It's amazing to hear the narrator talk about engine, transmission and rear axle ratio options. Today they talk about cup holders and moon roofs. BFD!

My '69 SS396 was also a GEM, and I still own it, after all these years.

Growing up a Mopar Hemi owner, I still have much respect for the LS6.

Got one sitting in the garage, makes me feel like the KING of the road when I get it out and stir the shifter. USA1

Amazing car! I bought a new one, SS 454, Red with black stripes, 4 speed, 3.55 rear gear. I wish i still had it.

Don’t get any better than this 1970 Chevelle SS muscle car perfection!

I Dated a Girl back in the early 70's who Owned a 454 Chevelle--Fastest Girl in Town, Never could Keep Up with that girl.....

I bought a new 70 LS6 SS in Feb, 1970. White with Black Stripes and Black interior. As I recall right at $4,700. Probably the most fun car I ever had. I won almost all of the time but there were a couple times I lost. It was a daily driver so I kept it pretty much stock except for Headers and a different Intake and Carb. As long as I didn't touch the inside of the engine my warranty stayed intact. Sometimes I simply could not get any traction. I had the 3 Speed Auto with I think a 331 Gear. i have always wondered what would this car have been like with today's electronics. My fun car today is a Z06 A8. I have always been an Automatic Transmission person simply because I was not good with the manual clutch. I kept the 70 SS til I had 48,000 miles on it. It had a 50,000 mile powertrain warranty. And believe me this car was in the dealership for motor repairs several times. I simply didn't want to pay for the repairs myself after 50,000 miles. And the final thing was my Insurance Company in 1972 raised my premiums to $1,470 annually. I said no and traded it in on my first Corvette. The 1972 350 Corvette annual insurance premium was $270. Folks, that's what ended the Muscle Car days for me back then... This was a great video, Keep em coming.

1970 El Camino SS 454 with 4-speed rock crusher transmission is my dream car

My dream car. Had one was I was 18 and working on it everyday for months. First time out got T-boned by a sweet old lady that ran a stop sign. Cried like a baby and still do on the inside when I see these cars.

These are such beautiful cars with such raw power

I'm a Ford guy, but ohmygosh, the Chevelle SS454! What a car!

@ 15 years old my uncle literally kept his Ls6 convertible 4 speed in his barn. Trust me..... I knew where he kept his keys. Thanks for buying that one Pat. It was a blast!

I remember in the late '70's you could buy used, running big block muscle cars for as little as $2000. I bought one in '82, a '70 1/2 RS/SS 396 Camaro. Paid $2000, it was my daily driver. Wish I still had it.

70 454...my dream muscle car.

Can't get enough of this...Apex predator!

big facts! 1970 was the pinnacle year for muscle cars before EPA stepped in...miss those days

Worked for landscape contractor back in 1970. He went to buy a "strong truck" for hauling boulders. Came back with a 454 El Camino rated at 450 hp with turbo-hydro tranny. Only got to drive it twice, both times with him in the passenger seat. He had no idea what he bought. All the weight is up front, so, even a light tap of the gas pedal spun the skinny polyglas tires. It was a monster.

The 1970 Was one of my favorite Years on the Chevelle SS was one of my Favorite!!

My brother Kevin had a green 1970 LS6 454 SS and it was named Poison Ivy

My favorite muscle car of all time. I found and bought a 1970 Monte Carlo with a 454 which was also very rare.

and now its a rolling work of art and a thing of beauty, reminiscent of a time when the american car had a soul to it that many modern offerings lack..

This is one of my dream cars. My mom's old boyfriend had a 68 and a 72. I loved those cars.

Bought a 1970 LS6 454 Daytona yellow with black strips back in 1995...I had known about this car since early 70's...Bugged the owner for almost 25 years... It's all original...unrestored...matching numbers...49,000 miles...what a dream come true!

One of the greatest muscle cars of all time! I would kill for one.

bought a 1970 red black stripe ls6 454-460 cowl induction m22 4spd. from 1st owner in june of 1977. it had 3.31 rear posi . i drove this car on vacation south on interstate 15 to interstate 80 in nevada n then ran with 6 truckers west to reno nv. at 100-110 mph and i averaged 16.5 mpg. this trip was at about midnight on a saturday night in autumn, cool air n stars....///

Had a 64, a 68 and a 70 Chevelle. Wishi had either one of them now!

So cool how I was born the exact same year this baby was also unveiled! I would love to buy this car as a tribute to my birth year as well as celebrating this magnificent muscle car.

2019 and this car is still absolute perfection. The shape, the grill, the rear end, are just timeless. Think of that; almost 50 yrs old and the styling and performance still turns heads.

My second car was a 1970 442, basically same ride and fun. Wish I still owned that beast. Great video!

That's my dream car there, 70 Chevelle, thanks for the vid, what a nice ride, beautiful machines.

The 70' chevelle SS is my fav muscle car. I would really love to restore one and have it brand new (it would be this exact color as well). BEAUTIFUL CAR!

This was my sister's first car at 18. I loves riding around in that thing.

I bought my 1970 Chevelle almost 16 years ago, and I vow to never get rid of it. It's not an SS, but a Malibu that originally had an inline 6 under the hood. I have a 350 now, and it currently needs a transmission as I only have 1st and 2nd gears.

when I was about eight or nine years old in the early seventies there was not one, but two '70 SS's in my neighborhood. I remember seeing at least one of them leave most of its rear tires on the pavement near my street one day. I was in awe. And to make sure we don't leave out the FOMOCO fans out there, my next door neighbor had a 69 Cougar XR7 convertible. Still one of my favorite cars of all time. I had a lot of rides in that car.

A 70 SS454 has always been my bucket list car.

God those things are beautiful. Nice documentary and great post.

WOW! I don't know what else to say. All of these cars are off the charts. They get my adrenaline pumping just looking at them. I would probably have a heart attack if I actually drove one of them.👍

Wow. That car dealership at the very beginning of the video with the Mustangs, and Torinos really bring back some memories. I remember when I was 5 years-old, my dad driving us in his '69 GTO, going to various car lots, looking at new muscle cars like those. I remember my dad saying he didn't like the bright colors of the Lime Green, and Pink 'Cudas, and Challengers, that was sitting on the lot, brand new, with the stickers still in the windows.

I was in a trance watching this video. 😍😔 I might just watch this once a day everyday.

That last bit about the chevelle being the Mount Everest of the muscle car era gave me chills haha! It doesn't matter what kind of car you gravitate toward, EVERYONE loves the chevelle ss.

No doubt that the 70's were all about having a fun and working hard just to have that fun, 1978 i gave 800 Bucks for a 1968 Nova that somebody had already taken the Hot Water Six out and then cram a 327 Small Block, leaving the 3 on the tree, i won't ever forget when i finally saved the Money to put that 4 speed, talk about making a huge difference, especially having 411 delivering the Rear. All these Rides were only Dreams, i had to be Thankful for what i had, that is what made all the real fun come alive!!!

Awesome video, thank you so much for making this.

One of my favorites for sure

knew a guy in the Navy in 1974 that had one, the headrest was a necessity

Fantastic video on one of the iconic muscle cars of that era. My father had a 71 Buick GS with a stage 1 455ci. The GS was kind of a brother to the Chevelle.

The GREATEST muscle ever built! I owned a 67 SS396 Turbohydromatic trans. Chevell but always wanted a 70 SS!! Great video and VERY accurate with numbers and specs.

Nice video, thanks for posting.

my first car I had was a 70 chevelle as ls5 bought it used in 76 for $1200 didn't know what I had and sold it been kicking myself ever since

"The Apex" "Mount Everest". I agree. Such a beautiful piece of machinery. So sad that the muscle car era had to end.

My favorite car & color. My high school drive & cruising vehicle in the 70's. Wanted to add - that is one of the best narration vids around. Thank you.

Great video , thats a display of amazing classics

I'd give my eye teeth for one of these LS6 Chevelle's!

Wish I was around for those times great video

I am glad i found this video it gave me a lot of info about my grandpa's car and i can't wait to suprise him with the info i have learned thank you.

I agree The 70 Chevelle was the pinnacle of all muscle cars. It was just as popular when they were new. That front end look was intoxicating. That can never be duplicated ever again.

You are doing a great job with these videos.

thank you, painfully wonderful

Incredible review and great channel always look forward to a new episode thanks for your dedication

I wish chevy would bring the chevelle back and have it beat the demon

GREAT VIDEO! I love that car.

My all-time favorite Muscle car. My former coworker who retired got the LS6 70 Chevelle he's had it since 1988 and took real great care of it. Keeps it in the garage car cover wash and wax it from time to time and only brings it out in spring and summers. Currently sitting at 7421miles. He let me take it for a spin one time I was all smiles that I finally got to drive one. I'm currently looking for one myself. A guy in Arizona beat me to it I was 3 minutes to late when trying to buy one. The guy sold it.

Back in the 70s, if you had a street car that ran in the low 14 seconds you had a really fast car. Back then racing was a weekend hobby and people would scan the local paper for used speed parts in hoping to make their cars just a tad quicker. Today, that fun is long gone.

I was a Ford guy growing up but when I was in The Corps in the early/mid 70's I almost bought a '70 SS Chevelle 454, came this close to pulling the trigger but didn't. Kinda wish I would have.

I had one in the 70's . drag raced it. best of 10.50's in quarter mile, in super stock.

As a kid (16?) I drove a 64 (66?) Malibu 396 4 speed from downtown L.A. to Thousand Oaks. It was fun. No freeway, maybe 50 foot center divider with Oak trees everywhere, not a house or other structure around. Hey, another story. I was driving one of the main drags in Hollywood when a Charger drove up next to me at the light. He had 6 little roadrunner decals on the upper forward corner of the driver door. An ACE!! I got a kick out of that.

they were beautiful I miss them very much.

I remember reading a Car and Driver road test from 1970 on the LS6 when it was new. Theirs had the Turbo 400, and they said it liked to surprise the rear tires with part-throttle downshifts which would break 'em loose when they weren't expecting it. The LS6 was one of the very few cars GM produced that could keep up with a Hemi. I feel sorry for any young buyers trying to insure one at the time, though---I'm sure they paid a fortune.

Great video. I bought a brand new '70 Chevelle in 1970. Unfortunately, it was a 350, 2 bbl version with auto. It was a very nice car and had A/C. The thought of the 454 spd is still a dream.

1970, in my opinion, was THE year for all the muscle cars. The GTO, Charger, 442, GSX, all of them at the peak of their performance and maturity... Even the pony cars; Challenger, Mustang and Camaro were evolving into performance monsters.... Then 1971, everything started changing. I love the early years of the muscle car/pony car wars, but 1970 was the perfect storm of bonkers power, and GORGEOUS, flowing lines. My heart ACHES for a 1970 Chevelle SS454 LS6 4 speed...even as a kid in the 1980s, to now, it was love at first site.

I had a friend who had one, and it was a monster!

thanks for these important facts about the 1970 Chevelle SS

Such a badass Car would love to have one

my cousin richard had a 70 nova. he let me use it on my graduation night for couple of hours. still smiling to this day.

Back in the day I had a ride with an experienced drag racer in a 1970 396/4-speed. Its beauty belied its brutality.

Back in the day I had one of these but it was the 396 version and trust me it was no slouch and I won many of my red light to red light races but sadly lost some 2 from a boss mustang and a cuda and my buddy brad in his copo camaro which I have to mention hands down was the fastest car I had ever rode in at the time that thing was scary fast I still believe these cars had waaaaayy more horsepower than they advertised because these things were monsters but sadly he even lost once to a 69 z/28 with a 302 yeah you heard it right a 302 that was an angry little engine lol those were the days,thanks for the vid it brought back some memories.

Awesome any real American muscle car freak should watch and enjoy this video!!

I was trained as an import mechanic , but I LOVE American muscle!

I have been a Chevelle fan, ever since the very first time I saw one, when I was a kid. I know it might sound ridiculous, or sick, but' I love the Chevelle. I've had 2 in my days, and this one they are showing here, is just (sick) and would love to own this sweet bad boy. Though, I know I will never own another Chevelle, let alone a SS. But' I can still dream, and pretend I do.

That's my dream car one of the first things to buy when I win the lottery

Thanks for making another awesome video. The Chevelle SS is on my top three list of muscle cars to own one day, along with a 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge and the Buick GSX Stage 1. Please do videos on these cars too!

We had the 396 four on the floor. My nephew had it. but he PASSED away in September. Miss ;him and the car.Malibu yellow with black stripes and of course Cowinduction Great car.

Still miss my 68 SS...such great times in that car...

Chevelle LS6 454 SS was the Baddest Car on the planet in the 1st muscle Car era !

With good tires and a good launch 12.80's were well within reach.

And I thought the birth place for the AU Holden HQ coupe was the Oldsmobile 422, the Chev Chevelle SS is the exact birth place. Mine was a 1972 HQ Coupe with the factory Chev 350 V8, what a car and perfect lines. I wish I still had it now. I love this channel.

Very good video. Now I need one.

The drop top 454 ss is one of the rarest muscle cars ever produced - worth factors more than the hard top.

One of America's great cars.

One of my all-time favorite cars.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing! :)

beautiful

I remember one magazine tested all the fastest muscle cars in a 1970 showdown issue. The Chevelle LS6 posted a 13.1 quarter and the Cuda Hemi posted a 12.9 quarter. Traction was difficult with the Chevelle as well as gear changes with testers commenting "that old Muncie balked".

Dubbed the "earth mover" by hotrod magazine. This baby was a beast.

My college roommate in 1970-71 had a red 70 SS454 w/cowl induction, Muncie 4 spd, & black stripes. He was from Modesto, L. Skiles, and had also ordered an SS396. He decided to take the first one thst showed up, which was the 454. Beautiful car, I can still hear that throaty whine…

One of the greatest cars ever made

You know what's just as badass? A good ole SS El Camino!

that was my first vehicle.wish i knew then what i know now.what a ride it was.great memories

Wow!! Memories!

In my top ten, maybe in my top five!
