[@jeremyking6146]

I cant believe there are dislikes on this video! What is there to disslike? This gentleman is very knoledgable on pretty much every muscle car ever made lol. I learn something everytime I watch one of these videos. Awesome job, keep em coming!

Yeah they did !!

[@wallyirallac9433]

Jensen triax II was the best speaker in the 70's

[@JA-sm9zf]

Great car and great video. I enjoyed learning about the trunk rubber chalk marks and positioning of the rubber offset. The condition of the SS was amazing. Thanks for sharing. Juan in Virginia.

[@Roger-mz4lx]

Being a long time owner of a 70 SS 396 4sp Chevelle that is a great find. Mine is also Cranberry with but has ivory interior with buckets and a console. Thanks for sharing.

[@DavidSmith-ke1xb]

As always love to see your video's. You tell so much about these cars and it's out there for others to enjoy and learn from. Thank you bro

[@davidlandeck3406]

Survivors are so much cooler than even a top notch restoration in my opinion....thank you for your part in saving these cars👍

[@coxgaspoweredtether]

I agree I love seeing the survivors. Pat has great content for sure. I've had 2 of these cars in my life One was white with black stripes and the 2nd was red with white Stripes. Both were 396 cars. I sold them and miss them. I did come across a camcorder video of my 2nd one from about 20 years ago. Check out this link to my video with my Red car. Even more fun than finding them and restoring them is driving the heck out of him and that's what I did with this car. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHvUpKOOmpWfetE

[@waltershattenkirk3087]

New to the channel and I’m amazed how Patrick knows these cars so well. I had no idea that assembly plants could “alter” the build as they did/do. Excellent work Patrick, much respect!

[@werdCanada]

so much passion in your documenting

[@buddyv3457]

Have always liked the look of the Firestone wide oval tires... Looks great on the 71-72 Chevelle wheel also!!! Glenn, thank you for sharing, enjoy your videos on the Chevelles!!!

[@yavin99]

I know you put restored cars on here sometimes but its awesome to be able to see so many great cars 30-40 years after they been parked and how well they held up.

[@Robert8455]

You certainly know a bunch about these cars. Awesome hearing you talk about the details. I just want to wash it, polish it, change all the hoses, belts, fluids, brakes and fuel tank and tires, then spend a bunch of time driving it.

[@hmetaljustin]

I'm so glad I found your channel last year right around the time I purchased my first 70 Chevelle. Your knowledge of these cars is invaluable. It will really help when I start on the car. Thanks for these videos!

[@wiiambarnarx8485]

Wow! That car is so cool! I love it. I've got 1:64 scale models of the Chevelle in these colors: Red with white stripes. Dark Grey with Black stripes. Iced green with black stripes. Cranberry with black stripes. Cream colored all over. Black with white stripes. My favorite: I've got 3 favorites: Red with white. Iced green with black. And finally Cranberry with white stripes! Awesome, fantastic video!

[@chareshorton2956]

Those 396 was a hell of an engine

[@funnyfurfamily1513]

This is an awesome find. My first car was a 1972 Chevelle SS Red with black stripes and a black vinyl top. Drove it through junior high and High school my dad and I restored it, unfortunately my family fell on hard times and I lost the car back in 2010...I've been trying to find it ever since but it's near impossible without a VIN number.

[@IamRemoWilliams]

Excellent like the channel.Pat is a true professional.

[@kcsavers]

Beautiful car! Had a relative who bought an almost exact model new in 1970.

[@desperadolighfoot8534]

Nice car, especially standard. You've done the car justice! Tks 4 sharing!

[@cew142]

Thanks for sharing this video! It is not often you find an authentic original SS chevelle that well preserved. I am surprised it never was beat or blown up. It lived an easy life! 3.31 posi and a M20 wouldnt have been great at the track, but it sure would smoke the bias plys....

[@richludlam8993]

I remember some buddies in high school buying Chevelles and Roadrunners, these were basically 10-12 year old cars that you can get for relatively cheap... We had no idea... LOL

Yes, Chevelles were cheap back in the 1980s

there is u just got to be at the right place at the right time good place is old farms and ranches go therev when a new person buys one and u will be surprise what u can end up with at one place i got a 79 chevy short wide full option 4x4 with under 35,000 miles on it in mint condition been parked in the shop with running motors and 2 old camero's plus a few cars out side got all for free just get it out of there is what they told me even got the titles to them because everything came with the ranch when they got it 2 of the motors were 454 strokers with low miles one has a tunnel ram on it i get deals like this all the time scrap or strip the rusted or bad cars or have a scrap guy do it for u

[@yavin99]

A guy down the road from me has an original paint 72-74 Challenger sitting in his backyard, he had a beautiful pink GTS Dart at one time but the Challenger doesn't look rusty but the paint is lime green with a black stripe down the side and its a bit faded I believe its a Rallye.

[@cuzz63]

My buddy just located a 70 396 SS, its a mist green original color, matching numbers. He was able to get it started but it wasnt oiling and he is going through the motor. I told him if he repaints it stay with the original color.

[@offset24]

Awesome!! My first car was a 70 chevelle but not a SS, still I loved that car, keep them coming love looking at them.

[@WildSuns42]

This is the 3rd of your video's in a row i have watched, love the video's.... Brings's up memories,,, when I was 17 (51 now) some friends and myself were given a 70 ss big block that had been completely taken apart as someones project that had lost interest and just wanted it gone. So we spent all our nights over the course of a summer putting her all back together. Watching your videos bring the memories flooding back which is extra sweet as Im the only one of the friends who worked on it still alive.... Something that strikes me is even then it seemed like an old car. Not old, but no longer made like that you know what I mean. But now today looking at these in the videos they seem no older then they did back then. What I mean is this generation truly seems ageless to me as Im sure they do to a great many out there.... Back then and I guess still today my preference is GM but over the years Ive learned to see the value of all classics... Im currently trying to talk my boss into letting me unbury a 1969 shelby gt350 that has been sitting in his garage for 25 years. His dad was orig owner and a big time car lover and it still shows from what i can see that he pampered and dearly loved that car as other then dust and empty boxes on it it still looks brand new. the son, my boss, a lawyer is not a car guy at all in any way, he even drives a prius which i think says it all. But he loved his dad and knows how that shelby was his pride and joy so he still has it just setting there for decades... In another video you spoke of how these people just love there cars and cant part with them which is how barn finds etc are born... Your bang on that theory I believe... Love the passion for what you do and try to instill in the owners of these tresures.. keep it up, good job!

[@rhino3292]

Great video I love seeing these cars are out there still

[@radggs6961]

Man, that story brought a tear, in '69-'74 I worked for my dad who ran the New Car Dept @ Book Chevrolet. So he definately drove this 396SS, I probably washed it for delivery. After made ready for delivery it would have sat in the back row with the other high performance cars waiting for delivery.

[@paulg468]

Another great video, but we all want to know the stories behind these cars & how they ended up getting parked for years. Can you please start telling us the stories behind the cars? Thanks & keep up the good work.

[@davidsmith6541]

That's incredible good find

[@blackericdenice]

I just started watching your videos yesterday. When you raised the door. The first thing I did was look for the curve stripes. This is the first one I've seen. I was watching another channel and that car had square stripes. I'm a youtuber and live in Atlanta. I didn't we made these cars.

Damn someone was smart enough to park it for this long it's better then money in the bank anyway Nice find I'm surprised there are cars like that still sitting and hiding away still

[@rockabillyrods83169]

@Robert LaPointe like you said it's a story you were told .. Seeing is believing. There no such thing as a LS -7 Chevelle or Camaro or Nova ect. Yes they did sell a LS-7 over the counter to install in you cars back in the days. I seen and know couple ls-7 around we're I live and they live the muscle car era told me about the ls-7 over the counter purchased. The old schoolers still have some cool and rare muscle cars but won't sell them.

[@adriantomlin2902]

My 71 Novas carpet is the same. It has the gaps below each seat also. Just like the Chevelle. So mine is original also.

[@MrDjh66]

[@MrDjh66]

The wide ovals make the whole car I have them on my 73 transam

[@Roger-mz4lx]

Yes very true. I ditched the TA Radial's about 3 years ago on my 70 SS 396 and it looks and sits a thousand times better. Wide Ovals make her a whole different car.

[@pontiacgrandprix733]

Now that car was stored in a decent way, real nice

[@C.S.Sensei]

Nice, I'm partial to the forest green white stripes myself. I noticed I didn't see white SS letters on rear bumper, that's unusual. And that car was well enjoyed, Those pedals were worn to metal. I'd have to try and get it running., then correct restore and keep.

A 426 Hemi Cuda and a 427 Corvette that a hot-as-Hell blonde owned. She had "If You Can Beat Me, You Can Eat Me" painted on the spoiler. Tried more than once to do just that... I was hungry! Anybody getting close to finishing their time machine yet? I wanna go back sooo bad! That was also the only car, except for the one I have now and I'm 65 y/o, that I never got a ticket with.

[@SorryWereOpen247]

This is the type of muscle car you don't restore....Because of its originality, It's actually worth more the way it is right now ! A meticulous cleaning and that's it !....I wouldn't even worry about the rust area(s) which aren't bad to begin with. I've owned 3 awfully clean Chevelle SSs' in my time (2-1970s' and a 71') and the one drawback that all 3 of them had in common was the right-bottom portion of the back window where the moldings came together would leak water and start the trunk to rust. This one appeared to still be in great shape !....Did you make it out to the Lambrecht auction about 3 or 4 years ago ? I really wanted one of those big block Impalas' ! They weren't SSs', But Those that had Big-Blocks were all 396 turbo jets noted via the air cleaners and the "rally-flag" fender emblems.

[@alvinkarpis5755]

what car are you referring to? That Heavy Chevy is not that big of a deal.

[@jefflarsen9560]

twilight's last gleaming my brother and I walked to school every morning and we would sit in Lambrecht’s cars (the ones that were in town). The white 65 Impala SS 396 was my regular visit. It had a red interior and 3 miles on the odometer. It was heartbreaking when i saw that a tree limb had fallen on the roof years later. Same story on a 1969 chevelle ss396 that sat in a tree grove on the mechanic’s acreage outside of town. A couple of my parents’ former cars were sold on that auction.
