72jrfan88 Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 That's sounds about right. I didn't know the 4 spoke wheel could be ordered on any monte. I thought that was also custom specific Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostnFound Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 It is in the 71 Monte sales brochure on page 10 and 11 item 7... "7. Sport steering wheel. Four-spoke styling for that sports car feel." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72jrfan88 Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 I just looked at the 72 brochure and the sport steering wheel came on custom model if you ordered comfort tilt.. according to the manual the custom was mainly set apart by the wire wheels (but you could get ralleyes if you wanted)and convienance lighting..out of all the boxes to check options nothing about lighting is mentioned unless you ordered a custom apparently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CKZ03 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Does anyone in the Club have a 72 Canadian Built Custom with the Z03 on the cowl tag? My Canadian Built 71 SS has the Z20 code on the cowl tag. Ask and you shall receive, cowl tag and build sheet (Canadian "broadcast sheet"?) are from 2 different cars so don't kill yourself trying to decifer if one jives with the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72jrfan88 Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Those are great pics..I always thought it was weird how only the canadian customs had z03 on the cowl tag. My custom was built in van nuys ca and cowl tag does not have it. Is that for all U.S customs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostnFound Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Yes, I'm sure that's the case. The SS cars are like that too. Unless someone already has the info and would like to post it, I can probably find out with a phone call how many Z03 72 Montes were Canadian built.

KLASSIK1 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 only canadian built have the coded cowl tags, i have a 1969 SS chevelle that has every option on the cowl tag , big block bucket seat 4 speed SS , They almost ran out of room on the tag , the one exception being Kansas built us cars had cowl tag id for the ss monte chevelle and malibu models i know for sure Leo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I have heard from someone who purchased their 72 Custom 454 new from the dealer that they were told that they could only get the 454 Custom in black or green. Seems odd that Chevrolet would limit the colour choices. Any thoughts on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72jrfan88 Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 I also heard montes in 72 had th o be special ordered f you wanted a triple black custom. Ive seen 454 customs on ebay in tan /saddle, but it could have been repainted. My custom is the 350 and factory color is pewter silver but I think any color could be ordered. Maybe someone else can chime in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toppless72 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 My '72 Custom was ordered in Spring Green, code 36. Not the color I would have picked if I was ordering it new but.... It can be another color someday. It's a 350 Car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
