- A numbers matching single repaint Special Hi Perf 1969 SS396 L78 Chevelle with 63K documented miles, 2 numbers matching 1967 SS396 Chevelles, and a 1987 and 1988 Monte Carlo SS.
I remember when cars of this vintage were new on the dealers lots and trying to think of how I could raise the $4000 or so to buy one 😊. Never would have thought they would be this collectable and expensive half a century later.
Thanks for this video!
Not only are they collector vehicles they are quality built to last even 80s and 90's cars prices went thru the roof because late models are made of abs plastic and chewing gum lol
Another great video! Those are 3 more fine examples of Chevy muscle car history. Warms my heart to see them in a nice building and not just rotting away in a yard or field. Thanks Patrick
Mine too. Thanks for watching.
Another great video from you Patrick. I am a Corvette Guy, and a judge with the NCRS= National Corvette Restorers Society. Thanks for decoding the trim plate tag on the vehicles firewalls. Very informative. You know your stuff. Hat's off to you!
Iiiou up ;jp⁰
Wild Bunch ! Used to be able to buy these beautiful Chevrolets for next to nothing... I started with Chevrolet in late 1975 ! Always a Fan ! Thanks Patrick !
My dad had a 67 396 Marina blue when I was a kid... Thats where I started to have a thurst for Muscle cars.... Thanks for sharing...
Patrick, I really loved that 69" Chevelle SS.
Love the gold with side stripes..
Just always loved the. Body lines on the 69" Its truly a timeless design..
Ty for Sharing these fine Bowties...😁😀👍
Great Chevelles , I love the gold 67 red line tires , auto trans just awesome., even the 2 montes are great examples of the 80s you don't see many of those aero coupes. Thank you sir for another awesome video.👍
I would love to put those Malibu in a car crushers.
I love 67 Chevelle's and bought a gold SS in 1978 for $500 minus only the 396 but including all other parts. Stuck a 396 in it my brother in law had and drove it as my hobby car for the next 4 year's. Built a second 396 to about 425 hp. over the 2nd year and also painted it Marina Blue. Had lots of fun and loved the experience of building a hot rod big block in my daddy's garage. The right bolt on parts and a few internal pieces really woke that thing up and it held together till right before I sold the car. The engine then went in a hotrod ski boat which the kid couldn't get the money out of his wallet fast enough after going for a ride with me. Good times those were. Nobody wanted muscle cars in the late 70's besides drag racers. Love to be able to get one for $500 today!
Awesome, whoever owns this shop has great taste!! True Chevy guy right there!
Beautiful Trifecta. L78 optioned are certainly my favorites.. 👍
The 67 is my all time favorite all three are beautiful thanks for sharing this.
My favorite classic car channel and I have quite a few. Your knowledge is priceless
I Love your videos man. I'm Very Fortunate to have finally got me a '67 Chevelle SS Big Block 454 4 speed car
Whenever I see video's like this reminds me when we had the oil embargo in the 70s. People were dumping their muscle cars like yesterday's newspaper. There was a curbside used car lot filled with every gas sucking, tire smoking muscle car that had rolled off the factory line. You could buy a 3 year old chevelle SS 396 for $1,500 and a 69 Dodge Challenger with a 383 Magnum for $1,800 and other muscle cars that would make any car lover drool for almost nothing. And now look what these cars go for now at auction.
A 69 Challenger? The Challenger didn't come out till 1970, yes-no??
Donald Thomas-----In 1978 I bought a 1972 Javelin SST with a 304, for $450.00.........Totaled it in Denver, a year later.
@@Garge56 Right you are my friend I meant to say Charger not Challenger.
nice find those cars are a mint to have. it shows how much we loves the classics
I just love the 67 Chevrolet it makes my heart pound harder wish I owned it beautiful
I bought a 1972 Charger with a 440 with 59-K miles on it in 1978 for $1,250.00 . It was owned by a family in their 30’s so it was not raced . It was recently painted metallic green and had slot mags . I was 16 and 1/2 years old. I saved most of the money delivering news papers when I was a kid . The inside of the car smelled like a new car . I picked up a good friend Rhonda I went too school with and see was jumping up in the seat smiling and she was happy for me and said the car smelled like her moms new Ford Mustang . I was on RT 1 in Elkridge , Maryland and pulled up next to a Chevy Duce owned by a local man in our town and I smoked him in a race and he was so pissed off that he was throwing up his arms in disbelief . He had a 327 Small Block and it was built by Coleman brothers speed shop. His car was a four speed that’s why I won the race . Yes my car probably had close to 300 HP . That’s not much compared to today’s standards. That torque flight automatic transmission was great and I won a lot of races with that car . I really wanted a Chevelle SS but most of them I looked at had over 100 thousand miles on them and see a hard life.
We road around all night listening to Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith and Black Sabbath And Nazareth 8 Track tapes and smoking weed and driving over 7 hills College Avenue That has very steep hills in Elliott City , Maryland at 60 plus MPH . Now that I think back too them days I am lucky to be alive . God I miss the 1970’s .
Thank God I grew up in the United States of America. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Listening to Zep and blowin Doobers
Great Chevelles, I like the Monte Carlos also.
Wow!!! Awesome collection! I especially love that gold 67!!! Sweet!!!!
Wow! What a find!!
I really enjoyed this video, thank you!
I used to own a 1968 Chevelle-Malibu. 250 w/power glide, pearl white bench seats, fire engine red. I loved that car ❤ I also had a 1987 Monte Carlo SS ❤
The Chevelle was totaled when I was hit broadside, passenger side 😢
And my Monte was taken from me from dirty theives who thought they deserved the car more than me, and chopped it 😞😡😠😤
Now I drive a Honda 😁
Again, thank you for sharing 😆🏁
a friend had a 67 chevellle SS BB power glide back in the 80's... went to pull the motor and dropped it on the radiator support... we were kids and the cars were just cars then ...nice cars ...thanks for sharing
Jaw dropping collection gave me goosebumps beautiful cars insane that there are plenty more out there in better shape with original paint still awesome!
That guy certainly has some sweet toys! Nice job as usual Patrick!
Thanks for sharing. You never really know what's in the barn or detached garage that you drive by every day.
Patrick is a living chevelle dictionary....I sure like his knowledge and enthusiasm.
Lol well thank you. I’m learning everyday just like everyone else.
That's a really good man that owns them too!
Wow, I bet that single snorkel air cleaner the on the gold '66 kills it's performance. I had a '77 Monza bracket car and I put a single snorkel air cleaner on it once, just for fun. It lost .7 seconds in the quarter mile and it had a mostly stock 350. I guess that's why so many people used to flip the air cleaner lids back in the day! Great videos, thanks!!!
1967davethewave. Sounds like a nice car
Finally!!!...someone has these beautiful cars garaged!!...soo tired of seeing these beauties rotting outside!
i purchased in 78 from a little ole lady from Pasadena ( not kidding) a 67 Malibu 45Kmiles
She factory ordered it new in 66 as a wedding present from her father. Absolutely the most beautiful original pristine car Ive ever owned I was loaded like ive never seen another this day with the options mine had. 327 powerglide with buckets no console (A LADY ORDERED IT!)
Factory AC , 8 track 5 speakers ( one on the dash ), walnut wheel rare never seen another, speed warning indicator , cruise control , tilt wheel, Rally wheels , remote mirror , power windows , bumper guards cant remember any more wish she'd ticked off 3 speed auto on the console but ........ i paid $1300 for it . Ended up owning three more Malibus after that.
I like seeing the atl cars just because I'm from Atlanta. I remember the factory it's a shame it's gone now..
silversolb18 General Motors and Ford had plants in Atlanta Georgia. The three Chevrolet's look like the ones on Bewitched.
Never forget the time I was 19 and looking for a car of any kind to drive and ran across a aqaintence I hadn't seen in several years, he told me he had a old Ford that had been in his garage for about. 7 years. His parents hAd gave it to him when he graduated college but it was used & needed work& he didn't like it. He also told me there was at least one more in there but it was a chevyin the same kind of shape.,. needless to say he was driving a new Mercedes at the time and he had inherited the farm & had no brothers or sisters. He set a time to meet & told me that if I was interested in them I could have them both for 1000$. I was expecting at best a couple of rust buckets that wouldn't be worth there money inn.scrap!! BROTHER WAS I SUPRISED!!!!!sitting before me was 1976 original cobra mustang, high performance 302( they didn't call them 5.0 back the ) blue & white leather interior, original rims& the numbers matched!!!..and if that wasn't good enough! Are you ready for this? I had only seen one I. My life and it had been so modified it looked nothing like the original!!!!..I literally peeed my pants a little...lol.. sitting there was a 1969 El Camino SS factory bored from a 396 to a402 original hurstrock crusher 4 speed swivel bucket seats!! And EVERY number matched, engine block,frame, everything & even had the original sport two peice rims & caps....I thought I was in the twilight zone..LMAO...I bought both autos needless to say I kept & drove the Cobra for about 6 years & sold it for 12,000$ & had to do very little to it, serviced the tranny, filters, fluid, shift kit & such believe it or not the engine never burned more than a 16 th of a quart of oil between changes. My biggest mistake was not knowing how rare the El Camino SS with the factory 402 was!! I was still pretty young (23) two weeks after purchasing it had a old timer, or was to me at the time ( approximately 45-50 ) make me a offer that made me think he was insane, but you need to understand both of these cars were in at least 85-90% condition with all matching numbers.& Years later I found out what the SS was truely worth!!! So toend this tragic tale, I guess the 80,000$ I got for the El Camino S S 396 factory bored to a 402 with Hurst 4 speed wasn't a bad deal. Being this is the year 2018 & this all happened in the year 1982But DAMN I wish I still had the SS! Ànd the original Cobra mustang as far as that goes!! Well that's my heartbreaking story!...good luck and good hunting Hot Rodders.,J.D.W.
My dad probably helped build those 67's depending on which shift built them.
My biggest memory of the Atlanta assembly plant (Lakewood) was the Christmas open house we attended in 1989. They were building a batch of Missouri state patrol cars at the time. A long line of brown 9C1 cars, and it was a beautiful sight!
Very nice collection, thanks for sharing with us Patrick.
GREAT find , Patrick !
I like the 70's performance goodies on the 69. I come from that era and remember everyone running Moroso covers, now they hang on the walls of garages.
got a set on my t/a,still carbed old gen sbc power baby!!!
Thank you Patrick for sharing the cars with us. I especially enjoyed the two 1967’s. Chevelle Super Sports I really like the maroon car with the rear antenna. How many were made this way. Or do they support a better sound system. Thank you for sharing this video with with us.
Love the way you do your videos. No BS , great work.🇨🇦
Oh my God yes from seeing the chevelles you have come across that 69 is the one I'd luv to have the most .63 thousand is just nice and broke in and I'd luv to have that baby and gold in color just beautiful for sure .
Hey Patrick. Does the 12 stamped in the cowl tag of the gold 67 mean anything? Was the red 67 outside not a ss. Just wondering why you didn't show it. I know some dont care for the 80s Montes but give them a little more time
Future classics especially the aerocoupe.
My neighbor has a 66 396 ss original owner, original dealership papers, matching numbers . I love going for a ride.
What a collection!
never seen a 67 chevelle ss with a power glide before. 69 L78 is amazing.
Yes sir it is awesome!!!
A guy I worked with had one. 396 SS with PG. Even offered it to me back in 92 for 8000. He was the original owner, never winter drove it, and it had one repaint. Shoulda bought it.
I once owned a '67 butternut yellow, black bench seat, 2 speed power glide in 1972. long gone to scrap...............
Worked on a 'vette 327 300 horse with powerglide, I believe it was a '66? Only auto you could get as 350 turbos not out yet. Was a bride's new car, couldn't drive a stick!lol
Had a 65 SS with 327 , 375 horse and rock krusher 4 speed, even had leather trim along the OUTSIDE of the trunk lid!!!!I was the one who was talking about the 1969 El Camino SS with the 4 speed & factory bored 402! Like I said in my first account I've owned more old rods any man has a right to, don't get me wrong, I'm in no way 4ich, or even well off.. I've just been lucky! My first car I had when I was 14 ( I lived in the kentucky hills ) I had a cousin (& a red head at that) bought me a car as a joke, now the joke was supposed to be because it was a baby shit yellow Impala! But the joke was on her, the ugly yellow Impala had a 327, 375 horse with a 2 speed poewer glide,two door! I have many, many more car stories to tell but I'm sure your tired of hearing them & probably bored also! Maybe I'll tell another one in a week or so, just keep the great car stories coming!!
Had a 69 trans am,it had a 428, it would have given that L78 a good run. Thank you, great vid.
Thanks for the video's of these lost giants, great looking cars. Keep'em coming. 🇺🇸 MERICA
Im not so easily swayed Patrick Glen Nichols but, that doggone '67 SS makes my knees weak.
Very cool trio of Chevelles. I laugh when I think about all the anodized moroso valve covers and air cleaners I tossed out. Back in the 80s gold, blue and red anodized parts that I pulled from cars I bought filled my shop and I couldn't give the stuff away .... same with E-T 5 slot mag wheels. LOL.
Who knew ?
Another great find. Awesome Chevelles. I enjoy all of your barn find videos. Are any of the cars you find ever offered for sale or would they listen to offers?
Gorgeous cars
"Hey man you got a joint". Dude your voice would be perfect😂
🙊(lol) True
2funny, but True (aha ha)
Haha well I’ve never cared for joints. But that’s just me.
Matthew McConaughey..dazed and confused.
It would be great to own the maroon ‘67. Drive it as is!!!! Thank you Patrick for showing there very rare Chevelles with us!
I'd very happily take that 69 Chevelle with the 410 gears in a 4-speed Rock Crusher oh my God what a gem and this from a mustang guy
Will you please avoid saying Gods name vain please. Thank you very much.
@@johnnybgoodray I didn't know God's name was vain that's a new one to me
@@acts2211 I'm not trying to be smart about it read the 3rd commandment it speaks for itself.
Thanks for your response.
canup he did not use gods name in vain! oh my god is not saying god dammit. my response to you is pull your head out of your ass dumb fuck !
@@johnnybgoodray is correct. OMG is way overused and who wants to hear it?!
nice group of cars
i love all video thanks you!!!!😊
Id just have to move my recliner chair out there so i could sit back and admire them for days and days unending.
3 beautiful chevys. chevelles are my all time favorite.had 4 when i was younger
Had a Chevelle traded for a Mopar
excellent stuff thank you
I just want to know who the 108 clowns are that don’t like this video, even if you’re not a Chevy lover this is still great stuff. What I don’t understand is why he doesn’t start them , he has permission to be there he should be able to run ‘e-mail for a little while ❗️🇺🇸
Nice collection of classics ,nice Nicholas.
Just gave a thumbs up, WTF is with the thumbs down guys. It’s not like you’re paying. Keep the coming Patrick 🇨🇦
You guys are so lucky!!!
I had a 65 Malibu w/327,375 horse, rock crusher 4 speed..loved it!!.. speaking of power glides had a 65 Nova wagon w/283, 2 speed power glide... wish I still had either one..lol
What about the red 67? That is definitely inspiring garage envy.
Great video Patrick you really no how to read cowl tags. I wish I knew how you find these old chevy. I worked at Flint assembly for 30 years did everything from painter to body drop. Im restoring a 65 nova ss I bought in 75 from the original owner and a pro street 57 nomad. Keep the videos coming!
1968 Mopar parking light or side marker light on a maroon 67 Super Sport, A lot of people used those on everything.
My 1967 Malibu was built at the Atlanta assembly plant. It is Gold with gold cloth and vinyl bench seat interior. 283 with a power glide. It is a fun car to drive.
I almost bought a 1969 SS 396 350hp bright blue metallic with the same white stripe down the side. The salesman told me that it was a three speed manual transmission and would be cheaper on insurance, I don’t know if that was true but for some reason I remember it.
Awesome video !
3 beautiful cars
Awesome 👍 nice sleds
Wow! Big block with 2 speed glide, that's gotta have some scoot to it. 💪
not
The ol slip n slide powerglide !
Bill Davies wrong
@@dalehedges4328 Do you think mid 15 second quarter mile times are fast ?
Bill Davies do you like ballsack? They are quick for what they are
You do a great job! Bet you enjoy it!
Thank you sir. Yes I have a lot of fun.
I like all of them!!!!!!!!!!
I bet your friend was plenty excited when you found these beautiful cars hidden away in his garage.🤨
Unfortunately he was found dead
My 67 325hp 4 gear no instruments drum brake had the strip as it was standard equipment on the 138 SS and was removed by many owners on Day 2 or by the dealer.
Anybody that's being honest will tell you Kansas SS Chevelles had the L on the trim tag. I've had 3 70 Chevelles from Kansas all had the L. Only reason why there's a few people that don't believe all the ss Kansas cars had the L is because of a few early built Ls6 Chevelles didn't have the L. Clearly there was a rush to squeeze out a couple early Ls6 Chevelle so they took the next body of the line. Therefore building a couple ls6 Chevelles without the L.... Great Video as always Patrick👍
Very nice chevelles!!! Great job
Deduct a lot for added side lights from a Chrysler product!
That there’s a RV Clark
Awesome 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
How are you finding these cars wow blues me away still looking for my 1970. So cool.thank you for vidéo.still got hope.
On the trim tag of the gold '67, there's a "12" stamped lightly on it as well. Any ideas??
Nice collection....love the 69 L78
Know of a local guy that found an L78 4spd Frost green car,heck of a score
Thanks alot for almost giving me a heart attack and cold sweats! Im going to be dreaming about bakeing off the rear tires for weeks
Man the g body ss looks super clean
I wonder how many big block power glides were built? Never seen one. I really like that 69!
5T_Outdoors I had a 66 ss396, power glide, 360 horse{ Holley carb} and knee knocker fact tach. Car was 3 years old when I purchased it.
@@jerrycain6404 I know you could order them back in the day with any engine and about any tranny they offered. Just figured that there weren't many big block power glides. Maybe Patrick can tell us.
Ive never heard of an SS396 Powerglide car. I always thought they came with a TH 400 or 4 speed stick.
Contrary to most people's beliefs.. Most SS Chevelles come low horse automatic cars with no gauges and air conditioning. Most all your Special High Performance or Square Port solid lifter cars are very limited production units. As much as everyone loves them there not family cars. How many 18 year old kids could have bought that 69 Brand New? On the other hand most SHP cars were 4 speed. Lol
@@josephkutta599 350s and 400s not out until 67. You are correct, alternatives were 3 and 4 speeds
Sorry I have to say I was a little disappointed when he opened the door as the G Body tail lights stared right at me. I was expecting to see a pair of 1970 SS 454 Monte Carlo's. But the G Body's were nice looking none the less. Nice Collection the 67's were my fav.
The Burgandy 67 apparently had a owner who was afraid of being side swiped.. "Marker Lights" It was the 1968 Model Year Gov't mandated For all Manufactures selling autos in the US to equip their vehicle with. Same with the 3 point safety belt system. Which was invented by a Volvo Engineers & debuted in 1959. Useless knowledge is just Awesome. LMAO
Yeah, me too. I was hoping to see a 1970 SS 454 Monte Carlo like I used to own. I had a beautiful dark blue one.
Right dudes! I had a 70 SS Green, hit by drunk lady in Olds 442 with no insurance just after putting the motor in HS autoshop and converting to HEO ignition. I got Musclecar show quick peek at one just like it in one clip...
THRASH METAL & FUN RIFFS that really sucks.
Awesome vehicles, and well kept!
My all time favorite!
pgn, a great video!! Thanks!!!
Totally awesome. Rare as hell.
I like all the cars but that 69 is my favorite great video thanks
Car heaven 🤗💪💪💪
That's exactly how I remember the gold color. This one must not have seen ANY UV.
I really like and fully appreciate that u kno what all the numbers/letters on the cowl tag mean. It's very informative.
67 was a great year for GM's chevy division i have a 67 impala funny cus my friend broke my radiator guard off last summer leaning on it!
Great channel, hope you can answer a question. I have a ‘67 SS396 Chevelle with redline tires, reproduction Coker tires. I was told that the spare, to be O.E correct should have the redline reversed on rim so if used blackwall would show. Have you heard this, if so why? Thank you
I have always loved the power glides awesome
Now Patrick, that was a good amount of fish to fry
Pat , you could voice over for Matthew Mcconaughey .
Beautiful !
Hello Patrick,
My name is Jeremy Newhart. First off I’ve gotta give credit where credit is due, I’ve learned so much about big block Chevys since watching your videos. I wish I knew what you’ve forgot about big blocks over the years. When you mention a specific part number like 827DV (non converted Yenko Nova video) then 824DV (Green Yenko Indianapolis, IN video) high performance water pump pulley
are they different numbers due to two different engine sizes? Do the reproduction parts carry the same part number as the original part number?
Thanks, Jeremy
Love all three of them! I just don't understand why they are just sitting cramped up in a little garage doing absolutely nothing....❓ I'm in awe and speechless. Ugh, rich ppl make me sick!
Awesome
My dad had a 69 the same color with a black vinyl top
