Rare SS

I was able to get a ride to the shop today and take a few pics of the $4.99 chrome edging I found at Bianca Amour's discount store. Btw, you can usually find the same type in a lot of stores for up to $20. It was super easy to install and looks great! Now I just have to buy some headrest escutcheons, paint the seatbacks & buy those little chrome bullets to finish off the process! Jeff 1970 SS454

Thank you for all the wisdom shared here! I now know what that part was, and never thought to look on my buildsheet. I am going to look for this on my current 70 SS and see if I can find it! Jeff 1970 SS454 Black

I will take a pic when I get to the shop, but unfortunately have been re-cuperating at home for about a month.🙄 Can't wait to see my car again!

I owned a 38,000 mile 1970 SS Monte from Texas. When I removed the rad, this tag fell off of the bottom! I'm so glad I heard the sound when it hit the floor! Otherwise it would have been swept up with all the other debris! WHAT IS THIS PIECE? This is my 3rd SS and have never seen this before. Jeff 1970 SS Black

At the risk of soindong cheap, I don't mind saying, Before spending all that (US to Cdn) money I thought I would try the $4.99 fix from the Bianca Liquidation Center here in the city. It fit like a charm and although it's not Factory I find it's a great fix for now! They also sell at Canadian Tire for $19.99 but is a little too small to fit. Jeff 1970 SS Black

I've got to say I have really enjoyed this entire post! Thank you for taking the time to post!! I too have done a lot of work to my 70 SS, but not the magnitude of what you've gone thru! One thing I wish was when I re-did and removed/ replaced the dash, I had the Windshield OUT of the car! Now THAT would have made my life soooo much easier and would not still have such a sore neck! Awesome post, sir!! keep em coming!

Here's a pic of a Canadian SS tag from a car that I completely stripped, picked clean and buried almost 20 yrs ago! Z20!! Jeff 1970 "Z20" Black

That's such a great story, Larry! I love history; espercially car history! The car definitely belongs to the right person! Fellow Canadian. Jeff SS454 Black

Canuck, THANK YOU for posting this! So far this is THE MOST comprehensive information on our beloved SS's (Ess-Ess'z) haha Jeff 1970 Ess Ess

WOW! I had no idea any of these cars actually existed! Much like the GM discussed "Convertible", the LS6 was also a no show once the Monte was produced. Thanks for ALL this detailed and insightful information on a such a rare car! I wonder if some "Multi Millionaire" was to make an offer, how much this car could go fo Jeff ("just" an LS5 Monte SS)

Great topic guys! I am looking into replacing my carpeting and always wanted to use Dyna Mat (or other) underneath! Thanks for all the advice! Jeff 1970 SS454 Black

I am going to look for that pic I have of the old paint scheme. I believe it's the same car (a 1970), as the open panels, etc. seem to be exact. *I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken!😜

What would you guys pay for this? It was created at General Motors back in the day. It used to be different colours; I remember seeing the original video from some old website many years ago, but it has now been repainted the colours you now see it. How I would love to have this in my collection!I wonder how much this would cost? How much would you guys pay for this? Jeff 1970 SS454 Black

Oh, to have a time machine! Thanks for posting! Jeff 1970 SS454 Black

Man! Great start to a beautiful car! Be careful if you remove the gas tank you may have an original build sheet in much better condition between that and the floorboards! I had a 38,000 mile Texas SS and the almost white build sheet was still stuck between! Jeff 1970 SS Black

Being the owner of a black car myself, and the proud owner of a new paintjob, mine was wetsanded. YOU CAN'T BEAT IT! I completely agree you did the proper thing! You should be proud, this car looks like a deep mirror! Just awesome!👍😎 Jeff 1970 SS454 BLACK

Passenger mirror a much needed option; especially when you get out of your newer vehicle and into the Monte to go for a drive and go to make a lane change "WHOA".... where's my other mirror? Yikes! What's a shoulder check? Jeff 1970 SS454 Black

I'd also be down for 2 of these; mine is chewed on the edges and I wouldn't mind a spare! Jeff 1970 SS454 Black

Thanks for all the great advice, guys! Canuck...(fellow Canadian!) I will definitely give you a call on this! Jeff

I'm going to splurge on buying a new set of Inner Fenderwells, but... Does anyone have experience with which brand actually fits? I have read so many negative reviews online with re-drilling & elongating holes that I am now afraid to make a move because they are so expensive, especially now with the crazy shipping charges to Canada. Help greatly appreciated! Jeff 1970 SS454 Black
