    I just finished my 86 Monte Carlo SS and the only difference is I have a
    n/a 632 big block and I kept the original air conditioner.
    So my money says to build a car like this one it would cost you at least
    $35,500+ dollars.
    I think you could take your time and get $40,000k +

      Awww man, a 632 is my dream build for my Chevelle. To have 1000hp, NA, is just sick. Unfortunately people forget that 1984 is almost 40 years ago. They think these cars are still $1500 bucks. Appreciate the comments. Thank You 😊👍

    Having built a big block Monte Carlo SS, I can tell everyone nothing is cheap.
    I’ve got a 0.030 over 454, forged rotating assembly, T&D Machine valve train, California Performance Transmission Stage III 200 4r, Strange Chromoly driveshaft, billet yokes, Strange Dana 60 rear with helical locker, and UMI suspension.
    The car has been 11.6 NA with a street friendly 9.5/1 comp ratio. Still the car can cruise at 65 mph all day at 1,800 rpm’s in overdrive.
    People have repeatedly asked me to price the car. I’d tell them $25k. They always come back with, “Man, I can get a Monte Carlo for $11,000.” I’ve got nearly $25k in the drivetrain. I don’t even price the car anymore, because I know I’m going to get some lowball BS from some tire kicker with no cash.

    • @TexasDragRacingVideo
      @TexasDragRacingVideo  Год назад +1

      Yeah, when you look under the car then you see where a lot of money was spent. A lot of adjustability in the suspension to help the car bite down. Tubular everything, QA1 coil overs all around and a lot of reinforcement at the joints. Wish they had put a cage in it though. Don’t know if our local track will let us run it again. We will share another video when we give it another shot. 😊

    Not saying the car isn't worth the asking but that thought process of evaluating the price is all wrong. You can't count labor or any physical work that's done to the car. Also you can't expect to get out of it what you put in. New parts are used once they are bolted on. Also it had wheels when it was bought but when they were taken off they wasn't subtracted, just 5g's added to the 30g's. I love MC SS's and I feel it's probably worth it or close anyway.

On the title, the car was not in Chris’s name. And it wasn’t signed. I had to go through a dealership to get the car titled and transferred to my name in Texas. It wasn’t like I could just walk in to a Texas DMV with an unsigned Oklahoma title. Which in Oklahoma, they require the title be notarized at the time of signatures. Furthermore, I never said I was firm on the price. I’ve had 11 guys offer me what I paid for the car. I’ve said yes to every single one of them and not one has responded back. This is why I bought the car from Chris. I knew this crap was going to happen and he was gonna get the run around from losers and wannabe’s. As far as I am concerned, I did him a favor.
