Virginia Strikes Gold Again With Special Paint LS6 Chevy Chevelle!

There are many things that are special when it comes to a 1970 LS6 SS454 Chevelle because this is arguably one of the most desired American classic muscle cars out there, but this one does have something extra about it.

It is very rare due to the fact that it has been painted in a special paint procedure Shadow grey.

This car has been hidden away for almost 40 years somewhere in the mountains in Virginia and it has since resurfaced, first being discovered by Patrick Nichols and by the time he made the video, it has been included in the national registry.

This is an Atlanta Georgia built car so different assembly plants had different procedures for the special paint, this way they indicated it on the couch egg with this in Atlanta car.

So they had dashes or no paint codes at all will be on there if it went through the special paint procedure and this car did the reason being for that yep a little quick rundown here all cars all 70 chevelle.

If they had a hardtop with no vinyl top no vinyl roof so they had same color upper and lower you had one option standard option for the for the d88 hood and deck stripes so for instance cranberry red upper lower had black stripes unless there’s a special paint.

It’s a special ls6 for one reason that it went through the special paint procedure some people call the COPO procedure which is incorrect not a COPO car, if you went through the special paint procedures but that indicate information is indicated on the Kaltag.

Procedure so this call was code 17 shadow gray and the standard color stripe for the code D 88 hood and deck ordered this car knew wanted white stripes well at that point.

It put the car into a special paint program and that is indicated on the build sheet of this car, which I will show you another thing that’s cool about this car is this car come with the fairly rare dual snorkel air cleaner for the special high-performance cars a lot of ls6 cars came with this standard Super Sport open element air cleaner.
