New from Elko, Nevada!

[GBodyJake]

Hey, my name is Jake. I am 23 years old and I am from Elko, Nevada. I have always had a thing for 80's GM cars and I have had a few (88 Celebrity Eurosport, 82 LeSabre Limited) and I am now the proud owner of a 1984 Chevy Monte Carlo with the 305. It does need paint but the body is in excellent condition. I will explain more later with some pictures.

Thanks guys!

Welcome from SW Georgia. You have come to the right place for awesome info, inspiration with a few smart a***s to add a bit of fun. Don't be afraid to ask a question.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! Here's a few pictures.

This is an 84 with the 305 and I believe the non O/D transmission. Power windows and locks. Bench seat, column shifter.

I know, it doesn't look too hot right now. It does need paint. This car has minimal real rust (aside from the surface rust you see), an extremely straight body and a strong powertrain. Interior is great except for the cracked dash, as you can see in the photos. And someone butchered the center radio bezel when installing the stereo so I need to fix that. Current plans are a temporary white paint job, some general maintenance (new tires, rear brakes, new wheels, ball joints, tie rods etc) and SS gauges.
