I think that poor car deserves to be restored; I enjoy seeing cars in "as found" condition but enough is enough. Show it as found, document it's condition with pictures and then bring it back. JMO

&quot;but enough is enough.&quot; Sounds like you have &quot;barn-find&quot; fatigue! It's not the barn-finds, its the HYPE that accompanies them.

I agree Dave. A great restoration candidate, but IMO, certainly not nice enough to leave alone.

This car is no secret,and the hype being projected by its cocky owner is not realistic.
It was advertised publically last year for 10k on the internet as well as other places local to the then owner Luis C.,which he deleted everything on the internet soon after the sale.It was constantly being bumped &amp; bumped because there were no takers.The seller listed it as a 1970 L-78 Chevelle,and everyone knew it was a real 1970 L-78 Chevelle.I looked @ it,as well as others.It was sold to the current owner for 9K,who has an ego bigger then the sun.Now erroneously claiming it is only 1 of 24 existing out of 2144 ever made,because that's all Dale shows he has on file for his 1970 L-78 Chevelle registry,which isn't an accurate reflection of how many are still out there today.
There are many more still existing,yet Patrick Glenn Nichols refuses to believe that.He says he had offers of 20K,now 30K,yet now claims he's going to keep it.
It does not have it's original engine and the VIN tag is rusted through.
I and many others believe it is a real L-78 1970 Chevelle,and I agree with the statement about it needing to be restored pronto and not left as is,as every day it's rotting away a lil more &amp; more.
The new owner,who is new to this show really needs to do his homework &amp; get out of the way of this car.

I don't think Pat is all that &quot;new&quot; to the show.
I'd love to this at the barn finds also.

[Mr70]

He's shown he's new to the L-78 circles.

But not new to `70 Chevelles and LS6's, so really not that different.
