Wow ... Bringing back the memories. I had a 1970 Monte Carlo SS Stock 454 Picked it up for $800 back in 1982. It had a wiped cam and spun main bearings, and the little old lady I bought it from had taken an ice scraper to the the ENTIRE car after a freezing rain ice storm ! Rebuilt the engine and a quick paint job ... good as new ! One of many cars I've owned that I wish I had kept.
This was one of my favorite videos that you have done. In 1985, I bought a very clean 1972 monte carlo which has a Big Block 454 427 hp engine, which I have done a lot of work to it, including body work, front end replacement, new brakes. I overhauled the Turbo 400 transmission with Jags HD clutches and discs. I completely disassembled the engine and blue printed it. Had the crank balanced and polished and the block boiled. It has a 427 hp cam and double-pumper Holly carb and a dual plane after market Edlebrook intake. I added 2 1/2 inch Hooker headers and side pipes and balanced quad exhaust that exits in front of the rear tires. I balanced the drive shaft. I replaced the stock distributor and coil with a new style high voltage system. I am in the process of replacing the vinyl top and the glass. It is such a fun car to drive. It is one of my favorite cars.
Good on you for keeping it for so long.I definitely think the 70-72 is the best one.I have a 1970 blue/blue that I was cloning into a 454 SS 20yrs ago. I drove it for a summer after I installed the engine,which was out of a '73.Found out later it had a burnt valve. Still haven't fixed that yet though.
My first car was a 1972 Monte Carlo that I bought in 1976 man oh man that car was a looker and a runner I wish I had it today. This brought back a lot of good memories.
I had a 70 Monte Carlo as a teenager. The bench front seat was great to get the girls sitting right next to you! Man we had a lot of fun in that car. It was a rusted out beater but lots of great memories. This video is making me want another one! Great find with the 454!
Uncle had a 71 Monte he got new. 350/350 drivetrain. All original. My dad repainted the car in 79. Had maybe 60k miles. Solid as can be. Just remember it had power everything. Like a kid with buttons. 😊
Man, when you first started that car, my heart just flew. What a sound from my youth. A 454 ! Great power. Beautiful car. Wish it was mine. I'd drive it proudly. 🙏
First gen Monte, my dream car. Been on the hunt for a decent one for years. The perfect mix of elegance and anger rolled up into one badass muscle car package.
Your so blessed that's my dream car I've always loved that car my grandfather had a royal blue 70 Monte he used to take me and my sis around and he would do donuts he passed it down to my uncle and he sold it broke my ❤️ if only I could get my hands on one 😥 I miss my grandfather and the car R.I.P. Papa!

Someone's gonna be a lot happier/fortunate than I am. Monte's, Nova's, and Chevelle's are the pinnacle of muscle car styling IMHO. Mom had one when I was 10, 37 years later I still can't afford one but as long as whomever gets it takes care of it right I'm good. Such a survivor can't believe how solid this is, thanks for the video NNKH!
Had a 70 Monte when I was 16 years old back in 1985 . They are still one of my favorite cars ever . First year Monte Carlo real big block monte carlo ss super rare
My sixth grade teacher had a gold 1st series Monte Carlo -- back in the early '70s when it was new! I still remember that car, would love to find an original condition gold one just like it... BTW, regular applications of 303 Aerospace Protectant will keep that top looking like new.
That guy was such a great find. I love the smoke show in the cul-de-sac bro 🤘 great job videoing and you always are very particular with detail, I love the content that you share👍☮️🇺🇲
My high school buddy got a 1970 monte from his dad when he turned 16. That was in 1979. We brought it into shop class at beginning of year and still wasn't done at Christmas break. Well, Critter, wasn't having any of that! He bribed the janitor and got into the school and finished on his own and showed up to the Christmas races! We all Lol. BTW.. he still owns that rig today!
Bought and sold over 150 cars over the past 59 plus years including having to get bonded titles. My philosophy now is if the seller doesn't have a title in his own name, notarized then HE doesn't own the vehicle. Trying to get a bonded title is fine until the last registered owner claims it. Nothing you can do about it except turn it over. I got lucky a few times then someone claimed a piece of junk car. Run from title problems unless you got the car for free.
Nice to know! My brother-in-law stole my 64 Falcon station wagon, sold it, and convinced my parents it was o.k. when I said NO my parents told me no to ruin my sisters marriage.. I think I'll look to reclaim it. If you bought a 1964 Falcon from Bob Eubanks in Oregon get ready to lose my car!
Chris, I love this monte Carlo, I wonder how much would it cost to make it road worthy. I'm not a racer, just like to smoothly ride and look good. I owned a 1970 MC back in the day, traveled the east coast a lot. Man those were the days.
I had one when I was 17 it had a 350 4bolt sure wished I still had it. But when you’re young and dumb you don’t think about how much they will be worth. Love the video!
That sounds so damn good! Who needs a stereo when the pipes are singing a tune like that? Happen to have a part# for whatever Flowmasters were on it? I'm sure the motor, long tubes and 3" exhaust really gave it the nice bark, but really love the deep sound!
Just like back in the day! Those mirrors were known for that since year two of there after you got them new. My neighbor bought one for his wife and it was triple blue with a 400/400 turbo and floor shifter and factory air. Was one of the nicer stock care in the neighborhood back in the mid 70's.
Definatly like the pace of your videos and the details like the shot of your scooter ride, and this video is packed with interesting locations to like the car show. Its all sorta grass roots, and nitty gritty. Enjoying from afar (new zealand), keep that content coming and... nice car man!
My dad would love this. He had a '73 Monte 454 in the 80s. Grandparents sold it out from under him. He never forgave them for that. Loved that car. Now he has a 77. Hope he finds another big block car one day. Nice find. Sounds sweet
Glad I could your channel! Love your videos, and Gus !! My wife and I have a yorkie/dachshund, Fitz, and I spend most of my time in the garage, thanks for the tips!!
The first year that the Monte Carlo came out. My dream car would be a '70 SS , horseshoe shifter,454, throaty exhaust like Chris's. I had a '70 350 car and I wish I never would have sold it
I love Monte Carlos I bought and drove and owned a 70 SS 454 Autumn gold with a black vinyl top bought it from a guy in Indiana it was the 390 horse 425 lb of torque model it had a dealer installed trailering package and skid plates the original owner traded in a 64 SS Chevelle and got $801 credit for the trade 64 or 65 not sure ended up paying $4,500 or so for the new Monte Carlo remote control mirror air factory Kenny glass am 8-track stereo rear window defrost it was bad to the bone turbo 400 98,000 miles leave it in drive and chirp second gear
if i were single again i’d jump on it…but it’s the old story…wife comes in toys go out…and the price of gas now…. uugggh…my wallet would break long before that engine
@@russellking9762 Why I became single again. Having to file bk but dont care...never been more at peace No woman that wants you to sell off things that make you happy is worth keeping around. It wont stop there either
Chris! Wow, That Monte Carlo 1970 has a nice color and Some Beef When you Did Donuts in a Closed area! You definitely know your Craft! You and Derek Should get together and do a Video! Both you two are Very informative and Talented! Enjoyed this video very much! Like you're Presentation! 🎉🎉🎉
1970 was a great year for cars! Can't wait to hear the story with the Po Po. Also looking forward to the JD 310. Lost in when you were doing the doughnuts and the bolt flew out. Did you ever find out where it came from? Also the mpg's on the thing! I know what its like cause l drive a diesel. Love your content! Found when I was troubleshooting my waste oil furnace been hooked ever since! Keep it up!
I always watch to the end. Always good to see a little bit of little Gus. Wish Leo would pop in. Thanks for the work and time making the videos. Not always about getting cars started. Just good honest content. Love to get up your way and explore cars or any machinery. Don't really have that much stock laying around in Oz.. shame, If it's laying around, some clown wants your house deposit for it. Australia is watching JB
i can't understand why people call this junk. ive just noticed that a car i used to own and spent $8000 on upkeep is no longer on the road but 5 others that ive owned and that even i wouldn't bother keeping are still on the road. i personally think what you are doing is amazing and inspiring . ps about the shorts videos ........its for types who would have no interest in what you are doing .
Two and a half inch exhaust would be fine for that car. You would probably gain a little bit more bottom end torque. 3-in exhaust is for high horsepower applications. Sweet ride! I like it!
the 70 Monte is my favorite. I've had a few. This one looks pretty ok! And a console/bucket car too boot. I'd love to have another one. Ahhh... someday!
Mid 60s kid here this 1970 Monte Carlo same color. tires & all was my first car learning how to drive..my brother bought it brand new right off the showroom floor he was a welder & on his side work he & my dad was bowling in tournaments big TV pro bowlers but walked away from it after winning big paychecks & went back to their normal jobs but everytime they go bowling in the tournaments they'll take the 70 Monte Carlo my brother handed me the keys & said don't leave the parking lot welp there was a Mile long road on the back side of the bowling alley all lit up like daylight I'd turn up the radio & cruise from one end to the other. after cruising around I'd go back up front to parallel park that part was scary because parking & being sandwiched between cars or trucks in .my brothers brand new Monte Carlo was way easy to smash into another vehicle but I made it with no dents or scratches. Thank God lol I missed that car it was awesome & a head turner them days. Thanks for bringing back good Ole 1970 Monte Carlo memories I also miss my brother more than the car I lost him 3 years ago. I'm in my late 50s now. Keep up the good work maybe you'll show some more time capsules that we used to have.
My best high school friend Jeff has the same car sitting in his father's garage only it came stock with the big block and floor shift. He bought it in the early 80s and yes its still there. I miss that car and those days
Everything you go over and fix is usually done very tastefully in my family's opinion since we are and were ASE mechanical technicians. We are sure you are also experiencing how you work and tear into anything and fix it. Safely, I will add.
Absolutely can not wait for the John Deere 310 video. I absolutely love your content, and I love tractors. Best of luck with the sale of the car, still sad I missed out on the bronco.
Can't believe I missed this one! What a great watch! Monte is my all time favorite and Dream car. Had an 81 at 17 but got totaled. Still a dream to have another. Fun time watching this one. The donuts were impressive lol
That's a sweet year for the Monte Carlo. Looks like that motor and drivetrain work like a charm. She's definitely a runner. No brakestand required there... Did you get a new set of tires for the rear too? Had to ask after that "exhibition of speed" session... Lol
We have a 1970 Monte that is so similar to this video! Older restoration, nice from far but far from nice, drives... My husband wants to do some of these mods (bucket seats, floor shifter, vinyl top) to his. Anyway, somehow we missed this before. Wish we could've seen the ebay listing! It's a nice car 😊
I like the outro music. What was Jen doing in the cooler there? Lol. You ever figure out where that random bolt came from during the donut extravaganza? Lol
I grew up when those cars came out they were sure of blast It's just flip cards for a hobby and I'd probably gone through a 150 cars trucks trucks those Monte Carlos I love them Thanks for the videos brings back a lot of memories especially the donuts
One of the smartest compoents you could buy now would be a fast ratio steering gear like the one I have on my 72 Chevelle. It entirely modifies the character of the driving experience.
Agree!! Had a 12:1 box built for my 67 E.C in the 90s...now you can buy them cheap from summit. Makes a night and day difference feels like rack n pinion!
Hey Chris. We love your stuff my friend. This Bob Rose from Northampton UK. I'm an ex F1 engine builder from cosworth here in UK. Obviously I like you do all my own car maintenance. I'm a crazy porsche guy . Restored old air-cooled 911s. At the moment I'm working on my porsche Boxster. Got the engine out to get on with a few jobs. Just to say love all yours and Jens content. Please keep it up. Kind Regards Bob Rose Northampton UK 🇬🇧
Of all the cars you have done on your show this is the one I can't believe you sold this one. I had a 72 with a big block and was it was the second nicest car I ever had. I still can't believe you sold it.
If I had a massive pole barn I would consider keeping all these cars but I can't stand to see the things sitting outside or even under a cover. Plus I get a little bored of cars after owning them for a little bit
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow I know what you mean I just love cars. I wish I could have kept every car I ever owned. And that Monte Carlo reminded me of my 1972 witch I did a lot of work on, just loved that car. Look forward to your next show and some of Max.
Love that Monte Carlo body style! They are a bit heavy, but the big block makes up for it. I see the bidding is up over 6k. Cool! I just wonder how much bondo is on that thing, and how thick it is in places. Being from the rust belt, not much you can do about that, and I am sure some panels will need replacing. From one PA Chris to another, keep up the great work, man. I am an old wrench (54 this year), but I always learn something new from your vids. Much appreciated, bro!
OUTSTANDING. That was a great Find. That car was almost perfect underneath. Would not take alot of money to really make it a great looking HOT ROD. Most of the work is done already. Great Video. Stay Safe out There. ! 🏆👍🇺🇸
I did not know you were a mechanic when last I commented. Oh God how I love those big 70s autos. When we or should I say I were younger those big Plymouths Dodges Fords Chevys were everywhere. Jeez you could buy them complete running for $125.00 in poor shape to $500.00 in xf condition. There were literally thousands in the three coastal counties of Mississippi alone. We thought they would be there forever. But they weren't. It seemed like one year they all gone. But I guess that's what makes them so special now. Party on dude. Live long and prosper.
👍👌👏 Very well done again (video and work). What a great first start! Not even 1 complete revolution and the engine fired right up. Hope that this good looking car comes to a good home. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all involved life forms (humans and cute dogs). 😁 ;-)
That's bad ass I use to have a 1971 and a 1973 Monte Carlo the 71 had a 454 big block it was blue with black interior and the 73 I had was white with black interior that had a 350 small block till I blew it up and put a big block in it anyway that car is bad ass

The absolute best year for the Monte Carlo. Theres no mistaking the “roar of a 454” (old car commercial I remember).
Wow ... Bringing back the memories. I had a 1970 Monte Carlo SS Stock 454 Picked it up for $800 back in 1982. It had a wiped cam and spun main bearings, and the little old lady I bought it from had taken an ice scraper to the the ENTIRE car after a freezing rain ice storm ! Rebuilt the engine and a quick paint job ... good as new ! One of many cars I've owned that I wish I had kept.
This was one of my favorite videos that you have done. In 1985, I bought a very clean 1972 monte carlo which has a Big Block 454 427 hp engine, which I have done a lot of work to it, including body work, front end replacement, new brakes.

It has a 427 hp cam and double-pumper Holly carb and a dual plane after market Edlebrook intake. I added 2 1/2 inch Hooker headers and side pipes and balanced quad exhaust that exits in front of the rear tires. I balanced the drive shaft. I replaced the stock distributor and coil with a new style high voltage system. I am in the process of replacing the vinyl top and the glass. It is such a fun car to drive.

The ability to repair these years of cars is excellent. Sold my old truck couple years ago. Will be buying another classic. Excellent video

way to big of a car. It's a lot more luxury than anything else.
@@elonmust7470 yea it looked it doing donuts.
@Elon Must The Monte Carlo is a mid-size, just like the Chevelle. They share a lot of parts with the Chevelle.

I can listen to that engine idle all day sounds so good
I'm in agreement with your statement! What a great sounding motor with the 3-in exhaust
I can't imagine selling a car that sounds that good. Especially one that so easy to find parts for and keep running. I've kept worse junk.

That's awesome. After all those years it still runs great. Needs a little TLC and it will be a great cruiser.
That thing is a beast ! My cousin had this body style with a small block. We used to rip around Omaha, Nebraska with it back in the late 70's.
i can't understand why people call this junk. ive just noticed that a car i used to own and spent $8000 on upkeep is no longer on the road but 5 others that ive owned and that even i wouldn't bother keeping are still on the road. i personally think what you are doing is amazing and inspiring .
ps about the shorts videos ........its for types who would have no interest in what you are doing .
No car guy would all it that Ive had a lot worse I dailied in the 80s as a teen
@@gordocarbowe've all gotta start somewhere
I love the sound of that Monte Carlo I used to have a GTO at Sony just like that had the 3 inch pipes all the way through it with the headers😊
Great video, all good fun content. Throughly enjoy watching 60s/70 classic cars.
Some lucky buyer is going to be happy with that.
had a buddy that had one in 71, ran like a top and was a blast to kick around in... great vid and story, have a good one Chris.
Two and a half inch exhaust would be fine for that car. You would probably gain a little bit more bottom end torque. 3-in exhaust is for high horsepower applications. Sweet ride! I like it!
the 70 Monte is my favorite. I've had a few. This one looks pretty ok! And a console/bucket car too boot. I'd love to have another one. Ahhh... someday!
Your advice on brake jobs really helped me out with doing the pads and rotors on my explorer last weekend
Awesome to hear that the advice was helpful. Thanks!
Sweet car. My father had one. The only GM car he ever owned. He loved his Fords. Great content. Thanks for all you do.
Love your videos, great work, I’m currently addicted to these kinds of car/ truck revival videos! You and Derek at Vice Grip Garage are my favorites!
NNKH is SO much better (read:genuine) than VGG. Dereks gimmicky baby language gets old.
@@DannebergAcres I watched him also, I’m not picky about who I watch
My two favorite revival channels as well … both are great in their own ways and will probably meet some day…
@@mikeferraro8917 They met at DuckTapeDrags. Derek signed Chris' El Camino "going to town rig". Didn't help its value. LOL!
Mid 60s kid here this 1970 Monte Carlo same color. tires & all was my first car learning how to drive..my brother bought it brand new right off the showroom floor he was a welder & on his side work he & my dad was bowling in tournaments big TV pro bowlers but walked away from it after winning big paychecks & went back to their normal jobs but everytime they go bowling in the tournaments they'll take the 70 Monte Carlo my brother handed me the keys & said don't leave the parking lot welp there was a Mile long road on the back side of the bowling alley all lit up like daylight I'd turn up the radio & cruise from one end to the other. after cruising around I'd go back up front to parallel park that part was scary because parking & being sandwiched between cars or trucks in .my brothers brand new Monte Carlo was way easy to smash into another vehicle but I made it with no dents or scratches. Thank God lol I missed that car it was awesome & a head turner them days. Thanks for bringing back good Ole 1970 Monte Carlo memories I also miss my brother more than the car I lost him 3 years ago. I'm in my late 50s now. Keep up the good work maybe you'll show some more time capsules that we used to have.
Definitely would like a video explaining the fury and chevelle title issues (when its cool to discuss). Love all the videos, you are one of the best.
My best high school friend Jeff has the same car sitting in his father's garage only it came stock with the big block and floor shift. He bought it in the early 80s and yes its still there. I miss that car and those days
Everything you go over and fix is usually done very tastefully in my family's opinion since we are and were ASE mechanical technicians. We are sure you are also experiencing how you work and tear into anything and fix it. Safely, I will add.
Wow!!!! This reminds me of a gold 72 Chevy Impala I had. It was gold. wotqh a 400c.i. small block fed by a factory Holley 650cfm.
Absolutely can not wait for the John Deere 310 video. I absolutely love your content, and I love tractors. Best of luck with the sale of the car, still sad I missed out on the bronco.
I had one in the 80s to go to school. I loved it.
Damn that’s a beautiful car! Love the random bolt flying off lol
Can't believe I missed this one! What a great watch! Monte is my all time favorite and Dream car. Had an 81 at 17 but got totaled. Still a dream to have another. Fun time watching this one. The donuts were impressive lol
That's a sweet year for the Monte Carlo. Looks like that motor and drivetrain work like a charm. She's definitely a runner. No brakestand required there... Did you get a new set of tires for the rear too? Had to ask after that "exhibition of speed" session... Lol
We have a 1970 Monte that is so similar to this video! Older restoration, nice from far but far from nice, drives... My husband wants to do some of these mods (bucket seats, floor shifter, vinyl top) to his. Anyway, somehow we missed this before. Wish we could've seen the ebay listing! It's a nice car 😊
I like the outro music. What was Jen doing in the cooler there? Lol. You ever figure out where that random bolt came from during the donut extravaganza? Lol
It came from the bumper bracket
I grew up when those cars came out they were sure of blast It's just flip cards for a hobby and I'd probably gone through a 150 cars trucks trucks those Monte Carlos I love them Thanks for the videos brings back a lot of memories especially the donuts
One of the smartest compoents you could buy now would be a fast ratio steering gear like the one I have on my 72 Chevelle. It entirely modifies the character of the driving experience.
Agree!! Had a 12:1 box built for my 67 E.C in the 90s...now you can buy them cheap from summit. Makes a night and day difference feels like rack n pinion!
Hey Chris. We love your stuff my friend. This Bob Rose from Northampton UK. I'm an ex F1 engine builder from cosworth here in UK. Obviously I like you do all my own car maintenance. I'm a crazy porsche guy . Restored old air-cooled 911s. At the moment I'm working on my porsche Boxster. Got the engine out to get on with a few jobs. Just to say love all yours and Jens content. Please keep it up. Kind Regards Bob Rose Northampton UK 🇬🇧
What a great find, thanks for sharing! Sounds awesome👌Love that shifter too👍
Of all the cars you have done on your show this is the one I can't believe you sold this one. I had a 72 with a big block and was it was the second nicest car I ever had. I still can't believe you sold it.
If I had a massive pole barn I would consider keeping all these cars but I can't stand to see the things sitting outside or even under a cover. Plus I get a little bored of cars after owning them for a little bit
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow I know what you mean I just love cars. I wish I could have kept every car I ever owned. And that Monte Carlo reminded me of my 1972 witch I did a lot of work on, just loved that car. Look forward to your next show and some of Max.
Excellent video! (as always) You may heve contributed to some1970 Monte Carlo demand out there in the collector world!
I had a 71 Monte Carlo in my youth.. Loved that car!
The "deep groove" in the rotor isn't a groove. That's actually an OEM rotor. That's how they were made by GM. 👍
Really...that's crazy. I wonder if the pads were different to match.
@@icanfartloud nope. Pads were flat just like they are now.
Yeah, that was a factory rotor.
@@Lugnut64052 yep! 😁
The "groove" in my rotors threw me off too. Oh well, still got new pads rotors and bearings
Loved that white Monte Carlo with the blue rally stripes. Never saw one in white👍
That is a clean unit!
That was one of my favorites back in the day...
Love that Monte Carlo body style! They are a bit heavy, but the big block makes up for it. I see the bidding is up over 6k. Cool! I just wonder how much bondo is on that thing, and how thick it is in places. Being from the rust belt, not much you can do about that, and I am sure some panels will need replacing. From one PA Chris to another, keep up the great work, man. I am an old wrench (54 this year), but I always learn something new from your vids. Much appreciated, bro!
Your parts collection is amazing and well organized!!
Yeah Buddy!!!! That things going to be a ripper!!!!!!! Put the front tires on the back and they will be round in no time 😂
OUTSTANDING. That was a great Find. That car was almost perfect underneath. Would not take alot of money to really make it a great looking HOT ROD. Most of the work is done already. Great Video. Stay Safe out There. ! 🏆👍🇺🇸
Had a 72'. Loved it. Really nice 70' Monte! Are we fixing the cracked frame before selling? That is what ended my Monte' sadly. Both sides :-(
I did not know you were a mechanic when last I commented. Oh God how I love those big 70s autos. When we or should I say I were younger those big Plymouths Dodges Fords Chevys were everywhere. Jeez you could buy them complete running for $125.00 in poor shape to $500.00 in xf condition. There were literally thousands in the three coastal counties of Mississippi alone. We thought they would be there forever. But they weren't. It seemed like one year they all gone. But I guess that's what makes them so special now. Party on dude. Live long and prosper.
👍👌👏 Very well done again (video and work). What a great first start! Not even 1 complete revolution and the engine fired right up. Hope that this good looking car comes to a good home.
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health to all involved life forms (humans and cute dogs). 😁 ;-)
That's bad ass I use to have a 1971 and a 1973 Monte Carlo the 71 had a 454 big block it was blue with black interior and the 73 I had was white with black interior that had a 350 small block till I blew it up and put a big block in it anyway that car is bad ass
Cool car, currently 3,000 on ebay at the time if leaving this comment. I could see this car going for 5,000 to 7 or 8 grand, definitely worth it.
I wonder where it ended up?

Always loved the 1st generation. Monte Carlos.
