[@sun450]

As usual sir you are the MASTER. I was a technician in the Chevrolet dealership here on the Oregon Coast from 1966 thru 1972, and I have to tell you that these cars you feature bring back a whole flood of memories, THANK YOU SIR......

[@cew142]

dave C: i bet you had to fight your other coworkers to work on a car of that time...

[@sun450]

cew142 not hardly..... the other technicians at the dealership wanted nothing to do with those cars with as they said NERVOUS MOTORS.... in 1966 I was just a snot nosed kid of 18 years old, I was in heaven,,,, I got all of the high performance cars ....... NOBODY would touch them,,,,,I loved my job😃

[@cew142]

dave C i bet you did love your job! I would have too..

[@sun450]

cew142 the best part was when finished with repairs I JUST HAD TO ROAD TEST THEM.....

[@gerry-p9x]

Racing truck motors ol timers called em ate valves and guides rapidly. Those hi po cars were thrashed. And beat and then junked or stripped......Sad

Thank you for taking the time to show us these incredible cars that we would otherwise never get to see.

Another awesome chevelle. Thank you for your hard work Patrick. Some guys get the good jobs

[@commonsense7057]

This is a beautiful machine. Ive wanted one of these for as long as i can remember.

Nice! I worked with a special order paint "Hugger Orange" 70 Chevelle, not on the order sheet for '70. Great car and nice find here too

[@MrChristianbowman82]

This video just motivated me to go drive my 68 SS that has been parked all winter

[@chevken1831]

I don't know how you manage to keep finding these Chevelles. I'm becoming fascinated by this particular year, make, and model.

[@archiebunker6059]

Digging that dual snorkel, never knew they had them, and don't trust old tires, no matter how nice they look .

[@cuzz63]

I wouldnt trust those old tires if they were brand new...its crazy how we drove back in the day on those tires.

I was born in 67 so I grew up these cars, but did not appreciate them until the 80s. Wish I bought one of them. Had a 72 Nova but I crashed it. I always wanted a 70 Chevelle. Love the quad headlights.

[@freebird7284]

When I was 18, you could buy a ten year old 70 chevelle SS 396 for about $900.00, an LS6 would run you about $1300.00, I bought my 70 Buick GSX (car #125) instead for $1800.00....

[@markwegner6100]

Interesting times. I was 16 in '86.

[@brianthompson2662]

My first car was a 1968 SS Chevelle. $1150. Drunk driver took me out in 1992. My friend found it in a barn 30 miles away, still crashed. Some guy is hoarding Chevelle's.

[@silverstar4289]

My Superbird for 2500. Yep a muscle car with no rust in the quarter panels was an 1800 dollar car. 1200 would buy a pretty good lower miles ride.

[@brianweber6112]

Nice job Patrick. Thank you for detailed information. You’re a good teacher.

[@w41duvernay]

Patrick, It would make sense why people in Pittsburgh wanted a Chevelle with gold stripes with a black paint. They were all long time Pittsburgh Steelers fans. The LS6 look pretty good with the chrome valve covers and the OEM dual snokel black air cleaner.

[@ursiny33]

The Steelers color NFL

[@kickit59]

Patrick this is a pretty cool Chevelle! Looks like the owner has a 69 RS Camaro in the garage as well! A pretty lucky guy!

[@wesfrazier5739]

Its a miracle any of these survived at all. They were eight hundred, thousand dollar cars throughout the eightys maybe a little more with a four speed high school parking lots were full of em.

[@22kpar1xcyberdyne9]

My two older brothers bought many classic cars for $1500 in the mid 80s in Florida. Then my brother sold his freshly painted 57 chevy 2 door post for $3500 and he thought he won the lottery. He also bought a running Rambler for $150 out of junkyard. Lol.

Cool car. I remember in the early 80s me and my buddy punched off at 40 mph against a 1970 chevelle ss with 454 badges. Car was white with green stripes. It left us like we were sitting still. Never saw that car again, or another one like it. I'm thinking it was a fresh custom paint job.

Mr. Nichols I always enjoy your videos, as they are very instructive. I have been wanting to ask you this question. Do you own any Chevelle's? If so, could you do a video on them? Thanks!

[@CORVAIRWILD]

1st!!! And I have a yen for an LS6 ElCamino... I've seen a number of GM cars over the years with special paint colors. Including a 1964 Riviera with Chrysler turbine gold, and a 65 Catalina 2 + 2 convertible ordered for a GM executive, very low vin, with the same Chrysler turbine car gold.

[@jeffreyb6165]

Hey Patrick, for those tags that are hard to make out maybe you could keep a piece of paper and pencil handy so you can lay the paper over the tag and gently go over the suface with the pencilto bring out those hard to otherwise read numbers/letters. I feel like a fool giving a tip to a pro, and it could be something that you already practice, but just in case I wanted to pass it on. Another great video and much appreciate all the hard work.

Lovely Chevelle; wish there was a picture with the white stripes. Why did the dual snorkel option exist? For oval track performance was this preferred over cowel induction?

[@markr831]

I had a 1971 Chevrolet sport coupe with bucket seats and a floor shifter with a console. It was painted in Aztec Silver which looks a lot like this car.

[@ozzstars_cars]

Oh man is she a beauty!

[@donaldfuller5041]

I had the same question on the holes in the hood in a buddies 70 SS. Can you say that is original hood? It's funny my buddies could be the twin. The only thing different is he put a 427 in his after blowing up the original 454.

First things first, these videos are awesome, can't get enough. Someone help an old Ford guy out, how many different plants actually built these things??

[@dezznutz3743]

Maybe I missed it in the video but it is the current owner to blame for the vehicles new paint configuration? On the build sheet someone highlighted the uniqueness of the paint scheme by circling it. Was it by the new or previous owner?

[@Clearanceman2]

Black with gold in Pittsburgh is for the Steelers. There is a museum in Myrtle Beach SC with all sorts of classic cars and the guy has a SS Chevelle with Carolina blue with white stripes for UNC.

[@johnmilner7603]

I wish that GM made the ZL2 hood and the gauge pkg std equipment and raised the price of the SS. With these 2 RPO's, it just makes the car. That pass door looks like a different shade of paint unless it's the lighting. I'm surprised that the people that ordered these cars new didn't want the gauge pkg or ZL2 flapper. With the ZL2 you automatically got hood pins. Hood pins did not come on non ZL2 hoods. Nice car, I wonder if the M22 has an overdrive unit mounted at the end of the tail housing due to the extra shifter leaver.

[@barnabyjones5161]

That aftermarket shifter is an eyesore.

[@robkal56]

As is common with cheaper repro parts, the quality is lower. With the bumper, those sharp lines are harder to stamp, requiring more care (binder force & stamping speed control) to draw lines like that. It is/was common for special order items to come from a few select dealers as they took the time to learn how to use the special order system (e.g. Yenko). As he notes, the scarcity makes these cars that more desirable.
