I noticed you have the Custom Steering wheel. I don't see Custom badges up on "C" pillar (where the Monte Carlo emblem is on each side sail panel) . Do you know if it is a Custom? . It would have a 12 bolt rear axle , Sport mirror on driver's side, and wide belt moulding on top of doors. I'm looking to trade out my sport wheel for a Custom wheel since I'm going to "clone "my '72. Have most of the pieces except for the steering wheel. Here's a picture of the sport mirror. I have my original mirror(I see you don't have the center section on yours). Yes, Black was special order back in '72, that's why I'm wondering if it is a Custom. Power windows,(can't tell on the locks), Sport Dash. Just some things missing ,( Trim on doors and badges). Hi James. Thanks for the note, super interesting stuff. Check out this shot of my build sheet. Again, I am learning so much so fast...appears to me it is not a custom but was ordered with a few of the custom options (lighting package and steering wheel). -Bill 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Your build sheet is in pretty nice shape, did you find it or did it come with the car? I put mine in a frame so as to preserve it because it is in pretty good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, good call on framing it, mine looks good but it feels like just a slight breeze would turn it into dust. -Bill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found one build sheet under the rear seat that was mostly destroyed the other I found in the front seat when doing the interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
