I'm confused fellers...you think this car has 190k on it?? Ain't no way if that can be right...is it. Let us know,unbelievable find! I'm Mopar to the core,but a 70 Chevelle has got to be the best Chevy made in my opinion! Love your channel...hope you guys stay the as you are and don't get the big head like some of the others!! Great channel!

[@rickbareman2263]

Thank you for taking the time to give respect to the man that owned this car and his brother, finding a car in this condition that is over fifty years old is almost unbelievable but treating people the way you do, with respect and being honest, it does pay off in the end,awesome job on the video ,can't wait to see whats next. 👍👍👍

[@billdedrick1914]

I owned one of these back in 1973-1976. Dark blue with white stripes (paid $2100 used for it) 4 speed M22 Rock Crusher, console, bucket seats, 3.36:1 12 bolt posi, had Appliance 2" primary tube headers, 2-1/2 full exhaust system, high rise intake from a 427 L72, AC A212CW hi-flow 14"x3" air filter, modified 850 cfm double pumper, 90/10 front shocks etc...previous owner purchased it new and modified it for drag racing mostly on the street..very strong car....Took it to Detroit drag way in 1973 and it run 12.70's-12.80's on the stock size bias ply tires...very hard to get it moving without frying the tires in every gear. It would spin the tires at the 2--3 gear change at 80 mph and lay down 60-80' of rubber...I am sure with slicks, open headers, and a 4:10 gear that car would have run high 11's...I broke the M22 input shaft twice on the street drag racing. I had the old "Ramcharger's" shop in Taylor Michigan install a Schafer clutch disc and pressure plate in it in August 1973.

I thought LS 6s was 750 holleys. Its been 20yrs sinxe i restored chevelles but i thought those was on steel intaked LS 5s. But my memory is shot aint touchef one other thsn what we have in years. My dad got cancer so we sold all our extra parts. Cowl hoods cowl ind breathers 12 bolts m21 and m22 4 speeds. Interior parts tons of gauge clusters. Some LS 6 ones with 6500 redline. We eveb had a fathom blue 70ss with a 396/375 h 4 speed and from our research they made less of those than LS 6s but i could be wrong but theyre rare as hens teeth too ya know. We do have 2 extra parts left after sellin everything. A basically new gas tank and straps and an original SS rear sway bar still bolted on the bottom boxed in bars. Only ss had rhe boxed in bottom bars. We have a shit ton of 69/70 ss wheels for sale too. They need redoin but we have about 30 of em and a few 71/2 ss wheels

First time viewing your channel. Awesome story and video. I own a 1970 Chevelle SS Forest Green w/white stripes black bench seat interior. Also L34 350hp 396 4spd. I have the birth certificate from the Kansas factory. I wish l had the pro-tecto plate and original window sticker but you can't have everything. I recently acquired an original license plate frame from the original dealer who sold the car. I 'm not just a Chevy or GM guy l love all makes and models. Any vehicle that has stood up to the test of time is worth admiring. I 'm glad that Chevelle will make a great addition to your collection. Hope you can add many more no matter what brand they are.

Nice purchase looks like ya all got yourself a beautiful car! Love the colour as well that dark green with white stripes must have been a real head turner even back in 1970 when a lot of beautiful muscle cars were rolling out of factories. LOL, thought once you had found the build sheet the ole fella may have tried to squeeze ya for an extra buck or two as all risk ( even though it was pretty minimal by then) was removed. But he seems like a pretty honourable man full of integrity. To some degree he was truly more concerned about WHO was buying it rather then how much they were getting? 😊 great episode guys ....

Super find. Sure it could be 90 something thousand original miles. I bought my 69 AMX in 1986 from the original owner with 49k miles. It was always a second or third car for me but when it sold on BaT in 2018 it had less than 70k original miles.

Its actually for sale. We restored it with all OG genuine parts sourced from junkyards . Hinshaws chevelle parts and ausleys. Back then in the 90s when we did it thsts onky place to get things. We had 7 4 speed 68-72 consoles and traded himshaw 5 of em for 2 SS dashes with gauges and 5500 redline tach since ours is a plan jane as 71 with a 350 which sux. We traded a silver 71 ss ls5 for rhis stupid small block convertible. Idk what he was thinking he js always wanted a convertible

The main caps are the same width and will interchange and all you have to do is drill and tap the outer two bolt holes to make it a four bolt. You put the donor four bolt main caps in a milling machine and trim the mating surface, then install the caps and line hone the main bearing bore back to standard size.

Cars from the 50s,60s,70s, were usually fairly wore out when they got over 100,000 miles because the oil, paint, other materials weren't as good as we have now. I would think that the cars miles are less than 100,000.

[@1911MikeinOregon]

I don't think there's any way that car has 199,000 miles on it, but I could be wrong... Something was done to the engine though because when they were loading the car you could see the oil pan and balancer, and it looked like it had recently been painted Chevy orange. It would be nice to know if the engine had been rebuilt recently, or if the owner was just cleaning and detailing the engine. The gentleman said that he took it to a mechanic to get the car running, and he mentioned that he adjusted the shifter linkage. Seems a little strange though because I noticed when he was driving it that he wasn't able to get it to go into third gear from second gear... I was really surprised to see that it still has the correct cowl induction air filter housing and that it doesn't have headers, because it has a big aftermarket tach under the dash, and a shift light mounted to the steering column. It's really odd that they put the build sheet partially under the side frame of the seat and put two hog rings through it. They were typically just partially stuck underneath the wire.
