Other " Z" Chevrolets over the years include the Z24, Z26, and Z28. Only two trim levels were available for this car, the LS and the Z34. This car, like all 1998 W-Bodies, has a four-speed automatic. The last year for a production Monte Carlo with three pedals was all the way back in 1979, when both three-on-the-tree and four-on-the-floor versions were available. Other big Chevy news for 1998 was the demise of the Geo brand and the Prizm, Metro, and Tracker becoming Chevrolets. At least the torque went up slightly, to 225 lb-ft. The 1995-1997 Monte Carlo Z34s had a screaming 3.4-liter DOHC V6 rated at 215 horsepower and 220 pound-feet, but the 1998-1999 models received the good old 3.8-liter pushrod Buick V6 and its 200 horses. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those Z34s, found in a Denver-area self-service yard last month. The new Lumina Carlo lacked the rear-wheel-drive and fender bulges of its predecessors, but the good news was that the Lumina's high-performance Z34 trim level moved over to this car. When the Chevrolet Lumina got a refresh for 1995, GM decided to revive the Monte Carlo name on the coupe version. The original Chevrolet Monte Carlo stayed in production for the 1970 through 1988 model years, with each of that period's four generations of Montes featuring two doors, rear-wheel-drive, and rakish-looking fender bulges.
