Them cars will sadly be sitting there in the same place in 100 years! If that guy was going to restore them they wouldn't be sitting like that!🤦‍♂️

SO SAD THESE CHEVELLES ARE ROTTING AWAY

The owner says he's gonna be restoring these cars very soon....we won't hold our breath

He ain’t restoring SHIT! If he hasn’t done it, HE WONT! He just refuses to sell them and let someone else bring them back to life! 👍👍

Patrick ... I knew you had a metal detector with a Chevelle SS setting on it !

the owner is NOT going to "restore" these cars, they merely serve as bragging rights at the bar.

Nothing sweeter than cranberry red with black stripes 1970 Chevelle SS!

Hey Patrick it a shame those 2 chevelle are like that love to have them! Specially 67 !!

Thank you sir, for educating me on many unknown little tidbits of information,.Love all your videos.....keep up the Great work and Finds....good luck

Someone should take pictures of different angles of these cars for posters or calendars. They are yard art at this point. Both cars being base model SS Chevelles. The restoration would far exceed the value when completely done. It would just be a labor of love. Not a investment! I'm sure they will need one of everything and two of most. Cool cars and keep the videos coming Patrick!

Dangnabbit!Someone please buy them and restore em!

Crazy to think that they're still out there waiting to be found even in 2019! What a heartbreaker

Patrick I really appreciate what you do..!

I can't get enough of your finds and the knowledge that come with them. Keep it coming

People would rather them ruin than sell them. So stupid!

Whoever left these cars out like that need to be castrated,

Nice find... Sad to see them rotting away like most cars.

Imagine the scale, rot on the frame, not to mention all floor pans are most likely gone! what a shame! I had a '67 and a '70.

Great find ! That bring A tear to a old car lovers eye ! 😥

Gonna fix them up some day. Not

This breaks my heart man fr, hate seeing them set out like that but sometimes owners have Chevelles like that or any muscle car and not able to fix it themselves do to health issues or not able to financially build a garage to put them in but it could be many respectable reasons...sure hate seeing them set outside like that though specially when someone like me is still trying to find a 68-69 or 70 Chevelle SS

Omg. The memories. My 67. 138 car. Was the butternut yellow and black top car. My brother at the same time had 70 ss 396. Fathom blue. White interior car. Life happened and I wound up with both cars ( wife with kids his wife said car had to go ) we street raced both cars. Then bam. Woke up one day. Wife kids and life lol. Man wish I had just one of them back. Or my 66 396 4 spd bench seat impala. I guess I'll just have to happy with my lil 68 big block nova. Lol. Love your vids. Long ago people would call me to ask about chevelle stuff. I thought I was only one who knew. Dates numbers. And stuff. Lol.

Obviously the owners of these cars(and others) have mental conditions, rather to see them "ROT" where they stand and get a hardon telling a potential buyer NOT FOR SALE!! knowing dang well they will never fix them.

Thanks for sharing it’s hard to watch.your videos are very educational for people who own this type of muscle cars👌😞😞😡

Another excellent video.

The owner was just waiting for the "patina look" to be in. Jackpot !

They lie to you my friend, I have been looking for one since early 80's. Treed 🌴 in soon to be junk if not saved soon. Thank you and a great week to you.

Great finds sure hope the other does get them inside or restore then or at the least find a new owner that will

Thanks Pat!

I don't know how you do it Patrick, seeing all these cars you film that still have SO much potential and having to walk away after filming..... So sad

I want a 70s Chevelle so bad I can taste it❣️I like the banana yellow with black racing stripes. Thanks for all your efforts in bringing this to us📽️👍😊

Last summer I ran across a 71 Buick gsx sitting in a pasture. Up on blocks and still very savable. The owner let me look at it, still had the stage 1 455 . No power brakes, no ac, dual snorkle air cleaner intact. Rodents had taken care of most of the interior but floors trunk n quarters were solid, traces of rust starting around the rear window. Yellow with black stripes and a spoiler. Although paint was almost completely chalked out, weathered down to the sealer. I offered him what I thought was a premium price and he said , " not for sale, I'm gonna fix it up soon. RIGHT....he lived in a house that needed major attention, garage had fallen down years ago..and he drives a barely functioning mid 90's Ford pickup. Drives me crazy knowing it will only be enjoyed by the cattle around it till it rusts into the ground

Great find. I pray they'll be restored. So sad to see them out in that environment 😢

would have been nice cars to restore 30 years ago. probably no floors or frame left anymore. what a waste

I love the 67's one of the best looking cars EVER!!!

Patrick, I completely understand what you're doing and I thank you for it. To everyone commenting out there: Don't attack these people for doing stuff like this to wonderful pieces of pure Americana. The best way to get them to sell (or better protect what they have) is to be polite and thoughtful with your comments. We have all seen or know about cars near us in similar situations. At least this person let Patrick do this video. I know of a few cars in Eastern Nebraska and Western Iowa in similar circumstances that the owner won't even let you get close to them, or even talk to you about them. Many are truly yard art at this point. This pair that Patrick has shared with us look like they can be saved, even if it's just a ratty unrestored muscle car you can drive around. In five to ten years however, they won't be. If someone knows the owner, maybe you could talk him into selling one to help finance the start on the other?

He told his wife the same thing a few years before the trees grew up around them. The owner will never do anything soon with these two chevys. In fact I’ll bet that the last decision he will make on them he told Patrick.

Wow sure would like to own the 1967. Thank you for sharing Patrick. Any chances of you going to the west coast?.....

Damn, these relics are hanging out in my neck of the woods, unfortunately, they definatly look like they have been in illiniois for long time, the elements are shit around here for cars to be untouched and unattended like this, good job pat, another good lesson

It's obvious that I'm not a Chevy guy but all do respect to the Chevelle. I can only hope that someone would restore this car.

Pat, when the owner said he will be restoring them soon, did you ask him if he said the same thing 25 years earlier when he first parked them? Thanks for posting these two neglected Chevelles, may they RIP.

4 speed cars? Great video brother!

Some people need a punch in the head to waste such rare cars like these.

Such a shame that people would not only let these cars rot away, but claim they're going to "rebuild it soon". If they haven't been working on it over the last 20 years, once they became certified classics and collectible, they're not going to start. These cars are a part of American history that we will never see again. You can't wrestle it out from the owner but there's always an "it's not for sale" price. Once you've tried negotiating reasonably and they hear none of it, the "it ain't for sale" price will tell you if they're really going to work on it or not. But I'm a firm believer in never giving up. Someone who is serious about buying these cars should just have a little patience and work easily with the owner. Stuff like this can be worked out over time, usually once the owner realizes he's really never going to get it running and he has an opportunity for some cash in his hand.

Cool video man, I have always liked and wanted to own a 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS. To find one in good shape they are to me a a little expensive. I found one that been sitting since 2011 and it was in need of a paint job and a little interior work. The asking price was Dirt Cheap so I bought it. And I'm glad I did because you only get to live once and if owning a classic mobile car is your dream you should go for it I know for an older model car like the Chevelle it will cost a pretty penny to restore them. To get them back to driver Quality Cars would probably be around $50,000 give or take but I would really like to see these cars back on the road again I like all Chevrolet muscle cars from the 60s and 70s

I posted a comment on one of your older videos and you may not have seen it...my brother bought a new 70 SS396 in 70...I was 9 years old at the time and that car was my god !!...it was a 396 car with a 4 speed bucket seat and he got it with no stripes...was red on red no vinal top black interior...he lost it back to the bank probably in Cleveland Ohio...was just wondering if in your travels you came across such a car...it was a repo probably mid 70...love your videos and mostly the chevelles...keep up the ultra fine work you do...Rick

Thanks!!!

Thats a pair right there fr. 💯😍😍😍😍

I found a 70 ss convertible in high school in 1989 in rural Kansas where I grew up , and same thing the guy was gonna fix it up . was back in the area a few summers ago and drove by and still sitting there . shocker .

Just a real shame. I’m a Mustang guy, but I’ve always respected the 1970 Chevelle. I look for new videos every day.

I love any Chevelle!

The person that owns these cars probably won't restore them. He's most likely said that for thirty years! He let these classics get to this stage. But I guarantee he want's a arm and a leg for someone to buy his RUST! $$$$......

Wow poor cars, I'm sure they will sit there forever I'd love the 67

Its amazing how these chevelle are just left in the woods. Someone had to know what they had, I mean why did they buy them in the first place

Brings tears to my eyes!

Mr. Glenn you put out great videos, has anyone ever told you you sound exactly like Matthew McConaughey?

How can someone let the baddest muscle car of all time get like this?

You know how many time I've heard I'm going to restore it. I asked a 80 year old man down the street from me that had a one owner 67 nove wagon with a 283 and glide if he wanted to sell it told me no he was going to fix it up. About 3 months ago I noticed they we're cleaning the house out asked a woman what was going on it was his daughter asked her about the car she told me they had pick your part to come get it. I was devastated. I'm sure that happens all the time.

Anybody that believes the owner is going to restore these cars raise your hand.

There should be an IQ test given before just anyone can buy any high performance car even today......

You know that really cracks me up if you're talkin I've run the roads I was raised in the car business with my grandfather I can't tell you how many people I've come across like this guy that say they're going to restore their old car and you can see the trees of growing up next to him through them but they're still going to restore them them cars will be there 10 years from now only in ten times worse shape like everybody says what a shame

It's a shame that they were forgotten.

What we need to get mine 70ss checked out of there was a garage find and just purchased it seems to be a true SS do have the build sheet what's left of it

It's amazing that people will let valuable cars like these just rot. Restore soon my a**! The owners probably been saying that for a decade or more.

The Chevelles are great but I found myself wondering about what kind of shape the blue/white dually pickup in the background is in. I love Chevelles and 2nd gen Camaros, but, I REALLY love square body trucks! I've bought and sold many vehicles over the years, but, I'll never sell the 78 K35 that I bought in 84 at age 16!

It's a shame what happened to these classic cars Good luck with getting these cars out of this mess. They all say they will restore them soon, but it never will happen. The 70' is really rotted bad. I have my 69' Le Mans blue Chevelle SS 396.... 47 years this November 2019. It is sitting in a heated garage for maybe close to 4 years covered in dust. Been working on my house all the time. No time for the Chevelle right now , but soon, so I know how " restoring them soon will work out for these cars. Good luck with that!! At least my Chevelle is in a heated garage in my house, dusty and I need to rebuild the 3 carbs on the tri power set up I put on maybe in the year1974. My Chevelle is an L-34. When I bought it in Nov.1972 it was all origional. I kept the origional intake, cast iron exhaust manifolds, smog pump. So it could be restored to it's origional build if a Black vinyl roof was put on. Now it is all Le Mans blue, black sport stripe on l an r sides of the car. Red line tires on Chevelle SS factory wheels, low in the back.

Yeah, don't want to do any damages, keep them safe sinking in the dirt and trees growing up around em.

I have a cousin that has a 67 SS chevelle big block 4 speed that is setting in the dirt. It's super sad. He always says he's going to restore it and the others laying around but i don't think he is ever going to do it.

Most of these owners of these awesome cars will never give someone else a chance to restore these cars but yet to sit outside in the elements. The owners always say " I'll restore them " but they die and the car keeps deteriorating more n more.

I don't know how you keep your cool with some of these people. These cars are so shot out, all of a sudden he's going to care about them? These cars truly made me sick

Enjoy your work Patrick. A little more backstory / history with these cars would make the vids far more interesting as they can tend to blend in with each other, ex- another red big block Chev with these options etc still love what you're doing mate

That's hard to look at, hope he don't wait until a trees growing thru them. I wouldn't restore them myself, but I'd find a top restoration shop and have them stored their until restoration begins.

Can these still be restored? At what point are they just parts car?

I knew a guy in Wadley, Ga & he wouldn't let the car go, because, he thought my brothers & I would put big wheels on it. Our intentions were to restore the car back to factory original as much as possible with our Vietnam War Veteran father. It was an original 396 SS car, red with black stripes. He sold the car for scrap about a year later. I felt like roughing him up for it, but, that's never the right thing to do. I hope, whoever got their hands on it did it the justice it deserved.

Hey Patrick. As there are a limited number of 1970 Chevelle SS cars made - that being your favorite - have you kept track of how many you have found yourself? I was wondering how much of a dent you're making... Another question, doesn't it break your heart to see these being reclaimed by nature? I'm not a Chevy guy, but it bothers me

I found a chevelle sitting in a back yard. Also a challenger.. not sure what year but I took pictures.. if I can post them I would

Yeah right on the restore

Owner: I will be restoring the Chevelle’s soon Me: 🤨

I’ve seen this kind of thing before . In 1987 , I offered a price on a 64 GTO , more than it was worth . The guy wouldn’t sell it , even though he didn’t have a pot to piss in .

LOL if I had a penny for ever time I heard an owner of one of these awesome classic cars say that they are going to restore it soon or it’s not for sale, hell i’d be a millionaire

There is a 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T sitting in the woods in Ohio since 1974! I'll try to send you the link!

I want that 70. I'm in Illinois too.

I had a 69 Mach 1 with a 429 super Cobra jet wedge C6 automatic transmission 456 gears, I used to run 1057's in Vegas with it,it was a super rare car it was only sold for drag racing only, I gave the car away because it's set for years and I did not want it to rust away to me that was the most responsible thing to do is to give to somebody who wanted to overhaul the car and show it

oh wonderful the owner is going to restore them ,thats probably a good idea

I can see they ready to restore them soon?

Come back in 50 years and they will still be setting there. What a shame 😒

Parts cars is what they are considered to be since some Ahole left them out in the elements. 😡

2 diamonds in the rough. I hope the owners can get them restored.

Keep us updated if you can...

I live in Central Illinois and I'm looking for one. Can you introduce me to the gentleman that owns these?

"Don't want to do any damage to the cars" @ 0:35 😂😂. Those things have been hunks of junk for MANY years son.

Super cool find but people have these cars just sitting on the land and won't do nothing with them why😔

My two favorite models becoming "dust in the wind". What a shame.

Saddens me to see these cars rotting away

What the heck man and there left to rust. And not for sale. Sad

Are Any of the cars you find for sale?

Patrick lots of patina mean the owner was bad and let them sit out and rust like holy hell! Oh well but it's sad that he let them rot away for all those years! I know a guy with two 69 Camaro's in the garage that he hasn't done a thing to them since 1978 or even started them but at least they have been kept dry and out of the elements.

I wish that these cars can be restored someday 😞😥

What a total shame these were left outside!

Can’t be much left of the bottoms of those cars being from Illinois. There isn’t much the state spends a lot of money on (aside from the politicians salaries) but there are two things they love to pony up on. Road salt and it’s cousin calcium chloride.
