Me Too ! Senior Year Auto Shop ! 81' Bought a 12-Second 1/4-Mile SS 396 THM-400 5:13 geared 12-BOLT and Made it Street Legal ( Street Racing legal ) LOLOLOLHAHA I got like 6 mpg with the 850 cfm Double Pumper !! What a gas Hog !! Lolol God Bless my Auto Shop Teacher Mr. Reagan for letting me keep it in the Shop until it was legal !
Heartbreaking to see such a great Chevelle sit and not on the street! Love the Chevelles of all types.miss my 70 model so much, but that's what teenagers do sell their cars then regret it in time!
Awesome!! Thanks for this vid. I had a 72 years ago that I sold before I got married and put that $ towards a house. I miss mine alot. Peace from Boston.
My Dad had a 1968 and a 1969 when I was young the 68 was a 396 big block car and the 1969 was a small block car but I remember them as a kid then he sold them because him and my mom had my sisters and my mom talked him into selling them but I sort of remember them the 68 was black interior and the 69 had blue interior and remember going to the drive in and laying up on the package tray watching out the back window that was back in the early 80's
That car deserves better then a LS. You can make just as much hp with a small block for half the money. You can fix a small block with a screw driver and rock, LS you need an electronic degree to fix it.
Sorry, but my father and I disagree. You need thousands upon thousands of dollars of aftermarket parts just to get a small block to the point of a factory LS, and there's still limitations that you aren't getting rid of until you go to an aftermarket block (Large cam bore I'm looking at you). As for the electronics... When you grow up with it it becomes second nature. I can't tune a carburetor to save my life, but you know what makes perfect sense to me? Fuel maps, spark maps, flex fuel compensation tables... etc etc. Besides, at the end of the day, this car has been in the family for nearly it's entire life. If my dad and me both want an LS in it, isn't that what matters? Lol
@@jlperformance1539 your nuts, I can make 500hp for a couple thousand dollars. I build engines for a living, unless you spend $$$$ on an LS it makes just as much hp as a small block. Check dyno comparison videos on here. Another good one is LS boys don't make me hate LS.
@bigbelconut I've seen plenty of dyno comparison videos to know that unless you're putting 2k dollars worth of cylinder heads, a 1000 dollar carb, a 700 dollar roller cam kit, you aren't touching a cam only 6.0 lol. Been proven time and time again, that a cam only 6.0 will dyno at 500hp +/-. Strap a turbo on and the bottom end stays alive north of 800 pretty reliably, unlike a SBC that needs blueprinted just to live at 500.. I suggest that you look up some videos on the LS lol
I've got a couple of videos planned for it, but unfortunately life kinda got in the way. I'm trying to find time (and funds) for the next step of this project!!
You have to remember, back in the day these cars were nothing special. How we view Escapes and Cobalts and such right now. Whose to say that in 40 years we won't be saying the same thing about a 2007 Cobalt? Lmao
@@jlperformance1539 Well the Mustang II for example Ik most of us still hate that car for turning economy in the mid 70s, but I do love the pony cars we have now and one day they’ll turn valuable also cause they had a shine of light in the performance world. I would rather have this or any old school 60s/early 70s smiles per gallon muscle as an early car than a Toyota/Honda.
I had 2 of them one 327 4 bbl /2 speed and one 2nd owner of a blue one like yrs with vinyl top last I seen one for sale at carlisle pa 18,000 almost cried lol great cars since I was born in 69, my blue was a 350 4bbl 3 speed auto, needs a driver lol
Bad ass brings back memories my first car was a 69 chevelle payer 600 dollars for it have fun and good luck with the car if it were mine and the engine went I would put a 454 or a 502 in it with a 5 speed or find a wrecked Camaro or a vet and put the engine trans and computer in it ls6 with a tunnel ram and fuel injection 👍
We broke in the cam the proper way. By doing a burnout in the garage. Hasnt moved in 30 years, new cam, new heads. Definitely was the best way to get it done! The heads are whatever came on a GMPP 350 crate. I forgot the casting numbers, it's been awhile. They're nothing special though.

Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station fuel pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime In German called the Bundesabgasbespaßungsverbotsverordnung.:-((()/(
The 69 Chevelle is my favorite car ever would love to buy it . I have a lot of good memories from high school surrounding a 69 Chevelle.

I love Chevelles and keystones! What a winning combination!

Unfortunately I wrecked my first car. And it was a rusty turd. Still doesn't stop me from regretting it! Lol
I agree 100%, young and dumb I done it 3 times ! DAMMIT !
I actually kinda felt like I was in the back seat, great camera set-up.
Wow I love the car awesome
Beautiful car and love the vintage rake look with the old keystones wheels and tires!💗💗
Always like the front ends on this year.
"Yeah my dad met my mom and kinda forgot about it. Yeah exactly, women. Anyway" best fucking line I've heard all day
nice , bring him back to life. have fun
engine looks really clean. no oil mess.
That dog Marked that Chevelle...... That's a good sign

Love this video. Reminds me of the 70 Chevelle that I had when I was in the Army at Ft Hood. Keep up the good work sir
Love the 69 Chevelles !
Quick update video will be going live later this week! Stay tuned!
That’s a dream to own a car like that
I definitely need to give it some more attention!
Love it , it is bad ass!
a friend of mine. had one just like that.. 327 small block.. and automatic..
This thing would be a blast with a 4 speed.

The keystone classic mags…….i am old as hell. Lmfao
Well done hope to see more of this!!!
I've got a couple of videos planned for it, but unfortunately life kinda got in the way. I'm trying to find time (and funds) for the next step of this project!!
We haven’t appreciated these cars enough back in the day when it comes to keeping them long term 😔

Check out some of my newer videos, plan is for a LQ4. Still trying to talk my dad into turboing it!
Go on route 66 that’s what I’m going to do with my 65 Chevelle
Cool video!
can we get an update video ???
Absolutely! Have you checked out the more recent videos on the channel?
Rebuilt the brake calipers pistons before road trip.
Dug it out of weeds, then it sat in the grass dug it out of the weeds.
Was in a barn- covered in weeds. What kind of barn was this? 🤷🏻
Dug it out of the weeds in the barn?
You guys break in the cam or was it not a flat tappet anymore. Also what heads are on that?
We broke in the cam the proper way. By doing a burnout in the garage.
Hasnt moved in 30 years, new cam, new heads. Definitely was the best way to get it done!
The heads are whatever came on a GMPP 350 crate. I forgot the casting numbers, it's been awhile. They're nothing special though.
I had a 1995 T56 Z28 LT1 just like that drop top that you have by any chance is that from Texas cuz it was stolen for me
From me a couple years ago just asking by any chance did it come with black wheels 19 inch offset
No dice, sorry. This is an auto LS car. No idea where it's from
what happened next?) you should leave the engine as is
Maybe. I enjoy bringing things into the 21st century, though. Check out some of the other videos I've posted to get an idea of what happened next!
Do u still have this car????
I sure do. Posted a quick update video on it a couple months back.
Is that the 350 motor? I had one that was a 307 it was a dog lol
Don't worry, the 350 isn't much better lol
Updates ?
I've got a couple of videos planned for it, but unfortunately life kinda got in the way. I'm trying to find time (and funds) for the next step of this project!!
put some graffiti on the house to match the burn-out lol

Unfortunately, almost none of it is original. Lol
I think $50K is a bit optimistic lol
rescuing a car that needs to be sold to the nearest junkyard...
Engines in the 60's were worn out at 75 k.period.
This one's actually running pretty solid. It's kind of sat since I made this video, life got in the way, unfortunately lol
