Rather ambitious pricing, I would say. It would make for a great parts car if you was doing a restoration.

Thanks Aaron, I was looking g at it on the phone and didn't blow up the picture to see that. Oops, my bad. rob

Hey All, I am trying to figure some stuff out pertaining to the driveshaft and yoke for this 454/400 swap from a 350/350. Am I going to be able to use the stock driveshaft and just swap the yoke on it to fit the 400 or am I going to need to modify and shorten it because the 400 mounts further back? Also if I can use the old driveshaft where can I find a yoke that will fit? Thanks for all the help so far on this thing, you guys are awesome.

That’s not cruise control. That’s the rare electro tip wiper control.

I thought a few pics looked familiar

Thank all for the suggestions. Surgery has put me behind on this so nothing to report back yet. Will let you know when I get some "feel better" time to try the suggestions.

Never stop dreaming, but that car may be a nightmare. Steering column must have beenreplaced judging by the cruise control on the turn signal rob

They are asking $39900

“Ain’t nuthin’ wrong with the radio!” Somebody’s dreaming with that reserve … JMO

In a few days we will be leaving the 50's in our countdown and entering uncharted territory, for this year, because we are now at 53 days and a wake-up until our first members begin arriving in Carlisle to begin our Eastern Meet. rob

My 70 "Big Red" has the seat belt pockets on the console.

Ran across this today, another "inquire for price" Lots of pictures, don't understand just laying the gauge on the floor in front of the console https://www.highoctaneclassics.com/vehicles/636/1972-chevrolet-monte-carlo

A lot of places sell the console pockets separately from the chrome piece. All the factory had the chrome. My 72 does not have the console pockets factory.

KYB has been around for just over 100 years, so they must be doing something right. They make a good shock. Had them on my 78 3/4 ton Chevy truck and they lasted many years. The consensus is the Bilsteins are better. But they’re twice as much money, and depending on your budget, and with the other modifications you are doing, the $$ rack up quickly, so I get where you’re coming from.

Willie, I went through my build sheet for my 71, and as Glen said, there’s nothing that addresses the s/b holders for the console.i just assumed that at least on the 71s, they all had them. My first 71 that I bought in 74 had them. As for the chrome trim, I’m sure it was necessary to keep the mounting screws from pulling through the somewhat soft material the cups were made of over time.

No worries, Willie. I wonder if they were just automatically installed when the car was optioned with the console.

Thanks Glen i checked mine and i didn't see anything either. So i am guessing they were in some kind of package also. We now know the rears are most likely dealer or after market items. But i was just wondering about the front console ones??

Willie, I see nothing obvious on the ‘70s Build Sheet that would lead me to believe it appeared as a “code”. I’d ASSUME that if it did appear it might be logical to be located near the seatbelt boxes (#87 and #88). For what it’s worth, there ARE seven boxes missing on the BS, so I guess there’s always the possibility it may have populated one of those. The picture I have for the ‘71 is garbage… so blurry it resembles hieroglyphics. I’ll have to check that another time and get back to you.

Welcome to the group nice Monte.

Glen do me a solid and check your build sheet for either of the cars and see if those cups have a special code for them, as i cant find them in the codes for the Chevelle. Tkx

Yes Glen, those are the ones i seen, minus the chrome strip on all the consoles. But what Lyle posted looks like what i seen in the pic from that Gentleman at Carlisle on the bottom of the back seat. Tkx for the pics, cars look great!!!

Its in the safe 🤣 Registration and Ins will have to do I'll pull the plates of just so there will always be some questions 🤣

Nope, all my Monte pic's are mine . Its easier to keep the story straight if your the only one telling it 🤣

But, did Glen provide you with a photo shopped photo? rob
