Scrap Yard Interception! 1986 Monte Carlo SS

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
  • In this episode, I save this 1986 Monte Carlo from going to the scrap yard. It was purchased new in 1986 by my wifes uncle, who drove it to 105xxx miles and then parked it sometime in the early 90's. Tragically, he passed away in May 2020 and a decision had to be made about the car. Title and registration are MIA, so options are limited. In an effort to keep my poor decision making at a constant I decide to try and rescue it. Thanks to friends and family for all the help! Thanks to Johnny Collura for providing music on this one!

    I can only imagine drinking my Sunday paper while reading my coffee and look out and seeing my neighbor doing donuts in the backyard in an 80’s Monte Carlo SS. Sweet ride.

    Bought my 86 for $500, owned by an older couple that both passed away in 1998 when the car was parked. A shed had collapsed on it and the son just wanted it gone. Fresh battery, fuel pump, gas, and carb she fired right up and been my daily driver for the past 3 years.

    I myself own an ‘84 Monte Carlo SS that is getting an LS1 swap and I love seeing these things coming back to life after so long. Often overlooked cars but they are awesome to have! I’m tuned in.

      My Drill Sergeant in BCT had a Monte Carlo that wasn't an SS but it was some kind of sportier version than standard - I remember a bump on the hood so I guess it was a turbo? This was in 1984...

    Im so jealous right now! My Nana had this model with T-Tops. I can remember riding with her in it as a tiny tot and me telling her to burn it (Open it up) she would tag it and off we'd go smoking tires. You truly have a Gem here and happy you saved her! If I ever find one I'll do the same thanks for posting

    You fix that SS up; it will sell and make you some money, these days I've been looking around and if clean, and have a good motor, they will sell for 15-25k right now. I picked up my 86 SS a couple of years ago, it had 8900 miles on it and gave 18K for it. You rarely see them on the road these days... and everyone who had 1 back in the day slaps themselves for selling it.

But driving it home, It threw the belt, Popped a brake line. Was a fun Drive lol made it home at around 240 degrees. lol But yea they are very different cars. Everywhere you drive you will get thumbs up. Dont see them too much. But seriously great find. Glad to see you saved one from the junkyard. Hopefully you can get the title situation figured out.
