ABANDONED 1970 Chevelle - I Found My DREAM CAR -

Well today started off a little different than I expected. I woke up and checked out Market Place first this at 6:45 am. Well the rest of the story is pretty self explanatory.... See Chevelle, message on Chevelle, pay for Chevelle, take Chevelle home.
Happy happy guy. It's rough but should be a pretty awesome car.

David Wooderson is back! These '70 Chevelles have really turned into unicorns! I am a tri-five guy but, I have been waiting for you to get a '70 again after letting the green Malibu get away. Can't wait for this one!

[@gerry-p9x]

How many we junk in late 70s due to fuel. Crisis😮😮😮

[@chiphazzard8173]

It's the 67 chevelle for me but they're all beautiful. Good buy DD

[@bigbow62]

Now Chevelles... its the 1966 Chevelle for me 🙂👍 Had 2 back in the day... a Malibu and SS Give me mid year (66' - 67') Chevelles everytime, I'll take the coke body style over the 70 slab sided styling. That 70' Chevelle will make a fantastic project car.... Can't wait to see that wicked machine evolve. Thank you Dani & Dan and Mur for entertaining videos ✌️🙂

Hey Dan, you just can`t beat a 1970 Chevelle !!! Nice Find Danni and Dan !!! Rave- On !!!

[@jamesf4405]

Dan, Daniel my brother! Chevelle!! Now you're talking! My very first car was a 1968 Chevelle, bought it in 1977 for $800. No, it wasn't a SS.. basic Malibu with a 307. So, let's get crackin'! This is what a speed shop is all about! Congrats on the buy! Thank you Ms. Dani 😊 Signed - Your friend, the Cancer guy! (4 radiation treatments left! I'm kickin' it!)

[@richardmiller5238]

My first chevelle was a '67 Malibu 283, manual, bought in '72. Ended up with 2 eventually, '67 SS 396 Chevelle, give anything to still have them.

[@derek2380]

My first car was a ‘68 Chevelle too. Bought it 1995 when I was 15. Was a 30 year old car my senior year when I graduated

[@jamesf4405]

@richardmiller5238 I had mine for 2 years. Rust had got it before I did and that's what did it in. Had a lot of fun in that car!

Thanks Dani for keeping Dan honest about were he makes his decisions. And a good decision it is!

[@waynebernier1061]

TOTALLY AGREE………70 Chevelle is THE right one!!! Good luck with it, can’t wait to see you working on it. 👍👍

[@Haida_Art_Jordon_S]

Dan and Dani, I’m so excited for this Chevelle build!!! Can wait for this project to start not only is this an excellent car but it’s one you are very passionate about which is so awesome when a car builder can work on his dream and I tell ya the magic filters through on camera…..did I tell you how excited I am…. Let’s go!!!

[@TheBlake27]

The "should get yourself a trailer" commentators are living rent-free in your head Dan lol let them go! Looking forward to watching this one, glad to see you saving these!

[@jeffmoran5973]

My friend Tyler had one just like yours, it was in bad shape but when he was done, wow painted white with the black stripes down the hood top and trunk, 396, automatic 12 bolt rear end, just a beautiful car when he was done.

[@larrykittell726]

The 1970 Chevelle is also my favorite year. My neighbors bought a silver one new. It is one of the best midsized cars GM built. I can't wait to see how this one turns out.

[@1bcasso]

Badass 1970 the best year! I have one myself. My dream car I fell in love with when I was 15yr old. Finally Bought one a few years back at the age of 34yr. I'm going to follow your build!

[@C1_Rocksta]

Hey Dan and Danni, i am really looking forward to this build as i love a good Chevelle, with your thoughts on showing costs, how about a running total on the videos, showing what was bought and costing, maybe shown at the end of each episode, love to you both and the pooches

[@travisjohnson5747]

Sweet. Can't wait to see how it progresses. I've had 69, 70, 71 & currently a 72 Chevelle. My 70 I paid $250 for and it ran/drove. Of course this was 30 years ago but even still at that time it was a steal. 350/350 2 Dr and it came with extra parts.

[@vanstechcorral]

I had 3 57 Chevies, 210 and Bel Air, that I engine swapped in 1972. Then a 1960 Impala convertible with floor shifter and a 348. Gas station attendant left the radiator cap off the last 57 and the engine seized 100 miles from home. After hitch hiking back, I found a 68 SS396 that needed an engine, for $400, and got a junkyard 396 for another $400. Over 50 years later, I still have it. Plus there's a 71 in the driveway now as well. Both are running.

[@edpoell2876]

Thank goodness it's a car you have had experience driving before, my it was a shame when you found you had personal oversize issues with the dream hot rod 67 satin black Camaro. You say it takes a year to make a satin black with white stripes hot rod 70 Chevelle with a 71 rear bumper the way you want but watching you clean and asses with so much enthusiasm I'll bet you're burning tires before the summer ends. Admit it Dan you're smitten, calling this abandoned project mint is more a testament to your skills rather than the car's condition. I can dig the headspace as you calculate car parts and work needed while you sift this build through into available time but excitement seemingly speeds up the process almost exponentially.

[@codyvannote8466]

1970 chevelle has been my dream car since before I could drive. Looking forward to seeing you get this thing together and on the road!

[@peglegtoo]

love the chevelle. I am so glad you got this. I am partial to the 68's but this one is great too. I think your idea of the round tail lights is right on. really looking forward to this build.

[@ReimundCabel-c8c]

It’s hot rodding earnestness,Dan.Nothing wrong in whatever direction you’re going.

[@buckeyejim2989]

🗿💨I love the sport wheels these came with, 15x7 with thin trim ring. Chevelle shares instrument cluster wit 70-72 Monte's. 70chevelle is my fav of the 70-72. Thanks for sharing Dan👍👍

[@strangealliancem.v.c1449]

The movie was called faster, and that is a bucket list car of mine. Love what you do. Can't wait to see what it turns out like.

Hey Dan&Dannie Looks like a fun project coming up. Take care of One Another 😊

[@74hotrodmalibu]

Very cool Dan And Dani Glad ya got a car you truly love and gonna build up cant wait to see plans

[@kyledaytona]

68-70 had 4 headlights, but 70 is the only year with that distinct front end. Nice car!

[@billyduffany3387]

I had a feeling it was a Chevelle. You were talking about Chevelles and how much you love them in another video. I had a 72 that someone started turning it into a SS clone.

[@torekristoffersen176]

‘70 Chevelle…. 👑 of muscle cars!! Nice Dan!

[@chevelleguy8059]

This will be my FAVORITE build on the channel by FAR! I have a 71 chevelle project that DESPERATELY needs my attention.

Not gonna get done itself

[@SaneCayne]

So you're going to sit and watch Dan build his??? 🤷‍♂

[@gerry-p9x]

Add a SS dash from a Monte Carlo. Bolts right. In

[@gerry-p9x]

Add ps. Pbrakes discs. 5...speed😮😮

[@sandrail2011]

Like your thought process. 70 front end with the 71/72 rear bumper! Had the same round tail lights as the 2nd generation Camaro. Congrats this will be a nice build to watch

[@jeffturner9436]

Rock on brother! I bought a 1970 Chevelle SS that was blue with white stripes in 78 also for 800 bucks. the previous owner had taken out the 396 and the Muncie and replaced it with a 300 horse 350 and a Saginaw 3 speed. within in 2 weeks it had a Muncie Rock Crusher, Spider intake, a cam and a Holly 750 double Pumper. Drove the wheels are for 3 years. until a drunk hit it parked on the street at 75 in a 25 mile an hour Zone. Mourn than that car to this very day. Can't wait to see it come together. But please reconsider the back bumper, those 70 square tal lights are iconic.

[@JoelJolley-ul8hl]

Keep the bumper!

[@mikepoint4717]

Long term project, love it , chevelle love it , this must be a big block manual !!! . I can’t wait Dan for the uploads . Cheers 🇨🇦

[@timmaxwell5008]

Oh dan-o dan-o dan-o....64,65,66,67,68,69,and 70 all had 4 head lights. 70 being the last year of four headlights. Anywho looking forward to this one for sure. I like what your thinking so far.

[@DDSpeedShop]

In this body style

[@daviduglem3213]

Cheer up Dan! You can always go into vehicle repossessions if KZbin doesn't work out! LOL. Enjoy your stuff man.

[@Memry-dq7ug]

Great car! This will be a great build you can get everything for those things, they even sell complete bodies. I’d like to see you do a nice resto on this one. If it’s a keeper I’d say to take it a step up from the Nova. I also think a nice big block is the way to go with a Chevelle.

[@TheCardCommando]

I'm a big chevelle guy so I'm super excited about this. My 70 Chevelle is at the bodyshop for paint right now. Mine started life as a 300 as well but I can tell you that based on the trim and the interior that is likely a Malibu. Trim on fenders and doors was a malibu option. 300's didn't have the chevy badge on the grille. Piping on the door panels was malibu as well. Unless a lot of parts were swapped at one point that was a malibu. 300 deluxe was actually pretty rare in 1970 so a lot of people weren't aware it existed. 300 deluxe had vinyl floors instead of carpet as well. Great car regardless and you got it at a great price considering what is there.

[@TheCardCommando]

Also 300 deluxe had the same door panels as the heavy chevy. No piping and a woodgrain insert along the top.

[@TheCardCommando]

Also the malibu trim on the doors and fenders have value if you decide not to keep it. No one reproduces it so if a guy wants it to restore a malibu instead of SS cloning it they will pay up.

[@henzig8774]

Always check Ecklers for Floor pans and open box sheet metal stuff for A and G body cars. I just got an *open box* full floor pan for my 78 el camino for $183.10 shipped to my door on fathers day weekend.

Great show keep up the amazing work be safe my friends God bless all kool stuff and ride Dan go work of art rolling and driving

[@LoveForDays104]

It sure can be hard to get ride of some treasures, but it will surely work out well for you down the road. 🥰

[@DavidTerrill-tc2js]

I like it , like the color you picked for it . Definitely change the rear bumper to a 72 , 73 . Big block 454 , auto or 4 speed. 355 rear gear . Make it a go fast !

[@AaronBrevik]

Fantastic video Dan and Dani. This will be a cool build.

[@kodiak2005]

YES, YES, YES!!!! Nice purchase Danni...

[@josephcetar9202]

Looking forward to this one! My parents had a Chevelle Malibu and a Barracuda when I was a kid, to bad they didn’t keep either one for me.

[@corporalclegg914]

DDSS - Great Score. I look forward to seeing this happen. 24:14 the deck lid’s OG color is my fav of ‘Velle colors. your boy Derek VGG will be jazzed you found her. many badge their Chevelle rebuilds as Super Sport cars, but the *Malibu* trim is Classy AF & it makes me happy every time I see it on a ride. Congrats, DDSS. Bravo!

[@Bama_Vintage_Iron]

The Cragar like 14" wheels you took off are actually Keystone Raiders. Fyi ,I love the Daisies and have had several 70 Chevelles over the years and I always swaped out the rear bumper for a 71 72 and set it up for 4 real tail lights and used 65 ford mustang back up lamps mounted to lower rear valance panel.

[@emptypocketsgaragejames6393]

I had a 70 chevelle back in the day about 35 years ago and it was about the same shape as yours is now so I think you got a great deal. Mine was green with white interior and white vinyl top. Fun car to drive.

[@CaseyMcGowan-f2i]

Dan congrats on your 70 chevelle find. Can you explain how those wireless clamp on taillights work what signals the brake lights? Where to buy them? Discuss them on your podcast. Thanks

[@donsaunders5348]

The wheels you were talking about at the 17 minute mark are the "Heavy Chevy" spoke wheels also found on 80 and 81 z-28s....

[@mzaccagnini7179]

Awesome can't wait to see that 70 Chevelle come back. We also have a 70 Chevelle 4dr with a 307 auto which was my grandfathers car he bought new. We are contimplating restoring it. It runs and drives. But needs alot of work.

[@robertpeeler4359]

Hey Dan if I remember rite Iron Trap garage bought a lot of Chevelle sheet metal they deal mainly in old ford parts

[@slapnut8086]

I have a 1971 chevelle with a 70 front end. I love the 4 tail lamps on the 71-72 and the 4 head lamps on the 70

[@thehoule70]

Nice car Dan My first car I ever bought was a dark green 1970 chevelle deluxe 2 door 6 banger 3 speed auto and I bought 15x7 keystone’s from a pawn shop with tires they were the factory white centre and chrome lip paid 250 for the car bought it in the dead of winter of 1985 from a used car lot -40 started right up sold it years later (a family )

[@s10-Mike]

Yes Dan. The movie was called faster. That car was badass 👌 like when he wips it around after the shootout in the old weird guys apparment. You got a smoking deal.on that one

[@keithroute8906]

Nice buy Dan. Missing a lot of parts, definitely rough but nothing you can’t handle with your skills. Decent price for one that solid and a great car to build. It is one of those makes and models you can’t go wrong with if you keep it or sell it down the road. I remember them new when they came out in the new car lots when I was younger. Pretty sure they got in something like 15 of them in a bunch of different trim codes, they all sold fast. It seemed like those days of cool cars coming out every year would last forever, nobody knew what was going to happen in just the next few years.

[@CountyGarage207]

Very excited to see this build, I'm a 3rd gen Nova guy at heart, but I drove a Chevelle a few summers ago.. and I've wanted one ever since.

[@AdventuringwiththeS.G.O.C.C]

Pro touring rig with a Big Block (like rebuild the motor from the Nova) and an auto trans, narrowed 9" and bucket seats. Huge fun. BTW the "Daisy" mags improved the look 1000% Also really like your idea of swapping the rear bumper for the better looking lights. The Rock movie is called "Driven"....and it was a bad a$$ car.

[@brucecoleman6014]

Looks like as long as you are working on cars your happy 😃

[@25vrd48]

My buddies mom bought a new 70 300 2-dr post Chevelle , blue with white top . 307 automatic , no a/c , power brakes or steering but it did have a radio . About as plain as you can get , the price was extremely cheap for a new car . I loved that car , imagined it with a killer big block . She drove it for years and sold it when the engine quit tunning . Hell no I didn't buy it as it was gone within a couple of days and she sold it really cheap . Damn my luck .

[@oriewall]

Formula is easy, 454, 4 sp, 12 bolt posi, Red with black strips on cowl induction hood. Nuff said. Thats a big boy car!

[@juliamiller2299]

Chevelles look best with a black interior. Just spray dye the interior black and replace the door cards and headliner. Edit, you know its like Costco, you can't get out for under $200, and the bills will add up. You need an engine, transmission, exhaust, drive shaft, rear end, shifter, interior seats, brakes, steering, suspension and body parts like a windshield. and a 71 bumper with tailights. Good luck on keeping it at under $15,000. At this point it's a just a rusty shell, but it's in better shape than some of your cars.

[@mintmunky]

My first car! My dad needed money when I joined the service and sold it…. I miss it badly!

[@twodogsyyc6729]

Use cardboard drink trays instead of mosquito coils. Works great and free. Just light a corner and blow it out and it will smoke for hours. Man I luv these cars and I even agree with your choice of year

[@joefergerson5243]

Now this exiting, back in 77, one of our hot rod buddies had a 70 402 auto / green / white stripe. Lots fun back in the day👍🏼👍🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼. I had a 69 C10 with a factory 396🤟🏼

[@ronsherfy6291]

Finally a Chevelle! I am so stoked for you on this one. Looking forward to the build and please big block it with a 12 bolt.

[@GregB2401]

Dan you just glassed over Danni saying Shout out to herself about knowing what a rocker it. Dan pay attention. Talent😂😂😂😂

[@HOTHUDSON54]

During my military time, I sampled several muscle cars. One was a 1970 SS 396 Chevelle. The car was similar to my new GTO convertible which I sold several years before to finance a 1970 Firebird. Then came the SS Chevelle. What a disappointment. My experience with the Chevelle soured me on Chevy from then on. I sold the car to an Australian Exchange officer in Omaha NE. He shipped the car HOME down under. Before selling the car, I found out the car had a factory design failure point. The shift body on the auto transmission would not shift until it warmed up... making the car a POS during Omaha winter. Anticipating you and Danni making this Chevelle a DD SS driver.

[@tonyflorio3269]

You have a hot traditional smallblock and LS in the fleet; this one cries out for a mild 454/4-speed/3:31 gear (so you can drive it wherever you want). The BB may no longer be the cheap way to make max power, but the sound and torque suit the car IMO.

[@keithroute8906]

I don’t have those type of wheels but if the center caps are metal, you can remove the tire and heat the wheel and cap, that will soften the epoxy enough to get them off. I had access to powder coating ovens at the time. I did it on a set of American racing rims someone epoxied some caps that had…off road use only cast in to the backs of them. You never know what some people will do or what you will run in to on an old car. I bought an old Skylark for parts one time. Thought I would snag the windshield for a spare. Someone had epoxied it in and it took days to get it out. Totally was not worth the effort and I would never do it again.

[@Engineering_Improvisation]

I'm nearing the end of my 70 chevelle project and have quite a few spare parts you may need. Also have a few videos on my channel if you need some reference material.

[@fred7854]

Hey Dan, you're talking about rally wheels. I think they look awesome on Chevelle's. There kinda expensive to buy them now if you can find them. I can't believe you keep finding these cars. That must mean there's still hope for me to find one. Seeing by now you sold the 47 Chevy without letting me know what you wanted for it. Love your channel, cars and all your videos. Love Danielle too. Take care and be safe.

A Chevelle..... I've been waiting. I love the mid year 66' - 67' Chevelles. I had two of them back when gas was under a dollar a gallon ( yup 1 dollar ) Could cruise all night for 5 dollars even with my (toilet bowl flush) Holley 850 double pumper ! That 70 will make a sweet project car... take a break from the daisy rims and go old school Cragar Super Tricks. Hey how 'bout a Pro Street build from the 90's .... the look is making a come-back. Thanks for all of the entertaining videos Dani Dan & Mur ✌️🙂

[@Chevl67]

70 Chevelle, great project car and the price was right and it’s in good hands. I like the 71 Chevelle rear bumper idea.

[@bcavmechanic]

Now you are talking. I love Chevelles and a 70’ is the best. GM A bodies are great cars. Now build this at least as nice as the 67’ Build. We will watch every second of it. I am thinking Big Block is way to go. 4 speed for now. Go for a TKX at a later date. A bodies are great drivers and are fantastic for distance driving. Enjoy the build. I know we will. Thanks for the content.
