AUTHENTIC 1970 CHEVELLE SS396 MOVES TO A HAPPY NEW HOME!!!

[@michaelmcleod1579]

Awesome 70 Chevelle. My 66 SS 360 horse 4-speed also came with 3:31 gears and no power steering. Truly a pleasure to drive. I love Chevelles. Best cars ever made in my opinion.

[@jaywalk6628]

Factory triple black bench 4 speed. Killer. Thank you Patrick.

[@ronaldmorrow1435]

Patrick, you're a walking encyclopedia on chevelles! Great job!

[@cap6159]

Yet another great walk around and imformative video by a very knowledgeable Chevelle lover. Keep up the great work you do Patrick. I've learned so much through your video's.

[@anniepierce4308]

My husband owned a 70 SS 396 4 speed Chevelle, tan and bucket seats. Man what a find and restoration. Original shifter, with the reverse lock with having to turn the steering column that rotated before you could remove the keys! Never thought he would see another like your find, thanks for sharing.

[@Cartier_specialist]

I'm glad to see the prior owners resisted putting in hood pins and a pop-up cowl induction hood along with the almost ubiquitous SS stripes.

[@OutlawMercenary]

agreed.....

[@bobsilver3983]

I would not buy a Chevelle with stripes, I can't stand them!

[@teammariani]

Great job Patrick! It was great having you at Past & Present Motor Cars! 👍🏻🙌🏻

[@dg4290]

Always appreciate your videos keep ‘em comin

[@roncianci7524]

Beautiful machine and another great and informative review. Ron

[@humblewisdom8976]

That was my exact first car I ever owned minus the vinyl top. All black 396 4spd bench seat no cowl induction. Great memories! One thing that stuck out to me was the amount of room around the motor even for a big block.

[@nickrice7535]

Shows real nice. Like it with no stripes. Buyer will appreciate owning this Chevelle. Great video. 👍

[@jayricky4319]

Very Nice Looking chevelle I think that car looks awesome without the ss strips

[@silviomelendezjr8099]

Another beautiful machine, Chevelle’s are my favorites.

[@kevinwhitt7972]

I'm a big fan of the D88 delete cars. Another great find and excellent video! Thanks PGN!

[@stevecochran2677]

Beautiful paint on that car.

[@fireemtguy]

I agree with you, I like to see them as survivors with their flaws

[@mlamb4794]

Great stuff brother 😊

[@MikeBrown-ii3pt]

My absolute favorite is a black on black, no stripe 70 Chevelle! The only things I don't like about this one is the vinyl top and lack of A/C but, I wouldn't kick it out of the garage for those minor issues. Even though I don't mind adjusting valves now and then, the L34(?) 396 or LS5 454 would be my choices for a car that's going to see a lot of use.

Nice car! Great video! Is there a registration list of all the 70 Chevelles that you have validated that is available to be searched?

[@oldscoolcooldiecast1879]

Definitely needed in the hobby my opinion

[@samueladams7798]

Why no hood pins ? I’ve owned four, two with cowl induction, two w/standard dome hood. All Baltimore built, all had hood pins.

[@silviomelendezjr8099]

Hey Patrick, have you seen lately a true original Chevelle? And I mean the way it was built from the factory. Thank you

[@johnholmberg6239]

Yes

[@olskool3967]

oh but the 62 impala! my favorite!

[@martinedwards4522]

This Chevelle has A/C dash vents but no Factory Air.

[@timjo1970]

Good catch @roncianci7524

[@ldean-du5im]

It’s called Astro ventilation , you have upper vents in dash and lower vents on kick plate , separate controls for upper and lower.

[@timjo1970]

@@ldean-du5im Non A/C cars would not have these vents, as @raymondboczek stated.

[@mikenewton8017]

Someone had installed a small radio or something in the delete plate, then someone installed an a/c vent when it was removed. No body swap@@raymondboczek

[@kc0lif]

great generation of chevelles.

[@simonrichie9386]

Nice car but why does it have vents on the dash when it doesn’t have air conditioning usually it’s deleted with a Chevrolet plate majority non air has the deleted plate above the controls just asking ?

[@ricktaylor3748]

IDK why GM put 3:31 gears in these great cars. Seems very high geared.

[@kevinkendall3122]

Especially with a 4spd,I changed mine out with a 3:55 gear,all around great gear

[@ricktaylor3748]

[@kevinkendall3122]

@@ricktaylor3748 yea that'll make one jump for sure 👍

[@bobbrinkerhoff3592]

There was a time when they didn't recommend putting a close ratio 4 speed with anything less then 4:11s . The 2 .20 first gear with 3:31s tends to eat clutches , the 2 .54 first gear works much better in my experience.

[@thud9797]

3.31 would have been the 4-spd/AC setup right? That might explain it.

[@crownironman]

WOW, is that body straight!

[@camino6570]

Are the parts on SS just for them or did they use them though out the 70 model year like wiper motor etc

[@chucksgmgarage1116]

Patrick I have a question regarding a 1972 SS 454 LS5 I am purchasing can you help ?

Too bad it lacked AC and bucket seats with middle console. Who ever did the restore did a nice job on it.

Triple black?!?! My beating heart! I'd prefer a survivor thank you

[@oldscoolcooldiecast1879]

What a buitiful chevelle I dont mind it's bin fixed to this level if it was the best work but to me it needs white racing stripes even if it didn't come with them I'm just that much of a fan on how they look with them

[@MrChevelle83]

I would definitely have put stripes on my 70 if it didnt have them. the body lines deserve the stripes. My car is dark green/white stripes.

Again, I'm not a GM fan at all. BUT, if I had to own a GM product it would be 2 different years and model of cars, this being one. I'd prefer the 454 like a friend ordered new, but this 402 ain't worth kicking this one to the side over. Nice car, hope the buyer enjoys it and treats it like it's been treated for 53 years.
