AMAZING BARN FIND 1970 LS6 CHEVELLE JUST DISCOVERED HIDING SINCE 1979!!!

NOT FOR SALE!!
I traveled to inspect and authenticate this
LS6 Chevelle for my endorsement. It has been in hiding off the road since 1979. Originally built in Kansas City, MO the third week of February 1970 featuring Tuxedo black exterior upper and lower with white stripes, cowl induction, M40 automatic transmission, bucket seats, tach and gauges, and 4.10 positraction rear axle.
If you are interested in my inspection services and possible professional endorsement on your 1970 Chevelle SS please feel free to email me at [e-mail] or message me on Facebook at Patrick Glenn Nichols or text 931-241-9908.

[@SUPERTRUCKER84]

This is really exciting. If indeed this car was built in Feb. of 1966 at the Leeds Assembly plant in KC there is a 50/50 chance I worked on this car. I worked night shift on the body shop assembly line. I would have put the very first bolt or screw of any type into this body. Everything else at this point would have been welded on the body. Part of my job was to hang the door hinges which took 3 brass phillips head screws each. I would leave them hanging loose for the door install later down the line. At this point there is no front clip, deck lid, or bumpers. Just the bare body. Thanks for posting this. It sure brought back some memories for me.

The next part of the owner's life journey will be If-e for a male after 75 unless he is in outstanding health & even then there are no guarantees!!!!! Better start turning wrenches on that LS6 CHEVELLE tomorrow so you can enjoy it NOW!!!!!! BTW, I am also the same age so I know the aches & pains the owner feels!!!!!!! feels!!!!!!!

[@normanjones5167]

Let me say this Glenn you shouldn’t waste your time explaining barnfind,not a barn find. I got out of the service in the early 80’s when the muscle car revival was getting going. Barn find started out as a general term. My friend and I red muscle car revue a monthly publication then,and was pretty factual.. We had gone to high school together and I had a 71 Torino GT 351 4v Cleveland built, he had a 55 bel air built. He liked gm, I liked fords. His dad worked at gm,my dad at ford. We loved high performance cars and street racing. We went to Rockdale High school in Conyers Ga..one of our mutual friends had a cousin come visit at Christmas in a blue,white top,white int ls6 4spd, god it was bad, I mean cobra jet bad. I wish I had the time to list all the cars at school or we found. Older guy had a a12 super bee ,we knew a real one in 1980. They were bought and sold cheap until the late 80s. I enjoy your enthusiasm for it reminds me of how much I thought of the 1963 1/2 r code galaxies- the1967 r-code galaxies. That dual quad 427 ford was a beautiful engine, I had 2 of those. I hunted parts,cars,you name it,sold most of it off, but there are still cars out their.. you prove all the time and to those that put you down, go look and hunt and put the time in by talking to people and you would be surprised at what you could turn up.

[@patrickglennnicholsmusclec1674]

It’s 52 years old not 9. Being in a barn doesn’t stop the exterior from fading and diminishing. The condition of the metal is the true foundation and what’s most important. This isn’t an original paint car. This car has a virtually rust free solid body which makes its desirability ozone level.

Looks like shit. I never understand when people say “they don’t build them like they used to,” and mean anything other than build quality is no longer shit. Look at the interior. Garbage craftsmanship-if you can even call it that.

[@davidkeeton6716]

@@finejustgivemeaname Two things that you need to remember. Technology was not what it is today, which covers, materials, fitment tolerance, fastener technology, tool and tooling technology . And secondly, these were union members building these cars, not muscle car enthusiasts, so their care level and quality of their work supervision lead to the cars and trucks of that era coming off the production line as they did. That's why when restoring one to "concourse ", Pebble Beach winning level, a restorer needs to understand the concept and importance of not over restoring it. Body panels not lining up, interior fitment, paint finishes, decal placement etc etc. We know you and who you are. You are the guy at the car show or cruise in, with the 2 or 3 year old Camaro ZL1 or Challenger with a 392 that has had very little done to it other than you rubbing on it a bit. By the way NO ONE looks at your car. They would rather look a a survivor AMC Gremlin X or a 69 Mustang Mach 1 with a 351W that is a bit of a beater.

That’s why it has survived being off the road. Fellas I got my drivers liscence in 1980, and perforce cars were very reasonable and plentiful. They were just cars then, cheaper than the standard models because of gas mileage and dependability. Most were bought for a teenage boys first car. They were wrecked and ran to death had motors swapped and replaced with non factory correct high performance engines because numbers matching meant nothing back then. Like my first car, a super nice 65000 mile 71 Torino GT white with red interior. 351 Cleveland 4 barrel engine with hooker super cop headers ,fireball crane cam, elderbrock alum intake, Holley 750 dbl pmpr, Mallory dual point dist. Electric fuel pump in trunk to keep pressure from tank to mechanical pump, a C-6 3000 stall converter and 3:91 trac loc 9” rear. That car with all those 2nd day modifications was $1500 dollars. It was super nice original condition. Like finding a car a old lady had then modified. That’s how it was then,only gear heads would buy them. Unless you were born in the 50s or 60s you wouldn’t understand how people viewed them. They were just cars!

When I see a car like this, it makes me think of my friend Robert that had one back in 78-9 in Midfield Alabama. I met him in 85, his description of it matched this car exactly. We worked together until his death in 2021. His description of it never changed and those stories always included that it was stolen in 79. I actually reminisced about that car with his mother at his funeral, and she just chimed right in with my story, saying that he always made such a big deal about it being an LS6, and offered up that it had been stolen and broke his heart. The car never was found. I am NOT saying that this is that car.

[@tomwinkle1597]

Where was it tagged in 79?

[@BruceLee-xn3nn]

I'm in bama too. I know we don't need title to these old cars down here but that's exactly why I WILL NOT pay big money for car with no title. I know of alot of old cars that were stolen back then ,stripped and people are trying to sell them now.

[@sabrom]

No disrespect if it hasnt; been driven since 1979 what makes you think he's gonna restore it in 2022....

[@patrickglennnicholsmusclec1674]

Not sure but I have to respect peoples word.

[@robertyoung8289]

If he has no interest in selling it would he prefer to GIVE it to me instead? 🤠

[@nicksterklad1]

Nice barn find Patrick and very good presentation. The reading of the cowl tag would have shown other specs and paint code.

[@Torsee]

Hey, I thought I issued a Fatwa.. No more Chevrolet Chevelle’s shall be discovered! There are too many of them! Every Meccum auction has 12 thousand of them to sell. 😂 We shall have a demolition derby! The last car running gets kept and restored. 😂 Glad you enjoy your work! You do have the luck. Thanks for the video. No offense intended.

Anytime something is ozone level of popularity the examples will come out of nowhere. It’s my job to show you what the authentic elite examples look like while providing professional informative commentary.

Man, a couple of armrest covers and seat covers, and a whole lot of cleaning, and that interior will be mint! Tuxedo Black with white stripes is the ultimate color combo on those too - just like Wooderson's LS6!

[@jonroel6748]

Man I wish I could be lucky enough to find and purchase a hot rod /muscle car .

[@HI-PERFfamily9151]

As always, More Thank You's On the way🙂another great Video Patrick, all the best to you.

[@oldskool1979]

How old is the owner ? He cant take it with him....unless his kids want it hes best to sell it.

[@phillipanderson2607]

I love that year SS. I had a friend that had a black Chevelle SS with a 454cu from factory and the car was pretty fast back in the late 70s. I know it's not a car but I have a schwinn homegrown xt bicycle 1997 model that I put in the closet of my house in late 1997 a high end bike that hasn't seen the sun for 25 years. It still looks brand new. I guess it's rare too. I might put it on ebay some day.

[@davidkeeton6716]

I've seen Schwinn Orange Crates and Lemon Peelers that were mint and must have been put up like that at Barbers Vintage races selling for $3500-$5000.

[@Bruningable]

Oh I hope it never get's fully restored. It's a perfect time capsule. Clean it, restore it mechanically, fix driver seat and drive it. Maybe new paint but only on the outside. The inside of trunk etc. is in perfect condition... Anothe great video, thank you Sir!

[@raykasza6855]

I'm sure you tried purchasing this car before you gave the owner your endorsement. If the car has been sitting this long I'll probably be correct he is not going to restore it and it's going to sit there for a long time.

[@gregkistner1955]

It's amazing the cars you discover! This one is truly a treasure!!

[@robertwest3093]

Anyone ever wonder why you haven't seen many Chevelles since the late 1980's? Somehow or another, it seems a good portion of Chevelle owners, for one reason or another, decided to parked their prized cars in barns, or sometimes garages, and then basically forget about the car for 30 or 40 years. Seriously, I have never seen so many classic cars all of a sudden being found in the strangest places after being completely forgotten about and ignored for decades. The sad thing is that most of these newly rediscovered cars will continue to sit right where they are....reverting back to rust!

[@og-greenmachine8623]

I’ve noticed I’ve only seen one in El Camino barn find on KZbin. I see a lot of Chevelle💡 El Camino prices -will eventually be the highest

[@MiturBinEsderty]

Unfortunately the owners never have the money to restore it. He could make top $$ selling it. It’s a 6 figure car as is. Guy like Patrick have the knowledge and abilities to take the car to concors level instead the owner will let it degrade more and die the the family will cash out

[@saturnsongs]

DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO THIS !!! He shouldn't get paid just for walking in that garage and pointing a camera into the corner. Nothing got done.

[@davidvonanderseck8649]

I know people like that. They are waiting for the car to be worth 100,000 dollars as is. I laughed at a guy who has a 79 trans am. He's waiting for it to be worth 50k. And if you guessed it, he haven't driven it for years and years and haven't ran for a long long time.

[@kickit59]

I am in my 60's and a Guy I have known my whole life has a 69 RS Z28 Camaro. It hasn't run since 1978 but ran when he parked it back then. It has been in the same garage since 78 without moving. Every year or so since 84 I have made an offer on the car but so far not happening. I am guessing now it will come down to who lives the longest on whether I will ever be able to purchase it. He always says he is going to restore it but it never happens. I guess it has made a great home for the cat but not so good for he Camaro.

I remember back in 1983 my friend had a triple black 70ss 454 and we ruled the town till a hemi cuda ame rolling up one night at stop light.We both launched on main street in a small rural town.We where tight for the 1st 50 feet then the cuda pulled it was over then blue and red lights came outa nowhere.that shut us down.We got away we turned down a back alley and ran onto highway and hid in a car lot they whent flying by we just whent opposite way.cuda woulda won no doubt but cops stopped our fun.we also had changed the gearing in rear end to 411 gears in the chevelle which gave us the jump but ya that cuda was fast.the chevelle 454 did beat 2 383 roadrunners but it couldnt take the 426 cuda no way.my friend has a 70 orange cuda with the 440 black stripes on quarter but its a sleeper its got the old 426 hemi in it cars mint bodywise hes got the 440 that was in it stored away he said its to slow with a 440.he became a mopar nut after buying a 69 chevelles 396 that was only 4 years old and built he got beat by a cuda to he dont like losing so hes been mopar ever since
