1Bad454 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Hey guys I bought this and just realized that I haven't seen it on any Monte's. I have seen NOS pieces on eBay. Can you please elaborate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leghome Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Those were only on a 70 Monte and then not even all of them had those 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 As Larry said, 1970 only and was cancelled part way through the production year. No 1971 Montes had this trim. My 1970 does. Â 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtret Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 If you have two holes on the bottom of the headlight extension ( one being bigger) then it came with them. At least the extension did if it was replaced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Peters Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Just a little clarification. It was a 70 Monte item. Not all 70's had them. Aaron said it was cancelled part way though the production year. That may be true at some of the plants but not all. My car was made in the Baltimore Assembly Plant with a production date of late June and my car came with those trim pieces below the headlamps.  I can't speak for the other plants as to when they quit installing them. Some feel most of the assembly plants quit installing them toward the end of the production year and they ran out. Truth is, it has not been determined when each plant quit installing them. I have even heard people say their 71 came with them but since they were not the original owner there is not any way of knowing that for sure since most of these cars have been through multiple owners. rob 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though they were not a 71 item but I have heard of some people who bought their early 71 new and they were on their car from the factory. I can't verify it but I guess it is possible. rob 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want not.... If G.M. had parts left over from a previous year that fit, I'd imagine they'd do something like that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
