not restore it give me a break.That car is in need of a very expensive restoration.Is it worth it?The price of a correct restoration is very expensive as most of you know. And if you don't know do one and find out.

So now I have a question ... Is that the original engine?

Thanks Rick, Chuck, and Dan for helping me out. I dont have a problem with Mr70 and wouldn't know him if I saw him. Just dont understand why he would want to be rude to me. Its a great day for Chevelle guys when these stories hit. I busted my rear to bring this story to life for ALL of us Chevelle guys to put another feather in our mainstream media hat. The mopar guys probably dont act like that. They push every story in my speculation. Anyway for the record yes my 2 brothers played a major part in this car as well but didnt catch any ink. Younger brother is a financial partner and the older brother allows us to store the car in his super cool garage. Both just as passionate about chevelles as me. My partners in crime. I try to hype these cars not myself. Again like I wrote on my youtube page, i used to lay in bed sleeping with car magazines wishing for a 1970 Chevelle when I was 14. Ok. I know how awesome I thought all of these musclecars were so tough. I remember all the feelings they gave me as a kid. If we dont pass that on to even just a few we are screwing up. So yes I hype them because these cars are like nothing else in life. They are truly awesome and from a time when things were truly awesome. So yay again to the L78 blowing up the media.

Well now, that's a shot that didn't need to be taken. &quot;Mopar guys&quot; are every bit as proud of their finds, and many are BUSTING THEIR BUTTS as well to bring info on rare Mopars to the &quot;mainstream media&quot;.

Go on, admit it.... the fact that this Chevelle is in a relic state tends to stir up conversation. Every restorer would welcome the opportunity to restore this car because original parts remain in place, and original finishes are visible for replication/restoration. Similarly, every preservationist would leave this car alone. Interestingly, both groups would be ALL-OVER this car looking at every detail if they had the chance.... at least, for so long as it remains a relic. It is the owner's choice whether to restore the car or not. Judging by the interest this car has already generated, I wouldn't spend a load of money only to get less attention.

Hey 69hurstsc. My comment was complimentary towards mopar guys. I said i believe they dont act like that meaning they dont bash each other when something good happens. Just a simple observation and totally speculative. But positive towards those guys. The thing is its just not in my make up to hate on or take stabs. Im a congratulater not a hater. I grew up with 2 brothers nearly my same age. You got whipped into shape for that kind of behavior where i come from. It was cosidered really disrespectful. Anyways sorry you misinterpreted my comment and YAY again for the L78 blowing up.

Copy that. Totally misread the comment.

Honestly, if this car crossed my path for 10K, I would jump on it and set my pocket on fire pulling the money out. Who wouldn't?

[69hurstSC]

Do LS-5 cars generate this kind of buzz? I'm not as dialed into the whole 1970 Chevelle SS scene. There was a 1 owner, survivor LS-5 car that was on Craigslist here in MN last year. It was listed under 20K and didn't generate a single thread on here.
