Not so sure Larry, I always thought the line inspectors each had a color to designate the part had passed their inspection.

There’s a lot of LS6 SS chevelles out there that were never made. 

There has never been a more truthful statement made than that one !!!

I remember putting my first set of Hooker  headers on our Monte , that would have been 45 years ago.  Headers eversince , 

[And so it begins again]

Steve , you did a wonderful job !

That hood turned out great !! 

[Remote solenoid location - air con]

I'm glad to see that you have gotten your starter issues taken care of.  

Now it's time to enjoy that beautiful ride !!

[Trailer hitch.]

Very nice Ed . Looks like a factory setup. 

You should consider reproducing these, just might be a market there !!

 

[1971 Monte Carlo Pictures]

Beautiful ride ! 

You will definitely get a lot of attention in that car .

Just a heads up, be prepared for a conversation every time you fill up with gas , well as far as that goes, everytime you drive the car !!

[New to the forum]

I too thought the car looked familiar. 

Maybe from the Blue suede Cruise in 2010 ?

Welcome Michael, and congratulations on your purchase. There's nothing like owning a First Gen Monte !!

[Couple of rather nice rides at the show today]

Definitely a good looking C/10 !!

I recall seeing both vehicles,

When I see an SS with it's hood down , it makes me always question why .  Therefore I don't usually spend much time looking especially when I still have 5 miles of walking left to do. LoL 🤣

Thanks Scott,    Not driving it until Bowtie support gives me the green light.  They are pretty particular about their setup procedures.  

That's a very smart idea !!  

Impatience can be very expensive !!

Went to Run to the Sun car show, thought you guys might like a couple of Packards spotted there as well as another bad ride.

Hello Bruce, I believe it was mentioned before to avoid the original bumper-hitch.  Not so much if your load is light as much as protecting the rear of the car from a collision.  I have one more time off the frame and I plan on boxing in the frame (kits available from OPG) and tucking a custom receiver hitch behind the bumper.  My motorcycle days are done, planning on using the Monte as chase vehicle with repair trailer on group trips.

 

Now that's what I would call a fantastic head turning chase vehicle !

That will get as much attention as does the motorcycles  !!

Boxing in the frame is a smart idea as well.

[Happy St. Patrick's Day]

Happy St. Patrick's day to everyone, I hope you guys have a wonderful weekend !!

[Resto progress]

Very nice, definitely a very exciting time !!

Have fun and keep posting pictures please !!

[1972 monte for sale in florida]

One thing for certain,  If you ask this group about a Monte ...... We are going to be honest in our reply.  I don't think anyone here would intentionally try to hurt someone's feelings about their personal vehicle .  

I for one appreciate the honesty, if you don't want to know the truth, Don't ask for it !!

I have seen way too many times people misrepresent the vehicle they are attempting to sell .  A lot of times people are just flipping the vehicle and will say and do anything to make the sale . Not so long ago people actually put sawdust as well as loaf bread in a rear differential to quite it down long enough to make the sell.  

Should I ask about a vehicle that is for sale,  I for one would appreciate the honesty .  

I know people have different taste in their vehicles, however everything that was pointed out, is what I would want to know before I made such a purchase  .  A lot of people might not be able to afford to pay premium for a vehicle that  could stand to be refurbished.  Nice driver , I'm sure.
