I am so jealous of Hoovie. Not only did he find a beautiful woman in April but he found someone that shares his enthusiasm about cars. They are a great couple!
@@kubek5557 All women are fake to some extent. The thing is to find one whose fakeness (I know, not a word) aligns with your interests. She’s beautiful and loves cars, that’s enough for me these days. It looks like you want to hate on her being gorgeous, that’s fine by me but it’s not going to change my opinion of April.
How many miles does it have? I knew someone who had Green SS 454 that he bought brand new. He fell asleep at the wheel and crashed it into a moving train! He lived but the car didn't
I'm 45 and my first car was '71 Malibu. Swapped out the tired 307 for a lightly warmed over 350 backed with a TH350. Bench seat, 4 wheel drum, power steering and A/C. Ripped the dead air con out when I swapped the engine to save weight. I later planned to Vintage Air it before she decided she wanted to be a BBQ more than she wanted to continue to be my daily driver. Miss it to this day, but they're so out of range monetarily, I doubt I'll ever be able to own one again.
My first car, I was forced to buy, at exactly 16 years old, by my 28 year career Army Dad, was a $900, purple with black stripe 1973 Gremlin 232 6 cylijder auto. I told my Dad after almost daily getting into fights at school, that I was going to wrap it around a telephone pole if he didn't let me sell it. I used the $1000 I got for the Gremlin with a new $39.95 Earl Sheibs special paint job, and I than bought a $1000, black on black 1966 Chevelle Malibu, 327/375hp auto and went from being called not so nice names, to car wise, one of the coolest kids in high school. By the way April could pick up my 63 year old self in a YUGO! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
My cousin had a 70 Chevelle with the 454. Black on Black but no stripes. He later had thin pinstripes added to the fender and body lines front to back with little flourishes at the tips. For the 1st two years he had it he drove it a few times a week but then someone tried to steal it out of his driveway and he cleared out his garage and the car lived there for the next 45 or so years. The only time it came out was for maintenance or the 4th of July. He fired it up. Came down the driveway and as soon as the front tires hit the pavement he let it rip. Always 10 minutes later he would be back and put the car away in the garage for another year. When he passed away his new wife sold the car before any of the family could even ask about it. She HATED the Chevelle but loved the fact that it was worth a boatload of cash which she got when it sold.
Rock Crushers were developed for the higher-powered vehicles. And the whining sounds i hear are identical to the sounds i hear when driving my 66 GTO. I put a Rock Crusher in it back in 1984...
This was awesome, one of the best April's Garage episodes yet. That Chevelle was so clean, the knowledge you two have on these muscle cars is badass. It would be so cool if you could get your friend Dwayne to let you borrow his 911 GT3 for a future Saturday special.
April is such a natural beauty and a car lover! What more is there for a man to desire? So looks stunning and seems genuine a nice person. Tyler take good care of her!
i think the point of their relationship is that she's the one taking care of Tyler. i think things were rather sour for a long time in the old relationship, so her treating him as well as she does is obviously doing amazing things for Tyler. you can just tell he's in a much better mental place.
I talked my mom into buying a new '68 SS396 when I was 16 years old. Caught the fever bad and I have owned a '64, a '66 SS396 and a '69 SS396. Guess you could say I am a fan.
My dad is a Chevelle guy he currently owns and has for years a 69 street car and a 71 convertable show car but has had some others in between like another 69 race car and a 67 show car awesome stuff!
My dad had a 69 Chevelle SS 396 and was a stock car driver. Remember sitting in passenger seat when dad would pull next to kids and waste them! Fond memories 😊
the subtle "that's what she said" at 7:30, love the chemistry between you two talking cars ps make sure April drives as many different manuals as she can
Dude and Dudess, I had a '69 396 SS. For about 3 months, I was 17, and the insurance I had, more than doubled when I told I bought this thing. The only cool thing about not having this car anymore, I sold it, after 3 months, for a little over 3 times what I bought it for. In the mid 80's This thing was THE CAR. Everywhere I went, EVERYWHERE, people wanted to buy it. If I parked it anywhere, it was always within my sight. Red with White Ralley stripes, Black interior and Cowl Induction. I put 2 sets of rear tires on it, in 3 months! LOL. Loved that thing but, could not justify the insurance as a High Schooler. It went to a good home, someone that was vetted by my Drag racing neighbor, and he still has it!
Had a 1970 LS6 - back in the day. Sold it for $1900... sniff sniff. As a 6' 150 lb skinny kid the car came with a manual and no power steering - I promptly swapped the manual for a Turbo 400 transmission so I could park it!
I learned how to drive a manual in a 69 chevelle with a 454 & a 4 speed. The guy who owned it (a family friend) thought it would be hilarious to throw the keys at me & let me figure it out. It was definitely an experience. The first few times I let the clutch out too early & it would buck so freaking hard, then I just mashed the skinny pedal & started doing a big ol burnout 😂
This is funny because it reminds me of my instructor in auto body shop back in 1997. Every single car in his shop was a Chevelle SS…..he had about 10 of them and that’s all that we worked on 😅. No other type of car was in his shop. And the school gave him full rein….and yes he was an enthusiast living his dreams through the departments budget.
April says do you know how many 60 year old men I can pick up in this? The truth is April you can pick up a bunch of 60 year old men in a Chevy Chevette LOL
I love that April calls it a door panel instead of a door card. You can tell all the Americans who grew up learning about cars by watching Top Gear. It's hood, trunk, fenders and not boot, bonnet and wing. Also... Please don't say you like the spec of a 1970 Chevelle. It's options... You like the way it's optioned.
I grew up during the time of American muscle cars, but dad always had a British car hanging around the garage. To this day it’s still call it a door card, the bonnet, the boot lid and a wing, even on American cars.
Denied. She is too young to know anything different. It's forever a "door card" and the carpeting sits on the "floor boards." Tell me the last new card that had floor boards...
Yes you could get AC on a 454 car factory, my best friend's little sister had a super clean original 454 auto AC cowl induction car when she was 16! What a beautiful car!!!
A lot of the time when you meet a woman and they’re trying to get close to you they pretend to be more like you than they really are a lot of this is just window dressing and acting trust me it’ll all come out once I’ve been in a relationship for five years.
My old boss at the chevy dealer back in like 1999 went to Barett Jackson and came back with a 1970 Chevelle SS LS5 4 speed manual in that same color combo. Was an awesome car. He had it brought into body shop right away and had it totally redone to perfect.😊
For GM, the 11:1 compression engines, that also had a solid lifter camshaft, like the LS6 454, and certain 427's and 327's GM did allow AC. This LS5 would allow you have AC. You guys are great.
I understand most people like 1970 best but I have a soft spot for 1969. I got a 1969 SS the first day of my junior year of high school. What was my father thinking lol. It was hugger orange with white interior , the L78 375 hp motor, 4 speed. At that time it was a 3 year old car with 17k miles. I own the same spec car today more than 50 years later although not the same car, I wish I could find mine.
Tyler do, it get a Chevelle maybe a Yenko …..do…it I just recently bought a 13 Lexus ISF in ultrasonic blue off my close friend and I’m glad I decided to pull the trigger. I love this car.
I took my driving test at the age of 16 in my mother’s 1969 Chevelle Malibu. It had the basic 350 engine, but the carburetor was badly in need of a rebuild. The car almost stalled while I was making a left turn, but I kept it going by keeping my left foot on the brake and hitting the gas with my right. When I let off the brake the car lurched forward, and I made the turn without stalling. But I got marked off for ‘lack of smoothness’ or some such thing. But there was a happy ending. The minimum passing score for the driving test was 70 and my score was a 71. I got my license, and I’ve kept it for the last 51 years.
In 1970, my uncle came by my parents home with a 454 Chevelle in a metallic blue-grey colour. I was six at time, but I remember it as "the car where the back end kept wanting to pass the front end." I know it was a 454 because there was a raised metal 454 logo on the dash in front of the passenger seat that I ran my finger along repeatedly, In my memory, it was a notch-back, but since they didn't make notch-nack Chevelles in 1970 or put 454s into the earlier cars, I'll put that down to the Mandella Effect. He stayed with us for a bit over a week, just long enough for me to fall in love with that car. Today I have a 1:18 scale die-cast model of a 1970 LS6 in approximately the same colour which my wife bought me as a pre-emptive measure, and I have promised never to have more 1:1 scale cars than I can drive in a week.
Oh man, back in highschool a friends dad owned this in yellow and black stripes. He gave it to my friend and let us take it out, we had taken it to the city one night and it was just a day... Even pulled over and the cop let us go. Something about that experience , always makes me appreciate muscle cars from that era.
My dad had a 1968 Z28 Camaro RS (hidden headlights) and then got a 1969 396 Chevelle. I have had 7 Mustangs. 1980, 2 1992s, 2000, 2005, 2012, and then the 2015.
This was always at the top of of my wish list for looks and drivetrain - a Chevrolet musclecar Icon, had a 70-1/2 Camaro 4 speed but I liked the full frame cars much better
Got a 70SS396 black cherry with white stripes 63k original miles in the garage- Just sits there …. One day I’ll get to it… ever since lost my mom (Covid) just … Same with my Turbo Buick Just stopped - Beautiful car
Magnificent! Pure happiness. And its Black with white rally stripes, perfection. However, April is an amazing distraction, almost forgot there was a car there. Mmmmm...
We had a drag race between a 1970 Chevelle with a 454 and a 1968 Camaro with a 350 back in the 70's when I was in High school. The Camaro didn't want to race for obvious reasons. The guy in the Chevelle said he wouldn't leave till the Camaro hit 2nd gear. When he left, you could tell the Chevelle was going to catch him, and beat him in the 1/4 mile. Which he did. That was one of the fastest cars I ever saw.
I look forward to every upload to Hoovies Garage and have seen every upload I think. Now to fill the gaps, we have this channel. Love y'all so much. Every car guy dreams for a girl like April. She could turn this gay car guy str8 for real! 🤣😍
Such a cool car my dad had a 1970 Chevy chevelle ss convertible 454 ls6 with Muncie 4speed with a bench seat cowel induction he had no idea how rare sold it in 80s missed the hype and huge house buying values
This is my absolute favorite car. In a perfect world mine would be dark green, white stripes and a vynil top. Of course the LS6 and a four speed. :) Very cool video and even cooler car.
Slight correction here Tyler. In 1964/1965 a True SS will have the numbers 138 in the VIN. My first car was a 1965 Chevy Chevelle Malibu SS. A good friend of mine from high school had a 1964 Chevy Chevelle Malibu SS. And they both had 138 in the VIN's. I'm not sure when they stopped putting the 138 in the VIN.
April, We are all hoping that you help, guide, nurture, and support our Hoovie to make good decisions moving forward on this channel...😁(❤) Nice Chevelle, By the way. My oldest brother bought one in 1970. I don't know the proper name for the color, It was a light sage green, with a green vinyl top and white stripe package. And as a 9 year old, I was scared to death of it, but I also thought it was effing' awesome at the same time. That's my book for the day...
In high school in the early ‘70s. The bench seats were not as cool as buckets, but we called the bench seats s-o-b seats because all it took was a hard right and it was slide over baby
Yanked the M-22 out of my '70 SS396 Chevelle a year ago and replaced it with a Tremec TKX . That TKX brought that bow tie alive, plus great on the highway now with that 5th gear. If the M-22 wasn't so collectible, I'd toss it in a dumpster.
I owned a 1970 GM A-body for 31 years. They are simply right, in a whole lot of ways. Easy to drive, easy to fix, easy to modify, and uncomplicated. Solid engineering as well, and durable. At least mine had very high build quality from Flint. A 68 to 72 GM A-body is extremely popular for a reason. Not to mention GM Design was hitting it out of the ballpark with physical appeal.
I owned a 1972 Chevelle Malibu 350 with Crager SS rims in High School through College. The biggest thing I remember is that the drum brakes all around were terrible. I would love to own your friends 454 beast.
I have told my children that they have to find a big block and drive it at least once The launch is way more fun than a dodge caravan those were the days
My first car was a 10-year old beater 69 Chevelle with a 327 and automatic. It had sat in a driveway for a couple years but I got it running. I had to wire in a bypass switch for the starter and a manual choke control and the ignition switch was wore out so it could be started with almost any key. It was a filthy beats but I wish I kept it and cleaned it up. It wasn't really special but it could have been restored nicely.
My dad had ine of these. Worked a whole summer truck driving long haul from New York to California fast hauling ironically jet engines. He could get there in 3 days and that fot him a huge bonus. Then some old lady running late to a doctor's Appointment slammed into the side of it whike he was at a red light. She went up over the median and hit him doing about 35. Actually launched him out the other side of the car and into the grass. Then she tried to claim the accident was his fault somehow. My dad being a former USMC scout sniper was about to snap her neck when she came up yelling at him that he just stayed there parked when she came over the median, he could have moved safe,y past where she ended up. Like the mental gymnastics.....but ultimately she was given a ticket and then my dad got a 72 Barracuda.
My sister had. A 1970 454ss stage 6, blue with white stripes. She. Ruled the street scene in Seattle during the 80s n 90s.friend offered her almost triple the value n she sold it. Do know she misses that beast..
@@RW_TractorPilot These people don't know there engine codes, for 1970, engine is a LS-6 454/450. Be nice if they could look information up instead of just guessing or listening to someone who hasn't a clue.
I am starting to get some real respect for April!. I can tell she is a big fan of real American cars! I am a little tired of how every You Tube car person (Hoovie included) Push used imported cars then bemoan the faults they have when they are old and have some miles on them. All cars do that. Anyway before I get on another soapbox. Cudoes to April for enjoying American iron! April you can take this 67 male for a ride in your Lincolin anytime!
The “rock crusher” was the Muncie M22 close ratio. It had the same close ratio as the M21 but the 22 had a different degree of gear teeth for 1st through 3rd gear. And 4th was the normal. Anyway the teeth change allowed it to handle much more torque but it did make the transmission have a distinct grinding or winding sound. Hence the name Rock Crusher. So if you notice the sound from the trans distinctly change from the first 3 girls than 4th then it’s a rock crusher. If it doesn’t then it’s an M21. But no one makes aftermarket 4 speeds with the close ratio gears of the M21 M22 muncie. 2:20, 1:64, 1:28, 1:00 are the gear ratios. It’s the closest ratio trans ever made by a manufacturer.
Liking April's Garage quite a bit. Her passion for Detroit Muscle is a nice counterpoint to Hoovie's Euro-fascination. Nice combo.
right. sure that's what it is.. stop being a simp
@@SpaceRanger187I hope you feel better bro. one day you’ll find a bike of your dreams.

Needs a 4 spoke black rim wheel from Camaro to make it correct
Did anyone notice if there was a car in this video I noticed some Cake.
I’ve only a 71 Chevelle for nearly 40 years. And I daily drive it.
How many miles does it have?

Similar. My 70 has over 300k miles on it.
Do you keep it looking classic/brand new condition?

Beautiful. Just Beautiful. You guys make a great team.

Having owned a big block Chevelle myself that idling sound never gets old.

Between the 70 Chevelle SS and your passion for the Grand National, you have shown better taste in cars than Hoovie!!😊
The Tyler's dad pic got me.Too funny!
Was that a joke or legit? I couldn't tell.
I know!
So April gets two for one?
Based on the whine of the gearbox, it definitely sounds like a M22 Rock Crusher. The sound of nearly straight cut gears is glorious
One of the cars I learned to drive on. My sister had a 70,396/4 speed. Yes I believe it was a m22.
Rock Crushers were developed for the higher-powered vehicles. And the whining sounds i hear are identical to the sounds i hear when driving my 66 GTO. I put a Rock Crusher in it back in 1984...

My old boss at the chevy dealer back in like 1999 went to Barett Jackson and came back with a 1970 Chevelle SS LS5 4 speed manual in that same color combo. Was an awesome car. He had it brought into body shop right away and had it totally redone to perfect.😊
For GM, the 11:1 compression engines, that also had a solid lifter camshaft, like the LS6 454, and certain 427's and 327's GM did allow AC. This LS5 would allow you have AC. You guys are great.
I understand most people like 1970 best but I have a soft spot for 1969. I got a 1969 SS the first day of my junior year of high school. What was my father thinking lol. It was hugger orange with white interior , the L78 375 hp motor, 4 speed. At that time it was a 3 year old car with 17k miles. I own the same spec car today more than 50 years later although not the same car, I wish I could find mine.
Tyler do, it get a Chevelle maybe a Yenko …..do…it I just recently bought a 13 Lexus ISF in ultrasonic blue off my close friend and I’m glad I decided to pull the trigger. I love this car.
My best friend owned a 1970 Big Block El Camino SS 4-speed that I loved. That car was a beast
Granted Chevelles are probably the most common muscle car from that era. There's tons of them even today. That ending was hilarious...lol
I took my driving test at the age of 16 in my mother’s 1969 Chevelle Malibu. It had the basic 350 engine, but the carburetor was badly in need of a rebuild. The car almost stalled while I was making a left turn, but I kept it going by keeping my left foot on the brake and hitting the gas with my right. When I let off the brake the car lurched forward, and I made the turn without stalling. But I got marked off for ‘lack of smoothness’ or some such thing. But there was a happy ending. The minimum passing score for the driving test was 70 and my score was a 71. I got my license, and I’ve kept it for the last 51 years.
Omg the most beautiful car in the world, my one true love car. Also I love the new hair April.
In 1970, my uncle came by my parents home with a 454 Chevelle in a metallic blue-grey colour. I was six at time, but I remember it as "the car where the back end kept wanting to pass the front end." I know it was a 454 because there was a raised metal 454 logo on the dash in front of the passenger seat that I ran my finger along repeatedly, In my memory, it was a notch-back, but since they didn't make notch-nack Chevelles in 1970 or put 454s into the earlier cars, I'll put that down to the Mandella Effect. He stayed with us for a bit over a week, just long enough for me to fall in love with that car. Today I have a 1:18 scale die-cast model of a 1970 LS6 in approximately the same colour which my wife bought me as a pre-emptive measure, and I have promised never to have more 1:1 scale cars than I can drive in a week.
Thanks for the tour, very nice vehicle.
Oh man, back in highschool a friends dad owned this in yellow and black stripes. He gave it to my friend and let us take it out, we had taken it to the city one night and it was just a day... Even pulled over and the cop let us go. Something about that experience , always makes me appreciate muscle cars from that era.
Have a 70 SS 396. Love it. Love April’s enthusiasm!
Great grandma had a 72 Buick skylark. Man loved that car! That dash reminded me of her car!
My dad had a 1968 Z28 Camaro RS (hidden headlights) and then got a 1969 396 Chevelle. I have had 7 Mustangs. 1980, 2 1992s, 2000, 2005, 2012, and then the 2015.
Kudos to your producer's wardrobe dept April. Those leggings just added several hundred pairs of eyeballs, but you already knew that. ;-)
This was always at the top of of my wish list for looks and drivetrain - a Chevrolet musclecar Icon, had a 70-1/2 Camaro 4 speed but I liked the full frame cars much better
Got a 70SS396 black cherry with white stripes 63k original miles in the garage-
Just sits there ….
One day I’ll get to it… ever since lost my mom (Covid) just …
Same with my Turbo Buick
Just stopped -
Beautiful car
Magnificent! Pure happiness. And its Black with white rally stripes, perfection. However, April is an amazing distraction, almost forgot there was a car there. Mmmmm...
We had a drag race between a 1970 Chevelle with a 454 and a 1968 Camaro with a 350 back in the 70's when I was in High school. The Camaro didn't want to race for obvious reasons. The guy in the Chevelle said he wouldn't leave till the Camaro hit 2nd gear. When he left,
you could tell the Chevelle was going to catch him, and beat him in the 1/4 mile. Which he did. That was one of the fastest cars I ever saw.
I will be 54 and YES April can pick me up in this beauty! 😂
Beautiful car and a beautiful woman. Perfect combo ❤.
Does April come with the purchase of that car as well?
I look forward to every upload to Hoovies Garage and have seen every upload I think. Now to fill the gaps, we have this channel. Love y'all so much. Every car guy dreams for a girl like April. She could turn this gay car guy str8 for real! 🤣😍
Such a cool car my dad had a 1970 Chevy chevelle ss convertible 454 ls6 with Muncie 4speed with a bench seat cowel induction he had no idea how rare sold it in 80s missed the hype and huge house buying values
This is my absolute favorite car. In a perfect world mine would be dark green, white stripes and a vynil top. Of course the LS6 and a four speed. :) Very cool video and even cooler car.
OMG, stunningly gorgeous! Oh and the Chevelle looks okay too. Tyler is one lucky, lucky man.
Slight correction here Tyler. In 1964/1965 a True SS will have the numbers 138 in the VIN. My first car was a 1965 Chevy Chevelle Malibu SS. A good friend of mine from high school had a 1964 Chevy Chevelle Malibu SS. And they both had 138 in the VIN's. I'm not sure when they stopped putting the 138 in the VIN.
April, We are all hoping that you help, guide, nurture, and support our Hoovie to make good decisions moving forward on this channel...😁(❤) Nice Chevelle, By the way. My oldest brother bought one in 1970. I don't know the proper name for the color, It was a light sage green, with a green vinyl top and white stripe package. And as a 9 year old, I was scared to death of it, but I also thought it was effing' awesome at the same time. That's my book for the day...
In high school in the early ‘70s. The bench seats were not as cool as buckets, but we called the bench seats s-o-b seats because all it took was a hard right and it was slide over baby
The bench seat had an advantage that bucket seats didn't have!
@@kickit59 I seem to remember that from high school, make a left and she slides right over.
Yanked the M-22 out of my '70 SS396 Chevelle a year ago and replaced it with a Tremec TKX . That TKX brought that bow tie alive, plus great on the highway now with that 5th gear. If the M-22 wasn't so collectible, I'd toss it in a dumpster.
Hard to focus on the Chevrolet , when I can’t stop staring at those tights. Nice chassis it is.
What Chevrolet
@@kevinspinner5428 to text supposed to say Chevelle. I didn’t read it before I posted it. Sorry.
Such a rad car!! That is right up there with your C2 Corvette.
Saw 3 complete 70-72's 2 are LS6's today at my cousins shop and 6 more in different stages of restoration and 5 more 66-67's being restored. WOW.
I owned a 1970 GM A-body for 31 years. They are simply right, in a whole lot of ways. Easy to drive, easy to fix, easy to modify, and uncomplicated. Solid engineering as well, and durable. At least mine had very high build quality from Flint. A 68 to 72 GM A-body is extremely popular for a reason. Not to mention GM Design was hitting it out of the ballpark with physical appeal.
I owned a 1972 Chevelle Malibu 350 with Crager SS rims in High School through College. The biggest thing I remember is that the drum brakes all around were terrible. I would love to own your friends 454 beast.
I have told my children that they have to find a big block and drive it at least once The launch is way more fun than a dodge caravan those were the days
My first car was a 10-year old beater 69 Chevelle with a 327 and automatic. It had sat in a driveway for a couple years but I got it running. I had to wire in a bypass switch for the starter and a manual choke control and the ignition switch was wore out so it could be started with almost any key. It was a filthy beats but I wish I kept it and cleaned it up. It wasn't really special but it could have been restored nicely.
Wait? Tyler’s dad on the cover of playgirl? Guessing one of the joke covers but a weird picture to pic for a video 😂.
I was wondering myself...
Ford guy here, I would own and LOVE that Chevelle.
My dad had ine of these. Worked a whole summer truck driving long haul from New York to California fast hauling ironically jet engines. He could get there in 3 days and that fot him a huge bonus. Then some old lady running late to a doctor's Appointment slammed into the side of it whike he was at a red light. She went up over the median and hit him doing about 35. Actually launched him out the other side of the car and into the grass. Then she tried to claim the accident was his fault somehow. My dad being a former USMC scout sniper was about to snap her neck when she came up yelling at him that he just stayed there parked when she came over the median, he could have moved safe,y past where she ended up. Like the mental gymnastics.....but ultimately she was given a ticket and then my dad got a 72 Barracuda.
My first car was an SS Chevelle, your example is beautiful, it lacks the bucket seat/console option. Very nice, I regret ever selling it too!
A/C WAS.. and option on the LS5.. Just NOT.. the LS6.. The GM rule was No A/C on Any engine with Solid Lifters. :)
AND ( the M22 was still available on a 1970 Chevelle )..
The one exception was the 1972 LT-1 Corvette... solid lifters and A/C was an option.
I'm 42, and the 70 chevelle is my dream car. Tyler, she's a chevelle girl. Put a ring on it. Those are rare!
I seem to grow extra eyes when April is smoothing about…..saints above - Mercy April…!
My sister had. A 1970 454ss stage 6, blue with white stripes. She. Ruled the street scene in Seattle during the 80s n 90s.friend offered her almost triple the value n she sold it. Do know she misses that beast..
No such thing as a "stage 6" you are referring to the LS-6 454/450 horse power Chevelle.
Stage 6 ?
😂
@@RW_TractorPilot These people don't know there engine codes, for 1970, engine is a LS-6 454/450. Be nice if they could look information up instead of just guessing or listening to someone who hasn't a clue.
My fist car was a 70 chevelle. Red buckets. Pulled the 300 hp put in a built 396. 2 months later totaled it out while still in my teens. Sad day.
I am starting to get some real respect for April!. I can tell she is a big fan of real American cars! I am a little tired of how every You Tube car person (Hoovie included) Push used imported cars then bemoan the faults they have when they are old and have some miles on them. All cars do that. Anyway before I get on another soapbox. Cudoes to April for enjoying American iron! April you can take this 67 male for a ride in your Lincolin anytime!
I had one! Friends would drill 2 holes where the SS badge should be so people at the traffic light would think it was an SS!
Gen X here. Always loved the GM A body cars. Especially 68-72.
Definitely an iconic body..... I guess April and the Chevelle are beautiful too. 😊
Saw this exact spec with 4 miles on it, in a San Diego showroom 35 yrs ago. $25k!
Tyler you need to have April in all you car videos!
April is Perfect for you Hoovie ❤ I love her 🤣 Laugh
“Aprils Garage” is terrifying!!!
The only transmission available with LS5-LS6 Your choice T-400 or an M22.
The “rock crusher” was the Muncie M22 close ratio. It had the same close ratio as the M21 but the 22 had a different degree of gear teeth for 1st through 3rd gear. And 4th was the normal. Anyway the teeth change allowed it to handle much more torque but it did make the transmission have a distinct grinding or winding sound. Hence the name Rock Crusher. So if you notice the sound from the trans distinctly change from the first 3 girls than 4th then it’s a rock crusher. If it doesn’t then it’s an M21. But no one makes aftermarket 4 speeds with the close ratio gears of the M21 M22 muncie. 2:20, 1:64, 1:28, 1:00 are the gear ratios. It’s the closest ratio trans ever made by a manufacturer.
Tyler, you need to grow a mustache like your dads. We need to see this.
