Don't you have bedroom space that recently opened up ?

Don't know, one of the reasons I post'm when I run across them. In one of the other threads I started it was a members car. Thats how I spend my mornings with coffee, looking at sales/auctions/shows and drag Racing 🤣

Welcome to another green Monte to the madness. Is that a black top ? What color interior ? My top is dark green so sometimes looks black in pictures. And no your never done working on them 🤣

Not that I'm interested, but pictures didn't load for me, just a blue ?

Pretty cool, before my time, thanks for sharing

Ran across this first gen and thought I'd share

I don't have the knowledge or attention to detail on Montes to pick things apart, especially in the auto body thread. Most of the work I see posted blows me away . As Dennis said, we are our own worst critics. Some of us spend hours on stuff nobody will ever see and put other stuff lower on the priority list because its just not that important at the moment. From all the work you've done I'm pretty sure you'll be happier and doubt you'll make it worse.

Ive been running Bridgestones on my trucks (suburban/Yukon) for years. Very pleased

just don't understand the term clone on that one. just because you put some SS badging on it. Maybe Glen's gonna tell me I need a hug now 🤣

Well maybe its just me, but the varying use of the word clone or tribute. I don't know who decided this was a clone https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/chevrolet/monte-carlo/2640335.html

Theres a few photos on the resources page of some verts https://www.firstgenmc.com/forums/index.php?/resources/convertibles/

When I first saw Dennis's post I was like "did he not get a trophy at some show because he was in the wrong class ?🤣 But I digress. So just my .02 Restored is just that, back to original, a step up from that would be concours. And yes I know now you can get aftermarket hoses/belts/etc with all the proper date codes an numbers. RestoMods ive always just lumped in to with LS motors, upgraded suspensions and so on. Something you could take too your local dealer to work on. Ive never shown a car in a class specific show, ive just pulled in, parked, and had fun. Ive always done what I wanted to my rides, and always enjoyed what paths others have taken with theirs, well maybe 98% percent of the time.

WOW Beautiful !!!!!

I learn/retain more by actually doing, but as said not always easy on the supervisor 🤣

I would think since it has a FGMCC radiator cover plate someone here knows the car. At least the ad has lots of pictures. Speaking of mods, I don't know what the cylinder next to the rad is, my buddy has something that looks similar for oil pressure on his race car. The added 3 gauge pack under the dash is something to check, and the dash is cracked. Obviously eyes on is a must, and what your willing to spend on this Monte. Its also listed on hemming, as Glen said been for sale for a minute or two

Thats why I added the ? No "paperwork" in the listing, Doubt it would be in the build sheet, dealer invoice ? But how do you verify that? Would be interesting to see tho

Says dealer conversion ? https://www.mecum.com/lots/FL0123-532668/1972-chevrolet-monte-carlo-convertible-conversion/

Not a bad price if as nice as advertised. Hagerty recommended I insure mine for 58K

Yea there were 6 jack stands under there 🙃 Its like $40 per year, not to bad

I'm pretty sure that's where all the "in stock" comments started 🤣

Those are old school ENKEI 's. My buddy had them "in stock" when I went with drag radials

Just having some fun, waiting on my buddy to go help him with his Camaro. The first is mine, the others I took a Carlyle, feel free to post your own

Well my original intent of the post was to show how some of us work in tight spaces, I was hoping others would play along, oh well. My last shot is obviously the end of the day (notice the ML) 🤣 and the work area is somewhat organized 🤣

Ralph, people have replied to your original post

Welcome to the madness! I've never seen an Amazon truck with a lift gate lol. You've found a site with very knowledgable people always willing to help, and spend your money lol The only good thing about winter is now you have time for all the little things you want to do before its time to cruise
