL PAINT Black LS6 with M22 AND 4.10'S with 4300 original miles only sold for 300k in the last 2 years.
@@TheJagjr4450 records are broken everyday.
@@patrickglennnicholsmusclec1674 -Not those kind......
They just keep showing up! And I like it!
Very straight clean car wow, the bullet holes front and back that was a close one or two, adds character. can't fake the dust, so sweet. way cool find thank you for sharing.
I ain't know Chevy guy,but I have always loved Chevelles ,great Video Thanks
cousin Delbert I’ve always been a Chevy guy but as I get older I’ve realized how badass mopars are so even though I’m still a Chevy guy I’m gonna try to get a 67-69 barracuda and 68-69 roadrunner or a 70-74 challenger or a 70-74 barracuda but that’ll be after I finish my 68 Chevelle 69 lookalike (69 nose and tail)
That is a nice find ,nice nice car! I hope one day you can do a follow up vid of it back on the road. In my opinion it don’t need much of a resto. Put the engine/trans in it and give it a bath it would be a beautiful car!
Yes indeedy !!
The cats are the only ones who cared about these cars all the time they were in the barn. You should bring it back and show the cats once restored, and video their reaction.
My old man should have kept his LS6 Chevelle from Scuncio Chevrolet. Blue with white stripes and black interior with buckets. I remember riding in the back of it. Must have been around 1972-1973 . I'm into cars and photos of cars, but not at that age ! I wonder where that car is today?
I remember when we picked the car up in Mystic, Connecticut from the original owner, the guy's girlfriend was crying as it was driven away! I still remember that. My father always said to me. " I should have never sold that car." Of all the cars that my father owned, he knew that he should have kept that car. I think the gas prices forced him to sell (I don't actually recall who bought it or why it was sold.) I was pretty young back then.
@@c103110a hahahaha same...My old man always had hot Chevy's and promised them to me but always sold em
Patrick, another amazing find! The body on this chevy is amazing condition! I hope the owner leaves the bullet holes, excellent back story about young lovers! I highly respect your documentation of the automotive history it's spot on professional and informative. Thank you. Keep up the good work!
I'm 70 years old and currently restoring a 1968 elcamino ss 396, 138 vin , black bucket seat, floor console, staple shift TH400 auto, 12 bolt rear, black vynal top, butter nut yellow , GM 5 spoke Steel wheels, in dash roller tach. Thanks again for the great job.
Thank you Patrick for sharing another rare find. Beautiful.
I know the man personally that owns this car and I will leave it at that. This is a true original.
You should do a follow-up on one of the car's you find, that is being restored. That would be awesome.
He already does check his channel
Just to let you know I have been a Ford fanatic for well over 50 years. Now that’s out of the way I have a lot of appreciation for this particular vehicle. It’s an old motorhead working on something like this would be a real wake up and a good kick in the pants.
No mention of those cab over Peterbut 352's. Those are serious collector items too!!!!
The red cabover truck was a white freightliner, the other was a Ford!
If that car were washed and carefully buffed, it would be very presentable. I don't know if I would restore it or not. Nice video.
Excellent barn find!!!!!!!!!!!! Truly EPIC as you've indicated. Hopefully, the original transmission can be located. :)
Great video as always. I know where there is an all original, 25,000 mile L34 SS396 70 chevelle. Garaged I believe since 72 or 73. Saw the car years ago and almost fell over. At that time it had original everything.
Oh goodness! Great find - left me speechless! Thank you for sharing.
That's a beautiful SS they should restore it and put it back on the shame to have it sit there I restored to its natural beauty and put it back out for everyone to see
Keep up the great work love to see all the videos you do an excellent job the 69 Chevelle with less than 2,300 miles is my favorite
tim griggs yes that is one awesome car.
My brother has a 1970 Chevelle SS 396 and we were wondering if that car came factory with a holly 780 carburetor or was it a Quadrajet and if you wanted to do a walk-around of his car to share in the video he would probably be okay with that also if you want to get in touch with me just let me know a12 449 0122.
We just finished having a repaint and interior work done and the engine cleaned up
He lives in Evansville Indiana
Thanks for all that hard work Patrick !!!
Great video Patrick, I always look forward to seeing your new videos. I currently have a 1973 Plymouth Duster but the Chevelles have always been my favorite muscle cars. It must be a very low mileage car since it was parked since 1974. I have never seen a LS6 car that didn't have the high red line tach before.
What a rare find ,the owner must be very proud
Beautiful piece of history, it is hard to imagine that something like this gets left to hang out, but times were different as I understand
Amazing car, that is my favorite that you've shown so far. That is something ill only be able to dream about, black ls6,it just doesn't get any better....great video once again thank you for what you do.
Great video. Thank you for putting these out I really enjoyed them. What an awesome find. Like you said anybody who’s into muscle cars would appreciate this car. Although I’ve on 14 late model mustangs over the years, I will always remember when I was younger I had a blue with white stripes 1970 Chevelle SS 454 1:18 scale model and I really loved it . I love muscle cars!
Great restoration candidate thanks for great work Patrick.
Hi Patrick, Great job on finding these cars.
Keep up the great work Patrick I watch your posts every day
Thanks for taking us with, as always very informative. I believe that I'm catching on.
Those cab overs are beautiful
You recognize the Ford WT 9000?
Remember the movie White Line Fever?
@@Torsee yesssssss
Nice car Patrick. Always good to see you in your element. Thanks for posting.
I'm a big fan ..from sydney nova Scotia ..canada .I made a comment about a 70 396 chevelle real ss 4 speed car light blue with white stripes .it's in a guys sisters back yard for 25 plus years ....
What a truly amazing find.
I've always been a Mopar fan and have owned more than a few I wish I still owned today.
With that being said I wouldn't be embarrassed to cruise this beauty down Wabash on any day of the week...
The reason it’s a survivor is because it’s first years were rough . Stored early in the game .
Beautiful Black SS. "WOW" Thanks Patrick
Hey Patrick brother I don't know how the heck you can find them but you sure can such an amazing car
So that's where that boy got off to, I will be in touch!! No hard feelings come over an get yer rockcrusher
"I will lift the hood and we will address some of the details about the Flint cars. First thing you'll notice is that Flint Assembly did not install engines in the cars made there, as they were evidently not yet tooled up for engine installation in early March of '70"
Pay attention silly
Didn’t Cowl Induction mean it would also have hood and deck stripes? Wonder why they’re not visible.
Story gets better every time you hear it. Dozens of cars like this rotted into the ground waiting to be restored. This one too, will probably end up in the trash heap. Owners/hoarders never let this go until they die. Their car, their choice.
Hey Patrick was the car a no stripe car when New? Also are you going to do a small video in the engine, would love to see it. Great Video as always Patrick! You have to have one of the best jobs out there👍
I have a stripe delete 69 big block ss car. Mine is nowhere near as rare as this one, but with 23k and all original. Including the 4 speed, I can say they are desireable.
I thought all cowl induction cars were supposed to have stripes.
@@chevyblue10 Correct, cowl induction cars did come with stripes unless you opted to delete them.
I was wondering throughout the video abt the build sheet. And you addressed it at the end -👍🏻
Really enjoyed the video, thank you Patrick.
Looks like it is ready to go wash. Put a headlight in tages lets go. Great find!
Great video Patrick! You're hard work and knowledge is appreciated!!!!
Sweet car! I hope it gets out back together with as much originality as possible.
Love these videos he'll wish I could be on sight seeing as you see 👀🙂and experience the weeds , the dark dank barns robbing noses with these beautiful cars 🚗. THANKS FOR SHARING.
damn patrick you are the man sir thanks for the videos
I love watching your barn finds another "epic" one for sure.
Thanks as always, I enjoy your videos and commentary on all your barn finds. Great work
It's very rare back thenfor someone to remove a 4-speed and put in an automatic and go through the sequence of changing the pedals out and everything also normally the clutch pedal be left in the car
That's crazy!I have a 72 big block that was converted to an automatic(I converted it back)with buckshot dents in the rear window trim😆
Another awesome find! Keep up the good work!
This old timer must have been a hell raiser in his younger days, he might not have done much with this car, but at least he keep it inside
Enjoyed the video Patrick! More please
Cars you can get excited over
1970 Mercury Cougar! Love it. Wish they had not let that one go so long
That Ranchero looks dope with the cragars
Awesome Thanks Pat !
Thanks for the inspiration Patrick.
They're still out there I agree I've seen several myself hidden back in several collections what a nice specimen and tuxedo black at that
Another great find Patrick! Keep up the great work my friend. If you make it to SEMA this year, come see me at the 3M booth.
A true beauty!
Great job patrick!!!!
Good thing it got out of flint.....it would be a rust bucket.
Take a drink every time you hear solid or restoration.
Alot of gems!! Get them back on road👍👍
Awesome find.
Not withstanding the "holes"..would have to keep pics to share that story. Thankfully the motor is still around.
Notime ForFakeNews If it was Ronnie Van Zant’s car, I’d keep the bullet holes #skynyrd
wow shot at and hit! still a sweet ride!
Cool stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Love that car
I have watched this persons assessment of these cars for years and there just can't be many that know more about this cars then Patrick. He has to have invested an incredible amount of time and $$$ to know what he knows!!
love watching your videos its the way you video the car you take your time and don't rush like some people 👍😀
bright eyes I appreciate you saying that and for your support.
I love the videos you do and the story you tell👍🏽
Awsome find ! Thank you
Damn Pat.. I respect your dedication to the hunt!! You should've been a skip tracer!
That girl must've been drop dead gorgeous to get someone killed 😂 but anyways you don't have to find any body parts at all everything is there!! Hope they have it back on the road today!
Beautiful car. I hope to be one of the lucky ones to own one someday
Why is it that nobody ever lines these cars up when they park them, they’re always scattered like they’ve been in a friggin tornado!!
Great video Patrick
Love the chevelle videos.keep em coming
Alright...Alright...Alright
you made me laugh my ass off
Awesome find!
