tom71 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 49 years. My wife's uncle bought Monte in 1971. He wanted it to use for our 1972 wedding. Sadly he passed in 1973. Monte has been with us since as we celebrate 50 years of marriage in a few weeks. We will take Monte out for a spin to celebrate!

420ponies Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Had mine sine 2004. Bought it in Blossburg, PA. The ad read "1972 Monte Carlo, 318 cu.in.,Automatic transmission, $3,000 o.b.o.($3,500 to buy it..another story).I just had to go see a 318 mopar engine in it. Turned out to be a blueprint replacement '86 350cu.in. Had the original 2bbl on it. I bought it because of the interior, Black cloth buckets , tilt wheel, power windows and door locks, power driver's seat. Little did I know it was rusted under the rear seat, left side of trunk, rear tail panel. I was just going to paint it and add some slot mags to it, driver style. That went south quick,4 yrs after nut and bolt restore, on the road the way you see it in the picture.Been happy with ever since. 18yrs and has never been touched on it's paint or body work since. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbolt Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 21 years. Mine was a $400 car when I got it and worth every penny. Every part of the engine needed replacing except the block and the entire left side of the car from the drivers door back had significant collision damage. It has been a labor of love for sure. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
