Guaranteed that car was a younger guy's first "hot rod". He used parts with names he's heard his grandpa talk about like Jasper. I only say this because I'm an old school truck guy who would do the same thing. I like carburetors, peanut port iron headed big blocks and 15" rims. I haven't kept up with these new fangled LS engines everyone loves. Don't get me wrong, I love them too I just know more about carburetors and points. I love channels like this that tear down, repair or build. I learn a lot from you guys. Respect
I wished Pontiac would have done like ford did with the mustang and when they brought back the Challenger. It was a updated version but still had the 1960s resemblance to them. If Pontiac would of done that with the GTO who knows maybe Pontiac might still be in business.
@@atticalaboratory You're dead right, it's a Monaro, a two door coupe version of the Holden Vy Commodore sedan. Holden released two door versions of a select range of there family oriented four door sedan's
Looks like a GMM rip shifter with a Lou's short stick. I'm baffled as to why a smaller trans was installed...if not the original tailshaft wasn't reused.
Damn this crazy this car came from my hometown where I was born n lived till I was bout 7 or so n I move to the country or Louisa Va. I wanna say just bcuz I know how the ppl is on RVA I wanna say either this car was stolen or was pulled over n ppl had drug n stuff in it n was running from police. I almost wanna bet that's what happened lol
@@scraplifegarage .. I can only tell you because I had to get mine rebuilt and thought it was a regular t56.. But apparently the back housing is different.. It's longer to relocate the shifter back..
Yall wrong... it's just missing the factory shifter/plate..that sits on top of trans.. once removed for a aftermarket shifter this is how the trans tunnel will look.
Car ‘looks’ clean. But my guess is, maybe not in a major accident but, smacked something and damaged miscellaneous things that were replaced with parts from another car. Curious about this one… and I’m not even a GM guy 😂
I am a ford guy through and through but these are really cool cars imo. Very nice and it's a shame they didn't have em in the US longer than 3 model years.
@@AlexSanchez-tr5fu I can see that the shape of them sort of looks like that when stock but with some beefy wheels and tires and some lowering they look pretty mean.
@@scraplifegarage this is a gto trans... u compared the shifter to a stock shifter, which relocates the shifter handle back 3-4" that's why you thought the trans is different. The factory shifter sits on a plate and has 2 shifter ball pivot points
I didnt do the stupid brakes, the stupid badges or anything. That car was badass and clean as a pin when i had it. i sold it to a guy in VA and he sold it to a auction site. i put a trans in it, clutch, heads cam, harrop cover with hendrix brace, all kinds of stuff. please PM me i absolutely loved that car
Love GTO's...my first and only was a '67. But, why do people treat these things like that...so destructive. Who ever had it didn't deserve it. WTH. I hope you or someone can get her back to where she belongs!
Sounds great. Can’t beat the sound of a Cammed V8
I would never stand under car on that lil forklift. Hydraulic line bust and you are squished like a bug
Ive seen them tip over. That was incredibly dumb to stand under one.
Congratulations can't believe you used a fork lift lol subscribed

This video really makes you all appear to know very little about gtos
It's definitely a GTO trans with a rip shift lol

That may be accurate. It may have been more well received if there was more of a resemblance.
I for one am glad it is the way it is. I get to have a holden Monaro here in the US lucky me!
True they could’ve done what they use to by rebadging the Camaro. The company trans am depot did it and they look good.

As an Australian I have to say it hurts seeing these Cars being taken apart like this!
Damn that a solid build
Damn I want one so bad. I wish I saw this sooner and any chance you have a 2006 GTO laying around
So you got a Australian Holden Monaro coupe
cant believe you had that gto blue interior sitting like that

It’s not an original tail shaft
Suck out dot 3 with a Turkey baster from clutch reservoir clean replace a few times after driving the 1 time per month

Thats just aftermarket short shifter
It's just lacking the GTO
offset shifter rail
these cars are still selling for crazy prices down under, 90K up 😮
I have a 06 as well but the 06 model doesn’t have an ls1
Yup 2004 had ls1 05-06 was ls2.
That's t56 from an f-body. .. The one's in the Go's ate the same as the cadillac CTSV8..
Was definitely interesting to see

What company in VA that's like carvana?
Ahead of it’s time.. 400hp in 06’ 😤😤
The z06 had 405 in 02…

I have a 2004 GTO and looking for a one piece drive shaft
Sounds alot like my car
I love auctions I just got a modded 6.0 for 5k

That’s one bad ass gto
I almost bought this from the original seller for 4k it was cobbled together and beat...
Accurate description of how we got it!
Don't recognize tyler from the few newer episodes I saw. Did he get fired for wearing capris?
Nope he moved on to start his own business!
Did you check the oil level and see if it looks like oil did you check the antifreeze what's up
First thing we do once we unload em. We always check. Just didn't make it into the video.
That’s an Australian build car, we called them a Holden Monaro, and exported them to America.

@@midnight347 all about the sales... total only 40k sold
@@AlexSanchez-tr5fu yea I guess people just didn't realize how cool of a car it was. They even had very nice interior for a mid 2000s gm.
@@midnight347 i remember people back in the day saying they were beefed up Grand Ams/cavalier lol

I need a rear passenger side quarter panel for a 2004 gto
Give Mars Auto a call, they are located in eastern Ohio.
Thats a gro trans thats just a different shifter
I live in California. It sucks to be a gear head and live in California.
How could I get the steering column with key
you will need the ECU also. these ECUs are impossible to reprogram. and are connected to key.
That can’t be a 06. If it has a 5.7. The 06 only came in 6.0
04 is the only year for the ls1. 05 and 6 both had the ls2
I was going to buy this car from Facebook a year or two ago .
Have pics and paper work what done to the car
F-body and GTO trans are same, same size too
The tail housings are significantly different
@@scraplifegarage this is a gto trans... u compared the shifter to a stock shifter, which relocates the shifter handle back 3-4" that's why you thought the trans is different.
The factory shifter sits on a plate and has 2 shifter ball pivot points
That thing is worthless at this point.
This is my old car Please message me for info on it. i did 90% of the work to it i have 100% of info and know everything done to it
