1970 Chevrolet Chevelle LS6 454 - The Last One?-​Muscle Car Of The Week Video Episode

1970 Chevrolet Chevelle LS6 454 - The Last One?-​Muscle Car Of The Week Video Episode #182
The 1970 LS6 Chevelle featured in the video is suggested to potentially be the last of its kind based on the VIN tag and the date stamp on the trim tag. According to the information provided, it was assembled in Kansas City in the third week of July 1970, which matches the production timeline known for these cars. Additionally, the VIN number falls at the end of the sequence, indicating that it could indeed be the very last LS6 Chevelle produced for the 1970 model year.
However, it's important to note that while this claim is plausible based on the available information, without comprehensive production records, it can be challenging to definitively confirm whether this specific car was the absolute final LS6 Chevelle built in 1970.
Regardless of whether it's conclusively the last one or not, the significance of this particular LS6 Chevelle lies in its rarity and the historical context of being a high-powered, iconic muscle car from that era. The LS6 engine, known for its performance capabilities, was a standout feature in these Chevelles, making them highly sought after by collectors and muscle car enthusiasts.
The car showcased in the video is presented as an original and well-maintained example, sporting the LS6 engine, a Muncie 4-speed transmission, and other performance enhancements typical of the SS package. Its black cherry color scheme, white SS stripes, and functional cowl induction hood add to its appeal, blending aggressive styling with high performance.
Ultimately, whether this specific LS6 Chevelle is the last one built or not, it remains a prized and valuable piece in the Brothers Collection, capturing the essence of a powerful era in automotive history.

The 70 Chevelle SS is my favorite car of all time. My brother bought a new one in 70 when he was in the Army. Cranberry red cowl induction hood, black stripes and black interior. Gorgeous car. Black cherry is beautiful too.

[@stripervince1]

even if you're not a Chevy guy, impossible to dislike this. amazing body style. if the 1970 SS chevelle had the 71 or 72 round tail light rear bumper it would look even better in my opinion. would match the 4 headlights better. a friend of mine has a 70 LS6 that's even nicer than this (if thats believable) with buckets and console, red with black stripes, he's owned it for over 30 years. its like it was built yesterday. def in the top 3 of all time muscle cars, and no doubt Chevys best ever. a real manly man muscle car

[@danieltubbs5422]

Add another to the list, I like the rectangular lights but the round tail lights were the best.

[@edwardbaker8225]

I've got a friend that owns a 69 Chevelle 396 hugger orange all original never been touched showroom condition if that's believable if you need proof let me know. 😉

[@bilbobaggins4710]

@@edwardbaker8225 sweet...Love '69's...My old man had a yellow one with black top and interior...Crashed it head on ...Oh well

[@davidmccall4776]

IMHO, the '70 was the best Chevelle that GM ever produced! In all aspects.

[@BrianChappie]

A beast of an engine and nice color. First time I've heard of a "black cherry" paint color.

[@cuzz63]

There were 2 options for red, cranberry and black cherry.

[@kurtwise7356]

The 450 hp rating was a joke! Mine on the Dyno reached 502 horsees! It was because of insurance! Lol

[@JimGoch]

I always doubted it was 450hp. You're right it was for the insurance companies. ❤

[@67mustangfreak35]

I'm a hardcore Ford guy. I love my classic Mustang with all my heart, but be that as it may, there is something badass about a 454 Chevy Chevelle. I just love 'em.. Too bad you don't see many of them left, and especially in Europe where I live. Muscle cars are scarce. MuscleCarOfTheWeek, please keep coming with your awesome videos, and thank you for letting a European guy and the rest of the world share your American Dream of the perfect muscle car. Cheers from Denmark.

[@steves.922]

Beautiful! I had what is thought as the last 1971 SS-454 Monte Carlo built. There were only 1910 built that final year. Ordered in March 1971 and arrived at dealer September 1971 with the new 1972 models. Wish I had that car back today.

[@NewtonWashinton]

just a little foot note the wheels were 14"x7" Thank you for all the videos, I do enjoy seeing them and Have a Merry Christmas!!

[@kanukster]

Got to luv the Cheby chaterbar suspension.

[@mhuntert]

kanukster

[@gt4th]

I have fallen in love! Thank you for the show and in particular for this car. Maybe if I donate a go-pro camera we could get some in car p.o.v. shots. Even just a couple gears. Great show!

[@edwardbaker8225]

That LS6 Chevelle is absolutely beautiful ! It's not just sharp it's gorgeous.

[@bobsilver3983]

I absolutely love the 1970 Chevelle SS but my favorite body style EVER of any car ever produced by man is the 1968 and 1969 GTO/Lemans/Tempest.

[@5inthehole]

The three best are the two previously names and the 68 Charger in any of its forms (I’d take the R/T of course!).

[@CCGR-2024]

Sweet Little black cherry, and what's not to like about cherries? I think this is my favorite of all the cars you've shown, keep them coming please.

[@hotwheel6663]

Man these were really a beast in the El caminos.

[@hotroddaddy-et4xg]

i don't know if the brothers collection is actual brothers or museum but what ever it is,, i'm glad they stuffed all these beauties away..

[@happypapi1903]

454 cubic inches is about 7.3 litres for us Canucks

[@GoodOlRoll]

7.4

[@dylanvicker6380]

Hey Kevin is there anyway to get one of my Pontiac ram air IV's on the show

[@oveidasinclair982]

I never liked the bench seat, wish they would have made that car in bucket seats, center console and would have added an AC option, not everyone lived up north.

[@jimmybanta4520]

Bad mammo jamo

[@billthompson5644]

what was the difference between an m-21 and an M22 transmission?

[@danieltubbs5422]

The M20 and M21 designated a wide or close ratio (in that order). The M22 was a close ratio with a semi straight cut gear for strength. While great for drag racing, they really designed it for road racing applications which is why it was seen mostly in Corvette applications (or behind giant big blocks). You can learn far more than you will ever want from muncie4speed.com

[@christokinieriem8796]

4.11 final gear, right?

[@anthonyc1883]

4.10, mentioned at 3:52

[@rodsapyta7059]

HOW MUCH???

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

+Rod Sapyta The car is we feature on muscle car of the week or not for sale. They all live in A private collection

[@lindakovacs4263]

Would paint it Black and dark blue stripes and rims. Lettering on window "Blue on Black".

[@edcain3676]

This Beast IS Rare in Power & Color, & W/ the Condition , Makes Its WORTH ,TOP Of the Ladder.Only 1 of A Few I' ve Heard of in This Paint.

[@Doucette767]

Bench seats are best for young lovers!

[@chriswalls5831]

Ss super sexy chevelle 70

[@glengabruch4664]

Last of Chevrolet's best street muscle car. -I don't mean tuner cars like Yenkos and other COPO or special L-88 race cars. I'm talking mass production street muscle car. The LS6 was Chevrolet's best in that regard. 👍

[@ibrahim-chevelleMalibuman]

The ultimate legendary ❤❤❤ I’m in love

[@paulcondie2520]

My ex father in law still owns the 70 ss ls6 he bought new in 1970 unmolested excellent original condition with 8600 miles!!! Miles keep creeping up since he is finally enjoying it and drives it to local car shows. I almost stayed married for a chance to get the car when he passes some day!!! Lol The car wasn't worth the bitch! Lol

[@m.mgnmark9186]

My dream car ! Thank you

[@warrenbates2949]

I was 14 in 1970 wanted one of those so bad never got one.

[@rrmech11]

beautiful

[@rjwintl]

love the double headlights rather than the single headlights like on the '71 and'72 !!!

[@sabufinisher]

i bet this car will get a restoration as it is not the cleanest car in the brother's collection.still looks nice compared to others in the street

[@LightMyFirebird]

I can't stop staring at that '69 Trans Am in the background

[@anthonyc1883]

I hope you've seen the video on that Trans Am.

[@cdnpont]

In 1980 after tickets took me off the road, I rode to the steelmill for a few months in a workmates original 70 396 4 speed, red on red, bucket Chevelle SS. He was 19 years old as I was. He knew he had an immaculate hot car, and could certainly row it. He unfortunately had no clue of the value that it was to be. He sold it for 4500 in 82.

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Keep up the great work. Thank you.

[@GustavLindstroem]

C'mon Kevin... You and I both know the only explosion in an engine is the one that destroys it... there's a difference between explosion and combustion. Other than that, that's one cool car. Although I think I'd prefer Your personal '70 Buick Riviera! If it's still in your collection that is?

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

Great point Gustav! However, we like to think of big horsepower coming from explosions as well. We still have the '70, but it's not as quick as this one!

[@GustavLindstroem]

I can agree with that, but all us car nerds are screamin' out loud every time we hear "engine" and explosion" used in the same sentence ;-) The Buick doesen't need to be fast, it's got 510 ft-lb to deal with anything trying to restrain it and that's good enough for me :) Love those 455s.

[@tphvictims5101]

I would love to own an everyday drive car about 302 ci. Ford or chevy or a 340 anything 6 pack.

[@633rex100]

Those solid lift cam big block Chevys should have come with factory "blow shields"!

[@stan9670]

Non radial 14 inch tires is what they were born with amazing how the tires did not blow out during burnouts. This car has radials

[@hmackprotection1]

Great Video. Hey Kevin, what was the True curb weight on those LS6's?

[@sparvar11]

beauty !

[@5inthehole]

Anyone check the 1970 chevelle registry to see if this is the last one listed?

[@mikescaffo4850]

One of my all time favorites what a time to be and American

[@justen98]

Always loved those cars!

[@Larryw-o2k]

had one needed frame straighted after racing finaly added metal to stop it sold it for 200 dollers frame bent in 4 places broken in 2 body bent but was a hoss nothing much except my gto would beat it

[@canusakommando9692]

A very sweet ride!!

[@markfrazier2575]

Do the "brothers" (are they actually brothers?) own all of these cars or is this a collection from several different owners who keep their cars at this location?

[@DoudD]

www.musclecaroftheweek.com/index.php/about-us

[@markfrazier2575]

Thanks. It's incredible that one group could own that many priceless and rare cars. Awesome. Literally millions (tens of millions?) of dollars worth of rare automobiles in one place. Hope they open it to the public at some point.

[@billylowe9631]

Is this Chevelle a survivor?

[@anthonyc1883]

It is, according to a comment posted by Kevin of Muscle Car of The Week above. He was replying to another viewer's question.

[@Queen71373]

This 1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS6 is absolutely gorgeous!!! Those were the years of cars that were like no others!! Thank you very much for this very special video. From Lynette In Illinois USA 🇺🇸 March 16, 2024

[@mikehaag-f2m]

The Ls6 was the greatest car ever built

[@mikehaag-f2m]

I just wanted to do a comment on the 70
