HIDDEN TREASURE SURFACES IN ALABAMA AFTER 35 YEARS!!!
HIDDEN TREASURE SURFACES IN ALABAMA AFTER 35 YEARS!!!
Unrestored survivor Gobi beige 1970 Chevelle SS396 found hidden in southern Alabama since 1985. Email pnichols26@yahoo.com if you have a 1970 Chevelle SS needing my authentication services or have another type of rare Musclecar you’d like to have video documented for added exposure.
Did this one end up at Volo, restored without the stripes?
Back in 85 you could have bought this car for around $1,000 to $2,000. How I wish I could go back in time. I’ve kicked my butt for not buying the muscle cars.
People complain about how it was stored thay should have this should have that screw that this is a dimond conseder it condetion perfect for restore I love to have it just like it is stop whining
Wow, nice car, any good fish frys out there?
i love those 70 ss 396 a/c cars you find esp when they are 4-speed.
I love this stuff. Great car. My friend Jeff who I bought my first 91 ZR1 from still has a 70 LS6 454 auto trans car. It’s the cranberry red and originally had a white vinyl top. At some point early on it got a replacement block. The car was driven at Englishtown back in the early 70’s and was local to the area. He’s had it since the late 90’s . He use to take it to a few local shows but rarely drives it now.
AWESOME as usual, Thanks for sharing . Keep up the excellent work.
Very nice.I changed the tail light lenses on my 70 Chevelle but kept the original flat lenses.
She’s a Beauty!!
My second week of January Kansas car has the flat taillight reverse area lenses
Cars are not born they’re built and I’ve had my share I’m the second owner of a 57 Corvette Roadster with a 4-speed I was restoring a 62 fuel injected Corvette tracking down every single numbers matching part correct part for the car awesome I bought my first 69 Z28 for the original owner with 40,000 original miles had an M22 Rock Crusher LeMans blue white stripes x77 I had two other 69 Z28 that were restored cars I had a 70 Z28 and a 68 L78 for Speed and many more and I bought my first new Corvette and I bought my second ZO6 Corvette and then I bought a 2015 ss1le Camaro and I bought a 2020 Mustang performance package 6 Speed people think that have these old cars and that their priceless and they don’t want to part with nothing and the way I look at them now after owning this new performance I don’t care if they scrap all that old junk it wasn’t born it was made and it was made to Decay and be replaced I know old muscle and I know new muscle in the 70s 80s and the 90s fine the 60’s muscle cars were it, but not no more for me I have my memories and that’s where old cars belong Memories the new stuff makes the old stuff look so Obsolete and plain and ordinary just the brake calipers on my 1Le or my Mustang brakes are phenomenal compared to this ancient stuff try some new muscle leave this old stuff in the graveyard let these people who have it think they got collector items and diamonds and gold the new muscle is where it’s at it’s phenomenal and where I’m at I will never look back at these ancient relics again I’m a driver I love driving my cars not looking at them I’ll never look back I’ve seen both and this is a New Era of high Performance and it’s phenomenal and fantastic if you’re a driver get a new high-performance car and you’ll never look at this old stuff ever again people like looking at their cars fine you can take a picture if you like driving them old cars are relics they belong in the garage a museum are somebody’s mind who thinks they have something special . Move forward! ! !
Do you know how many 1970 Chevelle SS LS6’s were built?
Thinking back, I was 6 years old when this car was made. Thinking about what I was doing then….A better time for sure
Glenn, I’m so satisfied and please when you identify the facts correctly which you are the master. The depth of your Chevelle knowledge is impressive and satisfying! I’ve owned nine 1967 Chevelle SS’s , first one in 1974 while my older brother had at least 30 of them, his first in 1970. I’ve seen literally dozens of unmolested originals and have had 3 of my 9 from original owners. Point is that I know 67’s as well as most and see the inaccuracies that abound. It’s just great to listen to your contributions and i appreciate your dedication and hard work! Nicely done Sir
I remember in around 1985 people would just stop driving these cars because of the unleaded gas. It’s not a good thing to use cheap unleaded on these. They were built for the 110 Ethel and others
**Circle Of Life **MR. Pearse from SS to a Golf cart.Always driving. RIP.(it up).
I like how You do Your Work ! I like how You let the Owner extract the build sheet from the rear seat too . Very exciting and rivetingly dramatic ! As much as , I , wanted to look away , I , just could not shut the video off ! Enjoyed the whole experience throughout 💓 " Heart Pounding " " Jaw Clinching " " High Adrenaline Ride " for sure ! Dude ! Son ! ! ! Thanks again Mr Patrick 😁 👍 Totally Awesome Job …. Take care of Yourself Brother ! " God Bless You " & " God Bless America " !
I did enjoy thanks.
So here we go!
I used to live maybe a mile from where they were building these cars. By the eighties they were pretty much done, and the whole neighborhood went to hell quick.
I got out after walking to the Quicktrip store one morning for a cup of coffee, and noticed a trail of blood, that became a pool of blood in front of every door along the way.
I never found out what happened or if the person died, but that was a severe blood loss, so probably not. It’s sad what happens to communities when major employers leave, without any effort to replace the business with something else
Thank you 😊
the best style Patrick ! Thank You
That’s a really neat color combo with the gold top!
Awesome find!
Sweeeeet Home Alabama !
Owner doesn’t have the capital to restore it. It’ll just rust away.
Where did you get the build sheet?
Oshawa cars are behind the back seat
The "Golden Ram" decals on both rear windows were aftermarket glass pack mufflers that sound fantastic on the 396. My brother bought a new 69 SS396 in Burnished brown and put those mufflers on his. He put the decal on his tool box.
Terrible color combo but nice complete SS
Nice 70 chevelle..really tight
.good restore project..L.34 396
….no snow on it..no damage.
want more chevells, find me in pa.
Love this car like to know can it be restored? If so that will be great.
nice 👍
what a shame , the dude owned this car for 40 years and didn’t drive it very long and it sat …….
May Mr. Pierce Rest In Peace.
We owe him a debt of gratitude for saving this vehicle.
At ten minutes into this video, YouTube shows a commercial for a ‘200 horsepower Kia Forte’.
I was not impressed.
Nice 70 chevelle..really tight
.good restore project..L.34 396
….no snow on it..no damage.
Can’t u stand why have a car like that and don’t drive it.
Great Alabama SS..!! This one is a keeper for a restoration..!!!!!
Where do you find these cars I can only find ones for $20000+
Is that a mouse on the underside of the hood?
Do all cars have a hold sheet hiding in them somewhere? Fascinating. Thank you for another great video, Patrick!
How much did you pay for this classic beauty? We really want to know what these cars are worth, what it costs to restore them and some after the restoration pictures.
You sir definitly know what ur talking about with these classic finds! Another great video keep them coming!
Did you see the baby mouse running round the bottom of the motor that’s real car find
70 Chevelles. What about 1971? :p
That was made a week after mine to cool
Is the mouse (at 1:33) washing behind it’s ears as it sits on the inner hood brace between the brace and the bulge in the hood "standard equipment on this car" or is the mouse a later addition? LoL At first I thought the car was going to have "a mouse motor" or small block!!
I love what you do in these broadcast! The history of production procedures and the caretakers who own them. I love any car from the muscle car era and own several awesome cars myself. If possible would ever consider covering early Trans Am cars? For me preferably 70 1/2 the John DeLorean inspired car. Your thoroughness in the way you go through the cars would be an asset to my restoration.
Thank you Tim
Long live the 70 chevelle SS . And all the great muscle cars
there must be hundreds and hundreds of these things left .
