On "My Car Story" we're in Woodstock IL at Schwartz Performance Inc. Headquarters on 12-2-16.
We're looking at a Custom 1970 Chevrolet Chevy Chevelle SS in Black paint with Pearl White Stripes, a White Convertible Top, and it has a Corvette LS3 engine under the hood.
The car's being shared by Jeff Schwartz. He’s the Owner of Schwartz Performance Inc. who is in charge of the Build Team of this Custom Chevelle. Jeff specializes in car frames that are lighter and much sturdier then the original car frame to handle the much increased horsepower of the engine his Team adds to the car. Also the car has disc brakes and improved steering so it handles and stops better too.
If you’re looking for a frame and built for your Hot Rod & Muscle Car contact Schwartz Performance Inc. They are located at 115 Rail Drive, Woodstock, IL 60098.
Or go to the website at www.schwartzperformance.com or call 1-815-206-2230

Have an original 70 SS convertible L34 in my garage sleeping for the winter. Cranberry red with white stripes with build sheet. Great cars.

@@loucostabile you're welcome Lou, excellent content I wish it was my car he was working on but nothing wrong with dreaming LOL

[@Chuckles9191991]

“We build happiness here” Now there’s a slogan! Boy Lou if I could only afford this mans services I would love to see what he could do with my 67 GTO. Got a 34 second video with engine sound on my page. My car is in great shape, but to restomod like this would take it to another level.

[@loucostabile]

Sounds like a great car, and hope you can bring yours to Jeff's place soon :-)

[@edb.3313]

Great car...love his work Lou!!

[@loucostabile]

[@thomasowens6041]

Very Well Done Love the 70 SS to begin with. This may be the best I've ever seen.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Thomas Owens, High praise :-) Hope you see many more cars on this KZbin Channel you'll enjoy, like this 1970 Chevelle SS LS6 I recently uploaded, Lou kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYHTmIdrbpdjmrM

[@paulfrankelphd]

May the Schwartz be with you!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Paul Frankel, Thank you :-) Hope you see many more cars on the Channel you'll enjoy, Lou

[@clyde7059]

So, as an LS3, is that a 349 CID ending? That is truly a beautiful car. If it were me, I'd go for buckets with higher backs and head-rests, and maybe some genuine, high-gloss wood trim, but, other than that, it's very nice. I love the sound of that exhaust note. WOW, that sounds great! :)

[@clyde7059]

That first question shouldn't end with "ending", but with "engine". My brain thought "engine" and my fingers type "ending". I'm not quite sure what happened in the translation, there. Anyway, it was my understanding that the Corvette's "350" engine, for a while, was really a "349". I guess they got slightly better compression in slightly smaller cylinders.

[@loucostabile]

Hi clyde7059, Not sure on the CI's. Agreed, sounds great :-) Lou

[@clyde7059]

Beautiful car! Another great sounding car. Thanks, again, Lou! :)

[@loucostabile]

Glad to read you enjoy the looks and sound of this car :-) You're welcome.

[@josephromano6825]

Sharp car! High praise Lou!

[@loucostabile]

Beautiful car. Would love to have him build me one someday.

[@loucostabile]

Glad you like this one Jim!

[@fleetwin1]

1970 chevelle convertible, my dream car for sure! Would love to know just what a Schwartz frame is....Original frame toughened up, or a complete frame replacement...Wondering just how much such an amazing car like this costs, not that I could ever afford it!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Kramden, In the text of the video I have "Or go to the website at www.schwartzperformance.com" and you can take a look at the frames for different vehicles. Enjoy, Lou

[@davidaaa6427]

Hi Lou. Now that is badazz!

[@loucostabile]

The old look, the modern go, the best of each era :-)

[@JG-ef2cn]

Cragar SS look better on it...I had one in high school. Dark fathom blue with white skunk stripes is still the best color combo on this car....especially with ivory white interior. Give me the SS454 anyday. This car needs the wheel well chrome molding to look better also. If you find one please let me know been searching for one. Thanks for sharing.

What size are those rims? Looks like 18 in the back? What size are the fronts? I have a 72 that has 17's and I keep thinking about going just a hair taller. Great looking car!!

Ill take the original LS6 please.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Dave Cline, Original is always nice. Lou

[@adriantomlin2902]

I agree. So many of the factory engines are long gone. It's is really cool to see a factory motor under the hood!! But that is me!

[@bryanzepeda2806]

The daughters or grand daughters camaro is nice.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Bryan, Thank you for viewing and sharing your thoughts. Hope you see many more cars on this KZbin Channel you enjoy. Lou

[@loucostabile]

Not that I'm aware of, however you can call them and the info will be in the text of this video.

[@stevefoster3160]

Another great video, Lou! Give me anything from ‘68-‘72! When cars were cars! And fellas...if you want to be classic again-and say it like a man-then it’s CMX! www.classicmanexpressions.com

[@romans828.]

Nice car Lou. But for me anything other than stock is an abomination. Swaping out a legend for a dime a dozen modern engine. Well I'll be nice.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Bob Bob, I like original too, however some cars get to far gone with rust, and when done properly, they can be very cool. Lou
