- INSPECTED, ENDORSED and VIDEO DOCUMENTED!!! 1970 Chevelle SS396 L34 M40 comes out of hiding from a small basement house in Cincinnati, OH parked over 30 years. Cranberry red with white vinyl roof and white bucket seat interior with center console. Built the 3rd week of May 1970 at the Arlington, TX assembly plant. The car is currently undergoing a frame off restoration back to its former glory.
Those door tags were for warranty. When we did a warranty repair inside the door, we had to remove the tag and attach it to the repair order, then GM would pay the claim. No tag no pay.
Cool information 👍🏻
Because every quarter glass had to be adjusted due to wind noise. Rear seat r&i time before trim panel r&I time and the warranty claim builds. Had to prove you were in there so they had the little rip off strips and as stated, no tag, no pay! GM didn't invest in the time, material and labor for those tags for nothing.
@@J.C._2223Very cool information!
What an awesome way to wind down my Saturday! Thank you PGN!!!!
Do a video when he gets it back together also. Yes, she will ride and drive a lot better and still have that classic look! Best of both worlds!
Patrick, I find your videos fascinating. These are my favorite cars of all time and I hope to own one someday. The info you give out is priceless.
That's a great car and great color combination. Make sure the owner keeps all the original suspension parts. It hurts to see them in the scrap pile. Great video Patrick👍👍
The whole car should goto the scrap pile.
My first 1970 Chevelle was a Cranberry Red with White bench interior Malibu. Picked it up from the OG owner in 1990. Favorite color combo of all time. This would be my dream SS car...even with the "LOUD" white vinyl top. Another great video PGN!
even tho red paint and white vinyl aint my favorite colors, Id put this car back original just because its not common and would be, and I like the term "loud" colors. my 70 is dark green with white stripes, the oe interior was green but someone changed it to black several years prior to me getting the car.
@@MrChevelle83 Nice! My current ‘70 in Green/Green combo. Love ‘em all!
That's the car that started it all for me too! My brother in law when first dating my sister in 76 had a 70 cranberry red , white interior / top bench seat 4 speed small block car with a pumped up 327! I would give a testicle to find that car now if it survived! Loved that car!
Sir, Your knowledge and expertise in the Chevelle world is truly amazing! To be able to authenticate these Gems is quite impressive.
I look forward to more of your finds. Thanks, Kevin
All I can say is Patrick that you are amazing at what you do to remember every detail number and date. Just amazing. Love your videos.
Great Video Patrick. Love the knowledge you have acquired for these cars, and love it when you share it with all of us. Thank You Patrick .
Another great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for producing these interesting videos, great information!
Awesome thanks Patrick!!!
I love what you do for the true American muscle car Chevelles are getting harder and harder to find i salute you my dear friend
I noticed muscle cars are still plentiful. But most of them are parked rotting away in old people's property. Every time I drive out to the Texas countryside I see them out there with grass growing on them or in the desert. Even getting a hand on the shell would be cool. They probably have an emotional attachment to the car that they won't give it up
@@javiergarza8626 yes and even patrick has covered a couple of them rotting away and the owners are talking about fixing them for the last 30 years. If I knew I couldnt maintain my 70 id definitely sell it to someone that could take care of it vs leaving it to rot. ive seen this happen to several classics.
Love the videos... thanks
Hope it gets done right that place is a mess
i don't know that i would have fixed that particular car, defiantly a labor of love.
I learn so much
Thank you
Thanks for the video - see you in about a month in Chicago, I hope.
If Patrick talked about a Tesla in detail, I just might buy one. He truly shines light on details of a car to whole new level.
Pretty color will be seen coming and going ❤
Very nice 70 ss396 car..like the video..very good..r
Thankyou for info
Although this is a 70 car it reminds me of two brothers I went to school with who owned a 69 SS396/375 Chevelle. They bought the car together since neither alone could afford it. Also, it had total-loss insurance that cost them about $1,100 a year since they couldn't afford anything more. $1,100 a year for insurance was a lot of money back then.
Pretty cool car. I don't know if I would want my car being restored in a shop that is in such disarray as that one. All those original suspension parts should be cleaned and kept in a safe place, not on a scrap pile.
Patrick, was just wondering if you ever had the chance to look at Bob Hamiltons Red Alert Chevelle SS, were it was born and a build date or anything else interesting ??? Another great video.
Very cool Chevelle
No endorsement needed on my Chevelle! Thx anyhow. I’d like to see that car with the white vinyl top and interior!
I put tubular on my 70 SS El Camino but they match stock geometry (so you get crazy negative camber in a turn--his control arms look much better.
Awesome breakdown of another Bitchin 1970 Chevelle Patrick Glenn. I sure hope the restoration of this awesome car will be cleaner then that shop?! 😮😳
back in the mid 80's i knew where a Boss 429 and a Judge both were with miles in the teens here in Cincinnati. i think about their whereabouts often
Love your work and database mind ..even with chicken experts in the background 😂
Mr. Glenn, one day you gotta do a video on the completed Chevelles and other cars that have received your endorsement during the rebuild/restoration process so we can see the finished results.
now that would be awesome!
They pay him to come in and authenticate these cars...so he goes all over the country. So unless they are close by or they make the video and send it to him its not likely to happen.
@@cuzz63 yeah, it was just a thought.
Always fun when these cars turn up. Were parts like a transmission ever sent over from other assembly plants if the plants were short?
'68-'72 Chevelle my favorites ...
Due a show on my 73 Forgotten Cuda
Patrick, another great vid, I'd say you pretty much could do a fish fry right there
This should be a really nice car when it is finally finished.
This very well could be my uncles old car..... if i recall right, he traded it in on a Bronco or a ram charger
Patrick, the knowledge you have with such little details you think wouldn't matter is a amazing. 🇺🇸 USA1
And my favorite car of all time.
I was wondering do you ever get any competition that challenges your knowledge?
I never saw anyone disagree with you.
And the updated suspension I don't think hurts the car either way. With the LS 6 trans.
And the Turbo 400 keeps the value.
as long as the stamps are not altered or fakes theres basically no way to dispute his endorsement, and yes you could take a non ss car and get it real close but to stamp every component just right and age the components properly would be near impossible, so unless the car was fabricated 40 years ago to avoid the age problem you still would indeed have a true ss. and if 1 rivet was off or one thing not just right like the door for example patrick would definitely catch it.
His endorsement holds as much water as a bowl made of toilet paper.
@@pissoff234 the fact that your here being stupid without proof means you're just envious.😒😁😂
That looks like a 325 HP 396, if it is, it’s a slug, but still a very nice car. I ordered a new SS Chevelle in 1970, LS-6, Black, with with white buckets, and exterior stripes, 4 speed, 4:10 posi. I traded a 1969 Yenko Camaro I had from the year before. I enjoyed the Chevelle more than the Camaro. In 1971, I traded the Chevelle for a new 455 HO T/A, bad mistake, then in 1972 Ordered a new W-30 Olds 442, which I have to this very day, best car of the bunch, not the fastest by any means, just a better all around car.
Got a 70 SS how do you go through everything can you travel to check them out
Waited for you to show the difference on the passenger door lol
Any vids on the end results?
You acknowledging the chickens made me laugh
Hello Patrick , How do I document the chassis frame from the 65 Z16 convertible , I have a Book that shows the frame numbers for all 200 Z16 and the one Z16 Convertible, Every number matches , I bought it years ago for my 67 SS Convertible I'm restoring
Long shot here but do you have any info on 1970 chevrolet concours that uses the 70 elcamino front end
Could that trans be a warranty replacement???
That sure is a barn find when you here 🐓 😮
Hi Patrick, have you ever found a build sheet for a Arlington, Texas car?
I bought an all original all numbers matching orig. engine Arlington built 3rd week of May 1970 SS 396 L-34 Cranberry Red bucket seat cowl induction with A/C car in 2001 that had been stored in a barn since the early eighties super nice nearly rust free with shiny paint after a good buffing NO body panels needing replaced still unrestored today and we have yet to find the build sheet for this car. The original Dealership sales invoice was found in the glove box however, showing price and options ordered by the 1st owner. Would love to know what happened to that build sheet. Heard this is common for Arlington built cars .
👍
Good video, but panning the camera quickly can make people nauseous.
How many L34 SS Chevelles were built with A/C? I would think not very many.
Do you know what C6Z means on the big block Engine
We have a 1970 SS454 Convertible LS5 restored and owned by a nfl football player. It sits in a container out here in Central Oregon. Interested?
You have most of a car. Where’s the rest of it.
If I were doing bolt on mods, a warmed up 454 would be first on the list.
HOW DO YOU FIND ANYTHING OR KEEP EVERYTHING TOGETHER IN THAT MESS OF A SHOP. opps sorry
Jeez...that place is a mess!
Makes me believe that this Chevelle will not get finished. Owner should save all of those original bits for when the car gets moved on to another owner.
Lol.. judgy much. Difference from someone that works on cars to a guy that sits on his couch critiquing lol
@PickardvilleSRT8 see you're out there working.. NOT! I've restored 6 cars in my garage . I've worked as a mechanic for 35 years. If this is a buisness then it's a pig pen. Organized and clean is efficient.... but I'm sure you already knew that!! 🤭
I think i saw a chicken walk by smoking a cigarette and drinkin a Mountain Dew! Cool car though!
😂 Good luck and then done
car....car.....car.....car.....car.....car.....car...car....car.....car......car...
And one more car
To bad he ruined the chassis with those rubber band tires and wheels and lowered garbage.
How can you be certain that it's an "SS" Chevelle?
Sacreligous!!! Im from ohio we’re better than this. You dont ruin a factory A/C, white top optioned chevelle with that kinda garbage. Father Chevy made her perfect when she rolled off the assembly line. Period
yes they made the body and interior perfect but the brakes and suspension from the factory are definitely sub par. I replaced the entire suspension on my 70 and threw all the gm crap in the scrap pile. now it drives amazing and much safer on the road too!!
@@MrChevelle83 listen i understand. But im sorry the whole point of keeping these chevys and fords and pontiacs 100% OG is the experience. Being able to go back in time. And they’ll make you a better driver. The car doesnt do it for you like now. And you want better brakes etc?? Buy a NEW challenger or mustang or camaro. Or drive a cadillac.
@@New_Jax_City nothing for you to be sorry about, but ive been owning and driving classic cars for the last 25 years I disagree with keeping crappy suspension and brakes, its way more fun to drive a car with good brakes and suspension. My car was a death trap when I got it. Now that its been upgraded and with a tremec tkx 5 speed over that crappy weak 4 speed its more fun to drive now than its ever been in my 20yrs of ownership. My brother has an all original 66 chevy ll we scrapped them factory terrible drums and went to 4 wheel disk and it made the car WAY better and now that you can stop with confidence its much more enjoyble.
