- Parked since 1991. Forest green with a white vinyl roof and white squared outer corner D88 hood and deck stripes 1970 Chevelle SS396 L34 M40 3.31. Built the 3rd week of May 1970 at the Arlington, TX assembly plant.
Very cool color combination!! Would look very sweet restored. Thanks for sharing!!
Shame that it won't be sold and more than likely will not be saved. Always loved the SS and great find!
Nice watch. Thanks for sharing this. 👍
What a beauty. I love green on white with green guts.Not near as many of these good old muscle cars got crushed as people thought. Thank you for finding them and giving us hope of finding one too.
Like vinyl tops on certain cars/color combos.
Shame this ones so crusty Id cringe to see the inner panels. Not sure its worth fixing
Thank you Patrick
Ours was a bench seat column shift 396 car.
Great video as always, Patrick.
Another great barn find. Thanks for sharing Patrick
Thanks for watching
Keep em coming Patrick!!!!
Another great video. Sad thing so many of these classic cars that are not for sale will continue to rot away where they sit. There’s a 69 Chevelle SS sitting forever where I live outside that they don’t want to sell rotting away.
Same when I do ask they get mad
Described my friend perfectly. Bet hes got over 50 cars all over LA....been trying to buy his 67 SS since I was in my 20s...sits outside in hisyard now has rust holes in teh top. So sad!
Looks good! I found 2 build sheets to my 71 Lemans GT-37, one behind the dr door panel and in the bench seat.
Only seen a few in real life since the 70s. Rare one you got there!

I believe so. I had 2 of them over the yrs. In 1970 1409 Tempest models were made. I have currently a early 1971 model, the other I had was a later 1971 model in which there was 5802 made. GM A bodies are great cars!
Very cool find. Thanks for the video👍
PGN!!!! Love your clips!!!!!
Saw that car the other day on 79 on my way back to Taylor Tx and thought about stopping. Now I know it’s not for sale! Lol
Thank you for the Video Patrick, all the best to you.
Love knowing these original cars are still sitting in barns out there unrestored
Thanks for taking us along for the video!
But what good are they in this condition?
Good thing, it's in restorable condition.. Will take some $$$ but I'm sure, worth it..

Not worth the money you have to put into it
Great video
💎 in the ruff 🏁
At least it's sheltered.
If you’re in Texas you should check out a guy named David Wooderson in Austin. He had a 70 ls6. He called it Melba toast. 4.11 posi trac, 750 double pumper, bored .030 over, 11:1 pop up pistons, turbo jet 390 hp, we’re talking some muscle! He used to hang out at the Top notch, Emporium and moon tower on Friday nights.
Yeah, but he got it from a comic book...next to the sea monkeys.
Hey man, watch the leather...Dazed and Confused .
‘70 LS6 was rated at 450 hp
I had a 70 SS396 Doraville Georgia assembly plant. White with black stripes and black vinyl top. No cowl hood, no gauge cluster, open diff, ac, bench seat column auto. Weird thing was the upholstery. It looked original because of rips and showing foam on the driver's side front bench. But it had vinyl Monte Carlo upholstery front and back seats. Build mistake, or supply shortage?
listen to that door shut, like brand new
as we all know. patrick will most likely find and make a video of the last oem unrestored barn find 70 chevelle and i hope to be able to see the video. after that its all new aftermarket bodies and im glad they are being produced! way over my budget but at least being made im so glad i have my 70 chevelle. 20 yrs owner so far.
Nice ride.
Pretty cool Chevelle. Great Texas car!
I agree!!!!
Cool Chevelle!!!
Cool…?????
They must have had a few kids to want to order a bench seat column shift car. 😊
Bench seat was less money
that's why they git kids
Nah the Buckets were a option that you had to pay for.
I like the rare option trailer hitch
On these cars usually the build sheet will be located on top of the gas tank...Had a '72 Monte Carlo same color combination .
My Chevelle SS 396 was built in Arlington Texas on the 3rd week of April. One month before this one. The question I have is did all Arlington built SS cars come with square corner stripes?
No they didn't. my ex brother in-law collects Chevelles and has several made in Arlington without stripes.
There are millions of these kinda cars in the US....my boss has around 20 rare projects mostly GTO's, 3 are Judges.
I can't understand why GM used 3:31 gears in these rare SS Chevells. It would do 70 mph in first gear.
Patric, I appreciate all your effort.
Because the base 396s were relatively mild low and mid-range rpm torque engines and you didn’t need more gear to get good street performance. You could also order lower gear ratio options if you wanted.
My father in 1971 bought a brand new Chevelle 4 door with a 396. He bought it in Oklahoma and sold it 1982 in the panhandle of Texas in Skellytown. It was Candy Apple Green
In 1971 that would actually be a 402 not a 396. Decent engine for that size car.
I bet that car was ordered by an older person, maybe a young professional or somebody with a family . It's amazing that it's been preserved all this time .
rest is fabulous drivers seat has huge rips
331.was a factory setting of the ss396 motor for the ED.andEf motors.on the 12 bolt rear ends..most 325 and 350 cars are set with 331 rearends.for 66 and 67 cars and later models
My friend has a 67 Chevelle in her garage straight 38000 original miles her brother bought it off the showroom floor the last time it been driving I was in 68 because that's when he passed and it's crazy nothing has been changed been there man to see something like that it is just amazing I wish you would sure let go of it but she talked about that she's not going to let go of it if interested I might be able to slide somebody that address
Would like to have address,can check from time to time,she could change her mind or need money some time.Thanks for offering . Sold my 70 chevy after first child,now 69 but loved to have this project. Thanks again.
Don't know if anyone has asked this before but did all Arlington Texas built SS cars come with square stripes or was it dependent on who was painting them on the day they needed stripes added?
I thought for sure it would have white interior, seeing as someone selected the white top and stripes.
There are old muscle cars all over the country sitting in barns and sheds that aren’t for sale and the owners will never do anything with them they’ll just rot away. What a waste
NOT FOR SALE.
there are plenty of 70 chevelles that are for sale. just not this needing restored one.
Give us more videos!
I’m curious if you ever run across someone looking for a correct dated or coded L78 block. I also have a set of 69 dated 840 heads. The heads appear to be untouched.
There is a 1970 SS Chevelle 396 in my area. The guy is kind of funny acting over it. Has own it for 53 years
Yup, there's one by here too. And his is also green.
Was Steakley in Temple related to Steakley in Dallas?
My Dad bought a 69 Camaro off the showroom floor in Dallas.
136Vin an SS ????? I thought they were all 138s
Someone did their best to take care of the car and hope you find a build sheet in decent condition.
If that's taking care of a car, I'd hate to see not taking care of one.
Chevelle ss (probably low rust) in a Texas barn? Wow... great find, great car....
“Probably low rust.?? Did you watch the video.??? You can stick your finger through body parts of this car.
@@Jimmy_Cavallo I didn't say no rust... he said super low rust.. what part of that didn't you understand?
@@user-qr7ee2cp4y What tiny spot on this car do you NOT see rust on.?? You obviously did not watch all of this video.
@@Jimmy_Cavallo here come all the "experts"....
ohhhh my god
👍
If ever interested and up north... i have a cousin in SW ND that has a white 71 chevelle SS LS5 454. 4 speed. with original AM/FM radio and cowl induction. COMPLETELY original and very presentable that spends ALL its time indoors. We can get a hold of each other if interested. Would make his day if it was video worthy. I have a white 70 Malibu 2 door but not as cool as his.
he has his contact info in most of his videos.
Did you find the original owner ?
Dude you sound just like Matthew mcconaughey haha and its funny he had a chevelle in that movie dazed and confused. Nice car though
Everything is for sale just need the juice for the offer!
Alotta rust though
396 motor?
Is it for sale?
Will be restored one day.
No it wont. Thats why its in the condition its in.
You the owner? Do you know the owner? If so you can say that...if not just keep comments like that in your own head
Most likely will be fixed up again or maybe the owner will get buried with it. Been working around cars over 40 years. Someone might sweet talk the owner into selling one day. That's how the game works sometimes. I'm sure you'll be happy if someone rebuilds her back.
@@joshuajesch7154 Sorry Saddam Hussein, but I can say whatever I want.
I wonder how many Dodge HELLCATS will look like this in 50 years?
Good find l..I was born in 1970.. Since then my parents put a few $ in a savings every week so when I turned 16 I could get a car..Well I bought a #'s matching near mint 1970 Chevelle SS 396 Black/white stripes 4 - speed cowl induction with 33,200 miles for $5200..I had the car now for 36 years (still all original with 91,000 miles in very good condition) I've had multiple offers of $50,000+ but I'll never get rid of "Her" ❤
I wouldn't get rid of her either, these older cars were built to last for decades and you will never or ever find any of them that is in good or descent condition. I have a 72 Chevy Nova that needs quite a bit of TLC, I bought it 2 years ago for 1,200 in San Antonio. I don't have the money to restore it the way I want to do but I wouldn't get rid of it unless the price was right for a car like that. Muscle cars will always be the best.
Got to be the smallest exhaust I have ever seen on performance car.
4:33 'Not for sale'...oh come on Patrick...everybody knows every muscle car IS for sale...at the right price...
Is this ss for sale
This is not a barn find. It has been rode hard for 30 years before parked. A barn find is a car granny parked in in 1970.
Incorrect statement
It looks like it sat outside with the windows rolled down for “30 years”
How exactly do you know that car has never been outside of Texas?
Info from the current owner stated this
Sooo.... What is this car worth in this exact shape at this time? Just a Ball Park???
$3k tops
The car sits 1 mile west of the Milano on US 79. He will never do anything with the car and neither will anybody else as long as JPY is alive.
Sure is nice to know they can still be found. I know the days are coming which you will not but I hope it’s not in my lifetime.
Been sitting there for years. Guy wouldn't sell it
my car sat for years in my barn and i didnt sell it and its back on the road now.
lol that needs ton of work
Too bad it's not an LS-6.
Rough shape
Dinosaur
Really hard to tell if it's a real deal 1970 SS without that build sheet
Hard to tell if it’s even a Chevelle under all that rust.
Cool car. But its totally farked. You will have to ruin all the originality of it to make it a driver.
Yea, because the "Originality" is in such fine shape.
with todays aftermarket. this car is definitely reasonably restorable! theres plenty of scrap metal on fb market thats not restorable.
💥There is nothing at all that’s exciting about this rust bucket.
Bench seat, column shift, automatic, no tach, green interior…?? Can it get any more undesirable than this.?? And did that “barn” have no roof on it for the past 30 years. The interior looks like the windows were left open for about six years . Sitting for 30 years means that it was only on the road for just over 20 years and it’s this hideous looking.??. So much for the dry climate of southern Texas and no road salt. What am I missing here because it’s taking more than just 1970 396 Chevelle.
Exciting enough to draw over 30k views the first day.
Sometimes the oddly optioned ones keep some character.
@@patrickglennnicholsmusclec1674 Only because of its caption.
@@goratgo1970 it’s the most least desirable 70 Chevelle SS of them all and a complete rust bucket. That mess sat inside for 30 years.??
