Well if you have been following or have seen my posts on the "Restorer's" Section then this has been just shy of a 2 year job for me. With the finishing touches done by myself and great help from Vaughn and Keith the Monte is DONE.......!!!

Darren, gorgeous car! One question, do they reproduce the rear trim that's on the 71 ss cars. I'm talking about the curved upper trim pieces that tie into the taillights and connect to the upper and lower straight trim. Jeff

Hey Jeff, Welcome to the site and the club...... Those parts they refer to them as Upper and Lower Hockey Sticks. Tamraz repops the Lower Sticks but as far as I am aware no one is repopping the Upper Hockey Sticks yet.

It looks fantastic Darren. i hope to see it in person some day.

 

Thanks Aaron, I think you will like it when you see it. Especially the Tail light Trim as I put on the NOS ones I had in GM Brown boxes, and that means RED/PINK crossbars....!!!!

Yeah, wow that certainly is a beauty!

 

It looks like you've gone to great extent to get it perfect and original. I would mention that the roof reveal moldings came from the factory painted in the recess a dark flat color that matched the top.

Thanks guys........... My 71ss started off life in 1971 as Code 49 A which meant Antique Green or more commonly referred to as Forest Green like in 1970. and the roof was White meaning A... instead of black.   in 1977 the previous owner that I bought it from had it painted 1971 Code 29 B...... which is Not Black... Code 29 was used by Buick and Chevrolet in 1971 but not in the Monte or Chevelle line, it was the same color but two different names ... Buick called it Command Blue and Chevrolet (Corvette) called it Midnight Blue. B was for the Black Vinyl Roof.  But for all intent purposes He appears triple Black but out in certain light you can see that Midnight Blue Hue..... It's actually really cool but would so much like to put it back to 49 A eventually when money is saved up.... but for now will enjoy the Blue....

Incidentally Oshawa produced only 9 forest green SS cars in 1971 according to the GM Docs and only 2 came with the White vinyl top and according to GM the other White top car was written off so it would be the only forest green white top canadian built 71ss left...... super cool...

This is a very nice car and Darren has done a good job.

 

I do have a question though. Darren how in the world do you get GM of Canada to tell you how many where made with different coloured tops or bench/bucket seats or written off. I have requested the same info but all I ever get are crickets, lolz
