70white402 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Does anyone know the nos part number for the Monte Carlo written script for the rear tail panel? Small ss emblem goes under it. I have the nos ss emblem,just looking for the top Monte Carlo trim. If I can’t find it Nos,who makes it aftermarket. Only ones I’ve found have the “by Chevrolet” under it. Thanks.

MC1of80 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Jeff, the Monte Carlo tailpanel script is separate from the "by Chevrolet" and the "SS". It is the same from 70-71. The by Chevrolet differs in the lettering and mounting stud position from 70 to 71. The SS tailpanel emblem bolts directly in place of the by Chevrolet emblem on the 71s. You would have to modify/drill new holes to put the SS on a 70. I believe the large Monte Carlo script is reproduced by trim parts. Try the parts place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough to find I heard all 70-71 montes came with this emblem, not just the ss models. By Chevrolet was under the script instead of the ss emblem. It’s obviously smaller than the sail panel script emblem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1970mcss Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I'll try to look it up in my parts catalog in the morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC1of80 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Dennis, that emblem with the "bowtie" under it is from a 78-80 Monte Carlo. The tailpanel Monte Carlo script for the 70-71 is larger than the sail panel ones. I have an NOS tailpanel emblem somewhere in my stash. It's allocated for the 402 4speed restoration though. Last summer I installed a repop on my 70 SS. I know they make them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
