[@barryfoster6265]

Something me and the wife argue about all the damn time!! My first car was an 85 Monte Carlo SS, I’ve loved them ever since, and wanting to get another one to build. She thinks they’re ugly…… almost caused a divorce 😂

[@PhillyDee215]

@@barryfoster6265 oh shit....lol well it's either the wife or the G-body. Better keep the wife😵

[@americanmusclehd]

DUDE!!! Im so glad we finally were able to shoot the car together! Next time we do we will for sure go for a longer drive when she is cooperating lol

[@christophermarechal5017]

Excellent interview and video🍻

Thank you! @@christophermarechal5017

[@LIFTEDIT1]

Awesome story regarding what's meant to be. Beautiful G-body in all aspects. My first car was a '84 MC SS. I went through the stock 305 and two 350's, and a laundry list of other mechanical and miscellaneous issues before parting ways. Still some of my best auto memories.

[@lateroc2955]

Thanks man for the vid. Would love to bring my iroc z and meet you one day take care.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Stoked we finally got to shoot it brother!!

[@Whipsbywade]

I see that Certified Summer Sticker 🙌🏽🙌🏽 Great Feature for the Fam

[@americanmusclehd]

Yessir!! Gonna need a new one, it's peeling lol

[@blackdog7275]

The story of people helping and coming together then he gets his car back is the best part of this video!!!!!!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Such a crazy story. Good karma for Garrett!!

[@paulsalmon4771]

He's a blessed man. God's angles went to war and got his victory. What God has for you, no man can take...

[@CapitolSpec]

One of my favorites on the channel! Thanks homies!

[@howardsherback9503]

Love the car, enjoy it well. I am happy that you got it back, after it was stolen. But there is one thing I have to say. I am 76 years young, and I think that burning rubber is a foolish waste.

[@robertwestbrook9344]

Cool G-body, reminds me of my 1985 monte ss, burgundy and maroon, I purchased new 8-15-1985, man I loved that ride it was perfect for a young family, I let my then wife drive it fla-Ga weekend and some punk rearended the car, light damage, had it fixed at the dealer, then it was stolen in Daytona beach on a weekend trip,found 2 days later, brought it back to dealer and had it fixed again, divorced the cheating wife and car was stolen again from my new apartment, got it back that morning and had the dealer fix it again ,the final straw was some stupid chick ran a stop sign and clipped the front end bending the frame and frame horns, so after 13 years and 114k miles it was totalled, man I still miss the car and its been 25 years since I had it, you have an awesome ride and great content on the show.

[@Itsjustken]

Yea Garrett! Was cool to see the Monte in real time

[@BrianRaby998VL]

Had a 86 t-top SS for a few years. Engine was a mild 355 SBC. Can’t go wrong with a Monte SS.👍👊

[@AutotopiaLA]

My favorite of the G bodies

[@itsdeeperthancars2173]

Read my mind, I was just thinking I would love to see more 80s/90s cars. Can't wait to watch the video.

[@valendajohnson7826]

That's my "G-nephew" so proud of you "G"...keep up the great work... The car 🚗 Monte C. is.. Hot 🔥

[@nickscotto3605]

What a story about the car. Great episode.

[@christopherdaly7965]

@americanmusclehd wowza! Followed this car since before the theft and recovery. Amazing build, leave the dent! Great episode. Humble man. Badass Monte!

[@americanmusclehd]

Much love brother!

[@GA08GT478]

That’s a beautiful SS. I wish I had bought one when they were cheap.

[@Phat12B]

It's always amazing to see a guy find out he's truly loved by his circle

[@dongambino7921]

OG this dude built my dream Monte

[@ShawnathanOakley]

This monte and Frankie Tru's Regal are my favorite G Bodies of all time.

[@americanmusclehd]

I'm honored to be apart of such great company! Frankie's car is INSANE

[@stephenlee2548]

A 100% percent honest car guy, keep up the great work with the vehicle

this Chevy is a masterpiece...... Danm good....... That era cannot happen again. salute buddy..... Keep it up shawn...... Greetings from india 🇮🇳🤘🏻🤘🏻🤠🤠🤩

[@gordocarbo]

Classic from day 1....those bodylines cant be beat.

[@AutotopiaLA]

I agree. Sexy car

[@supersport57]

One sick ass Monte Carlo. The perfect street car. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!

[@newyork4198]

I was born in 82, so I remember the Monte’s very well back when they were still new cars. They’ve lost their luster because they weren’t particularly fast, and the GN stole the show when you bring up G-body. However back in the days the Monte SS was a cool car, and IMO it’s the best and meanest looking G body. Absolutely love this ride. Glad it got a proper feature on this channel.

[@FredickTrumpJr]

Nothing is better than a drive able hot rod. Love it

[@Yourmission9]

Man that Monte Carlo is gorgeous, I remember when those came out in the 80’s and that to me is what a chevelle SS would’ve looked like had they continued manufacturing them

[@paulwalkert2915]

Finally..It's been a long wait, but it was worth it. I was one of the subscribers who requested a Monte Carlo years ago! Perfect engine in there, I must say.

[@richki.24]

Love those '80s G-body rides ...

[@kurtiscurtis8102]

Best video of the whole show

[@joeymccullough2716]

Now THAT is a “ real” build, Shawn! Garrett is such a cool dude. I followed the whole theft incident-great to see it back to rockin’. 👍

[@Mr.Toniothatis2030]

I will always love the SS!!!

[@Dashsgarage]

Have to love the G-bodys. Building a 85 Monte right now.

[@Davivd2]

That's my affordable dream car. That exact year of Monte Carlo. It has the perfect blend of muscle car with a little bit or low rider style to it. That car can scratch a few itches and not look gimmicky while doing it.

[@SuperOperator4]

OMG, I had the same car, same year and color. Made front cover of Monte carlo owners magazine doing a burnout...Classic!!!!!!!!

[@chazzs4365]

That’s awesome that your sponsors offered to help you out and make a my page for your loss

[@nathanjones4039]

Ok, we’ve had a GN, Monte, now time for a Cutlass…gotta round it out! 84 Monte was my first car, wasn’t lucky enough to have an SS though.

[@rodneyunderwood6236]

True but we need a Pontiac grand prix as well!!

[@დავითიკუჭუაშვილი]

1984 Chevy Monte Carlo SS 💙

[@kevinfitzpatrick2556]

Great story on this car. My first car was an 84 monte SS in blue. (The only year they made it in Blue). It was a nice big cruiser. Traded it for a 90 IROC back in the day. Looking forward to seeing more of this Monte Carlo.

[@GS-pn4ld]

About time you got a G Body Monte Carlo SS on the channel!

[@AJKlos]

Love these cars. Like to see 1/4 mile times.

[@AutotopiaLA]

He didn’t set it up for any type of driving other than driving but sure is cool

[@billdouglas4814]

One of my favorite cars I'm a former owner of the 84ss ( it is missed ) beautiful build my hats off to you stolen and recovered happened to me twice however not as fortunate as you in the engine department

[@reynaldocaceres4219]

That is one sharp Monte Carlo. And awesome how the car lovers community came to help him. Awesome story.

[@tysonsmartialarts]

Shawn, I know you are not a g-body guy unless it’s a grand National BUT, without even watching the video yet, I have requested you a few years back to a mid 80’s Monte SS (I have one too) and you didn’t disappoint me!!!!! 👍🚗🥋

[@Tact-Mack0397]

Been following this build since he got the car back in the day this is cool

[@Ski_zaBoi1776]

Bout time you did a Monte, keep ‘em coming brother!!!

[@believeinmatter]

Have always loved the body lines on this car. In my opinion it’s genuinely beautiful & equally sinister

[@fletcherjacobs3688]

I will always love this car and the same year camaro

[@bgkob]

Wow. This is a beauty. I FINALLY after 20+ years have a Monte Carlo SS again and am eating up any G-body vids I can watch. I had a 87 SS with the T-tops in high school (it was kind of a beater) and it had an engine fire. The 85 SS I just got is beautiful, with only 65k+ miles... But it needs more HP, thats for sure. Super cool story Garrett on getting the car back LOVE the classic Brewers hat too #414 #MKE.

[@edbuckley1670]

that ss is my dream car nice job man

[@CyberDocUSA]

This one made me miss not having a video last Friday but made up for it! What a genuine beast. Raw power and a daily driver's dream.

[@iansharpe8420]

So stoked on this video. Garretts a rad guy, and so is shawn. Love this Gbody!

[@JoeMicc1973]

Bad ass car! Garrett’s a cool guy…got lots of same friends. My buddy had a cool Monte Carlo in high school…always loved those things. 🔥🔥

[@AutotopiaLA]

Definitely a cool car and Garrett is awesome!

[@gnarlytothemax]

Always had a fetish for these Monte Carlos. This build nailed it - the stance, the powertrain, everything and the owner seems like a stand up dude. Would've loved to see some driving action. Very nice feature thank you for sharing.

[@henrynwatu8132]

Love the stories, and love this channel.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thank you and this one is a crazy story! Stoked he got it back

[@chrislovett6120]

What a beautiful car, love the color and the wheels

[@AutotopiaLA]

Me too. Clean and mean

[@keyanohaineault2164]

Now you need to shoot a cutlass!! Plenty of wild ones.

[@joshuaking34]

I can relate to having my car stolen and returned. It's the worst rollercoaster of emotions. So glad that he got it back.

[@stlswagger]

Man my first car was a '81 Monte Carlo. 1993. Was the lil V6 but fam when I say I've had a lot of cars since then, I still want to build one in 2023!

[@DarkKnight-ws3wx]

I love the Monte Carlo SS's! This is a very nice example

[@michaelking1524]

Such a cool car. Love the rims. Can't say that too often.

[@melvinburwell8202]

G body shout out. They were always the clean style. My parents had a Regal. Nice to see a Monte Carlo. With a history. Cool story bro. God is good. Nice whip. Perfect build. ❤❤🙏🙏👍👍🤑😎

[@jamesmarze9850]

Great combination of the driver, build, and story. His vision was spot on! Something I think we can all learn from this is that this build can do it all.

[@Rick-O-Shay60]

Love me some Monte. One of the most stylin' bodies GM ever made, Any year. This one is tight in blue by-you!

[@olveramelinda]

Idc what the paint looks like. That car is 🔥

[@Z06RFan]

What a great story and a super cool car. I agree with you Sean that those SS's are so cool and great lines.

Killer 84 Monte Carlo Always like those in the SS trim 😎👍👍🤙

[@cyclonekevin6199]

I like how subtle the car is, how lay back the owner is. Is that the original paint? Great video as always.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Don’t know about the paint but cool car and owner for sure

[@americanmusclehd]

She has been repainted once since I've owned it. The blue is a little lighter than factory and has some more metallic in it! 🙏🏽🤟🏽
