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.

    Great video man. I just bought the same car, same color, parked for 20 years. It arrives Thursday!
  • @amaresch66
    A MCSS! Great news, looking forward to this save and hoping there is more (discovered this 2 years after). Loving how the car came with a box of shop rags (some assembly required) and some sustenance (only slightly expired). Thinking I should sub.
  • @fraserstitt5359
    Great that you brought this car back to life. I bought a 1986 Monte Carlo SS burgundy 5 years ago with an LS2 engine swap supposedly with 500 horsepower. These cars are fun to drive and get a lot of attention.
  • @jameswilson9368
    Now, that's a great save! Those Cars are so easy to restore, and upgrade horsepower and handling! Love the style and looks of it. If love to find one!

    Great video,nice rescue of this Monte Carlo SS.Always a favorite of mine I own a 1988 the last year they made them. They get alot of looks on the road and have the feel of a muscle car even though the hp is not there.

    Just watched your channel for the 1st. time and it's cool, just a DIY kind of fix, it's the best way, doing it like that for ever since fixing my bicycle(actually I made my bike from scrap parts my friends throw away but, I made it..not bought it ie; proud about that). Great stuff, fixing things nobody could. Nice work, Nicer Monte Carlo SS as well, Keep Fixing!!!.

    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
