I still have my original 70 - SS396 Chevelle that I got in Highschool in 1978. less than 60k original miles on it. Back in 78, people struggled to give these cars away, due to fuel costs.

Thanks for posting this video. I'm going to disagree with your conclusion, and here's why. The LS6 was not the only SS Chevelle built at the Atlanta plant that received a single fuel line. In 1970, the single fuel line will reveal that the car had the 40768 fuel pump, which had no return line provision. Cars that had a return line (i.e., two fuel lines) received the 40727 fuel pump. Box 33 on the build sheet on SS cars will either have 727 or 768 to indicate which corresponding fuel pump was to be installed. I just reviewed 20 different Atlanta build sheets from L34 SS cars (396/350hp), ranging from October 1969 to Feb 1970, and every sheet indicates that the cars were equipped with the 768 fuel pump (single fuel line, no return line). I also reviewed 6 different Atlanta build sheets for LS5 cars, and they also specify the 768 fuel pump. Bottom line: A single fuel line is not evidence of a car being an LS6 for Atlanta-built SS Chevelles in 1970.

It always amazed me that Chevy didn't mandate positraction on performance cars. I think your followers would appreciate more info on single/dual, 3/8 vs. 5/16 fuel lines. Build sheets were stuffed away in odd places as opposed to throwing them out. In 1972 a strange car appeared in my town. It was a regular 1972 Malibu 350 with a cowl induction hood, driven by an old man. I would tease my friend who ordered but did not get the CI hood on his 1970 SS396. He received back the dealer's cost. "There goes your hood".

First 70 I ever bought had a 300 horse 350, factory flapper hood and SS stripes on a chrome bumper non SS Boo.. The build sheet showed someone ordered it that way with a bench and column shift, there's more than a few 70 odd ducks. Car had a factory 12 bolt with a light to light killer tall ass gear too. I've been through hundreds of 70's the car will give you clues but the only way to ever say this is a legit factory LS3/5,6 or L78 car is paperwork.

@americafirstmaga507326 күн бұрын
That's not conclusive evidence of an LS6, not even close. Atl builds had metal inner fenders. Early builds, January, had the chrome trim under headlights, hood pin location could be factory or added. And the trim code you read I believe, is an SS package or upper & lower paint color/s. Not trim around windows.
@charleshaggard434126 күн бұрын
Always interesting to see your videos. Since there is no motor, transmission, and wrong rear end, what would be the value of it considering the amount of money it would take to make it a nice car. It could never be a true LS6.

The 396/ 375 and 454/ 450 both had solid lifters and a 6,500 RPM redline. All 70 SS Chevelles had the power bulge on the hood, the difference was if it had the optional cowl induction mechanism ( no flat hoods on an SS). I'm not sure if there is an exact date that the 396/375 was cancelled or supplies ran out. Keep up the good work!

Ok so here's my question. We have an LS6 car but the critical bits like the original engine, trans & rear end are missing. It is also missing the entire interior! About the only way you could get this car back on the road is using reproduction parts. Since it is so rusty and missing so much is it even financially feasible to restore this car? From my experience where do you stop cutting on a car as rusty as this one? Your opinion of the advisability of restoring this one would be interesting!
@MikhailScottKy25 күн бұрын
How fast do you want to get it on the road? I have a friend that collected parts over 10 years before even starting to work on his. You can get really good deals on parts if you educate yourself on what can interchange from the GM lineup for the year your car was made.
@kickit5925 күн бұрын
@@MikhailScottKy In my experience a car this far gone will financially become a money pit. The only thing that would help is if you can do most if not all the work yourself. Still by the time you find a period correct drivetrain for it an rebuild it it will be a lot of money and will still not be a matching number car which will hurt any resale value. Really the only way you could do it is if you did all the work yourself and planned to keep the car. Because I guarantee you that you can go out in the marketplace and buy a really really nice non matching numbers car for way less than rebuilding this on!

Why weren't these vehicles among others not standardized when it comes to the building process? Why would Atlanta put the firewall piece where it's located and other assembly plants do something different? Did they not have the tooling universally at all assembly plants back then? Why paint using different color primer as well as other parts of the cars assembled at the plants? Why weren't things assembled identical across the board on all vehicles at all plants?
