Isn't funny that there is more LS6 Chevelles now than in 1970 ?😊

Lots of bucket seats going bad. But they look very complete for as long as they’ve been sitting. Good video! Always informative.

Cool story, bro. I agree with others that without the engine, dealer paperwork or build sheet, it can’t be determined if it’s a real LS6. Another thing is LS6 cars had a higher redline on the rack than other SS cars, but I see that the gauge cluster is gone.

No way to tell if it is a LS6 without the build sheet. A 396/402 car could have the F41 suspension. The infamous L on the tag is still a mystery. Thanks for sharing. I learned that from Patrick Glen Nichols, BTW.

It would be a big job but if that's a real ls6 Chevelle I'd sure like to make it my next restoration. Thanks for sharing this!

Impressed with your knowledge, great video.

Amazing finds and not far from me. I am always on the lookout for muscle cars. Thank you for your videos, really enjoy them.

Patrick Glen McNichol can be the guy to verify if this is an LS6 car. FYI in 1970 the Buick GS Stage 1 455 ran a 13.38 quarter mile in box stock trim and will give a great argument about what car was the fastest pure stock car built in 1970!!!!

Cool video lots of factory muscle. That Chevelle appears to be a original ss but nothing confirms it to be a LS6. All the 70 ss chevelles come with the thick front and rear sway bar. It was Parr of the f41 suspension. That car could either be a ss396 or ss454. I'm surprised you didn't do the cowl tag on the chevelle. Have a good one

Check out the 67 camaro below the yellow one stacked on top of it. The trim tag says 08A. That would be the first week of August. I’m not sure of the exact day that production began but this had to be close.
Correct me if I am wrong. I would like to learn more about it.

Good thing they did not let them sit and waste away.

[lylejohnston]

That's a F41 sway bar. The car has theF41 suspension option. It should have a rear sway bar, too.

Somebody needs to get that Chevelle the hell out of there. This needs to be Saved.

Exciting and sad all at the same time. Hope the owner is easy with his prices for these "parts cars".

My first car was a 71 El Camino. It got the hood, dash/ gauges and front disk breaks from a wrecked 70 Chevelle SS 396. I wanted to swap the 4.10 12 bolt posi rear end for the 3.08 10 bolt I had as well but the fuel bill would have killed me! Instead I sold it to pay for a paint job. No SS emblems or stripes. I believe the color was called Mediterranean blue. It was still pretty peppy for a 350 sbc. Of course I rebuilt it with flat top pistons. it had Hedman headers comp 268h cam edelbrock performer aluminum intake but I kept the q jet. My brother had it runs right and she should sing when you opened up those big secondaries. I still have the SS 396 in my toolbox nearly forty years later.

[GMCTIM]

Some ppl would let it rot away before you or me own it ! Damn shame !

[SHADOWBLACKs]

When new those cars were so nice I bet, people would probably pay good money for some of those cowl tags, drop them on cars that are already restored.

[GamessoslOol]

with even a smallest amount of upkeep, these cars could be worth so much more

[PAULMISIUK]

DO NOT WORRY GUYS THE LS6 WILL BE REBODIED AND NUMBERS MATCHING AT THE BJ AUCTION IN PALM BEACH IN 2026

[RobertFedor-kuzt]

Get Patrick Glenn to come there and verify it
