RARE LS6 SS454 Chevelle Gets My Endorsement!!!

Beautiful extremely rare Gobi beige with black vinyl roof black stripes and gold cloth interior 1970 Chevelle SS454 LS6 TH400 automatic 3.31 positracrion rear built the first week of March 1970 at the Kansas City, MO assembly plant. I inspected this car in June 2022 and will be issuing my endorsement.

[@3602go]

All things being considered, it's good to see a LS-6 Chevelle in good shape, instead of rotting away somewhere.

[@williamriley2528]

BUT IN GOBI BEIGE...??? WTF...???

[@3602go]

@@williamriley2528 Even better, an unusual color, not often seen.

[@freebird7284]

right, no matter how valuable it is.

[@edwardmoore5325]

All things considered I'd rather be in Philadelphia.w. c fields

[@deweygill1973]

Once again, another great tutorial, Patrick . I learn so much from watching these, just wish I could retain it all

[@lesmawson7298]

Same here!

[@scotmandel6699]

just watch the video again??

[@marklarson9436]

Anyone buying a serious unit needs to call this dude. Fly him in for a day and make sure you know what is what. Nothing against sellers. Most are straight shooters in my opinion. There are just so many ways to make a mistake when making an assessment. Big investment. Make the call if buying one of these things.

[@theariesexperiment4642]

I'm just glad it's not rotting away behind a double wide trailer somewhere in Tennessee. This car was loved.

[@JC-ec7ey]

The '70 Chevelle was a big part of my youth. My dad bought a Green Mist '70 Malibu brand new, and then years later I had my own '70 Malibu in Black Cherry, so I've always been kinda partial to those two colors, along with Autumn Gold. But seeing this one in Gobi Beige is really unique (in a good way) and the gold interior makes it a stand out. The fact that it's an LS6 is the icing on the cake (although I would have opted for the gauge package and a 4-speed). I've seen plenty of SS's in Cranberry Red, Fathom Blue and Tuxedo Black, but never in Gobi Beige - until now!

[@donshotrodgarage1717]

That's a real nice all matching numbers LS6! Nice job Patrick 👍

[@67stingray1]

Excellent job as always. Glad you're back presenting 70 Chevelles. Nice car.

[@mattdegrange6274]

Great Job on another tutorial again Patrick. Love the knowledge you bring to the automotive world. Learn a lot from the knowledge you bring. Great Job . Thank you for everything you do.

[@littlebuddylee]

Thanks for what you do Patrick!! Always love watching your videos and listening to your knowledge. There’s really nothing else like it on KZbin. Keep it up

[@jimbucci3474]

Thanks Patrick for showing us another incredible car.

Beautiful car and great job as always Patrick.

Thank you for showing it, Patrick!

Cool as hell.....thanks for the video. Have a great summer!!!!

[@zacharyharbridge9231]

Absolutely gorgeous colour combination, love it! Thanks for all the work you do!

[@adriantomlin2902]

Very nice example of an original 70 Chevelle SS LS6. Wow! Very cool unusual color combo too. Excellent work Patrick Glenn Nichols. It's awesome to witness an original GM piece.

[@bradpoole7018]

Absolutely luv your videos huge 1970 chevelle fan u do them a great service

[@terrymcendree3899]

FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME, RECEIVING YOUR VIDEOS.... GLAD TO SEE, THANKS PATRICK !!!!

[@monsterblue7453]

Another great job Patrick, keep it up, sure enjoy the videos and all the detail you provide!

[@Cartier_specialist]

Thanks for getting your audio volume dialed in. That's an unusual combination of options on that car. Halfway surprised that someone didn't swap out the bench seat for bucket seats and a console and so many other things.

[@31847448]

A rare car. Only 8880 made in 1970. And now only 10,990 are left

[@Seasonstobecheerful]

Nice report Patrick, love these documentary inspections. You are a legend!

[@scotmandel6699]

LOL

[@rogjackson]

These never get old.

[@Zr1Destroyer]

Almost looks like butter nut yellow in the video. Very cool 70

[@milla698]

Patrick you are very knowledgeable about the chevelles. They were always my favorite 😍. I had a 69 gto 400 4 speed that I loved but gas prices back then , and a family forced me to sell it

[@johnwickouski112]

You have a good eye 👍👍. Thickness of the ss badge. I learn something new from every video I watch . Thanks for your time and effort

[@donferensic7482]

I love the rarity of the bench seat and column shifter!!! In my opinion i think this is sweet!

[@chuckeecheese162]

I had a guy I worked with who got ls6 same color with no stripes, in high school. Same interior and column shift. There was a solid black 70 that sat in a driveway off the highway in a little town. Solid black original paint so it was interesting. I was always going to stop and look. The guy I worked with stopped and looked. It was a SS 454. He knocked on the door and asked the lady if it was for sale. She said if you want it today is the day. $500.00 (1983$) he said I’ll be right back. Paid and popped the hood. LS6. So he sold it to a guy from Chicago. Tool maker I believe. If you ever see her out there.

[@chevelleranch7481]

Another great car! Thanks for sharing! Man is that lift slow to go up!!!

[@ralphgillikin3987]

Great job I’m a Chevelle man myself I have a 70 and my son has a 70 keep out a good work

[@toddschelbrock9828]

Another great vid of a beautiful Chevelle!

[@MikeBrown-ii3pt]

With all of the "defects" highlighted in this video, it would be a very hard decision as to whether or not I'd allow this car in my garage...lol, no it wouldn't! I'd LOVE to have it! Beautiful car, incorrect parts and all!

[@zairomolino4074]

Yeah it's a turd, if the owner wants to get rid of it I could take her as long as I get some cash for the disturb

[@honiswagner7674]

beautiful car! The color has really grown on me!!!

[@mick_1949]

Yeah, I love it. Beautiful thanks

[@131313x]

this is this first gold interior that i have seen that i actually like to look at!, would had been great in a black car i bet. i guess all the others i have seen was well past their prime lol!i normally hate gold in them!love the videos, i always learn something!

[@Anthony-ue4zm]

BEAUTIFUL

[@yotagang3705]

Glad to see another video, love all your videos and your wealth of knowledge. Having said that I hate Chevys I dislike them. I just love the way you do all your videos. Keep up the great work!

I learn so much from theses videos! 😎 wish I could find one for me.

Goodday Patrick Another quality video. Cheers Louis 👍

[@zulumagoo1]

Gotta love love it when the most technical vehicle verification guy you follow, throws in a little of my level of info. "...With the "idiot lights"..."

[@americafirstmaga5073]

Welcome back Patrick, hope all is well. My favorite car in the world. Nothing designed better for power, looks and handling in one package. I'd take a 70 ss 396 and be happy, a 72" with a nice 350 is the closet I got so far. One day. For the record, I'm totally against this "green energy" panic, big lie.

[@zacharyharbridge9231]

Hey man, american muscle rules, but you don't get stoked on the amount of instant power and torque electric is able to deliver? Like, I love the chop of a V8, but I'm equally excited at the squeal/whine of an electric motor as it shreds the rubber of a tire! That being said, these machines are works of art and i commend the folks that keep these masterpieces in shape, they're the dream of motorheads all around!

[@timrayburn2461]

Great job

[@GMCAT4]

Who in their right mind would want a column auto and bench seat in a muscle car

[@backroom12]

I say the something but some guys just prefer the bench .

[@thud9797]

And dealers ordered these just to advertise that they had the lowest price on a new SS in town! 🤠

[@chaelodoul9401]

Been waiting for this!!!!

[@brianbonilla4830]

Beautiful rig.

[@texsurfer]

Back in the mid 70's my dad had a '70 LS6 SS El Camino with the bench seat and column shifter.

[@66427]

It must have been a ton of fun ringing these ss chevelle necks off the dealership lots

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

Alright, Alright, Alright!!! Damm dude, we believe you man, you prooved it, it's totally IT man!!

[@joeyg9967]

Awesome!

[@zairomolino4074]

What a colour!

[@garyaspeslagh3391]

That was a great review, thank you Patrick. One possibility is that the SS was ordered by a dealer stripped down without any options except for the LS6 package so they could have the car on the floor for perspective buyers. Oh, you don't like the bench seat? We can add buckets. Don't like column shift, we can add floor shift. Don't like the minimal gauge package, we can add a tach and clock. Color? it comes in red. End of year discount the car if need be. I've have a 70 El Camino SS, don't know if it's an original or clone, no docs. It's red now , but hints that it was Gobi beige originally. Thanks Patrick, I'm going to drop the tank to see if I can find a treasure.

[@kc0lif]

nice car i like that column shift don't see that too often.

[@alzinovik8775]

Another very informative tutorial video, I enjoy your expertise and knowledge of little nuances typical of the assembly plants that built these magnificent cars. Hey Patrick I didn't notice on the build sheet this was noted as a customer order so would you assume it was a dealer ordered unit? Makes me wonder the quantity of dealer orders vs customer order LS6 cars. Looking forward to your next video!

[@jeffreyhay936]

Great color

[@keithshevlin5427]

nice whip

[@davisdeen4039]

YOU have the BEST JOB IN THE WORLD MY FRIEND! WHAT'S BETTER THAN A NUMBERS # matching LS6 SS Chevelle ? NOT MUCH. ALWAYS GREAT VIDEOS THANK YOU

[@robj2704]

I ordered and bought a 69 Nova SS in gold (don't remember what the name of the gold was). I did order the 3:31 axle and, as it turned out, was a good decision since a lower axle would have made my 14 highway mpg impossible. This SS 454's 3:31 ratio was really a sensible choice, this being a big block car, as it would have taxed its LS6 at constant highway speeds.

[@coxgaspoweredtether]

Agree . Love Novas and Chevelles..Had two 70SS Chevelles, both 4.11s...Great for drag racing and round town, not hiway. I drove mine to drag strip , raced it, came home. Check out this older camcorder video I found of my Red One on KZbin.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHvUpKOOmpWfetE

[@richardarios5706]

badass 👍👍

[@mikeyerke3920]

The color!

[@alexanderspenser4960]

Always learn something here.

[@dzinlv]

My roommate had that exact car in 1992 😍

[@Clearanceman2]

Very interesting the person that ordered it wanted it to look cool and go fairly fast (but not that quick off the line) but he didn't care about anything extra. And I'm guessing not many people picked that color either. I'd be all over the black or red with stripes if I was buying one back in the day. With gauges and bucket seats and that very cool looking console shifter. Just really interesting, I bet there aren't too many of these with this combination.

[@deandee8082]

good lord that's a gorgeous car right there, all original or not

[@johndillinger8482]

what happened to that video where you found a restamped block in an el camino at VOLO?

[@brianlove6506]

I enjoy your vast experience and would like to offer a suggestion: have you ever tried carrying a lump of Silly Putty, or even PlayDough to use and make an impression on stampls that are hard to read? This would be a quick way to ensure that you are reading the stamps correctly.

[@mattwalker8747]

Nice

[@IamRemoWilliams]

I had a 72 Cutlass S with a similar black pleated door material

[@nickrice7535]

Shes a Beauty! May not be red but that's a very pretty color combination. Funny how someone could miss by putting an upside down S on the fender. Oh well.

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

Well it's Bout' DAMM TIme, Wooderbury!!

[@KVIIcolt45]

My favorite setup, bench with auto on the column. Maybe I’m weird but I love it.

[@ryanmac8283]

Rare color combo.man that car would look even better without a vinyl top.god I hate vinyl tops.

👍👍

[@coolbreeze5561]

A guy gave me one of those things to help him fix his roof. One thing after another broke on that thing I wrenched on it more than I drove it. Sold the pile of junk put a paycheck with the money from the chevrolet and bought a Ford Torino, what a difference that Torino was fast and always ready to go. Never had to walk home after I got the Torino nice car

[@robwwhit3453]

of course...lol

Some of the things mentioned in this video as incorrect may have been installed incorrectly at the factory. Not necessarily an indication that parts are not original or had been installed incorrectly after the purchase.
