[@scoobyroorogers]

Another real gem . Very cool learning about "up North " Chevelles and how they were assembled. Thanks Patrick.

[@chesterswingjr9796]

Rebuild the motor, wash it, and drive it!!! Even though it's kinda rare, it's not a paint, original, low mileage LS6. Drive it, and enjoy it!!!

Awesome car! Thanks Patrick! Love your thorough examinations of these cars. Great Video!

Glenn Patrick Nichols thanks for your work in researching these cars. That takes many hours and years to obtain all that knowledge!! Thanks for setting the record straight on all these cars?! Awesome!!

It was really awesome to learn how Canada documented their cars! Thanks for sharing - Juan in Virginia

Thank you Patrick, Enjoy seeing the 70-72 Chevelle SS's you find; I'm a subscriber..

[@brianbayer9746]

Had a 1970 SS in 1979. Was bought in Ontario Canada but was built in Baltimore. Was a code 48 green with white stripes & cowl induction & 454.

Nice one, great job. You always keep me interested, and I've learned alot from your videos. I keep on kicking myself in the ass, I've scrapped a couple million $$ of SS stuff years ago who knew they were going to stop making real cars. Thanks keep up the good work!!

Great video as usual Patrick . Don't ask me why but I'd want a U.S built Chevelle.

Sweet video could not wait to watch this one!! My grandfather worked at the Oshawa plant back then and my dad did back in the early 80’s for a couple of years too

[@mynameis9057]

Great video as usual. Did you know what was under the cover on the trailer next to it?looks like another chevelle. It's funny how many guys in the area had chevelles, camaros and mustangs in the 70s and 80s when we were kids and they were no big deal, now, fuggedaboudit! Weed throw them away on Friday night then get the newspaper on Saturday or Sunday and go get more for $100.00-$500.00 like nothing, dang,who knew? ▪☆☆☆▪

My uncle Rod used to drag race a 1962 Nova..I drove that car on a county road back in the late 80's...tubbed rear end, 14.5 to 1 compression 355...very scary fast!

And yes the older I get the more I love going fast. I worked as a State Trooper for years and always had a cruiser to drive ,so it was always a play car, never been snowed on always garaged, very rarely in the rain

[@v1nnyvice]

Awesome!

[@Canadiancarguy1987]

I got to be honest kinda ironic that an old Oshawa Built Chevelle turns up and fast forward to 2018 when Oshawa Gm is eventually shutting down, on a side note I really enjoy your vids Patrick very informative.

[@teggsrb18c1]

B.Y.G PERFORMANCE CARZ just goes to show how GM has lost its way. They’ve fallen so hard for cookie cuter SUV’s that’ll be forgotten junk in 8-10 years. As far as shutting down that plant, GM has sold its soul to shareholder profits which always boils down to cheaper and cheaper labor along with cheap materials. Sad really.

[@matthewmaloney5955]

we called that swirly stuff, rainbow tape out here in California, back in the 70's. Interesting note about he sway bars and ladder bars. did not know that. More pearls of wisdom from Patrick. Love those ol time stickers from the 70's in the trunk.

[@bobsilver3983]

That tape "swirly stuff" was called "Prism" back then...I had that on lots of things

[@robertlyman9789]

Space tape for me as a kid

[@TheHippie1962]

Vintage vehicle services in Oshawa also provides documentation for all vehicles that were assembled in the USA that were destined for the Canadian market.

[@deliveryguyrx]

Dig the prizim paper and the HiJackers decal--it screams '70s!! The AM 8-track is also a hit.

[@chejlr]

Back in high school, 1975 i had this exact car. They called me the Chevelle kid. Owned that car for a decade even driving it to Ga. from Ma. when i was stationed at Ft. Gordon. I ended up driving it back to Ma. where it stayed till i left the service 9 years later. Like most stories end i had to sell it when i started a family. Every time i see a black 70 SS i think about the great days of my youth.

[@davidblackwell6914]

Wow I had a uncle who was stationed in Ft Gordon he had a Red SS396 car.

[@MickPsyphon]

I grew up in Oshawa in the 70's; and was fortunate enough to see so many great GM built cars suped up, including this model! Just about everyone I knew was related to someone who worked at either of the GM Oshawa plants. There was always someone in the neighborhood, who was either restoring, or modifying cars right out of their driveways. Unfortunately, in Ontario, Canada, they throw down a lot of salt on the roads in the winter, in order to melt all the ice and snow; and back in the 70's & 80's, a lot of cars rusted away, as a result.

[@tonymalphurs3591]

[@steviedee71]

My uncle worked that GM plant for 36 years before that he worked at Goodyear Bowmanville.

[@MickPsyphon]

@@steviedee71 Great place to live, even now. I'm trying to convince my wife to move to East Durham Region. You get more house for your money there; and it's not so far from the GTA that you can't get what you need, when you need it. You might not recognize the GM North plant, though. They've torn it down completely. Built a plaza on the North-East corner of Adelaide Avenue; and a Costco based mall on the South-West corner. Not sure what they're doing with the South-East corner. Probably another mall.

[@girl-pl3wx]

Nice car !!!

[@joetree1968]

Hey Patrick as usual excellent job...i had a 1970 chevelle with a 396 4speed & 12 bolt posi unfortunatly it came originally with a stright 6 3 speed on the colum & 10 bolt...still bothers me to this day that i parted that car out...30 years later..my question is why do some of the "SS" cars have Malibu on door panels & some have SS on them???

[@kickit59]

Patrick awesome video of a very cool car! I could see the reason for preserving 40 year old dirt if it was totally original paint but since it's been painted once wouldn't it make more sense to make her perfect again? At least that's the way I look at it because you cant make the point that it's a totally unmolested car anymore! Anyhow let me know what you think!

Doug thanks man. This is what I say when guys want to imply the southern accent is a negative. That guy gets paid to speak so I’m ok with how I sound. It must be pretty good.

[@mafiaperformance]

Patrick, next big block car you film, can you go over the big block steering shaft? I’m told they are different from small block Malibu to big block chevelle. I’d just like to see your input on that if you could/would. Always watch your very informative and interesting videos. Can’t wait for the next! Thanks Tony

When did it become a crime to wash a car ? Dirt has been around since the beginning of time . There's no need to preserve it .

Question about the fan.. why are the 4 fan blades not at 90 degrees to each other? Does this type of fan have a fluid clutch if the car had AC? Just curious. Thx.

[@classicreaction5340]

Awesome find!! If you look at my videos I rescued an Oshawa-built 1970 GTO Judge, ultra-rare WT7 car, that was parked in 1978. I pulled it out of the barn in 2008 and did a frame off restoration on it. I am a couple hours south of East Aurora, NY.

[@CrashFix]

The broadcast sheet is definitely a good find, but it would be more valuable on a US built car. Reason being is you can get full documentation for Oshawa built cars so there’s no disputing what options the car was born with.

i had to chance to buy an actual Canada production car that was parked outside for years in 1993 , and it had the z15 on the cowl tag which at the time I didn't realize meant SS 454, what you meant it was one of only 300 SS 454 cars made at the Oshawa Assembly plant

[@marcperras9072]

I used to own a 1970 Chevelle. I should have kept it. It's a shame that GM is closing the Oshawa Ontario plant later this year. They made some of the best built Chevy cars in the world there.

Most I'd think, all Beaumonts came from Oshawa, we had a 67 rag for years. They built these because of tariffs at the time.

[@jordanjohnanderson]

I'd say most of the Chevelles sold in Canada were built in Oshawa. My Uncle's '70 GTO Judge was built in Oshawa(in Dec '69 too). Maybe out west they had California built, if they built them there.
