keith72monte Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Hello. I Just picked up the ss car I had looked at. I mention the rocker having been scrapped and I rechecked the frame. Frame is mint condition. I had the seller drive around for 5 miles to make sure it drove straight and It did. I didn't see a vin on the transmission.. but it drives smooth. The power is exciting. everything works minus the air shocks that he removed and he put the first ones in the trunk. I think a oem looking hei distributor will be the only thing i do to it. Many thanks for the input i needed to feel comfortable spending 36k for the car. What code on the cowl tag tells me what color the top . If it should be white or another color. I haven't seen one with a white top so far. Does it seem to be the correct forest green , its seems to change with the lighting. Thanks 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keith72monte Posted April 25, 2023 Author Share Posted April 25, 2023 Thanks for the info to feel sure this was a real SS. I'm taking it to ocean city maryland next month. I'm going to love showing it off. This is the top car i.ve been waiting on that now i car afford.. I do fit better with the electric bench then my other bench seats. the tilt wheel is super nice to get in. The electric windows and locks are iceing on the cake lol fiber turn signals work. t 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 The 48 A code is for Forest Green with white vinyl top. Code 780 is Green Prima Cloth Bench Seat The 06B code indicates it was built in the second week of June 1970. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith72monte Posted April 25, 2023 Author Share Posted April 25, 2023 I don't plan on selling it. Pretty much my ultimate car. Price was right and local to inspect. Right time in my life to be able to afford an young enough to enjoy. lol 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keith72monte Posted April 25, 2023 Author Share Posted April 25, 2023 so does this car qualify to be put on the SS list? is that a vote in without documents? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Congrats Keith!!! She looks sweet!!! I would think if you have no build sheet, get the numbers off the 454 engine, 400 tranny and rear. They should match a part of your vin and if they do i am sure you will be able to put her in the registry!! Hopefully i am correct???

keith72monte Posted April 26, 2023 Author Share Posted April 26, 2023 the only numbers i was mainly concerned about was the engine. 5 out of 7 I can read at oil filter boss and date and crn code on front pad. i didnt see vin on trans and i will get numbers off rear this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mon-tss Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Matching numbers on motor makes the list. Send the VIN and it will get added. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 The VIN is on the driver's side of the trans. The tag on the passenger side will indicate what engine it was mated to. Even if all the black printing is missing from the tag there will still be the stamp on the lower left. So, if the VIN matches the driver's side of the trans and the tag on the passenger side is stamped 70-CR then that also verifies it is an SS. https://www.firstgenmc.com/forums/index.php?/resources/decodingth400/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

420ponies Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Keith, Congrats on the "new" ride! If you'd like, you can bring it to Carlisle and I'll ride in it because mine is still stuck in the garage with engine, trans. out of it ( did you notice that I didn't say the rear axle?). I've never ridden in a green Monte Carlo. It could change everything!! Again glad to see you joined our group and enjoy your new ride.
