    71 decals

    Aaron, Do you know the correct location for the “Keep your GM Car all GM” decal for a 70 SS? I’ve seen some in the same location as your 71 SS and I’ve seen others closer to the front of the air cleaner. Thanks, Sammy
  2. Nice! I like like the station wagon in the background of the first picture.
  3. I had a customer a few years ago that brought his new Silverado back to the dealership complaining about a rattle. Turned out to be his flashlight in the console. He was a little embarrassed. I was just glad it was an easy fix!
  4. The truck brings back memories. My dad bought a New 67 C10 about that color when I was 6 years old. That was back in the day when it was common to ride in the bed of a pickup. My brother, sister and I would ride in the back of the truck with our three dogs. Dad kept it about 15 years and I drove it when I got my license. I loved that truck.
  5. It was probably June of 1978 when I bought my 71. It was my first car and I had just finished my sophomore year of high school. I still have it.
  6. Great cruising weather here in NC this weekend! You guys have a safe one.
  7. I got mine a few weeks ago. Looking forward to decorating the tree!🎄
  8. What a beautiful car! As Thomas said, they're only original once. Glad to see this car bring top dollar $$!
  9. Sounds nice! I really like the original look of the Dakota instruments!
  10. Welcome! Beautiful Monte
  11. Finally had the correct exhaust tips put on. I honestly don’t know why I waited so long.
  12. Can anyone tell me what vacuum lines would go in the circled areas? 1970 SS 454. Thanks in advance!
  13. Welcome! Enjoyed your story! When I was a kid, my Dad kept the air cleaner lid flipped on our family car. It was a 72 Buick Estate Wagon with a 455. It was heavy and I’m sure slow off the line, but it sounded so good. Naturally when I bought my first car in 1978 (a 71 Monte Carlo) the first thing I did was flip the lid!
  14. Where do you find the VIN on the transmission?
  15. Welcome Doug! Good to see another N.C. member. Beautiful Monte by the way. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
  16. Jared, I’m a little late to the party as I haven’t been on this website in quite some time until recently. I really enjoyed going through this and seeing your build. What a beautiful Monte! Thanks for sharing! Sammy
  17. Welcome! What a great looking car to start with. Brings back memories for me. My first car was a black 71 Monte Carlo. I still have her, but painted her blue about 30 years ago. Looking forward to seeing your progress!
