These people are the reason I drive to pick up my cars. Just drove back to Memphis Tennessee from Detroit with a 77 Lincoln town car on my trailer. I used a 91 Ford explorer for a tow vehicle. I got the truck as a payment for mowing some grass 😂.
This car takes me back to being a little kid. My mom had a 1997 Monte Carlo LS. It didn't have 5-spoke alloy wheels like this one, it had the ugly wheel covers, and the 3100 v6. She bought it almost new, at 38k, in 1999. This was the closest we've come to having a brand-new car. At that time she was dealing with depression and later on, she had a nervous breakdown. I think she purchased that car trying to soothe her depression but it didn't work. Thank goodness all that is behind us and my mom is still here today doing well.
My mum used to do the same sort of thing. Buying stuff to make herself feel better. One day she spent $800 on cosmetic stuff. Just to give it all away later as she was never going to use it. She even went as far as buying a new car, paying $2500 over retail and selling her old one for $500 after spending $2500 on tires, cat, timing belt two weeks before. She was struggling with cancer and on top had depression. It was her money, so I didn't care but wish I was there for her.
Remember to blow the heater full blast into the passenger area to quickly cool the system on many older cars. Not comfortable, but keeps it from blowing a gasket.
Every time car overheats, first thing I am doing is put heater on, it will have bigger cycle to run the water so it will cool down quicker and overheat slower. I never saw this car on my own eyes, nice car!
that transport guy needs more training backed out the vehicle still strapped?? almost hit the cable backing out? almost hit the SUV behind the trailer the only good thing he did was find the house. Love watching this channel always educating us on some vehicles or the community or the market stay safe
I happen to have the factory service manual for that car , both books, the coolant fans look simple fuses and relays are under the hood, each fan has a maxi fuse 60 amp, #1 and #3 2 relays in there too one for each fan, Randy if you want these manuals let me know I will find a way to get them to you, I do not see myself ever needing them again
That same car here in NY for that same $1700 would get you Bluetooth rockers, maypop brake lines, strut tower rot, as well as rear trailing arm rot at half that mileage. That's why I buy stuff from there bc id rather put a few repairs in a vehicle with high mileage but good bones vs doing rust repair.
I hope you choose this one. My dad loved that car. He had a deep green w tan cloth seats and it was his baby. Itd be awesome to see it back in prime condition!
I had a 1995 Lumina LS which was built in Canada. The motor was 3.4L. Called the “boat motor” by dealership mechanics. In the day it ran strong and fast but when they break down it’s a nightmare. Had an oil leak that made me lose a quart a week. Problem was an O ring down in the middle of the motor. Was a student at that time no one wanted to touch it. Found a dealer who charged me dearly. Buyer beware.
I love the Z34 and the Lumina LTZ so much. Especially the one’s with 3800 V6. In 2016, I purchased a clean in perfect shape 1995 silver Monte Carlo LS that came from Canada to Michigan. Paid $700 for it but it had a leaky gas tank if filled. Ran extremely well with that 3100 V6 until it overheated and needed intake gaskets done. Coolant got mixed in with the oil. Got that fixed and ran good but someone did a hit and run. The driver slid into the back of me on ice and kept going. It was hit on the right side. Still drivable. It was a second car. I got rid of it and took it to the junk yard and got cash. Body shops claimed they couldn’t fix the damage because they couldn’t find parts due to it being so old. I still want another one but a Z34 with that bulletproof 3800 V6 engine.
I think GM made some of the best seats in the 90's. Some of the most comfortable seat I have ever sat in. Too bad they make rock hard seats now. You get numb butt after a few hours of driving.
Last I owned one of these was 2009, got it for $500. Was my favorite car id ever owned. A common issue is the oil pressure sensor leaking in case you see any pools underneath. Oh and ball joints which are a pain since theyre riveted in
I think she deserves,runs good.A bit of work but could be a nice A to B to someone,atleast the mechanic part done. I would rock that boat to work not a problem. Nice video like always,keep it up strong Randy !!!
I wouldnt call a 30 year old car a score anymore 😂 especially when I can get a 2012 with a burnt out clutch for $500 and only has 100,000 miles good luck xD
I had a Lumina, 95. Purple metallic, I believe it was the bigger V6 3800. She was a great car. Got me thru lots of snow in ny. It snowed so bad I was up at 2am to dig myself out just so I could go to work. The engine bay was packed in snow. By the time I got to work, it had barely melted. One great car!!
i had a 1995 LS model, when you drive the temp would go down. Idling in traffic, at stop lights, the temp would go back up over 220F. i think it is a fan switch,, relay not being commanded on. i had put a new radiator and did not fix the problem. other than that i freakin miss that car.
Yep when I first got mine I thought the cooling fans didn’t work! They just don’t come on till the coolant gauge gets over 3/4 I had the bubbling issue although mine ended needing head gaskets and intake gaskets.
These transporters look sketchier and sketchier everyday. We get a lot from Mannheim OpenLane and some of those trucks are sketch AF. Here you come correct with the Old School Commercial again. This particular car brings back memories of me early in my car career when I used to do some Illegal things and traveled. I do thank you for these recent videos!!! Every one of these 80's and 90's cars remind me of some awesome stories......Keep it up!!!
@@georgescarvids The Russian transporter who picked up a Nova my buddy's dad sold years ago was phenomenal. He drove that thing on what were essentially drag slicks down the icy driveway and into the enclosed trailer like it was nothing.
My wife had one of those, it would randomly just shut off going down the freeway. Turns out the BCM is a common problem on that GM platform, $600 and a day at the dealer and it was back in action.
You ain’t wrong about old cars costing more and more money. Husband bought a 1996 F-150 XL 4.9L last November I think. Has 195k miles on it and it has been an Indiana truck all its life. So far we’ve had to replace the radius arm, both front ball joints, rear fuel tank filler neck, and rear brakes. And now currently the oil pan gasket is leaking and we’ve got an ABS light on. We’ve just been topping the oil up until it goes in in 2 weeks to get that fixed. Then after that we’ll look into the ABS. He loves the truck and OBS trucks are getting harder and harder to find. So we really wanna keep it going.
@fracturedmind8124 The obs F-150’s are still my absolute favorite. At 195k that old 4.9 is just getting broke in. I have 4- dads 93, 94 & 95 Lightning’s and granddads 93 Reg Cab SB 5.0 & I wouldn’t part with them for all the money on earth💯
Car has some good bones it would be worth a cheap paint job, tires, new fans and a few more small repairs. Good find and thanks for bringing all these 80's and 90's cars to your channel very good content.
The 1999 z34 with the 3800 series II is the best way to go the 3.4 was only a 3.1 with a balance shaft in place of the cam had a regular timing chain that drove the cam shaft’s belt. It used a dummy distributor shaft for the oil pump
that #2 fan will not come on unless engine temp is really high or AC pressure is real high, like 300 psi could be you just have a bad primary fan, it should have came on as soon as the AC engaged
Thanks man u helped me out my mom has a lumina and i couldn't figure out why the cooling fans dont work and her ac doesn't work either so now i know which direction to start going
Love the 90’s cars you’re bringing to the channel Randy. Definitely FOND memories from that era. The fun part is the timing belts/ or lack of parts availability esp when getting into the actual timing belt tensioners. Ran into that on my 95 SHO ATX-guy in CA rebuilds them as they are absolutely not available anymore. Be nice to see this one get some love-as that 3.4 DOHC was a pretty fun engine-just without that Yamaha sound🤷🏻♂️💯
Ok one thing with the cooling is there are 2 bleeders that you will need to get the air out (or vacuum the system) to fix the issue. I had that issue a lot due to an issue with the intake eating gaskets. Outside of that, they were great cars.
They're good cars replace the fans it should be ok I had a 98 lumina that had the same problem I put some work into it after replacing many parts I found out the fan senior was shot
I love how you are adding the commercials on these vehicles. It is getting me curious about if there are any commercials on our vehicles for me it would be a 2012 for focus and hubby’s Nissan Frontier. Though I think I remember seeing something about the frontier where it was something about it helping land a plane or something silly like that
That transporter😳 Someone in my area has a beautiful red z24 similar to your. A little tlc on that one plus a fresh new Macro paint job and she'll be a black stallion cool cruising down the highway. Ok so I took your advice and went to best buy and bought a spool of Monster speaker wire and ran straight to the battery (no fuses required) connect to both fans run the wire like you said to a toggle switch on the dashboard and all should be fixed and good to go, right?😅😂🤣 Only joking, please do try this folks unless you have stupid vision. Looking forward to the next z24 video and all of the rest of them good old classics.
This was a pretty great video i enjoyed this alot and i love hoa u added in the old commercial for the Monte Carlo and i think shes worth trying to save i mean she is an older car with almost 300k miles with a few issues that can be fixed i think its save able. Keep up the great work much love to ha randy have a good one take care god bless and i will see ya on the next one brother catch ya later
Randy great video and quirky awesome car!! my first car wsa 1997 z34 and it was a fun car white with white rims. also, looking back around 7:12 the throttle body was changed but 11/10/04 intake and gasket replaced
I bet if u fix the abs the cruise will work again, that was common on the older cars. Also anytime u have trouble getting it to take Freon when the can gets cold u can dip it in hot water and it’ll suck the can in right away.
Randy nice video that’s got to be worth saving it a nice looking motor and as you say older cars have there problems and it nice seeing you repair them you do good work
hey Randy I remember chasing a noise in the rear of one of those, everything looked good turned out to a bracket for the stabilizer bar inner bushing just had to clean up the bolts and retighten it, I found it by getting a friend to stand in the trunk and shake the trunk lid while I looked for it the strange things we have to do to fix these cars!!
Just by u Randy putting out throwback 95 Monte Chevy commercial brought back my childhood years but think the transport person who delivering ur 95 Monte had been young. backing up car while straps still on .
#1 Thanks for the daily videos! You'll have to sometime give us an update on why you changed your mind from taking it easy. Where did you find this transport guy by the way LMAO I think he's breathed in too many exhaust fumes in his day 😂
That transport guy gave 0 Fs did not even checked to see if the car was already unstrapped before trying to move the car i can only imagine what other Tragedies that guy has committed along his hauling career and the way it’s bubbling it could be a leaky radiator cap my 07 Chevy Impala did the same thing but it never overheated i swapped the radiator cap and the bubbling stopped
I’ve had a few fords and Pontiac GM motors cars from 2000-2005 years that if the car was idle the temp would go up but not completely overheat! But once you start moving it would drop to normal! It was a bad cooling fan. I just connected to battery with toggle switch so I can turn/off while car was off.. and a 2000 ford focus wagon that would not overheat over on the needle but the overflow would bubble/gurgle during idle. One I didn’t notice and I popped a hose! I changed thermostats and hose and fans worked but kept getting hot only during idle and only during summer or hot days! Never if weather was Under 75 degree outside
Still have a 96 Z34 that we drive 50 mi. a day to work and home. Its still a fun ride with 175K. Just make sure your timing belt is good! And make sure you know how to change it. Its not an easy job.
He was smart to go down there with a inclosed trailer with the hurricane weather! If it was exposed it prob would’ve been beaten to death by debris or sand blasted by windy sand weather!
Lots of money needed for this monte, it’s getting tired. Double check the ac coolant mix. I suggest you check the coolant mix. Sometimes if not right, the sensor doesn’t work right. You like this car. That is enough for me if you want to do some fixing on this car. The body and interior are still in good shape.
I loved these cars! I saved up all my money from a summer job when I was 16 for a white 95 Z34. I loved the car so much but unfortunately it idled like it had a hot cam in it that made it impossible to drive. Used that money for a 79 Duster instead.
You are really a level headed guy!! Especially with the shipping company.. I would have nailed them umti🎉I received a discount for their negligence. There would be no way in hell, I would have crawled under the car. If the owner saw that, unless the guy there was there, that would be an insurance risk. If you got hurt, you would onw them!!
If you take the intake apart, then why not replace everything possible since you have it all apart. Prevents doing the same job twice, or take everything apart and find out everything you'll need.
Very cool as I love these cars and W body's in general. Not particularly rare though as Monte Z34's can still be found pretty regularly on FB Market, etc. The really rare Monte's are the one year only 1995 Z34's with the bench seat and column shifter. Very few were made. The Monte Carlo Z34 and Lumina LS sedan, (when optioned with code LQ1), with bench seat/column shifter are unicorns. The Lumina LS LQ1 sedan is WAY more rare than ANY 95-97 Z34. They were the only W body made from 91-97 that could be ordered with both the LQ1 and bench seat/column shifter...again, for 1995 only.
That transport guy is the nightmare people get warned about. I watch a lot of them and it was almost like that guy was trolling 🤣
These people are the reason I drive to pick up my cars. Just drove back to Memphis Tennessee from Detroit with a 77 Lincoln town car on my trailer. I used a 91 Ford explorer for a tow vehicle. I got the truck as a payment for mowing some grass 😂.

That transport driver must be his first day 😂😂
Or his last day
maybe he was just really nervous.
Came here to say this
I hope that this transport driver has willingly coughed up a sizeable discount for the damage that HE himself has caused.
I was getting irritated watching lol
Remember to blow the heater full blast into the passenger area to quickly cool the system on many older cars. Not comfortable, but keeps it from blowing a gasket.
I was going to say this but you beat me to it.

Had 2 1996 Z34's. Both needed the temperature sensors replaced.
Change the sparkplugs and wires while you have the intake plenum off.
I love that you put the old commercial of the car in the video that is so cool.
that transport guy needs more training backed out the vehicle still strapped?? almost hit the cable backing out? almost hit the SUV behind the trailer the only good thing he did was find the house. Love watching this channel always educating us on some vehicles or the community or the market stay safe
Watching that driver goes a long way to explaining the condition of the trailer 🤣
I’m totally here for the 90’s cars 🚗 love it
I happen to have the factory service manual for that car , both books, the coolant fans look simple fuses and relays are under the hood, each fan has a maxi fuse 60 amp, #1 and #3 2 relays in there too one for each fan, Randy if you want these manuals let me know I will find a way to get them to you, I do not see myself ever needing them again

I graduated high school in 94. I remember a neighbor had one of these cars 30 years ago. The older you get the faster time flies by.😂😂😂
I hope you choose this one. My dad loved that car. He had a deep green w tan cloth seats and it was his baby. Itd be awesome to see it back in prime condition!
Hey Randy, love the channel. If coolant temp is hot, you should turn on the interior heater set to the floor at max fan speed.
I’m sure he knows that old tip

Nice video like always,keep it up strong Randy !!!
Look like Randy you hit another jackpot....nearly 30 years old and now she's back on the road....😅🎉😂

Good morning Randy I like when you buy cars 80s 90s
For some reason I like it and makes for entertaining videos. Even early to mid 2000's cars I like too.
Good morning Randy. The 1995 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Z34 is a good looking car. The best jump pack. Let's hope she runs and drives good.
i had a 1995 LS model, when you drive the temp would go down. Idling in traffic, at stop lights, the temp would go back up over 220F. i think it is a fan switch,, relay not being commanded on. i had put a new radiator and did not fix the problem. other than that i freakin miss that car.

Wow randy that is great you have another chevy monte carlo so amazing
That transport driver lord have mercy!! 🥺 😳
I like you going over the Carfax report on your cars when you get them

Morning Randy 1995 Monty Carlo sure it needs things but at the end it will look good new paint it will look nice thanks for the video
That car has potential, for sure!

You could open your own car lot with all those cars - Randy's Car Resort
Randy I enjoy how you put old car commercials in your videos now
My co-worker Wes had a car just like that but 1998 model, don't see many of them on the road anymore, he had his in 2017. Good luck with that 1.

Randy great video and quirky awesome car!! my first car wsa 1997 z34 and it was a fun car white with white rims.
also, looking back around 7:12 the throttle body was changed but 11/10/04 intake and gasket replaced
Finally a Z34! Personally I prefer the early 90s Lumina Z34s but it's awesome to see a Monte Z34 on this channel.
I have a black 95 Monte Carlo with 1725106 miles in it and I must say these cars really chug along if you take care of them
I bet if u fix the abs the cruise will work again, that was common on the older cars. Also anytime u have trouble getting it to take Freon when the can gets cold u can dip it in hot water and it’ll suck the can in right away.
Randy nice video that’s got to be worth saving it a nice looking motor and as you say older cars have there problems and it nice seeing you repair them you do good work

Not my favorite generation of the Monte Carlo, but still a pretty decent car. Loving this content. You need to find a Lumina Z34 and a Beretta Z26.

Still have a 96 Z34 that we drive 50 mi. a day to work and home. Its still a fun ride with 175K. Just make sure your timing belt is good! And make sure you know how to change it. Its not an easy job.
Once again. Thanks for the video Randy ❤
The fans are worth more than the price you paid for the car.
He was smart to go down there with a inclosed trailer with the hurricane weather! If it was exposed it prob would’ve been beaten to death by debris or sand blasted by windy sand weather!
Lots of money needed for this monte, it’s getting tired. Double check the ac coolant mix. I suggest you check the coolant mix. Sometimes if not right, the sensor doesn’t work right.
You like this car. That is enough for me if you want to do some fixing on this car. The body and interior are still in good shape.
I loved these cars! I saved up all my money from a summer job when I was 16 for a white 95 Z34. I loved the car so much but unfortunately it idled like it had a hot cam in it that made it impossible to drive. Used that money for a 79 Duster instead.
Your buying great used 80's and 90's vehicles.😊❤️
The joke with the speaker wire was hilarious because I’ve seen janky “repairs” like that all my life lol
Love the videos of these older cars
You are really a level headed guy!! Especially with the shipping company.. I would have nailed them umti🎉I received a discount for their negligence. There would be no way in hell, I would have crawled under the car. If the owner saw that, unless the guy there was there, that would be an insurance risk. If you got hurt, you would onw them!!
You pulled it out of that state just in time I guess! But it sounds great!
She looks awesome!!!❤️
Good Luck with your 95 Monte Carlo Z34 Randy
If you take the intake apart, then why not replace everything possible since you have it all apart. Prevents doing the same job twice, or take everything apart and find out everything you'll need.
Hi Randy, thanks for posting. Happy New Year 🍎 and 🍯
Chag Semeach 🍎 🍯
@@AutoAuctionRebuilds Oakllahoma red dirt on my mind 😀😃
Randy turn on your heater setting to full hot, and blower to max amd watch that over heating go away 😊
Awesome collection of cars
I like the way you make your sound of radling or tapping it make me laugh every time and that car is nice.
The coolant sensor will be a grounding circuit for the fan relay. So you can ground that wire to make the fan come on.
My lord Columbia sc.... and fort Jackson. My old stompin ground. Love the monte carlo
Great find🎉
Got some excellent inexpensive paint jobs done years past at the Lawrenceville Georgia Maaco shop
Totally fix the Monta Carlo
MONTE CARLO
Makes me miss my '97 Z34. I want another one.
She has been very well taken care of. 👍
The tires will be good for the 10 mile run 👍
I've been looking forever for these wheels to put on my 97 lumina
Very cool as I love these cars and W body's in general. Not particularly rare though as Monte Z34's can still be found pretty regularly on FB Market, etc. The really rare Monte's are the one year only 1995 Z34's with the bench seat and column shifter. Very few were made. The Monte Carlo Z34 and Lumina LS sedan, (when optioned with code LQ1), with bench seat/column shifter are unicorns. The Lumina LS LQ1 sedan is WAY more rare than ANY 95-97 Z34. They were the only W body made from 91-97 that could be ordered with both the LQ1 and bench seat/column shifter...again, for 1995 only.
She will do great on a 10 mile run, she needs a paint job, fluids changed, some freon.some struts and new tires!!!😊👍
