The car was 16 years old. They were still dirt cheap

[@jasonshawver7228]

I don’t know I’d agree with you that these were “dirt cheap” in the mid 80s. In the 80s, PRICES (emphasis for a later point) for what I would consider “1st gen” muscle cars was escalating. In the 80s, we had the first classic car price “bubble”. For instance, in 1980, we paid $9000 for a 63 split window 340hp vette, about the same price for a decent NEW car. Not all first gen muscle cars were “cheap”. But alas, to your point, maybe the Chevelle PRICE wasn’t high yet in the mid-80s...I’m not going to argue with that. My point was based more on “intrinsic value” not PRICE. People knew by 86 an LS6 had “value” long term.

What a trip down memory lane. This could have been my video when I found my 1970 Chevelle (rusty red) back in 1997. The owner let me buy the car though, I believe I paid 350 bucks. I was so excited to own what I think is an elite muscle car. What I got was a complete rust bucket. The car was rusted underneath from firewall to rear bumper. It looked solid just as this one does. I pulled the body off the frame so I could make it easier to replace the floor pans and trunk section. Well, that lift only showed me more problems, the frame itself was just not salvageable. I poured so many nights and weekends over 2 years and too much money and never drove the car. I could not bare the idea of dumping it in a junkyard, I gave it away to someone else. Don't know what happened to the car but it is a crying shame that these beautiful cars sit like this for so many years. Mine sat just like this for 20 years before I stored it in a garage.

Hello Patrick, is there any follow up on the status of this car. I would seriously consider buying if the owner has changed their mind. Thanks

[@vance8565]

Patrick. WOW, how do you keep finding these gems. What a shame that such a prized Chevelle is just sitting there rotting away.

[@jeffreymerrill4449]

The rust is worse than it looks ,but LS6 car is valuable in any condition

[@bigmeaney555]

I won't sell it...I'm gonna let it rot away right where it is. Can't figure people out. What a shame. The owner's an idiot.

[@ThePontiac98]

I remember hearing of a 69 Torino 428 cj 4 speed that sat behind a barn with 3000 miles on it for 30 years story was the guy that owned it went to Vietnam and didn't make it back. And his parents kept it all that time as a memory of him. Until a friend of mine was able to get it the only saleable parts were the engine and drivetrain the car was so bad it about fell in half when they tried moving it. But the good thing was the engine and trans went into a 69 mach 1.

[@samueladams7798]

You get the, " I'm gonna let it rot right where it sits." answer because a ton of people were interested in the car before you got there. Nobody previous to you made a serious offer, but instead tried to rip the owners balls off. So, WHO'S THE IDIOT?

[@arabdriftvideofinder1658]

sometimes sentimental value is probably worth more to him than the few hundred bucks he'd get for that heap, i can fully understand, selling the car means that car is no longer yours to enjoy, thats hard for a lot of people with more than just cars, its called having human emotions

Although not a fan of these "newer" cars, it should not be left to rot. Certainly someone could cherish it and rescue it. The owner appears to be a hoarder.

Most people didn't know these old cars would be worth alot of money some day. It is a shame to see them treated this way though.

[@jeffbecker8716]

Reminds me of when I was in college. There was a guy who owned a hair salon around the corner from me and he drove a rusted out white '68 Shelby convertible... in the winter.... with the top down... with the back seat full of beer cans and full of snow. I asked him one time if he would be interested in selling it and he said $11,000. Keep in mind that this was around 1984, so it was only a sixteen year old car then, although yes, a known collectible. Maybe he figured he'd just have his fun with it at zero maintenance expense, run it into the ground, and THEN collect on the rising market.

Yup not for sale . Gonna fix it some day LOL ! Its just gonna rust into the ground like most !

Patrick Glenn Nichols, in 1969 the car wars was going on and the Plymouth Roadrunner was the fastest ever American production car, next year 1970 Chevelle decided to beat them, the big block 454 made 450 HP from the factory, add a higher lift cam and headers in a bigger carb, and you was looking at 500 horses Plus, in 1970 this was the fastest American made car ever, it would do the quarter mile in about 11 or 12 seconds depending on who's driving, and top-end speed well it was scary, then American government regulated everything and compression went down and horsepower went down after 1970, so this is the fastest production car ever built in the United States and the last of its kind, find a chainsaw and cut those trees down and pull that thing inside and start a restoration on this piece of History

[@kennydemartini2169]

The 1970 Chevelle would NOT do a 11 second quarter mile, unless you dropped it out of an airplane a quarter mile up!! Fastest production car ever built? There's new diesel trucks that would give that car a run for the money. What rock have you been hiding under?

[@jimthomas777]

Kenny DeMartini , you're telling me that the 1970 Chevelle wasn't the fastest production car that year, okay, then why don't you tell me what was the fastest production car that year??? and we're talking about the year 1970 and not about diesel trucks of today or anything else of today, you said you wanted to know what rock I've been hiding under, then tell me what was the fastest production car of the year 1970 ????

[@kennydemartini2169]

Buick GSX Stage 1

[@jimthomas777]

Kenny DeMartini , you're saying the 1970 Buick GSX stage one stock from the factory would outrun and was faster in the quarter mile than a 1970 big block 454 Chevelle Super Sport? because that's what we're talking about the year 1970 and the cars coming from the factory stock, we're not talking about turbo diesels and V10 Vipers and 500, 600 and 700 HP cars of today, we're talking about the year 1970 , so Buick at the GM headquarters published this documentation and everyone heard about it and everyone went and bought a Buick?

Back down south in Alabamy, my uncle has a '69 Mustang coupe just sitting on the side on the yard and the engine on the ground. Just rotting there and says Hell fix it up one day for his daughter, my cousin Tina who just died in a car wreck and my uncle who now has tubes in his face. I guess some people don't attempt to do what they say they will do or simply just never have the funds or want the time. Anyway, it's a coupe body, not a fastback, so I ain't too mad.

[@donshotrodgarage1717]

That is actually a solid car. Very unique being original white SS. Your a lucky guy to find them in there original element. Nobody would ever admit it but I remember in the 80s and early 90s no one wanted the 70 chevelle. For years the king was 1967 SS chevelles. So to see 1986 plates is about the time frame when you couldn't give them away. Keep up the awesome videos.👍

[@markwegner6100]

I turned 16 in 1986. We all had sixties muscle cars that were inexpensive. Not cheap, but doable. My 1st was a '66 Nova hardtop California car. 194 Six, powerglide for $500.

[@Mercmad]

@@markwegner6100 I was a teen in the ate 60's and where i lived, I saw a lot of US muscle cars, most were range topping versions too. Then the fuel crises hit home and all of a sudden we could afford them, often for peanut money because fuel was just too much to run them. I would say this car probably saw a few 1/4 mile runs too.] just like we did ,until they broke then we sought out something else. They were the hyundais of the late 70's by then, just worn out old cars.

[@markwegner6100]

@@Mercmad Very interesting! Thanks for sharing your history. It's stories like ours from a certain era that still keep me interested in muscle cars.

[@patdaly5769]

@@Mercmad Yep, my Cousin had a perfect 69 4 speed GTO, he sold it for 600 bucks in 79 during the fuel crisis, I would have bought it if I could have sold my 70 Buick GS455 in time, but nobody wanted it either. For quite a while there it was cheaper to just buy another musclecar rather than put an engine in one when you blew it up. Man if only we had stuck them in the back rather than taking them to the Junkyard.......We could be the ones being called a hoarder right now.

I have a black on black 67 ss with the 396, still have the numbers matching engine, although, it has a different big block that's been bored and stroked in it right now. I would love to have had this in the condition it was in when it got parked there. Such a shame to let it rot to the ground.

The guys that owned these cars in the 60-70s were like the kids that played with their toys vs kept it in the package, I know I played with my toys and I would have drove these cars hard but all these years later we never knew they would be so valueble.

[@lanceweir8145]

Whoever owned that car in the 70's must not have been too much of an idiot because there's no hole hacked into the dashboard to cram an 8 Track into or holes cut into the door panels for speakers...another telltale sign that a dumbass has been at it in the past would be air shocks, side pipes and fog lights--the "M/T" valve covers lean in that direction too...🤔

Too much of a very powerful car in its day to let it rot in any place that doesn't care about a fantastic American history of "quality made cars"in its days. A girlfriend I had in 1972 had a 307 V8 Chevelle in white. It sure put my '69 VW "Bug" to shame. These old "classics" should have been saved for future generations of true car lovers!
