3montes 3 Posted October 3, 2018 Hello Monte Carlo fans! Been a Monte Carlo fan since I was a small kid. My dad had several of the first gens before I could even drive. He ended up giving me a freshly painted 1970 Monte as a 16th bday gift. That car got totaled. Now I have a 1970, number matching big block car. A 1971 completely original big block car. Got it from the original owners son. It had been sitting in his garage since 2008. Even have the original fender skirts! And a 1972 non original small block car that was a daily driver for awhile.

MCfan 262 Posted October 3, 2018 Welcome to the club and forums, Pete! That's a fine stable full of first gen Montes! There may be a few other lucky members who own a drive-able representative of all three years of the first generation, but I'd say it's pretty unusual - congratulations! I'm sure each of yours has a unique "personality" - wonder if it is ever difficult to decide which one to drive next? Enjoy the club and don't be bashful on the forums.

But I don't consider it in the same class as the 1st gens. But my father is the second owner of this 1973 Monte that I am trying really hard to get from him! Worth a name change for sure!

I didn't plan on having all 3 years. It just happened....and that is the story my wife hears. Looks like you have a car I would love to have...that 4 speed. I passed on one a few years ago and regret it. As of now I am putting miles on my newest acquisition. the 1971. My dad went with me to Colorado to get it about a month ago. When he saw it, his first response was "Wow, this is one of those 'Barn Finds' you hear about." And it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
