Newly discovered 1970 SS454 LS6 Chevelle found parked on a garage lift since 1978!!!

This incredible 1970 Chevelle SS454 LS6 has been hiding since 1978 on a garage lift in central Pennsylvania. A iconic Tuxedo black with white stripes built at the Baltimore, MD assembly plant.

Your a very lucky Man, she is sweet as they come, with those headers, I know it's a beast, 454 loved headers, !!!!Damn I watch this 3 times Tonite, thanks for sharing this mi Friend !!!

[@oveidasinclair982]

Pat you need to show this car off again after you get it cleaned up and looking sweet again. Love those bucket seats and center console, beautiful machine.

[@hhanger1]

I have a friend who had one of these in the mid-late 70's but it was a SS 396. He still has it. Got a lot of fond memories riding in it up and down Westheimer in Houston during that time.

You deserve this car Patrick since you’re the guy when it comes to these!! Enjoy it !

This magnificent SS Chevelle will now get the proper love and care it so richly deserves...... beautiful find Patrick.

[@starman7945]

Great to have you back Patrick. I can’t claim to be a big Chevelle guy but I really enjoy your enthusiasm and knowledge of your subject. I’ve watched a load of your videos but my favourite is your rolling burnout leaving a show in your Cranberry red car in the dark. The sound that car makes is just awesome !

[@SHENDOH]

I know where a 22000 mile original is in New Mexico, but the original owner doesn't want to be bothered. It is glorious. His discipline in keeping this car correct is unmatched. It doesn't even go to shows. He's unaffected by anything. It's his absolute favorite thing next to his family. I remodeled 3 bathrooms for him in 2009. Saw it then. Pristine. Original tires and spare! 4 speed car. Tricentennial Gold.

[@MrChevelle83]

I just cant get tired of these old Chevys! I've owned a 70 Malibu 350 4 speed for 18 years and still enjoy driving it every time I take it for a spin!! Thanks for another great video!

[@robertwest3093]

You, sir, have uncanny luck! Finding just ONE of these gems in a lifetime is a rare feat. Finding TWO LS-6 Chevelles, just MONTHS apart, and both cars have been napping indoors since the late '70s, tells me you would also probably win the state lottery the next time you purchased a ticket! Big time congratulations on your finds! The 1970 Chevelle has always been my favorite car, ever since I was 4 years old and my older brother owned one. I am now 51 and still haven't owned a 1970 Chevelle SS, just a basket case Malibu about 20 years ago.

[@MrDave527]

I live 10 minutes from Scranton. Couldn’t believe you said you found this near Scranton. Wow! Beautiful car. 🔥🔥

[@C.S.Sensei]

I think this is my favorite car you've found. Tuxedo Black 4 sp LS6 hard to top. And really remarkable body. The first thing I noticed that I learned from you are the chrome trim under headlights that notes an "earlier build".. That's a keeper and a full rotisserie restoration car. Great find. USA1 🇺🇸

[@robertobeltran442]

Stuff might break along the way of a full rotisserie resto. Best bet would be to clean it up and get her running and leave the history untouched

[@ase2060]

@@robertobeltran442 you got that right good buddy.

[@bigblocklawyer]

It's amazing to me how many LS6s you find and how, even though they have been modified significantly over the decades, they remain largely intact. Even in the day, it seems like people knew these were going to be a big deal 52 years later. My date-coded-tire-air ocd mid-yearCorvette restoration obsession is greatly rewarded with your insistence on assembly line accuracy. Thanks for the memories.

[@erikschnell6225]

It makes me feel good knowing these cars are still being found. I may never be able to afford one but at least these have survived and are in the hands of people who will keep them safe. thank you for sharing with us.

How is it proof? Do you believe everything you see on KZbin? It's just hard for me to believe this car sat on a lift unknown for almost half a century. Just sounds a bit iff to me. Seeing as how these are highly sought after.

[@davidsantos8206]

This car is incredible. Black with white stripes, M22, 410 rear end. And in this shape. Yeah I'd have to say it is the Holy Grail. I'm thinking that the gas crisis of the mid 70's has been a God send to you. Can't imagine many people could afford to drive them. That gas crisis must have produced a number of sweet gas guzzling barn finds. Thanks for the video.

Nice find Patrick

Patrick, you are the undisputed brand ambassador emiritus for Chevelles, and (barn find king) of all time.

[@nickrice7535]

Congrats Patrick on another great barn find LS6. Can't wait for a follow up to see miles and underneath. I noticed there is a large collection of 70 LS6 cars coming up at Mecum soon. Someone may want your assistance to verify for a purchase. I know I would if I was in the market. Right now I'm trying to decide if I want to sell my Gto for another mid year Vette, Chevelle or Nova. Anyway it was great to see your new video and purchase after waiting for a month or so since the last one. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and see your next posting soon.. 👍

[@ccjohncc1]

In 1972 a friend from high school, after a bet two get straight A's in his last report card father bought his son a brand new LS 6 with 454 Holly 4 barrel cowl induction Hurst shift the works. One early summer day he took the challenge to race a mutual friend who had a big block cougar. After cougar took the lead for maybe 3 seconds before we zipped on by. He kept accelerating. I said that's enough Steve you won. He replied just a minute. My heart started to race. I looked over at the speedometer. It read 142 mph. My entire life flashed before my eyes. Your car is the exact same he had except his had the Hurst t handle and was the popular blue with black stripes.

[@edwood3033]

That's amazing with a 120 MPH speedometer.

That tank is gonna need to be cleaned out if it wasnt emptied already prior to storage.

Hey, that's mine! I brought it in for an oil change, they said it would be ready next week.

Despite being dusty, this is once heck of a clean car! And well kept, too. All original. I'd keep it that way.

Patrick is the ls6 sniper! That's why normal folks will never be able to find a ls6!

[@yavin99]

I love it when they have unusual colors and this car is amazing.

[@monopolyshark]

I enjoy your videos more than I enjoy looking at actual cars.

[@MikeBrown-ii3pt]

I've always loved 1970 Chevelles. If I ever hit the lottery, I'll be hunting for a numbers matching black on black, no stripe, no vinyl top 70 SS. Since I'd like to actually drive it rather than setting valve lash every few weeks, I'd probably look for an L-34 or LS-5 car. On the other hand, I don't mind setting valve lash now and then lol! Until I'm rich though, I'll just be happy with the black on black 70 Malibu that my wife and I restored and modified ourselves. While it's not a numbers matching car, it does have a full house small block and can definitely hold its own. I've never even thought about turning it into a "clone" either.

[@77yogurt]

Hell yeah man!!

[@cali2468]

With gas prices at $6/ga I'm some places it's not like you'd be driving it enough to worry about lash. lol

[@williamanthony5021]

I am freaking blown away . Yeah , I was born just right but most 454 Chevelles were red with black stripes. Your brilliance tells me black with white stripes a four speed and a must have 410 posi tells me that's the model I would desire . Headers ? Argh not me . I truly believe stock forever . I WOULD NOT CHANGE A FUCKING THING. I REALIZE I AM JUST A CARETAKER SUBJECT TO DEATH. The car should roll on after I die . I would put aside the stock tires and buy soft compound drive tires. Have some fun side stepping the clutch for some tirespin . I would have the car for the epic styling with the sheer excitement of being part of history . A big thank you AND a huge hug from one passionate lover of muscle cars to an even bigger one You , sir are one of the best . God bless our country AND you .

A friend of mine bought a early SS 396 i don't remember which engine model but he said it had some aluminum parts, well it was a four speed , and he could not or wouldn't drive it, so I went to retrieve it for him, after a short time , he said please see what it will do , I was a Mopar man, but I'll tell your, it had to be about a 4/11 rear end, it was a beast, it was hairier, than a grizzly bear , in a raccoon coat, it would sqauk the tires from 3rd to 4th year!!!! It revved like a tornado , what a car, we drove it till it was low on gas, his eyes were like cups & saucer's, I'll never forget driving that Chevy, I ended up buying a 454 !!!

[@ra5gto]

Glad to learn about the tachometer discrepancy, that would have thrown me off as an amateur in Chevelles Getting tripped up on something like that could get the seller insulted and make you lose a buying opportunity. Could you imagine losing a purchase on this car because of the tachometer not being correct??!!

[@soulsofpresentgracethompso5990]

U R blessed PGN. Congrats!!

[@lewismocaby3646]

Definitely well optioned,rare as hell and extremely well preserved. Someone knew what they had which is almost unheard of. They used to be all over here in Southern Illinois but now I only know of one 70 Chevelle in my area anymore. Guy won’t come off of it,it’s a 350 SS badged car that’s sitting outside on jack stands with one rear drum pulled off and has been that way for about 8 years that I know of. Same guy has a 70 GTO and a 71 GTO one of which is wrecked and sunk in the ground in the front yard. Congrats on your find and making the deal.
