Yes I never liked the Camaros I prefer this montecarlo SS generation they looks very nice

that's what I thought. People say the 305 is a boat anchor but this one moves pretty good.

That chirp in second gear would most definitely be a quick shift kit. I owned an ‘84 back in high school and the trans would never do that stock. Once I put a B&M shift kit with stronger springs and revalving it got second every time. The car in this video is beautiful. Although I’d still take the TH200R4 w/3:73 gears over the TH350 and 3:42’s. The TH350 was dreadful on the highway.

correct. I went thru the previous owner's receipts and he did put a shift kit in it a few years ago!

It has decent low end torque

How much power does the egr and smog pump leach?

Thanks Sherman. I bought this car because of the condition. It’s obviously been loved. And continues to be babied in my care. A new owner will have it in 2020.

you know what to do.

Yes that interior was amazing. Like new after all that time it was obviously garaged a lot

yes great comment. the L69 is OK especially in a 5 speed Camaro.

My 84ss would do the same it all depends on how u lunch the car if floor it hard it wheel spend both of the tires and it will do 90 in quarter mile mines had the emissions delt the tube by the manifold I had it up to 5'000 on the highway I fast do u think I was going I was close to 5200 rpm

that's a good summer project. I sold this car and moving onto a 91 ZR-1

Shane McKinney I prefer these wheels to the newer ones on this g body style

My 85 had same wheels, i think 86 they switch to year one wheels

I agree!

ha! sold it. too many other rides

thanks Nate

stock.

Stock is a good look

thanks. will be back on the road soon. Maybe I'll take it for a quarantine cruise. Problem is, it will attract police attention because it stands out vs. boring new cars. I think the day is coming when you can only go out to the grocery store and back so you don't want to stand out. Isn't that a sad state of affairs?

Greg's Garage unfortunately they might mess with you. i can go for a cruise no matter what the situation is. i love it! if you do just be carful. make sure you make a part 2! i love this car

will do. I'll keep some grocery bags in the front seat and tell them I'm going to Safeway

don't wait till you retire. If you want one find one now. "waiting to retire" to do anything is a recipe for disaster.

@@gregs_garage I am always on the lookout, lol.

between 5 and 20,000 $

correct. B&M shift kit.

I think so. Can’t remember I sold the car.

herbankidd deez nutz

Love that color.

not a fan of T-tops. Prefer a solid roof, but to each their own.

@Martin L I had a camaro with t-tops but I prefer a solid roof nowadays.

They did in 84 mexico cars. Also with a hurst 4 speed stick. They were decently fast but not as fast as our auto with a 350 swap

not bad for an old body-on-frame car. They can be set up quite nicely but are decent stock.

In stock 36 year old form, corners are no sweat. Blows right past 'em. Not like you wanted to turn anyways, right?

@@mikebruce17 Haha! I'd like to have a drive of one. I like the styling.

@@johnnytenjobs I've had my eye on a Monte SS since the 3rd grade. I'm 36 now. Sucks that when I was in the market for a first car, they were a dime a dozen and my Dad said they would never be valuable. An MC SS in good condition is now $10k+. Sadly, I have far less buying power in my thirties than I did in my teens.

That's easy box it in with old trucks or cars and put a kill switch on it, many things you can do

Column lock lok it company name get nice alarm now they have GPS trackers also

Put in a Muncie 4spd.

I recall it was around 3000 RPM

@@gregs_garage nit bad considering it has a lockup Converter 🚗

don't know what that is

@@gregs_garage it's where you take off burning out and the rear end swerves side to side

@@kylephillip6433 this 305 can't do that - except on ice.

it does yes.

Is it white?

@@willardarmbruster8111 yes

B&M shift kit

@@gregs_garage I still find it hard to believe that is a stock 305 getting second gear rubber. I grew up in that era and ate Monte SS's for lunch with my Chevy C-10 mildly built and never seen a 305 get second gear rubber.

@@bryangeorge9461 had Edelbrock headers and a shift kit. Stock otherwise. The shift kit really makes it chirp.

this one did. 100%. listen carefully. shift kit.

t tops reduce rigidity of the body. and they have seals and squeek and leak. Always hated T tops

That's ok, I had a 84 mustang with tops and my aunt had an 85 monte with t top and I just fell in love.....

Lol.. Had an '84 Z28 with T-tops but never took them off but a couple times. I noticed other drivers and pedestrians were looking at me like I was a asshole riding around with T-tops off. Buy one and drive around like that and you'll understand. Oh well to each their own. 100% the solid roof for structural integrity. To the O.P.: Rust also tends to accumulate in the windshield pillars due to drainage with T-tops so be mindful to inspect for that as well if you shop for a T-top car. Repair of the pillars require either great skill or great $$$.

I think it was turbo 200 same as the grand national

They did not switch to 4 spd auto until 1985. The ‘83-84 had the Turbo350 3 spd with 3:42 gears. When they went to the 4spd they upped the rear gearing to 3:73. The ‘84 blue was my first car in 1987. Loved that car.

Greg's Garage - the TH200-4R

the car has been sitting for months. I'll do a cold start video soon when I bring it out of storage for the first time.

aluminum exhaust manifolds?!

😂 Are you hopped up on dope? They were cast iron, just like every other LG4, LU5, L69, LE9, LB9, L98, etc. Keep trying goodwrench!
