MC1of80 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Hi! Welcome! I have been watching that Monte on craigslist. The former owner didn't post any pics of the engine or interior. Definitely needs some attention to the sail panels and filler panels at least. Good luck with her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 Thanks for the welcome everyone! Rob, yes I will join as a full member. Just have to get a check out to you. Will do so in the next week or so Eastern Meet is on the calendar, and sounds like a great reason for a long drive in a 72 Monte Carlo! And the best update is the attached photo. My 72 is now in my man cave with my other toys. The left exhaust pipe got pulled apart, and header slightly bent, coming off the trailer. But easily fixable and one of many items on the list of things to do. Ive never bought a classic car with this much of a head start before. It's really in amazing condition (except for the vinyl top and some associated rust) and I can't believe nobody snapped it up. This is an EASY fixer upper to have something amazing. I feel very very fortunate. More soon!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I see a big hanger with a glider,a junior corvette (?) and table and chairs but I don’t see the fridge. Lol. Nice and spacious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice and spacious. - Cozy MK IV currently with the engine off for an IRAN due to corrosion in the cylinders - 1978 Triumph Spitfire - table and chairs, correct. As well as a bench seat from a passenger van that someone was throwing out - the fridge was under a work bench to the left (out of frame) until I was advised that a fridge full of adult beverages was I'll advised in an FAA inspected hangar - yes, plenty of room. But I will be giving it up shortly in favor of a 24x50, 3-bay garage currently under construction in my back yard 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I wasn’t even close. Good call with the hidden fridge. Lol. I’d rather have the garage on the home front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71MonteCarloMD Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 to the Monte Madness and nice huge man cave! Have fun with your Monte! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted March 7, 2022 Author Share Posted March 7, 2022 FINALLY getting some time to dig into my first Monte Carlo here. First things first - brake ... it had none. I've been replacing the braking system piece by piece and am now realizing everything except the lines needs to be replace. While getting through the process I finally took a moment grab a shot of the trim tag. I haven't brushed on my decoding skills yet but plan to do so shortly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
