I had a '74 Monte Carlo. Looked just like that one. Mine was a brown metallic with a 350 in it. The only real problem I had with it was the transmission went out. I got one from a junk yard for $150, a guy put it in for $150 and it ran like new then. Great car. I drove it to Denver, then went over the continental divide but not through the Eisenhower tunnel, instead I drove the old hwy 6 that goes over the top of the mountains. I passed a sign that said 13,000 feet and kept going up some before it started back down. That Chevy 350 seemed to have as much power up there as it did at sea level. Great engine. It was a little harder to start at high altitude but once running very little difference.

I'd love to see you bring er back to original color. Loved watching this video just like all the others. Derek you have the greatest personality, making your videos such a pleasure to watch!

A nice shift kit and do a little drilling on the fluid port’s. Lizzie would be a nice name. But there’s better I’m sure. Thanks buddy for the great videos.

ugh and to add to the sadness this video also reminds me of a friend of mine for 20yrs or more we lost to diabetus at the end of last yr, he had one of these when we were growing up.. love all the hard work you share with us.. we all appreciatecha

[@Clintcellington]

This is definitely my favorite episode. I'm a fan of 400 sbc. But besides that, you can keep a guy gigglin like a school girl in pigtails. 😂😂😂

[@2024home]

Ummmm....Because it is an ex-High School Auto Shop "take it apart and back together 40 hours a week car"? @Derek

[@TangoCharlieAlpha]

The smoke....slowly wafting into the back window................priceless!!

[@PeterSmith-or3pq]

Love that !. Good ol dYs

[@normanhopfensperger4343]

Did you ever do a burnout on your mainstreet, using an Olds 98/skirts? It keeps the smoke under control. I did one behind a Camaro, across the street from a city cop!! 🤭🤭🤭 Guess who got 🤪 from the 👮

[@dipwaded]

That was awesome

[@campcrafter4613]

and he is just talking away . good stuff.

[@gordocarbo]

70s and 80s these had smoke wafting outta most windows Indica was popular then

[@mattballengee8002]

Some how this feller gets more and more hilarious with each episode love this type of content keep em coming best channel on KZbin watching this episode made my day cant stop laughing cant wait to see more on the Ole Monee Crispo

[@cungpow1467]

yeah reminds me of Joe dirt

[@tenpointarcher]

You should name it “The Full Monte”

[@mikebroadhead9875]

HAHa I said the same thing!

[@grizzlyaddams3606]

The Stol Monte

[@deanfender3076]

I had a 75 Landau with a 454 brown with a tan land Out roof trimmering center caps built in tack swivel buckets did some work to the heads and that car ran only difference that it had different real lights in the back it had the Chrome run through the back lights

[@ARK842001]

A set of good shocks would make her less wayward when you're leaning on the skinny pedal.

[@Onewheelordeal]

That is what shocks do but I don't think that's gonna cut it 47:05

[@douglasnicholls1366]

Those ARE good shocks. We're talking '70's Monte Carlo here. Road feel was not the objective.

[@RzrSryder]

Now, its time to call out ol' Cleetus and his "stock" Marauder.

[@littlelifters7543]

The latest sloppy radio show guest, Cameron Powers, who used to own the marauder, explains some of the servicing he did to the car.

[@zekeb2142]

Watching that smoke rolling in the back window seal, made me giggle like a little girls. HAHAHA...

[@Txmetal416]

In the early 90s I acquired a 1973 caprice classic with same engine, I removed it put an a performer intake, comp 260 cam, headers and quadrajet dropped it in an 82 Swb Chevy truck, it ran 15.5s at the strip with 3.08 gears ! Great motor! I really enjoy your channel!

[@mattv8919]

factory heads no stall street tires?

[@Txmetal416]

@@mattv8919 yes they were original heads I believe were 882 castings(small valves). I even used the transmission out of the caprice it was a 375 turbo which I think was a long tail 400 turbo. Fun times

You can't name it a dudes name

[@pepperfreak4780]

This was a guys first car……nice. The doors weigh more than a Chevette.

[@edwardalamo2507]

Not much room in the foot wells, I remember!

[@leahcimthgirw3163]

Hey I owned that remark an 83 Chevette that is

[@tinkerne-round4079]

I laid one on its side in a ditch. I remember standing on the transmission tunnel pushing that heavy ass door open to climb out. We got it back on the road and fired it right up .

[@ericwhite8062]

LOL, had them both a Monte and the Chevette. Doors definately weighed more, Also my hood hinges on the Monte left the bow on the hood. Had a cardboard beer flat on back seat floor so my passagers wouldn't step through. That car was such a POS, but I drove it for years.

[@buffering7612]

I wouldn’t call it a sleeper in 2021.. virtually no one has a stock 74 Carlo and if they did it would be mint or not worth restoring!!

[@DevJB]

I think I've never seen a 74 before myself. Unless I was drunk at a car show.

[@mluiso23]

My 77 landau is 100% unmolested with only 31k original miles....bought it right before Covid hit and when I pulled out the plugs, they were the original plugs. Car literally sat for 29 years in a garage and was only started 1x a month from th original owner. Had only the usual rust holes at the landau edge and trunk. 2 holes each side size of a quarter. Taught my 14 year old how to do some body work lol. Still even has original paint GM #48. 100% a rarity for a car like this found in Boston MA tho 🌞🌦🌨❄☃️

[@batmanbatman5027]

Throw a pause traction rear end in it that a hold it straight while it's burns rubber I Love them old cars and trucks easy too work on and they gott real style about them I Love that old car you call Rocky.

[@goatlord6255]

I fell in love with the monte Carlos after my brothers best friend bought one, it was a beast!!! 400 sb with a cam and headers, would vaporize the tires on command… I think it was a 74…

[@ruf1970]

"Smell's like burnt Pop Tarts & sunflowers" LOL !!!! 😂

Burnt pop farts and some flower ?

Once you get past the smell and first couple inches she rides like new 😜

Yeah once you get passed the smell .. you got her licked!

[@thomaschampagne4536]

Hi Derek, I have a 406 sbc, I’m thinking of adding boost (turbo or supercharger). My question is, “How necessary is it to have the increased ring gap?” Is a stock motor ok with standard ring gap if boost is kept at 6-8 lbs?

You’re the Bob Ross of mechanical engineers. Such a good channel.

I had a 75 when I was a kid back in 97 that had the captain seats that swiveled and a center console. The seats were awesome though they turned sideways so you can get in and out easier I loved it.
