This is what three too many W-bodies looks like...

[Night Fury]

The cars aren't too clean, but this was kindof a spur of the moment, oh my god they're all at the house, lets do something about it type deal. Enjoy the fail.

They look good! :thumbsup: All three of those cars are fairly uncommon around here. Especially the SE. I haven't even seen too many newer Montes :confused:

[Garrett Powered]

I like the leathers

[94 olds vert]

That GTP is awesome. Needs more valance.

[ScoobyDoo82]

SOME PICS FINALLY!!!

Loving the fleet, especially the 88 :D

[runt]

Cars look great. I'd love to even just drive a 5 speed W.

Liking that '06?

[Night Fury]

Yeah the 06 is great! It's leaking quite a bit of oil from (dear god no) the oil pan I think.

3500 is a great engine. Smooth, quiet, powerful, reliable....

06- 210,200 miles
88- 256,100 miles
91- 174,000 miles

[Night Fury]

Figured I'd be fair to the monte and actually at least powerwash the bird shit off of it. Also powerwashed the bay, it was FILTHY.

[RobertISaar]

is it bad that i want every one of those cars?

[Night Fury]

is it bad that i want every one of those cars?

Yes.

[Addicted To Boost]

Winning! I miss driving the 88...

[Night Fury]

DO YOU!??!?!

[Addicted To Boost]

Especially the 5-speed. I've learned all about the fail the 4T65 can be. LOL

The 91 looks SO much better without the hood bra!

[Night Fury]

Especially the 5-speed. I've learned all about the fail the 4T65 can be. LOL

The 91 looks SO much better without the hood bra!

Yeah..... I don't know why you didn't take the 5 seconds to do that.... LOL

[AWeb80]

I want to drive your 91 so bad.....I love a 3.4 5 speed.

[Addicted To Boost]

Yeah..... I don't know why you didn't take the 5 seconds to do that.... LOL
It was colder than absolute zero the entire time I owned the car... LOL

[Night Fury]

I want to drive your 91 so bad.....I love a 3.4 5 speed.

Good news: this LQ1 preforms AWESOME, better than the other two I had. Bad news: you have to granny shift it.

[GOT2B GM]

Cars are looking good Buck!

I have a valance I would part with if you're interested......

[Night Fury]

YES PLEASE!

[Addicted To Boost]

Good news: this LQ1 preforms AWESOME, better than the other two I had. Bad news: you have to granny shift it.
Have you changed the fluid in it yet? I flushed the 282 in the 88 out and then replaced it with Amsoil Synchromesh and it made a world of a difference. MUCH less notchy and it quit jumping out of first gear after I drove it for a while.

[Night Fury]

Not yet, but I plan on it.

[GOT2B GM]

You coming to w-body meat this summer?

[Night Fury]

Yes sir! Is that just paint scuffing in the middle or is there a big chunk out of it? Hard to see.

[GOT2B GM]

paint scuff

[Night Fury]

Okie dokie, consider it sold :p

[carkhz316]

Nice man. How's the Monte/ 3500 been treating ya? Just wondering what I can look out for on my wife's '06 Impy.

[Night Fury]

Nice man. How's the Monte/ 3500 been treating ya? Just wondering what I can look out for on my wife's '06 Impy.

It has been in the family since the 20k mile range, and it now has 210k miles on it. In that time, a fair amount of stuff has needed replaced, but most of it has been wear items. It's a good car.

[ZoomZoomFan]

They all look nifty to me. I love those newer Montes for some reason. Good to know that 3500 made it to 210k. Gives me hope for my fiance's Malibu with that engine. The rest of the car may fall apart, but at least the powerplant will be good (hopefully). :)

The '88 is my favorite.

[Mach 5]

sweet lineup!

[jeremy]

very nice collection Buck!


* on a side note, I never did understand the fascination that everyone here has with the 282/284 cars. they are one of the crudest feeling manual transmissions that I have ever driven....granted they were more fun then then slushboxes from those years, but still very crude none-the-less...

[RobertISaar]

but how many GOOD feeling/durable GM transaxles are there?

i'm just obsessed with rowing my own, which everyone that likes 282/284 must be as well to put up with their quirks.

[Nick1234]

Cars are looking good! Thats a ton of miles on the Mont2.. I wish i could rack some more miles on the Impala. At 182,600 right now. Goal is 200k. A bit out of the loop. What happened the the black GP?

[95cutlass]

Very nice looking cars. I can't beleive that 06' has that many miles on it!!

[GOT2B GM]

As much as I love my manual trans cars, Jeremy is right. :lol: I like my 282/284 cars in smaller doses. The notchy / noisy / numb getrags are not very refined and gets old after a while.

[RobertISaar]

What happened the the black GP?

Nick has it.

obviously not you Nick, Addicted to Boost Nick.

[Addicted To Boost]

Hi! I have it now.

[Garrett Powered]

he may be right they get old after awhile but my latest slushbox is very fun so far. I can't imagine the manual being this fun. then again I haven't driven a turbo with manual trans.

[Addicted To Boost]

I daily drove the 88 5-speed for quite a while with no complaints :shrug: I'd love to have that trans in the 04 instead of the 4T65.

[GOT2B GM]

Just depends how fussy you are I suppose....

[Addicted To Boost]

And how lucky you get with that particular transmission. The 89 5-speed GP I had in high school was notchy and finicky as fuck. The 88 was MUCH better.

[AWeb80]

plus the 5speed is just a perfect match for the 3.4. it also allows you to stay in the power curve w/ the 2.8......since there isn't much power there.:lol:

[Night Fury]

Thanks all.

And yes, the MTXs are notchy and primitive feeling, but TBH a LQ1 isn't really worth having without a mtx behind it. REALLY wakes it up. Also, 2.8/auto? Come on now. I like beating snails to highway speeds.

That said, my 284 needs a fluid flush, and first gear in the 88/282 is kinda stupid. It's about like reverse in most other mtx cars... Can't hardly get it in unless you're moving.

[pshojo]

Two manuals? I'm so jealous. I would love to have one.

[White93z34]

As much as I love my manual trans cars, Jeremy is right. :lol: I like my 282/284 cars in smaller doses. The notchy / noisy / numb getrags are not very refined and gets old after a while.

1000x this. I don't like daily driving my z34 for very long because of that.

[Cully77]

any plans to paint the sideskirts on the monte body colored?

[Night Fury]

Now there's an idea that would likely make a huge difference!!
