From its humble beginnings in a small town in southern Indiana to modern-day Los Angeles. This once gold and black SS has been transformed into a matte black "trailer park" muscle car.

That was what we call in the industry a "Happy Ending".

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Yes haha!

[@steveweiman4708]

"He did not like hot rodding....... " that made my whole DAY(!) :)

[@FourSpeedFilms]

So funny!

[@murdoc6501]

Another great video of an outstanding car! Sad that some random dude (probably a Prius owner) got his panties in a bunch and thought it was okay to curse at you, but awesome for the video! Go Four Speed, keep moving forward!

[@FourSpeedFilms]

The funniest part was that he was two blocks down the street lol

[@cuzz63]

My first car was a 72 Chevelle SS. I got bit by the street racing bug and felt the Chevelle was too heavy to be fast enough so I sold it and built a V8 Vega. I always loved the Chevelle though and as I got older decided I wanted to get another one so during Covid I found another 72 Chevelle....

[@JaredR1996]

What a beautiful Chevelle. I could only dream of owning one day

[@FourSpeedFilms]

You can do it!

[@LSEtrucks]

Great video! I hope hot rodding never dies. Gotta love the chevelle 🤙❤️‍🔥

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Thanks!

[@garycamara9955]

Its not a hot rod, its a muscle car.

[@yamahaxs6501]

People need to chill. That car rocks!

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Lol

[@Hendrixbroncobiz]

Those pulls and the burnouts at the end were totally awesome! The best part is the guy getting mad. Makes me wanna do some burnouts today!. NICE CAR!

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Yeah that was awesome lol

[@Chevelle602]

I LOVE the nose up look on Chevelles!

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Yes 👌

[@chrishensley6745]

Amen Brother!

[@mattfuel1321]

I love that his whole first floor is a garage!

[@FourSpeedFilms]

So crazy

[@GreybeardGarage1972]

"Trailer Park Muscle Car circa 1975" , excellent, I'm gonna use that to describe my 72 🤣

[@keithwilder2741]

Two words…Hell Yes! Love it when owners drive ‘‘em like they stole ‘em.

[@FourSpeedFilms]

🙌🙌

[@02DDP]

That gold and black paint job with the original style wheels was perfect!😁.. wish I could find a 80s malibu to build on.

[@FourSpeedFilms]

That would be cool

[@STEELCITYCAPRICE]

Oldschool 💪💪💪🏁🏁🏁

[@captainbuttnuggets4786]

I like seeing the younger generation enjoying old school cars 🤘🏼👍🏼

[@crazyhorse8508]

May not have kept it original color but he has kept it up..

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Yes!

[@bubot17]

Sweet ride, and a nice story on the car 👍❤️👍❤️👍

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Thanks for watching

[@benzlick]

This reminds me of my High School car which was a 72 Malibu. I put every penny and hour I could get into it and before I painted it tuxedo black with rally stripes. Up until that I had it primered flat black so it looked and drove much like that! Thanks for sharing 😎👍

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Awesome

[@MuricaFkYeah]

How lucky that back in those days you could get classic muscle cars for less than half the price you could get today. I am a Ford guy myself, but I always loved the 70-72 SS Chevelles ❤

[@robertdavies7802]

Now that’s a muscle car !

[@FourSpeedFilms]

🔥🔥🔥

[@gmans7859]

Simple yet effective. God I love 'Old School'. You got me wondering now if I should put the reproduction Ol' 'Poly Glass' tires on my car.

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Do it! Or Firestone makes radial versions with the bias ply look

[@dloneyv8]

Rolling burnouts were epic! Well done!

[@Flogknaw101]

American racing wheels on pretty much anything is a chefs kiss in my opinion.

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Yes!

[@johnsarian_cu]

Another great story. As good as the car. Especially enjoyed that "precious" complainer at the end. LOL First vid I though his funky property looked a little tight. But watching those cars move through it....Wow. Gotta be creative to get the heavy American metal in and out.

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Thanks for watching John!

[@SweatyFatGuy]

I grew up in Nebraska, was stationed in Germany, South Carolina, Korea, and the mid east, now I live in Michigan.. and in all the places I have had my cars I never had anyone say anything like that to me. Driving around the 70 GTO with a satin black rattle can paint job I had people starting up conversations at stop lights They talk to me and give me thumbs up in my 70 Cuda and 65 GTO too. It might be time to move out of california when the inhabitants don't want gearheads around anymore.. let them all walk. ;)

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Cool!

[@32road]

Ol’ Dave ain’t skeerd!! Smoke ‘em if ya got ‘em! 😁 Thanks Ben, another good one. 👍

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Thanks haha

[@toddclark332]

Love them Chevelle's had a couple thanks for sharing buddy

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Thanks!

[@crowvelle]

I lowered mine 2", but the stance on this one really works.

[@jeffalessi]

Ben, That Smoke Made It All The Way Here To Chicago, Keep Up The Hell Raisin And Have A Most Awesome Evening!

[@FourSpeedFilms]

You got that right!

[@tompreciado863]

Great video bud! The end was so funny, I can’t believe that happened 😂

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Thanks!

[@johnmonroe2151]

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Yes🙌

[@danielbaugher1798]

i didnt think you could have a car that was slow and scary till i got a Malibu. watching one go fast is a trip

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Yes!

[@davevan8864]

WOW.....lots of parallels there. I bought my 66 Mustang in 1975 while in HS. First car....and still have her!! I hope to shoot some type video of her soon.....but my dream is to have you do your magic and film her......want to come 3000 miles??? Thanks

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Nice! A little too far! But that would be cool

[@DanielAlvarez-xl4qy]

Cool guy guy chevelle i love the smell of gas on an old car lol i habe a 1979 z28 n i can relate to that lol cool as chevelle n story

Always a Karen

[@jamiemineer4879]

I had a ‘72 Heavy Chevy in high school and regret letting go

[@FourSpeedFilms]

[@gunsandhorsepower]

That chevelle is bad ass looking i wonder how it would do against my 6.0 swapped 71 oldsmobile cutlass almost the same fast back style body

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Pretty cool Ben 👍😎👍

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Thanks

[@garycamara9955]

That car wasn't built yet when I was in highschool.

[@Jeff-io2zn]

I can attest to the ride. I had s 71 as 454 and its probably the most comfortable car to drive

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Awesome

[@MrChevyLover1]

Another great video. Nice 🤌🤌🤌

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Glad you enjoyed

[@dlyrag755]

Have to move out of CALF. The tree huggers will hunt you down and destroy your car. I for one love that smell. My old Camaro would make my eyes water. Love the smell of racing gas.

[@noahgaray7923]

Nice to see someone actually playing with their car!

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Yes!

[@1Also]

5:56 Cool and unconventional steering wheel choice.

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Thanks for watching!

[@michaeldinke6540]

@YouCanBeAlso....interesting, considering its a factory SS optioned steering wheel.

[@1Also]

@@michaeldinke6540 No, interesting as in its universally recognized as the ugliest steering wheel every produced by Chevrolet. That kind of interesting. Not as interesting as adding an “e” to make something less humiliating, no matter how accurate.
