-
That’s why during the peak of the hp wars, the manufacturers were pretty conservative on the hp numbers to help a little on the insurance premiums. -
Love the "By the numbers" . Had to explain to my wife the emissions statement. Insurance companies also killed HP and performance for the auto industries
-

Rob,Rob,Rob, you didn't mention who you were? " Well, I'm Rob Peter's and the vehicle you're standing by has been in numerous movies in this city" He would have wanted an autograph😁😁 Use the clout when you can.

What did you do to your Monte Carlo today?
Scott S. replied to Canuck's topic in General 70-72 Monte Carlo Forum
I've seen alcohol fueled Montes before.... But ,isn't all that sugar in the rum hard on the spark plugs ??? -
We got together at someone's garage, pulled out the tools...... And beers, and usually had the problem solved around 2 a.m. Or when that "somebody's" wife kicked us all out.. LOL

To add to what Joe said, in 1972 only 1268 Monte’s had the 454 engine. Out of the 1268 nobody knows how many of them had the Custom package (equivalent to the 70-71 SS package, plus a few other things ). So it’s a pretty rare car. Technically the rarest automatic Monte built. The lower numbers were part of the emission changes that were coming. But thankfully there are some in the group that have them. -
Monte is beautiful also the Volvo is cool too. I was parked with one at a cruise in last week, this is us leaving the show. Car belongs to another members father in law he has 2 of them.
-
Got it! thank you Joe Knowledge is king!!!
-
Yes, for the 70-71 years, the only way to get a 454 was if the car was a 'SS454'. As we know, there was no SS for 1972, only the 'Custom' model, though that could be had with any available engine/trans combination, including 454. -
Thank you Joe, so that is only for 72 First Gen model year.
-
Steve, A 72 Monte that came from the factory with a 454 engine. The 'W' is part of the VIN, as the engine designation code.
-
Question. i'm not familiar with "W CODE" could someone educate me on this. I promise i'll learn it and be proficient in First Gen Monte Carlo !!!!!!
