If you email the VIN # to these guys they can look it up and tell you if the car is in their database. NOTE : The have all the Oshawa 🇨🇦 built cars but as well they have any American 🇺🇸 built cars that were originally sold at a Canadian dealership.

These are the guys to contact to get a vehicle package for any Canadian built cars. www.vintagevehicleservices.com

I'm not sure if any Monte Carlos came from factory with any stickers on the top of the air cleaners. Also it would have been marketed as, and is technically a LS3 - 400 Turbo Jet. The 402 moniker is only a nickname given to the engine referring to it's actual 402.2 CI displacement. So the correct sticker (if any) would have been "400 Turbo Jet" There is full documentation on the site where it's being auctioned (at the end of the craigslist ad) https://www.clasiq.com/auction/1970-chevrolet-monte-carlo/ and it appears to be a genuine factory '70 400 - 4 speed

I believe that it could also be the same as the '72 Custom "NK2" option code wheel if it is a non-tilt column as seen on the bottom of this page - FGMC '72 Custom The 4 spoke may have been installed if it was a tilt column similar to the '72

I don't want to hijak Jimmy's thread but I think that the idea is that he is going to buy a NEW trans (350th) from Summit/Jegs to go with a new crate engine (GM 350 / 330hp) and he is looking to see what other people would recomend or have had good results with as far as quality and proformance.

I still remeber the argument i had with the guy at the local Chevy dealership when i went to get a cap, rotor, plugs and wires for a tuneup. "They NEVER put a 402 in a Monte" and he insisted that my motor wasn't original. I employ the nod a walk method too ... it's usually a waste of time trying to correct them as they don't usually want to change thier minds.

Does anyone have a pic of an original hood insulation clip on their car? I beleive they were square. I also wanted to know how big they are 1.5" x 1.5" or 2"x2" ? Thanks Marcello

The car either had to be built in Canada (Oshawa, Ontario Plant) or sold originally at a Canadian dealership (regardless of where it was built) Basically if your car was processed by GM Canada then they will have record for it.

I’m not sure totally (my memory is a bit choppy) but this is how it goes. A member here swore that a friend of his has two of them and that they were factory LS6's. Our basic response as a group was "Show us the MONEY (build sheet) to prove it" Leo Konik was given a contact number and spoke with the person on behalf of the club and if I remember they were either GM executive cars that were special ordered or some type of COPO cars again special ordered. The person didn't want/like a lot of attention and this is as far as it went. I'm not sure if Leo ever saw the build sheets though? Now this is what I remember ... it could be wrong ... I was thinking about this the other day and wrote for you what I generally remember. The best person to answer this would be Leo though. MarchieB

Ok i have a question for the '72 Custom owners (of which i am one) Which of the two centre caps on these covers do you have? If you could also include if you know if they are original to your car. Thanks #1 Flat or #2 with raised rim I have the flat #1's (pics are of mine) i believe they are original to the car as i am the 3rd owner and the 2nd owner had the car from 1975 - 2003. They were in his garage but couldn't remember where they had come from, and he had rally's on the car when i bought it.

Here is where I bought my books. gregsonline.com MCO sells the set for $77 and it includes a new owners manual and plastic case. musclecarsonly Just as a note the elctrical wiring diagrans are included in one of the books, can't remember which one exactly so you don't need to buy them seperatley.

Yes Hooter Quote: information for Canadian produced or Canadian sold GM vehicles, regardless of production location Click on the link i provided above. Aaron i think the Phone # for the Canadian link that you posted is old and not correct any longer

Kevin, sorry to here that you are stepping down. I have only been here for a year or two and the club has made significant progress in that thme. I can only imagine what the club was like in the begining with a handful of members. You have done an excellent job. I know for one that i would never have purchased my Monte last year if it wasn't for the club and having somewhere to attain information and a helping hand I know that Pete, if he chooses, will make a great Pres. One comment; now as far as voting ... we have to make sure we don't get caught up in the whole chad's and dimples episode of a few years back. My I suggest the pinecone/birch bark method (my fellow canucks may understand this one already) And one question; Kevin what's the clubs pension plan like?

GM Canada Vintage Vehicle Service Just remember your car had to have been originally sold in Canada. Or built at the Oshawa plant (1 for plant code in VIN)
