1976 Chevy Monte Carlo - All Original!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- In this 98th Video from Classic Car ChitChat you will get to meet a David who owns a stunning 1976 Monte Carlo. Design: The styling of the 1976 Monte Carlo was a luxury car with a sleek and aerodynamic design. Even with engine options you could get a 350 cubic inch V8 or a 400 cubic inch V8. The luxury of this car did not stop there with plush velour or leather seating, power windows, and air conditioning. The ride in David’s car is incredible with a smooth and comfortable ride, as well as its responsive handling.
The 1976 Monte Carlo has since become a classic car, popular among collectors and enthusiasts and much sought after by so many collectors. What makes David more special is that I met David many years ago and he was the owner of my 1973 MGB before I bought it off of him.
In case you are keeping Track this is Video # 98 of Classic Car ChitChat Videos!
I hope my Classic Car ChitChat videos make you smile. I do them in my spare time because I truly love cars and my intentions are simply to honour the beautiful cars I get to see and to really understand the passion and love of the vehicle by the driver (or caretaker as Jay Leno would say) of the car. I also understand too that my videos perhaps lack the polish calibre of great RUclipsrs like: Doug DeMuro, Scotty Kilmer, and of course my favourite Supercar Blondie. I also know that I can’t even come close the quality & finish you get from the likes of Jeremy Clarkson and the boys at Top Gear. I think they use a little fancier equipment than my little iPhone… LOL
Mission Statement:
My Objective through creating these videos is to shine the spotlight on people who love their vehicles whether it be a car, motorcycle, or even a bicycle…. Bottom line is if it has wheels and you love it then let’s show that passion to the world!
Equipment Used:
Camera
- Just an iPhone SE (Nothing fancy - which proves anyone can use whatever you have handy to make a video… you don’t need really expensive equipment)
- I also use Insta 360X2 which is perhaps one of the best investments I have made and allows me to capture some really cool 360 degree views and also creates a “drone like” effect with the invisible selfie stick attachment.
Gimbal - DJI OM4 - For that ultra-smooth cinematic look. (To be honest... still not quite sure how to use it but one day I will figure it out!)
Audio - Rode Wireless GO II (I gotta be honest… this is really the biggest investment that was made… I wish there was a cheaper option but after the first couple of videos I soon realized that audio quality is important and hopefully better than the onboard mic on the iPhone!
Contact Details: If you have any questions or just want to chat you can reach me through all the (non-traditional) typical ways through the following:

If you have read this far, then I thank you. As always, I truly appreciate your “thumbs-up”, and by leaving your comments it demonstrates to me that I managed to get you involved and hopefully made you smile.

Thank You
Kevin

Had two '77s from when I was 16 -20 years old. Miss the both. Great cars and no computer bs.
Tim.. had to laugh. You can’t beat old school engineering and mechanical things that we could actually fix ourselves.
I also wanted to take a moment to personally thank for taking the time to watching my videos, leaving a comment and for subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it.
My intention when creating these videos is to showcase not only the beautiful car but give the owner an opportunity to share their story, love and passion for their car. Thanks again Kevin.
This Monte Carlo is the perfect big car that screams Americana. I have always loved the styling of this fantastic car. GREAT VIDEO!
Couldn't agree more!
These engines and transmission system are in a class of their own. A great video and nice to see an owner taking pride in his cars.
Well said!
The 76 and 77 Monte are my favorites ....
Would love to find one like this!!
Hernandez, you are so right. The sweeping lines on this body style make it such an iconic and much sought after car from people who want to restore them to original and also so tempting to get them modified and make them even more unique. Recently while visiting Chicago I saw a low rider in the Monte Carlo with Purple paint that took my breath away.

I have been searching for one of these for the longest time. My favorite color has always been the Monte Carlo in the Maroon. This car is just absolutely gorgeous and maybe its my new favorite color too. 🥰
Julia, this truly is a gem.
I had the maroon called Mahogany Metallic with white interior & white vinyl top.
This car has got to be one of the best Monte Carlo designs ever made. Wonderful video.
I agree.
That was my 1st car. It was silver with the maroon half vinyl top. Thanks for bringing back the memories.
Kimlash, the Monte Carlo is just a stunner from all angles. I am glad it brings back fond memories.

The Monte Carlo is one of my favourite cars of all time. The engine is Sweet and the car also has one if the best 3 speed Turbo Hydra-Matic transmissions.
Thanks Frank
boaty and solid cars. really popular in the 80s high school.
Mbcoll.. they certainly were along with the occasional Grand National that made all the boys envious and in awe for sure.. the girls too I think.

I bought a used 1974 Monte Carlo. It wasn't perfect but it was in very nice condition for ten year old car at the time. It was dark blue and I added chrome wheels with B F Goodrich RWL Radial TA's.
Again, it was not perfect but it turned heads.
One of the nicest riding cars I ever owned.
( My big brothers friend had a 1976 Monte Carlo like the one in the video. The color was light blue. I remember when he bought it brand new. As a kid I remember thinking he was the coolest guy in town because he also had a blue Harley Davidson Super Glide. He also served in Viet Nam and was wounded in action. God Bless all men and women that served their countries ).
Super glide, the blue looks awesome on this car too. Perhaps it’s one of the most beautiful body shape (in the correct portions) of cars from that era. wow such awesome memories of your brother’s friend too.

That was my first car.. my first love. I will get one again. It reminds me of when I had her.
I can tell you are still missing that Monte Carlo. I also wanted to take a moment to personally thank for taking the time to watching my videos, leaving a comment and for subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it.

@@ClassicCarChitChat yea I’m definitely missing her.. you never forget your first love. It’s a pleasure seeing videos like this. It makes them worth watching. I also owned a red one. But the cream was my first.
Thank you for making quality videos.
ALL the Monty's 74 through 77 had those split rear windows.
I love that feature.
Very impressive David! Cheers!
Ron, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to allow ´ordinary people’ who love cars an opportunity to speak about their car and why that car means so much to them. After all we are all the "caretakers"of our cars (as Jay Leno rightly says). 👏 Thankfully David takes care of his cars and hence me benefiting still with my MG.
Just a priceless and timeless beauty!
I agree
I too love the big cars. I owned a ‘76 and then a ‘77 Monte… by far my favourite cars
Ron, I completely agree.. Just beautifully designed with the curves in the right places and a power for days. You lucky dog.. Owning a couple of these beauties in the past!
A classic car in every sense with a big block to boot.
You got it.
"What do you call that?" I think you are pointing to the beauty rings.
I grew up in the back seat of a '76. My dad's was black with black landau roof (or partial as a real landau covers the entire roof) and maroon interior. I was too young to know or care what engine it had. The first time I acknowledged my growth was the night I didn't fit lying flat between the armrests in the rear seat LOL. My old man doted on that car.
These cars have some of the sexiest hips of all time! One of the last designs to have that female Coke bottle design.
Front seat (love the name) … sexiest hips.. never heard that about a car before but you’ve nailed it. So true the Monte Carlo had the most beautiful lines ever imagined. Also.. yes the chrome rings are in fact “beauty rings” I’d forgotten the term. I also wanted to take a moment to personally thank for taking the time to watching my videos, leaving a comment and for subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it.

Now I really miss my ‘76, we’ll never see a car like that again, rode like a dream n boy howdy, got more speeding tickets in it than my ‘83 Nissan turbo 280ZX
Kathy, I can tell you still miss this car dearly. The Monte Carlo had by far one of the most beautiful curves on a car and no matter which angle you looked at her it just felt “right”. I had to laugh about your speeding tickets because it’s true.. this car goes very fast very quickly.. but the sound and feel any 70mph is the same as at 30mph.. so smooth. I also wanted to take a moment to personally thank for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. As you may have seen in my videos that my intention is to showcase not only the beautiful car and really give the owner of the car (the caretaker as Jay Leno rightly says) the opportunity to share their story, love and passion for their car. Thanks again Kevin.
I still miss my Buick 66 LeSabre, those old girls could pick up their petticoats and smoke that asphalt, my first car!
Fine-looking monte carlo! One of my favorite body styles!
Rex, I would agree. The lines on the Monte Carlo are beautiful and no matter which angle you look at her something just seems “right “.

Fantastic video and great to see an English man appreciate American cars. Well done mate as they say.
Glad you enjoyed it
They are like a nice couch on wheels.
Lance, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it.

The 1977 Monte Carlo actually has a hood ornament. Beautiful car! Love the cream color
Clayton, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to allow "ordinary" people who love cars an opportunity to speak about their car and why that car means so much to them. After all we are all the "caretakers"of our cars (as Jay Leno rightly says). 🙂 Thank you for sharing the details about the hood ornament. I think that the ornament would really make it pop.
@@ClassicCarChitChat I had a 76 that my uncle put the 77 ornament on, that's the only reason I know :) It looked wonderful, and you're right it did make the front end pop a lot more. Check it out when you get the chance. Thank you for the reply! I enjoy your content and look forward to checking out more of your videos. Cheers!
I know my dad had a 76 with these seats and a 400 cubic inch option ? Sun roof and center console shifter. We had it for 12 years until I was 10 years old. Black on black. He just sent me a couple of pictures of it
This car is piece if art. 😊
You said it.
Brilliant car. Funny you mention on the video about the Zephyr because I used to own one back in the day. Great video Kevin as always please keep them coming 👍
Thanks for sharing
Love it. My first car was a 1976 Monte Carlo it was black.

@@ClassicCarChitChat Thank you for the offer but unfortunately I live in Pennsylvania, wish I was closer, that would be awesome! Keep up the great content!

Just like mine. With out that. Last year.
Interesting video, but I think one barrel roll of the drone is enough.
Thanks.
5:25 ALL General Motors paint colors have a specific name, even if it is a simple name such as “cream”.
David, thanks for that insight. I will certainly share with the owner. I also wanted to take a moment to personally thank for taking the time to watching my videos, leaving a comment and for subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it.

@@ClassicCarChitChat all body shops have four or five “color books”, which are about 4 inches thick and go back to about 1950. They have literally thousands of colors in these books, with the names and the part numbers for every car sold in the USA. Thanks!
The color name is Cream. Paint code: WA4765. Great color!
This car is just a beautiful car ripe to convert to a low rider. Just kidding man, leave it as it is.
I agree.
Well would you look at that
