1970 Chevelle LS6 Getting on it!

For best video and sound please change quality to 1080! Badass 1970 chevelle LS6 getting on it. Sorry, I tried to keep the camera steady :)

[@jdm757]

The feeling these machines gave you even when you're standing still will never be matched. The sound, the absolute raw power and torque that glued you to the seat, the look of the car. Nothing will ever come close.

[@takefivepaullucido]

100%

[@1990notch]

Yeah, I was hooked from the day in 1970 when my brother took my mom to the grocery store in his '65 4 spd, tri-power GTO. I was 6 years old in the back seat but still remember my mom saying "Gary, slow down!!!". He just looked at her, laughed, shoved it into 3rd gear and slammed the throttle again. Probably the last time she got in that car.

[@jdm757]

@@1990notch haha man i know the feeling. When i first got my license, my dad took me out in his '67 Firebird 400. We went to an abandoned parking lot and he parked it, and let me sit in the drivers seat. All he told me was: "Put it in drive and floor it" Was addicted from then on

[@1990notch]

​@@jdm757 Those Firebird 400's are great cars!! I once had a 1970 1/2 SS/RS 396 Camaro I bought in 1982 and sold a few years later. It was a hard decision what to get in the early '80's, you could get a lot of decent cars for 2 grand. I remember seeing hemi Cuda's for about 4-5 grand.

[@madd4455]

I'm 25 and people would think I always want one of the new muscle cars but NOTHING compares to pure classic American muscle! The looks, the beautiful sound, the torque shoving you back and pinning you in your seat, the raw power and almost every moving part under that steel hood is mechanical! The best cars ever is and always will be classic American muscle cars!

[@timtlougan9405]

I had a new one (Blue with white stripes/white interior 4 speed) so I know the scoop isn't working correctly on this one as it should close on deceleration. I loved that car and have fond memories but ALSO I got to say I love my 6 speed challenger with 500 HP mid 11 second car with AC 13 speaker 3-400 watt sound and 25 MPH cruising, traction control, ABS Brembo brakes ETC.

I can’t stopping watching this...my dad owned an LS6 from new, to 1975 (typical story, he sold it after the 73 gas crunch, and after starting to raise a family). He supposedly shed a tear watching it get driven away....for $1800 in 1975. I can scan pics of that day if anyone is interested. But this video boxes with what my mother also told me......she was TERRIFIED to ride in that car when my pops went up against other cars on the street on the way home from bars or dinners in downtown Detroit when they went out on dates. A very nasty car for its period. My own mother (a tiny 5ft girl) told me, after shutting down a hemi GTX two times in a row.....she wanted it to end.....so she leaned out the window on run 3, and said “do you really want this again you SOMAFABITCH?”

That sound man and ride brings back lots of memories. If only I had kept one of my cars from back in the day. I had so many muscle cars . In my day however they were daily drivers to work, school , etc and then your weekend warriors too. I had a 71 SS and a 72 SS 396 with the 402. My favorite car I had the most fun in was a 65 Oldsmobile Cutlass with a built 396 under the hood. Muncie 4 Speed, 4.11 posi. I ran the living crap out of that car, floated the valves I don't know how many times but she never came apart and I was hard on it! Put 3 gallons of cam2 in it then topped it off with high test so it wouldn't ping. Nobody would race me everyone was intimidated by the sound and look of the rat. Found a few LS6 cars in a shed, barn back then but NFS. All cars long gone now. Watching your video made me think of good times I had as a young man. If only I had one now to tinker with. I was a mechanic as my trade and hurt my back pulling motors, rears, etc . Three back surgeries later and no cars. I really miss that sound, look and thrill of going through the gears full throttle it's a rush. Anyway thanks for the video man. Sounds great.

[@mrnobody6609]

I became a muscle car lover because of the sound alone. Sure they look amazing, but the sound is what grabs me the most. The sound of the engine is like its voice, and they sound like they're begging you to stand on it. They remind me of a dog in a ready position, waiting for you to unhook his leash so he can run. I love the sound of them so much that I am now the proud owner of a 1970 Oldsmobile 442. With the enormous camshaft that I put in it, that car sounds like it's possessed by the devil himself. It's a terrifying car whilst sitting at idle, and I wouldn't want it any other way.

When I was growing up in the early 1980's, these cars could be had for $1000-1500 bucks. Somewhere in that ballpark figure. The Big block mopars slightly cheaper. After the 1973 and 1980 gas crunches, the market really fell out for these cars. That and most people were into toyota and nissan really big at that particular time. It was great to be in high school then and get a drivers license and do what me and a lot of my friends did at that time, buy these cars that were just about on every street corner or farm and have fun with them. Most of us only wish we'd kept what we had from that unique time in America.
