I think once a fan shroud gets that long, it's technically called a wind tunnel.
Lmao
Funny
Hahahaha! That's a Monte.
With a hood that long, you could almost fit a second engine in there.. I guess they thought "it looks a bit empty.. just lengthen the shroud.."
@@MattExzy Truth!
"It's like a unicorn without the corn...it's pretty good." God bless this guy.
Name it the "Cornilator"
Came here to say this.
no law way out there in the
country, that smoke in the
back seat, PRICELESS..
It's like a unicorn without the orn......it's missing it's horn.
God has blessed US with HIM.
“It absolutely gets down and …eats the onions” this guy is too much. Great talent, great entertainment.
Hey Derek ! Roger here. I had several Monte Carlo's when I was young. They are all light in the front and the doors after a bit, fall and start shattering the door glass. But, I still love these cars. Thanks for bringing back a lot of memories. You Rock Dude.
"Don't want to get the hands dirty", cause it's taco night" A guys got to appreciate that.
It's just common courtesy.
A fella loves hearing an engine scream down the street as opposed to a loud exhaust system.
I CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE
You might be looking at the wrong cars there then go check them electric boys out
I enjoy hearing the air growling into the carb sound more than the exhaust sound, too.
Yep; we got a Charger (V6, I think...) in the neighborhood which sounds like it's got a trombone for an exhaust!
Lol yeah .. some would rather hear a fat boy fart .. than hear a pretty girl sing !
@@CoIoneIPanic Oh like my 98 Civic DX with my $95 SS Ricer Muffler that's loud enough with the silencer in? Pull off the silencer and of course, the noise probably adds like another 35hp to a 105hp engine until the cops pull you over for a loud muffler! My 07 Si(turbo with 197hp) does circles around my 98 Civic DX, and my 95 Dodge Cummins 500+hp diesel does circles around my SI (never tested, but Probably 14 sec 1/4 mile?). Without a boosted launch it will do about 70-75 mph in 3/10 mile, 1/2-3/4 throttle! Probably the fastest Cummins in my county! About 0-70 in 6-7 seconds!
Visualize in your mind , a 78 trans am shaker scoop poking though the hood of a 74 Monte Carlo ! That’s what I did to mine. I attached it to the inside of the hood directly over the carb and made fully functional. Every body thought it was a factory setup ! It looked sooo good.
2 years later and watching it again. Love this episode.
You know, a guy is inclined to like anything that makes wind go faster
You like baked beans then ? 😊🤔
@@andrewmeadows2596 what kinda fella doesn't
I love me my computer fans!
That's the truth!!!
@@LULZHERE baked beans with that spicy Italian sausage and bell pepper!
Can't forget the sweet baby Ray's and brown sugar!
You're welcome!
He finally added a sound effect to bleep bloop, that’s awesome😂
I thought maybe a spicy word came zinging out Lol
19:42
and 48:53
It startled me a bit, for second I thought I'd leant on the landline handset I haven't had for two decades.
👍
@@ThePower1037 a few too many cold snacks have a tendency to release the Kraken.
Everything considered: pedal wear, interior condition etc…my money says that’s a 60-70,000 mile car. You scored big time….nice!
I wonder why it was parked, that transmission vacuum hose causing bad shifts?
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.
My mom bought a new 74 Monte because she fell in love when she saw it. Steel gray, black landau top with black interior and buckets. She never asked about the motor. Yea, it was a 400 and it would rip. Not as well as the one she got rid of though. She said that one was hard to drive and had too much power. That one was a 71 Monte with a 454. Loved that cal. Thanks for the memories
DIg them too. One long heavy car but they cruise on the fwy so well!
We would drive cross country like most in the summers going state to state these were perfect with that ice cold R12 ac. Back when chit was built to last!
That supercharger has been mounted more times than Hugh Hefner
Hahahahahahaha
LMAO!!!
@@My22lbAbby hahahaha
Thought you were gonna put Obummer for a minute.
That black-hole-sized fan shroud … !!! Yes!
it's bigger than my kettle grill 😂
First time watching your video and I feel like you’re the bob ross of hot rods
My favorite part of all these restoration videos is when you describe the smell! Burnt pop tarts and sunflower seeds 😅😅. I can image the smell every time!
She’s a keeper fer sure!! Add her to the collection cause she’s got the curves a guy likes!👌🏻👀
Started the video with a whine. My goodness. That’s why your my favorite TH-camr.
👊👊
I second that,love on point bulids,builds, seen ya mad.Ive been hooked since the first time you said "who needs breaks "
Gurs got a perfect BLACK complete dash fer the
'Seven~Four MONTE'.
*Question::How does a guy git ahold-o-Mr.'D' to complete the PRO-ject(¿¡*
The 400 small block Chevy was externally balanced, it has an 8" harmonic balancer with a section of it missing so it's pretty much all you need to look at.
When these Monte Carlo's were new, the handling was incredible. (For that time.) And they were pretty quick. I had one and loved dogging on it.
Never seen a guy do a calmer burnout. Only reaction is "it's makin boost", classic.
Right he sounds like he's on Weed which is great medicine for many problems I use it every day it helps my diabetes problems
I'm with ya... and from a guy that hasn't bothered to put a couple bolts in to hook up the seat beltalators... But sometimes ejection is the best plan
He needs to sell VGG shirts that say, It's makin' boost...... 😂😂😂
@@marsdenbalaska784 How does weed help?
That year was a good car
This gentleman has always been my therapy I have a super stressful job as a mechanic for a construction company that is commercial. I get home and I’m always excited to watch his videos because it works like therapy he’s so calm in every situation and it helps me to be calm in my situation. Don’t even know him but look at him like a mentor
Yes,, he has to be the calmest, laid back mechanic on TH-cam,,,or one of a few..goes through some beauty cars.
Never seen a guy so even tempered. Editing? : )
Let's ask Jessica?,, When's the next Live??
This is one of my all time favorite cars. Would love to see a complete restore! Classic fast boat 🤣
Hard to restore, no replacement or repop parts
74 Monte Carlo was my first car! Awesome memories, thanks Derek!
"It modulates" Love it! The smoke creeping in the back seat is great.
She's a heavy smoker
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.
😂😂 I feel your.paint got the same
Hahahaha yes mate 👌
'no wife...happy life'
lol at hiding in bathroom.
Women.......
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.
One of my all time favorite car styles! Had a 77, then a 76 in the late 80s to the mid 90s. Damn but I wish I still had the 76.
The smoke....slowly wafting into the back window................priceless!!
Love that !. Good ol dYs
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 👮
That was awesome
and he is just talking away . good stuff.
70s and 80s these had smoke wafting outta most windows
Indica was popular then
Yes, I've been waiting for this. Just the inspiration I need to get back to work on my 74
Jealous of your monte
When I was a kid my parents had a 74 had the swivel bucket seats
@@leahcimthgirw3163 Awesomeness. We had a 73 with swivel buckets.
Thought the same thing about my 84
@@leahcimthgirw3163 mine did too.
I love this car too. I owned a 1973 with a 350, had it back in the 80s. They are much fun to drive and float on the highway.
Looking at that dash and steering wheel brought back memories.
The one I drove was blue with the black top and had swivel bucket seats, power windows and locks, rally rims.
Absolutely my favorite Monte Carlo! Never seen one with a supercharger. Sweet!! Love that sound!
Omg I'm laughing my ass off watching that smoke creeping through the back seat that was awesome...
That was the best part of this video.. besides all the commentary
One of the best episodes so far had me dying on the drive. Awesome content.
"We just laid patch till 70 APPROVED"
Wow that's great 👍
The funny thing about 70's cars is... the clock was often the first thing to break.
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
Watching you smile while testing the car and talking about having to upgrade the suspension for safety purposes was the best part. :)
The new *bleep bloop* sound effect really catches a guy off guard
I had headphones on, I was looking around Incase it was an alarm or something
Checked my phone...
Glad I wasn't the only one 😂
Sounded like a power probe
Lmfao the bleep bloop caught a guy off guard guy! Feller one hella funny guy!
Please don’t stop making these videos. You are unique and funny. Not sold out and fake. Thank you for being a man of “actual” class and respect.
The high fidelity noises at 30:00 are so hysterically right. Derek is the Victor Borge of the automotive world.
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!
factory heads no stall street tires?
@@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
I love the engineering that went into the headrests in those old cars. They provide zero insurance and comfort!.
@@Tone-if2dy definitely the fact that a modern 2-litre can make that much power is crazy so I will admit that a VW doesn't look as cool as that big American land yacht
I love the old short seat backs, these new ones are waaaaaaaaaay to tall, and you cant see round them sumbitches!!.
,
How about the name the full monty
@@sparkplug2646 we still had Drive in Movie Theaters in the Mid 70's high back seats would of Caused injuries crawling into the back seat with your date lol.
while hes drivin her u can see how happy he is it made me smile
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..
We need more content with this car, I've only watched 3 times already
Yes, need to see it hook on dry pavement. Maybe get Crang to drag race the firebird or the Challenger against this car.
My guess is that it went something like this.
“Well junior, good news and bad news. Bad news is that your grandma keeled over. Good news is that you get to have that super clean Monte Carlo of hers. Now don’t you go doin nothing stupid to it."
It has the teenage touch, the easy custom changes, paint wheels tires battery radio, valve covers but nothing mechanical
Exactly what I was thinkin.
Pretty sure that's exactly how it went. So of course Junior went right out and bought ten cans of Krylon.
YUP!
I was going to say the exact thing
Brings back fond memories of my youth. In the 80s when I was in my 20s I had a green '75 Landau with a white top and interior. Blew my 6x9s and installed house speakers and always had a bottle of Jim Beam under the seat. Went to hell and back in that beast and she never let me down.
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.
Thanks Derek, at around 28.00 thats a neat way described to roughly get the timing set. As long as everything else is ok,
( fuel, compression etc.) the engine will fire (start) Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺
Derek is the “Car Whisperer”. Never seen a guy so good with cars! Amazing how he can take any old POS that’s sat in a field for 20 years and get it running again! Fascinating guy and funny as hell!
He's the most entertaining car channel, no doubt. His personality is second to none. I was thinking, he's so great and has no haters because he's able to point out every fault in a dry sarcastic way. Most channels you have Haters that constantly point out the flaws but Derek embraces and it is most of his content 😂. This guy is gold.
Hell yesss I'm so stoked Junkyard digs Dylan Mccool and VGG In 1 day 😲 is this heaven?!?!?
Yes it is👍😎
Me tooo
You forgot ThunderHead289. He also let one out today, 64 Ford Cruiser.
@@SanProsan1993 that was a good video too I watched it good call bro 🤙
About to go watch Dylan now!!!!
i wish i had half the knowledge you have as a mechanic. its amazing to me. love your videos
I LOVE YOUR WORDING ON THE NARRATION ALONG WITH THE NOISES..I REALLY ENJOY THE CHANNEL,NEVER BORING...IM A BACKYARD MECHANICAND I OWN 1991 FIREBIRD,1977 CHARGER,1978 OLDS OMEGA,1974 MAVERICK,AND A 1979 CHRYSLER 300. ALL THE CARS YOU DO ARE RIGHT UP MY ALLEY. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, HAPPY VIEWER HERE...THANK YOU
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.
Dang. A guy is really giving this unit some loving with the parts. I can’t wait to see more of this ole girl.
My wife brought a '71 to the marriage, dowry.
400/400 was that pretty metal sky blue with the full Naugahyde roof.
What I liked was the trunk were so big and the sheet metal so thick that when the barkeep put the buckshot to us, the pellets didn't make it through into the back seat.
I LOVE the sound of that super charger. I love that car too 😍
Name for that rig?
"Full Monte".
Yvonne (De Carlo).
I seen that movie back in the 90's🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ok I like it. I was thinking Black N Blue.
Marteen Landauuuu
Monte Krylo
I'd really like to see a guy put some shine on this old girl.
Makes two of us. Only needs minor bodywork and a fresh, proper paint job and she'll be turning fellers' heads RIGHT NOW!!!!!
Like Vice Grip Garage because he is a real guy not a rock n roll star. Enjoy it because he does projects that are within reach. GOOD LUCK.
Love this video My buddy had a 76 Monte and I had a 76 Fury. Although my 318 would really go. I sure wish I never got rid of that car. Had to keep a supply of regulators, starters, and Alternators for all my Dodges and Plymouths. Probably why I went to Olds then to Chevy.
First time I've had my house to myself in over 3 years for a weekend while the wife and kid are on a trip and what am I doing on a Friday night?
Yup, watching vice grip garage
Like the old saying goes, who needs an affair when there's a burly bearded man with pliers, a burnt supercharger, and a sneaky Monte on TH-cam?
If your Friday night is this good just imagine how great Saturday night is going to be!
Time well spent!
@@CrashRacknShoot LMFAO!!!!
Well, you're a shmuck, but a good husband, LMAO! 🤣
Hey Derek, I just wanted to give you a compliment. I ve always enjoyed your channel , I look forward to seeing evey episode as soon as you post them . When I finish giggling at your humor I can't help but notice how well you narrate . The editing is so well done. Thank you for bringing such a enjoyable episode every week .👍💯🇺🇲
Definitely 👍agreed!!
Not much on TH-cam makes me laugh, but he sure does! Lol
🇺🇸 🦅
47:34 The smoke rollin' out of the right rear passengers headliner! 😜 😂 😀
I had a 454 in my 86 Monte light baby blue exterior dark interior..hood scoop...had to redo all the suspension to ss and had flows 350 holly double pumper ..it was set up for nitros buti loved that car..now that I'm older I love the 70s monte
I almost lost my tuna sandwich when a feller started to sing the "bra, bra, bra, "gasolina" song at 43:49 , on his way to get some "gasolina". Happy he included some jerky body movements to complete the sale!!! lol!!
I started cracking up to. This guy is great
haha same
I keep hoping for a full-on song fest from Derek!
"Moses SANDALS" was my favorite for the longest time, but that has now been replaced. "Mary's bo staff!" is the hip new thing all the kids are saying it seems.
Brings back some old memories, as I once had a lite cream/yellow colored, 1973 Monte Carlo with a hopped up 350, and swivel bucket seats, and a white vinyl top. It also had some of the widest doors i’ve ever seen on a car.
Had a 71 Monte, my first muscle car back when I was 20 in 2000. Called it the black bomber. Great times
There's nothing I DON'T love about this guy and his channel. Perfection 👌
Well said
💯 %
rt
I'm with ya on that CAM
I over one millionth that opinion. Sir..
To find a 70s chevy with that lil rust is amazing.
I loved mine. Mine was equiped with the swivel bucket seats, and cônsole shift. Put a posi in it. And the trunk had room for a body.
My aunt loved Monte Carlos. Her favorite was a 78 Monte that had a 6.6L 400ci small block with a Edelbrock 4barell carb on day one. Her boyfriend on day two dug into the parts leftover from his smashed 78 Vette. He transplanted a Weiand 177 series long nose single carb blower, Weiand intake manifold,New Weiand high temp/high pressure metal gaskets and mounting hard ware H2O high temp therm, Holley 1250cfm duel pump electronic 4port 16 jet fuel injection carb replacement unit in fire blue, MSD HEI Coil, distributor, plug wires, Iridium tip Y split plugs, Weiand chrome tall valve covers with T handle bolts, MSD programmable ECU. The car already had ported and polished Alum Ram Air IV Hydraulic Flat Heads w/hardened 4130 TRP hardware, COMP Cams Hydraulic Flat Tappet Cam, Alloy Roller Rocker Arms, COMP double roller stainless timing chain, Ceramic Hugger Headers.
Someone should start a car club that consists of large 70s era cars like this and call it “The Yacht Club”. You know that Monte Carlo rides like a cloud!
The Monte was a mid size,more of a runabout than a yacht. There were plenty of land yachts for sure in '74. Big bucks,oldsmobiles, lincolns, Ford's,caddies and Chrysler's. I think you have a good idea for a yacht club. It's about time people start those big boats some love.
@@kenworth2343 yeah you’re right about it being mid-sized. The Gran Prix was a big one if I’m thinking of the correct body style. I’ve got a 70 LeMans Sport coupe and a 73 Mach 1 I need to start working on!
@@John-4649 They we’re great cruising cars. My 73 had the same split bench. I could fit five young ladies in the car with me and cruise around. That car was the only cool thing about me.
@@toddingram1198 Mine isn’t original unfortunately. Someone put the GTO buckets and console up front. The back seat is missing, and finding a good frame for it under $300 will be fun. The Mach 1 thankfully is all there and numbers matching. It needs to be restored but the interior isn’t that bad.
Apparently Todd, those five young ladies thought there was something cool about you... It couldn't be just the car.
Watch the hood hinges... they like to stiffen up on guy, then the hood bends in half , and I ain't kiddin ya
Like Chevy square body trucks.
@jefferey johnson exately, just needs it before it bends!
@jefferey johnson indeed, as long as you follow up with an actual lubricant
Get the seafoam spray look, er up
The guy has expertise man. He just manages to make it happen! What looks like impossible situation he figures out a way. Guy is unreal. Keep them coming guy.
Boy this definitely the best car guy and gal channel. I put your shows on in the morning and how can a guy not smile while watching and learn a thing or 2 or 3 or 4
Yeah would definitely like to see more of the monte , she sounds like a ripper
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
I'd love to see more of the ole landau edition,one of my favorite episode and what a unit, definitely going to town level stuff.
This is one of the best episodes on this channel. Please find more cars that are abandoned for decades and do the right thing by supercharging them and doing sick Burnouts!
"Could this be 61,000 actual miles??" Considering the wear item you've shown us we think that likely it is for real a 61K actual miles Landau!.
Don't know why, but when you found the "problem" with the wipers, I laughed so hard!
That was absolutely hilarious I was in stitches😂🤣😂🤣
I'll be dipped, blue tooth wiper blades. Look at the upgrades on this landoo
Love this episode. I had a 79 Monte.Carlo Landau. Black with red interior, bucket seats with the shifter in the console. 305 with a 4 barrel Quadrajet. I believe it had a 200 turbo hydramatic. After adjusting the timing and the carburetor the car could move pretty good.. The most reliable car that I've ever had. I miss that car.
1974 Monte. My first car. Great car, spentn2 months in the driveway changing the cam. HYOOGE engine compartment. Could crawl in, shut the hood, and still play basketball.... LOL.
Glad you found the SD card for this one, was looking forward to seeing it
Birria tacos, cerveza and Derek with VGG beating on a second gen Monte what a beautiful Friday evening it is!
Catching up on what I missed: Three inches past the A pillar to dump the water! Brilliant!
I can just smell the cooked interior in that thing. I have always been a Trans Am/Camaro guy, and not so much the Monte Carlo/LeMans/GN type, but that thing gets it! It looks like a fun ride!
I wonder if you could remove the outer layer of paint and get the original paint to shine?
Great minds think alike!
I was thinking that same thing.
I was thinking the same thing. I'd start with mineral spirits.
U guys must watch mustie 1
I'd love to see him bring the paint around as well.
Properly go faster...Who knows.... Probably not.
“Moses sandals this thing is fast”, “did I just swallow a tooth?”. Love the first and second gen. Monte Carlos, I had a ‘77 Landau 350 4bbl, swivel buckets, console car. Now I want it back.
@@NoWr2Run I had a 77 with white swivel seats.
I robbed a set of those seats 30ish years ago to put in my 55 Chevy 2-door. Alas, still not finished yet, but watching this sure does help motivate a guy!! Thanks !
I have the same car with a 383 stroker and a 150 shot of NOS, 355 posi and a B and M tranny. Body is straight, interior clean. Lots of fun.
even tho im a diehard bmw guy and know nothing bout american cars i enjoy watching these videos alot
That one's a keeper, D-wreck. The round-headlight Montes and Malibus look way better than the 4 eyed square ones.
Always a good feeling when you discover an unused zip tie on the floor. It's like a gift from the car gods.
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
Just saw your O'Reilly's add Derrick. Just awesome.. I'm happy for you with all your success. Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy.
This guy just makes me happy
37:00,....Clint Black is still just, "Killin' Time."
Love sbc..can't beat-em, been there did that many yesrs..love it....
Wholly smoked onions!!! So much fun watching you bring these cars grew up with come back to life with a ferocity. Thank you Derek!!!
