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.

Wait till you see the recommendation for his other channel! Vice Grip Lodge... now he's got ur whole evening covered!

Agreed

[@user-up7ep7ds5p]

Love how the acceleration sounds like it is saying "yeahhhhh" then third gear drops in sounding like "Oh, Yeahhhhh". It cheers a guy up seeing a guy experience his work bring a smile to his face. Keep up the good work and keep feeding tha onion's! God speed brother :)

74 Monte Carlo was my first car! Awesome memories, thanks Derek!

[@remusallrod]

Sweet Monte. That body style was from 73-77. That’s my favorite body style.

[@bigassfordsd]

i has a 76 Grand prix at one point. Pontiacs version of this. I had a 350 poncho though. was an awesome car, but the northeast winters took their toll and rusted her badly. Still want another one someday, hopefully with the 455.

[@Land_Raver]

Derek, I love everything you do but cmon man. You can't keep dropping videos like this late Friday. The grass is not getting mowed, the exhaust leak is not getting fixed, and the wife's yelling why have you been in the bathroom for an hour.

[@RastaMafinPL]

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!

[@1snoopy011]

My cousin had a Monte Carlo with the swinging captain's chairs in front. I thought it was the coolest car ever when I was a kid. Have always loved them since. That one is a keeper, how fun! Get some paint and tires and that will be a fun around town vehicle. Enjoy!

[@paulranisate7150]

The tire smoke rolling in from the rear deck brings back some good memories! Love me a nice Smokey burnout even with one wheel

[@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.

[@stephencarter1442]

You earned mad respect from me after a week with El Toro. Your approach is second to none. It's like you verbalize what I have always been thinking. My kid doesn't understand disconbualted. But you do. Keep up it up Derek love the content.

[@dougcreekmore3930]

Absolutely my favorite Monte Carlo! Never seen one with a supercharger. Sweet!! Love that sound!

Makes two of us. Only needs minor bodywork and a fresh, proper paint job and she'll be turning fellers' heads RIGHT NOW!!!!!

[@kevinhenson6969]

Definitely keep this one , what's the odds of finding another one that clean

[@cliffordscott6415]

Repainting to the original color, dark blue vinyl top, new rally wheels and tires, bumper fillers, add posi traction, Dual Flowmaster Exhaust, correct wipers……. That would be sweet!! She sounds awesome!!

[@cynthiablake6208]

What a great teacher Derek is. And he's so much fun to watch!

[@bbodinefan11]

To find a 70s chevy with that lil rust is amazing.

[@evanmasterson2857]

I wish I knew even a quarter of the stuff you do. I am slowly learning and restoring my grandpas old truck. Funny thing is that I’m in the same state as you so often run into similar problems on any car. You’re a huge inspiration for me to always keep going….remind me it can be done and have fun with it.

[@-DEATHSTROKE]

Start with building some car models. This might sound silly too you but I assure you, that alone will give you a massive understanding on vehicles and their parts and running gear.

[@ryurc3033]

@@-DEATHSTROKE I never realized how much of my youth building model cars was preparing me for the path I took. At some point my dad saw what I was building, and gave me a dremel And safety glasses. The modifacations never stopped. And its definitely how I got brave enough to start taking a saw and grinder to my real car.

[@mastersergant1287]

i bought a 1977 kz650 bike not running and it needed a whole new harness, but i soldered all new wires where corrosion was apparent. no idea what im doing, but the service manual is awesome for the help it gives. good luck with your restoration

[@haydenb8853]

Derek inspired me to save the minty1972 Buick electra in his barn.

[@nicholasdial8213]

My grandparents drove an 87 monte carlo forever (bought it brand new when I was born), the absolute slickest car there ever was. All original and my grandpa babied on it. That was their going to town rig forever til they sold it when I was in high school

37:00,....Clint Black is still just, "Killin' Time."

The burnout at the end. As all the tyre smoke came back into the cabin I could taste it. Keep it but try get that grotty paint off and get back to the original metallic blue
