ConradNZ Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Recently bought this 1971 Monte Carlo, with the 402 motor. It's been in the same family for about 47 years and garage store, same mechanic had been servicing her. All original. Only thing she needs is a door strap for the passenger side. Any advice welcome on this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Peters Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Welcome aboard the FGNCC club website. Beautiful Monte you have there. Keep the pictures coming. There are a lot of knowledgeable people so feel free to ask any questions you may have. Keep the pictures coming because we love pictures. Just a few questions I have for you like, do you know any history on the car, was it originally sold in New Zealand, if not how did it end up there??, rob 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering that too, think they are supposed to be car color and hub caps were too I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConradNZ Posted April 24, 2021 Author Share Posted April 24, 2021 Thanks for the welcome. The car was imported in New Zealand by legendary Kiwi racer Kenny Smith in 72 who should it on to the family I bought it from. The rims are coloured that way with the chrome hubcaps. The spare is exactly the same. Also have the original owners manual and some bits and bobs spares. The only thing we need is a blue for strap for the passenger door, which the owner took out and was lost by the guy who was supposed to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbolt Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 That looks like Mulsanne blue, same as mine. With the bright white painted top it is stunning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
