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.

You got my heart on this one. I had a 74 as my first car. Mine was floor shift with bucket seats. I wanted to do this exact thing to it.. I would love to have another Monte. You are lucky..

[@kevinhenson6969]

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

[@stephenstapler9996]

Ol fellers down here in Georgia really enjoy the channel and I ain’t kiddin ya!

[@mr.k6136]

I got a good feeling Derek's keeping this one for a good long while and why wouldn't he it's got everything a feller needs

[@RadNitro]

I have a deep love of the old MC's. Also had an old Grand Am with a small block 400. Sure brought back some fond memories for me on this one.

Reminds me of my 70 grand prix. Dad talked me into buying it when I was in high school. Didn't think it was cool till I opened up that 400 and laid down the rubber hitting 2nd gear!!

[@kingelvis7035]

@@stevenreynolds2327 It was the 302 at least. I think he really loved his first Ford - a '50 straight pipes.

@@kingelvis7035 I could've had one of my dad's friend's '62 Cadillac Biarritz convertible for $250 when I was a kid. We thought it was an ugly boat and bought a tired Spitfire instead and my brother promptly took out a street sign with it.

[@mhammer5]

A friend of my sister came over to the house with a 1974 factory 454 Monte Carlo, factory gauges and tachometer. Real cool. Then another cool car I saw in the early eighties was an insurance guy had a 1972 Impala two door convertible, black interior body color white with factory 454 and 454 emblems on the front fenders, cool and rare.

[@popsmorris5887]

Everything considered: pedal wear, interior condition etc…my money says that’s a 60-70,000 mile car. You scored big time….nice!

[@richardcrossley5581]

I wonder why it was parked, that transmission vacuum hose causing bad shifts?

[@niles006]

I agree, back in the day older people got nervous about keeping vehicles more that 50 60 thousand miles. My dad didn’t keep anything over 50000 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@niles006 UNless you kept them in good tune many would smoke well before 100k.

What an awesome episode. My first car was a 75 'Carlo and this brings back memories. I made it a "war wagon" as I was 16 years old. Ripped off the Landau top, took off the hubcaps, removed the air breather, and proceeded to treat it like General Lee. I think you should keep the ol gal. "War Wagon"!

Derek is awesome, definition of a man doing what he loves

When you find a car you love that smile can't help but slowly creep across your face.

[@fishingwithkar4871]

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.
