- I've waited a long time to shoot this one with our friend Garrett at American MuscleHD and that the shoot happened during LS Fest East in Bowling Green, KY made it that much cooler! Garrett built a total driver Monte Carlo making over 700 hp with proper suspension upgrades and truly built to drive and shred tires so sit back and enjoy the ride...

The G-Body will never go out of style
Facts
Never ever!!!
Redneck upper class
Something me and the wife argue about all the damn time!! My first car was an 85 Monte Carlo SS, I’ve loved them ever since, and wanting to get another one to build. She thinks they’re ugly…… almost caused a divorce 😂
@@barryfoster6265 oh shit....lol well it's either the wife or the G-body. Better keep the wife😵
DUDE!!! Im so glad we finally were able to shoot the car together! Next time we do we will for sure go for a longer drive when she is cooperating lol
Excellent interview and video🍻
Thank you! @@christophermarechal5017
Awesome story regarding what's meant to be. Beautiful G-body in all aspects. My first car was a '84 MC SS. I went through the stock 305 and two 350's, and a laundry list of other mechanical and miscellaneous issues before parting ways. Still some of my best auto memories.
Thanks man for the vid. Would love to bring my iroc z and meet you one day take care.
Stoked we finally got to shoot it brother!!
The story of people helping and coming together then he gets his car back is the best part of this video!!!!!!
Such a crazy story. Good karma for Garrett!!
He's a blessed man. God's angles went to war and got his victory. What God has for you, no man can take...
Had a 86 t-top SS for a few years. Engine was a mild 355 SBC. Can’t go wrong with a Monte SS.👍👊
My favorite of the G bodies
@@AutotopiaLA they is noot 700hp
One of my favorites on the channel! Thanks homies!
Ok, we’ve had a GN, Monte, now time for a Cutlass…gotta round it out! 84 Monte was my first car, wasn’t lucky enough to have an SS though.
True but we need a Pontiac grand prix as well!!
Love the car, enjoy it well. I am happy that you got it back, after it was stolen. But there is one thing I have to say. I am 76 years young, and I think that burning rubber is a foolish waste.
That’s a beautiful SS. I wish I had bought one when they were cheap.
Man that Monte Carlo is gorgeous, I remember when those came out in the 80’s and that to me is what a chevelle SS would’ve looked like had they continued manufacturing them
I was born in 82, so I remember the Monte’s very well back when they were still new cars. They’ve lost their luster because they weren’t particularly fast, and the GN stole the show when you bring up G-body. However back in the days the Monte SS was a cool car, and IMO it’s the best and meanest looking G body.
Absolutely love this ride. Glad it got a proper feature on this channel.
A 100% percent honest car guy, keep up the great work with the vehicle
That's my "G-nephew" so proud of you "G"...keep up the great work... The car 🚗 Monte C. is.. Hot 🔥
Read my mind, I was just thinking I would love to see more 80s/90s cars. Can't wait to watch the video.
OMG, I had the same car, same year and color. Made front cover of Monte carlo owners magazine doing a burnout...Classic!!!!!!!!
What a cool, honest car.Not a trailer queen, a real driver!
Now THAT is a “ real” build, Shawn! Garrett is such a cool dude. I followed the whole theft incident-great to see it back to rockin’. 👍
It's always amazing to see a guy find out he's truly loved by his circle
One of my favorite cars I'm a former owner of the 84ss ( it is missed ) beautiful build my hats off to you stolen and recovered happened to me twice however not as fortunate as you in the engine department
That's my affordable dream car. That exact year of Monte Carlo. It has the perfect blend of muscle car with a little bit or low rider style to it. That car can scratch a few itches and not look gimmicky while doing it.
Clap your hands 👏 if you want the Montecarlo to be brought back again! 😀
👏
I’d love to see that happen but tbh I’d worry they’d screw it up and design it like they did the Malibu.
@@ryandubyah2345 Yeah they could have done better with the Malibu's
According to Chevrolet, they refused to reintroduce the Monte Carlo, which is believed to have internally competed with the Camaro 🤔🤑
That would be nice, but they're not going to. If you know GM's mentality these days, and like the previous commenter said, they probably wouldn't want this competing with the Camaro. And if you're thinking of a 4 door, they don't want it competing with the Cadillac lineup.
The only one that has any chance of coming back as a V8 4 door sedan is the Impala SS, to compete with the Charger and 300. But even thats doubtful.
My dream car is a like 400-450 wheel big block G body Monty Carlo with a ZL1 irs rear end and coil overs
Great story on this car. My first car was an 84 monte SS in blue. (The only year they made it in Blue). It was a nice big cruiser. Traded it for a 90 IROC back in the day. Looking forward to seeing more of this Monte Carlo.
Cool G-body, reminds me of my 1985 monte ss, burgundy and maroon, I purchased new 8-15-1985, man I loved that ride it was perfect for a young family, I let my then wife drive it fla-Ga weekend and some punk rearended the car, light damage, had it fixed at the dealer, then it was stolen in Daytona beach on a weekend trip,found 2 days later, brought it back to dealer and had it fixed again, divorced the cheating wife and car was stolen again from my new apartment, got it back that morning and had the dealer fix it again ,the final straw was some stupid chick ran a stop sign and clipped the front end bending the frame and frame horns, so after 13 years and 114k miles it was totalled, man I still miss the car and its been 25 years since I had it, you have an awesome ride and great content on the show.
This monte and Frankie Tru's Regal are my favorite G Bodies of all time.
I'm honored to be apart of such great company! Frankie's car is INSANE
Shawn, I know you are not a g-body guy unless it’s a grand National BUT, without even watching the video yet, I have requested you a few years back to a mid 80’s Monte SS (I have one too) and you didn’t disappoint me!!!!! 👍🚗🥋
Classic from day 1....those bodylines cant be beat.
I agree. Sexy car
Yea Garrett! Was cool to see the Monte in real time
Have to love the G-bodys.
Building a 85 Monte right now.
1984 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO SS...PURE GM POWER 🔋
Love these cars. Like to see 1/4 mile times.
He didn’t set it up for any type of driving other than driving but sure is cool
Have always loved the body lines on this car. In my opinion it’s genuinely beautiful & equally sinister
Love those '80s G-body rides ...
Bad ass car! Garrett’s a cool guy…got lots of same friends. My buddy had a cool Monte Carlo in high school…always loved those things. 🔥🔥
Definitely a cool car and Garrett is awesome!
Nothing is better than a drive able hot rod. Love it
G body shout out. They were always the clean style. My parents had a Regal. Nice to see a Monte Carlo. With a history. Cool story bro. God is good. Nice whip. Perfect build. ❤❤🙏🙏👍👍🤑😎
Finally..It's been a long wait, but it was worth it. I was one of the subscribers who requested a Monte Carlo years ago! Perfect engine in there, I must say.
Love the stories, and love this channel.
Thank you and this one is a crazy story! Stoked he got it back
Killer 84 Monte Carlo Always like those in the SS trim 😎👍👍🤙
this Chevy is a masterpiece...... Danm good....... That era cannot happen again. salute buddy..... Keep it up shawn...... Greetings from india 🇮🇳🤘🏻🤘🏻🤠🤠🤩
Killer car and an awesome dude. Glad it was recovered. But when he said he posted his “security system” online that’s proof people are too comfortable posting everything. Someone saw that and thought “hey I have that wheel” and they stole it. Don’t show or tell your secrets. It’s like hiding a GPS unit/ Apple AirTag and showing the world where it is or your hidden starter button or power disconnects etc.
aaagree...sounds ike it would have been nabbed anyways. Thieves wait for those events. Lowest life form ever
Always had a fetish for these Monte Carlos. This build nailed it - the stance, the powertrain, everything and the owner seems like a stand up dude. Would've loved to see some driving action. Very nice feature thank you for sharing.
That is one sharp Monte Carlo. And awesome how the car lovers community came to help him. Awesome story.
About time you got a G Body Monte Carlo SS on the channel!
that ss is my dream car nice job man
Bout time you did a Monte, keep ‘em coming brother!!!
One sick ass Monte Carlo. The perfect street car. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!
I will always love the SS!!!
Love me some Monte. One of the most stylin' bodies GM ever made, Any year. This one is tight in blue by-you!
Such a great inspiration... my 84 Old's Delta 88 will get there someday 😊
What a great story and a super cool car. I agree with you Sean that those SS's are so cool and great lines.
this guy is super cool 👍👍👍
So stoked on this video. Garretts a rad guy, and so is shawn. Love this Gbody!
Been following this build since he got the car back in the day this is cool
I remember this. Im from greensboro, we all was on hit man shit here in nc ready to put in work on who ever stole it.
That's love for real! I know I had legit regulators (word to Warren G) out there for me during that incident!
This one made me miss not having a video last Friday but made up for it! What a genuine beast. Raw power and a daily driver's dream.
What a beautiful car, love the color and the wheels
Me too. Clean and mean
OG this dude built my dream Monte
I love the Monte Carlo SS's! This is a very nice example
Great combination of the driver, build, and story. His vision was spot on! Something I think we can all learn from this is that this build can do it all.
Always love this car and this man made it a dream!!
Idc what the paint looks like. That car is 🔥
I can relate to having my car stolen and returned. It's the worst rollercoaster of emotions. So glad that he got it back.
I think the stance and the hood visually makes that car for me that motor set up tho looks super clean and bet it’s a blast to hammer on lol
I like how subtle the car is, how lay back the owner is. Is that the original paint? Great video as always.
Don’t know about the paint but cool car and owner for sure
She has been repainted once since I've owned it. The blue is a little lighter than factory and has some more metallic in it! 🙏🏽🤟🏽
I really enjoyed this vid today. Rock on Autotopia
Badass ride!!! 🔥
I remember the day this was stolen and the day it was found in a field, great video as always AutotopiaLA didn’t expect this one with American Muscle
Sounds badass.. I'm beginning to get hooked on the black widows.. think I'll try them on my ride!!
Black Widow sounds great. Loud but cool
Killer episode 🏁🏁🏁
I hope my yelling at you this morning didn't startle you. It was a pleasure meeting you guys.
I see that Certified Summer Sticker 🙌🏽🙌🏽 Great Feature for the Fam
Yessir!! Gonna need a new one, it's peeling lol
What a damn cool car! The story of the car getting stolen and returned is just unbelievable!!!!! Great work as always dude. Keep up the awesome content! You are truly one of my favorite hosts!
Love that you guys did this one!!!!!!!❤
Thats a hard balance between loving your ride,and loving to flog the piss out of it daily.
Sure is
Sick ride, great story!!!!❤
SHAWN I LOVE THE GBODY VIDEO'S!!! This is awesome, as I said in another comment with the insane T-Type that I absolutely love. Thank you for what you do, Shawn. I hope someday I'll be of this caliber
Another bad ass ride Sean. I’ve seen that car before and it’s even better than be for. Such a cool dude and story. Real nice 👍
Definitely the coolest dude you've had on the show! Thanks for sharing that badass
Monte ✊
1984 Chevy Monte Carlo SS 💙
That's an incredible story and badass car!! 💯💯💯
My favorite episode by far now… lovely interview and car and host. Wonderful
Wow. This is a beauty. I FINALLY after 20+ years have a Monte Carlo SS again and am eating up any G-body vids I can watch. I had a 87 SS with the T-tops in high school (it was kind of a beater) and it had an engine fire. The 85 SS I just got is beautiful, with only 65k+ miles... But it needs more HP, thats for sure. Super cool story Garrett on getting the car back LOVE the classic Brewers hat too #414 #MKE.
Best video of the whole show
love that ride
Man my first car was a '81 Monte Carlo. 1993. Was the lil V6 but fam when I say I've had a lot of cars since then, I still want to build one in 2023!
@americanmusclehd wowza! Followed this car since before the theft and recovery. Amazing build, leave the dent! Great episode. Humble man. Badass Monte!
Much love brother!
That Monte is fkn MINT dude !
What a story about the car. Great episode.
That’s awesome that your sponsors offered to help you out and make a my page for your loss
Long live the G-Body .. excellent episode once again thanks.
This guy is genuine. Love his vibe and the car too.
This one is so clean a true work of art, I miss my 86 Monte Carlo shoutout to the G-Bodys 💪
I will always love this car and the same year camaro
Excellent video!! I have a stock 86 ss and I loved every minute of this video. Glad you got your car back. Very cool to see. 👍👍two thumbs way up
My first car was a G body love them bad boys. That car is a bad ass G ryde.
Love G bodies. My 1st car was a 1983 Monte Carlo.
Best g body car around
I don't know much about cars, but I can definitely appreciate the build and the tunes.
I admittedly am not a big fan of Monte Carlos, but this car is done right…looks great 👍🏻
He did this one really cool and enjoys the hell out of it!
"more less completed fashion" luv it
sensible ....nice ride Garrett
He’s such a cool guy and I love his Monte
