RARE!!! Tri Centennial Gold SS454 LS6 Chevelle Finished.

[@aldoavak9]

I'm not sure what I'm more amazed with, the car itself or your knowledge of the car/history/build specifications/assembly plant anomalies. It's obvious that this is more than a job for you, it's a passion.

[@danjarrell5040]

Absolutely beautiful. My Dad ordered his SS454 LS5 Cranbury Red, Black Stripe Bench seat M22 373 posi Cowl hood power steering, had no tach, in 1969 and took delivery in early '70. He ordered it with the T-10, but for some reason, they put the M22 in it, and before my Dad picked up the car, the dealer called him to see about paying the difference between the T-10 and M22. My Dad told them to keep the car then. but they said OK, we will hide the cost somewhere. We used it as the Family car for about 5 years, after that, it received some serious power up-grades and he started racing it. Somewhere down the line, he purchased an L-88 427, went 90 over, roller cam and dual 4's. He pulled the LS5 and swapped the 427. Eventually got into the mid 9's. Around 1980, he grew tired of it, put the LS5 back in and sold it dirt cheap, and purchased a 68 RS SS Camaro. Anyhow, Beautiful Car Patrick. Keep up the great finds and Video's !

[@danjarrell5040]

By dirt cheap, I mean $3500 bucks. Would be worth way more now, lol

[@danjarrell5040]

I 'think' it was ordered with the T-10, might have been the M21, it was a long time ago. lol

[@dalesmith8863]

Chevelle is the best car Chevrolet ever made. Bought a 72 brand new for $3500. Wish I had it now!

[@DerekFromBK]

I built a barn on my property two years ago. I have gone out to the barn every week for two years and I haven't found a damn thing!I don't know how people keep finding muscle cars in their barns.

[@ussindianapolis9137]

Lmao

[@cnyreview3632]

*Keep the barns doors open and place a case of oil containing a high level of zinc and a jug of premium ethanol-free gas just inside the doors. It's like using a salt lick to attract deer.*

I lived in Clarksville TN for 17 yrs go down 48 south towards Dickson county and you will find cars like this .

[@lukewalker1051]

That car is a masterpiece. I grew up in that era and my dad worked for Chevy Engineering and used to bring hope all the SS cars and we would take them out after dinner and run the wheels off them. I drove an LS6 with Muncie 4 speed. A wonderful car.

[@zooba1974]

I hate you, lol!

[@Kevin_747]

Beautiful. I'm old enough that I lived these cars in real time. In 1972 I bought a used '70 LS5 TH400 and proceeded to beat on the car like it was a rental. Lots of good ones got away on me, many people have that story. Thanks for the video.

[@jeffreyb6165]

This is one of the best, most accurately restored chevelles I've ever seen not to mention the mastery of the paint finish and stripes. This car would bring well over 100 grand at auction

[@jeffreyb6165]

@Jeff Spicolli Absolutely. Watched one recently go thru an auction that sold for $129k, but with this being a tri-gold edition there's no reason this car wouldn't be $150k or more.

[@donaldhollums3278]

Mr. Glenn, that setting has to be the best one you've come across for reviewing a car! No dirt, no spiders, no disgruntled landowners, no snakes, no trees or briar bushes to traverse through! Great film!

[@zulumagoo1]

I do like the car, but i have to say: You are THE BEST Classic Car Presenter. Im 54 and until now have just always liked these old cars. But even though i will never recall all these details, you sure give a simple man, a right solid appreciation for these old gems.

[@Drvanosdrand]

Patrick I'm from South Carolina and i was unaware GM made this Special Chevelle .Thanks for the education . what a spectacular Vehicle

[@chuckblack9410]

Agree, I'm from the low country of South Carolina. From Dec 1968 to Aug 1971 I was in Vietnam and really sad to have missed a lot of this muscle car era. However, I did have a 1966 GTO and a 19968 GTO, wife wrecked both of them.....got rid of wife! Only wish I could afford one of the following cars: 69 Road Runner, 65-67 Chevelle SS, 1970 Chevelle SS, or a 65 GTO. One can ONLY wish I suppose, especially at the price of them today.

[@antbout4555]

Chuck Black I have a 1966 Chevelle SS 396 convertible with factory power windows and top and sad to say but planning to sell. My daughters are not happy neither am I. You would not believe how may people commented on it when on road. Even had a State official follow me just to stop me and comment. The experience while driving it is unexplainable.

[@williamkerr8161]

That's the sweetest 1970 Chevelle I've ever seen. Much thanks.

[@mikesawyer4707]

I watched this before and I must say I missed a few details from the first video. I really enjoyed watching this again. What can be said, this Malibu is an iconic example. Quite possibly the only one of its kind in the world. Thank you Patrick. God bless.

[@davidmuse1351]

The ship anchor markings on the fender bolts, the tight-to-the-body super sport S's , "Don't shun the round tip yellow," this is some SERIOUS detail, Patrick! Yes!

Patrick I just wanted to let you know that I love these old cars with a passion just like you do and this car being one of one is a perfect example of how what you do means so much to me because had it not been for you I would have never known of this cars existence. It is a truly unique and beautiful car. In closing I just wanted to let you know that I really do appreciate you and your knowledge that you have spent a lifetime acquiring due to your love of the most iconic factory hotrod of all time. Thank you so much for taking the time to do what you do in order to be able to bring it to share with those of us who maybe aren't as fortunate or have the means to do it for ourselves. Thanks again you are appreciated and keep up the good work and keep those videos coming.

[@darkpassenger7064]

I've never been a fan of restored vehicles. I'm a hot rodder. However, when the restoration goes as far as to get paint over spray in the correct location. To me, this shows a level of detail that is extremely difficult to achieve. Totally impressed.

[@1lowriderman]

I don’t even love chevelle’s but your knowledge is amazing I love watching your videos

[@tubeofmystery]

Pro Tip! If you want to search the comments to see if someone else mentioned the same thing, keep scrolling down so that all the comments load (it may take several trips to the bottom for all to load). THEN... "Command F" or use your browser's main menu to "Find". Then type your keywords. I did this to find out what the strange emblem was on the front fender, located right above the turn signal. Rather than read through all the comments. I did a Find on the word "Fender" and found all 12 instances (now 13 - lol) where someone asked about this emblem. It saved me a lot of time!

Had CE factory replacement block, etc. Still have a copy of the build sheet and it had special instructions for painting the wheels the same color as the body. Even had the GM paint mixing codes. However, it did not mention anything about special palm emblems. Beautiful car Patrick. - Mark H. with Somernites.

5T_Outdoors excellent point, the paint never looked that good, the dash was never that shiny, the bumpers and chrome were never that nice! And besides I thought he only did barn finds? Not restored beauties like this one? It must not be a registered vehicle for him to do a video on it

That is the most immaculate Car I have ever seen. The only problem I see is that it looks like it's never even been started or driven. There is no evidence of heat being generated by the engine. I would not be able to resist driving this absolute gem of an LS6 Chevelle. Not to mention, I would never be able to afford such a restoration, or own such a rare example of a car. But, they are built to be driven AND admired!!!

I don't know if they were trade one, or left overs, but I asked my Dad why ours only had two head lights and those had 4 head lights and stripes. He said those were high performance cars and burned too much gas, so we didn't want one of those. If only we knew back then how special those cars would be. Another great video PGN
