1984 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS by Detroit Speed - One Take

This 1984 Chevrolet Monte Carlo "G-Body" is the development car for Detroit Speed and Engineering's G-Body suspension kit. It is a highly original car with just 80,000 miles on it, an original interior, and the original Chevy 305 V8 and 3-speed automatic transmission. But Detroit Speed's ride and handling division made magic out of mud by completely revamping the steering, suspension, chassis, brakes, wheels, and tires, turning this Monte Carlo in to a beautiful North Carolina Cruiser.
Check out Detroit Speed's G-Body Upgrade Options at:

Full Disclosure: Detroit Speed and Engineering provided a flight, a rental car, hotel room, and two delicious North Carolina meals towards the production costs of this video.

Good thing this car guy knows his cars, the Monte Carlo SS was reintroduced in 1983 and it most definitely has a 3 speed auto, without looking it up I'm pretty sure it's a 200 metric. As far as an LS swap, well it's cliche' nowadays but if anything needs an LS swap it's this car, 165 HP!

The only time the monte SS came with a 350 was the mexican Monte Carlo. Came with different wheels and a hurst 4 speed manual. I believe it was only offered in 84 as well.

Klasse Act I went fishing for info and the fact is they came with a the 350trans before 85. Go figure the Hrust Olds and 442 Cutlass always had the 2004r. But the MCss never came with the 8.5 rear either. I got a 86 442 in the works. Guess you learn something new every day.

I bought one of the first two SS Monte Carlos made IN 1983 not ‘84. Also,this is not the SS factory interior as it came from the factory. ‘83/84 had blue seats with white trim and SS embroidered on the headrests. Door panels were two tone as well. It was very common for these to be stolen and stripped-then put back together with standard Monte Carlo interior pieces-such as you see in this video.

I have an 84 Hurst Cutlass it's got a bone stock engine, rebuilt trans and a 3.42posi I've lowered it about 2 inches, I have some cheap ebay shocks on it and just those 2 things have made it so much better handling. Next year she's getting a 403ci and TH350 or TH400 and possibly a brake upgrade. G Bodies are awesome cars for not a lot of money.

I had this cars twin. the 305 is H.O. predating the later vortec series. the automatic has a little extra lockup around 80mph. One of gm's prophetic machines, as 5 liters +/- took over. I liked this car enough to grab at a 1996 pickup with the last 305...multiport injected instead. A holley wakes up the low end, but burning tires everywhere. the stock rochester had to go in mine.

My 84 SS looks like this one. It's factory original except for new springs and KYB shocks. It's not a powerhouse, but it does handle really well. It takes turns flat, and fast, it will surprise you as to how well it handles. A 383 with an overdrive transmission would really wake this car up.

I love the Monte Carlo SS body style of that year and those years that they have the same body styles of the SS Monte Carlo 84-85-86-87!!! they had a beautiful motor and they have beautiful dual exhaust with them already already they had a great Rumble to them! Or so they were easier 2 basically modified quickly adding horsepower with just bolt ons!... But like I said I love them I always love them the same way as I love the 67 Mustang GT500!!!! AND also how I love the newest Mustangs GT550! or Mustang's RTR!!! and Mustang GT350R 2015-2017!!!..

I liked the Monte Carlo aero coupe more. But I'm remembering it from the prospective of a 10 year old kid. But Pontiac got saddled with THE UGLY version of the G-body coupe, the 1986 "Grand Prix 2+2". They tried to put a Firebird's rear glass on the G-body with a front end that just did not work with the rest of the car. IT also wrecked the cars usability not just the looks.
