Test Drive 1985 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS $14,900 Maple Motors

[@lambchopLSX87]

I’ve had my 85 since I was 14, now almost 39 and it’s been wrecked 2x while parked 😂😂 3rd restoration hopefully in 25. Had it 25 years so it’s fitting.

[@haroldbirge6881]

🍀👀

[@mzaccagnini7179]

Those are great looking cars. That's the way to go by putting a 400 under the hood. Because they were way underpowered from the factory with that enemic 305.

[@montefiveforty1]

Whoever did the exhaust should be fired

[@CDT_Official91]

I was just going to comment on that. That’s ridiculous.

[@RonLaw82]

My first car was an 85 Monte Carlo. Paid 250 bucks for it in 97. Not an as or even a v8. Had the 4.3 but it was a tank and I was only 15. I’ve owned 3 since then, but still no SS. Hopefully I will one day

[@troybruner7517]

That car is beautiful and sounds great👍😀I can't believe somebody would put a Fram oil filter on such a nice car 😆

[@mzaccagnini7179]

Merry Christmas and HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!😊😊😊

[@whatthefox4787]

Still one of my Dream Cars especially with the 400. I like just about everything about this model.🤗

[@Lovecamping290]

Nice honest informative video, thank you, very important especially if someone coming from far away

[@ecc5119]

The G-body roll is a real thang.

[@yellowduck104]

You got something leaking on the header and pipes pinched needs more flow for power

[@DarrinR.-pq8md]

Transmission pan leaking. 😮 If it looks like a Hot Rod, then it's been hot rodded. I'd rather have one perfectly stock.

[@adamnarbeaux5898]

Love the sound!❤

[@richardj.chaparrosr.9810]

Me3 I like it 👋🏽💯💯

[@indemniman1623]

Happy New Year ! Love that MC SS body style.

[@ricknichol260]

Dope $7500

[@justsumguy2u]

Happy New Year, Nick! I hope you have a good one, and I'm looking forward to more hot rods at Maple Motors in 2025. And damn, that Monte sounds good....

[@spooley]

Weld Dragstar wheels are period correct, many a G-body wore those beauties, a lot of the GNs at the track incl

[@Carl_Jr]

For women on their period? What?

[@truspirit1925]

Love these cars but not for 14 grand

[@wileecoyote5749]

20 grand?

[@BillyBob-jb3yy]

Maybe offer 8

[@truspirit1925]

@BillyBob-jb3yy that would be about right

[@bigty1k]

Nice she sounds good! I have a burgundy 85 too also have a 406 sbc ready to go in after a few more parts arrive can't wait!

[@RealLegend1776]

You have the best cars man for fair prices.

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Thanks for watching 👍 thank you for the feedback

[@tombankwel4822]

Black as the batmobile, cool ,the dark knight could make this beauty in to a cool batmobile, thanks Nick great video stay cool and a happy new year to you and your familly 😊😊😊😊😊

[@garycordle5295]

I sure do miss my 83 SS 👍 needs a little TLC but once you get it to par 🔥 you can do the g body shuffle.

[@Goonygoon84]

Be careful of debt incurred when buying this, it looks like the exhaust was reminded that it owes someone some money.

[@chrisharriman9017]

Didn't even kick down . Might be manual valve body trans or t.v cable not hooked up

[@mastergunnerysgt1258]

She needs some work but she's a runner and I like that fact.

[@haroldbirge6881]

🏆King of Cool back then😎pretty damn cool now🐶✌️

[@MichaelWagner-o3i]

Not a bad price, these things have been going up in price. A beat up stock one is 8k to 10k up here in Northeast. Seeing nice ones going for 20k. Obviously someone put some $$ into that motor . aluminum heads, rad and fans , pulleys etc. Why do they always leave that torque converter cover off though lol.. and you shoulda kept going straight and ran that Nissan Nick

[@98wytebird]

they put the cover back on after they shoot the underneath video 😜

[@Musicman-y7v]

Still a great looking car.

[@mickeydudley5191]

Not on the website. Already sold?

[@jappsautomotive4210]

It has an 8.5 rear end. That can handle a lot of power.

[@user-cf1um5fr5u]

Got it's battle scars but still a great car.

[@tonytrumble]

The engine sounds healthy. It'll sell quickly

[@KING-FU]

Every time now that I see a SS Monte from that era, I can’t believe how disproportionately long the hood / nose look. Still pretty cool cars, but when I was in HS, that trait didn’t seem so exaggerated. JS

[@thomasarriaga6587]

Yup...good looking car...rims make it stand out

[@Lovecamping290]

Nice ride, but definitely needs some money dumped into it, but what second hand car from that era doesn't need some sort of work to it, love the gauge set up on it, sorry never been a weld wheels fan, but looks ok on that car, nothing a good $20,000 to bring back to where I would want it

[@madmike2624]

Great opening music Nick! Happy new year to you and all your subscribers!!~

[@d.davis2009]

Have a Great New Year Nick. Best to you and yours.

[@Jr_2Sly]

Good price for sumbody who wants to restore this car 🤔🤔🤔

[@classiccorvettesmusclecars5846]

The dog 305 is gone….Still should get an LS swap…

[@jamesstead1496]

Don't get me wrong, nice looking ( 20 ft). Can't run it in New York State. Not a bad price, just needs a little TLC in my book. That's not going to last long on your lot!!

[@tonygagliardi5010]

Love it. Nice ride

[@kevinarmstrong751]

Car looks decent on the outside , I would spend 15 grand to customize the interior though it looks so dated .

[@TimboWhite-w7b]

Great Looking Video Of A Monte Carlo There My Good Little Bro Nick Southgate Sir Of Maple Motors

[@nathanielbrush3396]

This car is freaking awesome

[@ricknichol260]

No T-tops

[@foobitt1]

It could use a Big #3 on the doors😉🏁🏁🏁🏁

[@heyman764]

If I had space this is one I’d buy

[@WadeFerguson-x2v]

Sweet Monty ss eh

[@droca1984]

Can get one in better shape for cheaper

[@randylenart9674]

Sounds great

[@Carl_Jr]

I could easily see Nick getting into a whole lot of trouble if he owned this car! 😂

[@jeromesmith6415]

Put some 411s back there

[@MichaelCackovic]

👍🏼

[@DaleBlice]

Not a bad start for someone to get in the hobby can drive right now work on it as you go

[@ROLLIN-DUB]

MCSS got something to say- man if I had the money, all I can do is look at it.

[@roysandoval8230]

Need A/C down here in the South, I’ll pass on this one

[@rogozzy1]

What mass is spinning behind the engine in plain view?

[@BradCollison-k5w]

Torque converter. Doesn’t have a cover on this car.

[@rogozzy1]

@@BradCollison-k5w Thanks for Answering.

[@twistedtrucker7781]

Anyone notice the wet oil and smoke on the right side of the engine when he done the drive over????

[@mikekosar6135]

With out a question My favorite Mid 80’s Car.. It exuded “MUCLE CAR”..

[@BillyBob-jb3yy]

Def chic magnet big back seat

[@craigm2484]

Nice car and motor can I make a suggestion check out the tale of 2 Monte Carlos on Lenos Garage both like off the showroom floor Great story behind them they belonged to brothers .

[@user-cf1um5fr5u]

I'll have to rewatch the video

[@zelly1327]

Nice S

[@ssom7291ify]

Is that Auto Auction Rebuilds car??

[@elijah2078]

Not a bad car.

[@55555711]

It's fast 😮❤

[@rosco92088]

I want one bad as hell

[@mzaccagnini7179]

The build quality from the factory on those cars sucked. But with alot of work and a good paint job and TLC you could bring them around!

[@markswede1737]

Flex plate/Flywheel cover always missing. What a hacked up exhaust should of just side piped it. Should have your mullet wig on driving that car.

[@s197mustangfan]

I think that automatic is killing the power delivery

[@TyBlack-dc1fi]

I'm sorry sir but it's not worth that

[@JorgePalomo-u2u]

Si

[@JeffHarms-p6u]

I agree but it’s to late now let it ride or fix the way you want

[@nathanielbrush3396]

I'm from Southeast Texas

[@BillyBob-jb3yy]

Had a 86 had 200,000 before it went if taken more care

[@mikesawyer4707]

By the 80s you were buying the SS image and not a very good one at that. 😂

[@roymorgan5498]

Thanks again! 👌

[@skyraiser9]

NOw that is a trunk you can store some bodies in

[@madmike2624]

Place your bets....Does it have a torque converter cover....NOPE!!~ LOL

[@michaelratliff7775]

Nice ride but it needs the factory mags back on it! 😎

[@Carl_Jr]

Mags? Mags? "Mags" were made of magnesium. Trust me. GM never put "mags" on a car, ever.

[@Detroitmuscle74]

Who in the heck builds a runner with factory wheels redicoulous

[@GMCTIM]

😁❤👍

[@robloxgachalifeanimals8655]

is this thing smoking?

[@ricknichol260]

Damn you're one of those guys at the gas station when the pump in front of you is free to pull up to you just block them both

[@BingoMomi]

Not if the other car is coming in from the opposite direction

[@stephenbarabas6286]

You are 1 of those weak guys that complains about something that doesn't even impact you. 🙄

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

It had a bag on it, pump was out in front of me

[@wileecoyote5749]

Trump please hurry

[@chris_htepo]

Hellyeah! Make everything so expensive we can't afford anything more YES!

[@bud1lite]

Yeah it’s not going to be the miracle people think……

[@billsterling5790]

Soooooooooo you are oneof those people who dont pull up the the next pump.................

[@stephenbarabas6286]

Did he block you from getting off your couch? Or do you just like to cry about something that didn't impact you?

[@ricknichol260]

$10.000

[@Frstn20]

Sorry guys! But I'm just not a big fan of anything from the 80's.. Yes the SS Monte Carlo was kinda cool and the Grand National was really cool but other than that I'd stick to pickups.! They're great, even the Toyota's with that R22 engine. Personally I've had 2 and also an 87 Silverado that I loved.! But for me if it isn't a '73' model vehicle or older, I'm not interested.! Not a true classic in my book, but I am 61 lol...

[@ricknichol260]
