smokinquack Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I assume most people on here know this but if not, the year of your Monte is in Roman numerals on the top of the helmut. If you are old like me, you need your bifocals to see it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC1of80 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 The numerals are there for 70s and 71s only not 72s. Also the trunk lock Helmut on 71s have roman numerals but again not the 72s 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbolt Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I have seen a members car with 1972 on the trunk emblem. Its a custom if that makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC1of80 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Check the numerals. I bet dollars to doughnuts it says 1971. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbolt Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I texted the member and he sent a pic.... definitely Roman numerals for 1971. He said his car has been repainted but they taped off the trunk emblem leading him to believe it was a leftover emblem. Im inclined to agree. Pretty interesting, yeah?
