Now that is interesting, like it was stamped to punch it out but never worked.

welcome to the FGMCC. Nice ride , love the rims.

Buckets, 4 speed and no console, you don't see that in Monte's very often.

This one has moved around and had a few new owners lately. Up for sale again at Mecum in Indy. https://www.mecum.com/lots/1112911/1971-chevrolet-monte-carlo-coupe/?aa_id=559922-0&utm_campaign=SC24&utm_medium=email&_hsmi=299475989&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--v7bcWeiAHHD9hPkAnzVLTvSKGYDLT2X_PygW4ZKXjkONeyUAu7ToxWEXNOPvDbqDm9cYn9Rt3WFiqCo-UfsbcydiyOw&utm_content=299475989&utm_source=hs_email

This one has some nice options

I have replaced 4/5 sets over the years and have only used the ones from The Parts Place as they are made for our Monte's. The fit and finish is great.

What a bummer

Welcome to the FGMCC.

Welcome Mike, nice to see your saving another one.

Congrats Aaron!!! Beautiful Monte

Welcome Kevin

I am no expert, but I believe only the 70 model year has the v notch. 71 lowers had the bigger cut out, the same as the top on the 71 SS. I have two 71 that have never been restored nor painted, one with 29,000 original miles. They both have the bigger cut out on the bottom trim piece.

Thanks for sharing that Bruce, brings back some memories of my early days as a member of the FGMCC.

Welcome Jim, as you can see, this is a great group.
