kovey10 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 A guy that lives very close to me is parting out 2 71 Montes, I have a 70, but I am going to look at them and see if there is anything I can use. I know there are plenty of differences between the 2 yrs, but as far as dash pads, radios ( I know theyre diff colored), mirrors, AC vents, dome light cover, moulding & trim, these parts should be fairly easy to put in from yr to yr, correct? Also, I know that the 70 and 71 grills are different, but will a 71 fit a 70 Monte, so I can put something in there until I get my new grill. If anyone is looking for anything let me know and I will see what I can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monte70car Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Kovey the grille will fit. The dash pad will work too the only thing is the dash cluster will light of clear instead of the green like the 70's, same thing with the radio. Depending on why you want the a/c vents they will work too they might not move together as most of the vents of become broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kovey10 Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 Thanks for the response. Im going to stop over at this guys house and see what he has. He said he has 1 really nice grille, so if the price is right I may pick it up and throw it on my car for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicDragon42 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 If you can pick up a nice 71 grill, do it. When you get your 70 grill, I bet you will not have any problems selling the 71. They are very hard to come by and easy to sell. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyDavey Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I think the ac vents are a little different, but they may fit.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kovey10 Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 I went to check out the 71s today and there were quite a few good parts eventhough the cars were in pretty poor shape. I bought 1 71 grille, the 2nd grill was a mess, the 1 I ended up with is very nice except for the side of it is split at the seam wherr the chrome is the thickest. He had some decent bumpers, some glass, good head light ext, good doors, hoods, seats were all shot for the most part, seat belts were decent, rally wheels mismatched but there, I ended up with the 71 grille, a glove box door, 2 71 Monte Carlo grille emblems, and a 70 AM radio. All for $10. If anyone knows how to fix the problem with the grille it would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared Richey Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 $10???????????? I'd be going back and get all the rest. Just a side not on the grill that you didn't get, if it ain't broken, bent up or cracked up bad, it can be replated. If its got all the above its good as junk. The grill you bought may can be fixed, but its made out of Pot Metal, and someone with specialy skills has to weld potmetal, and its costly. Then you're looking at a rechome.

kovey10 Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 Yeah, I mean the grille isnt really all that bad, like I said theres the split on the side, but for $10 I wasnt going to pass it up. I'm think of trying JB Weld or 5 min. epoxy on it just to see if it'll hold it for the time being. I wish I needed more parts, I would have loaded up on a bunch today. I think I'll be going back tom. for a 12-bolt posi for my dads 64 Impala. If you guys can think of something youre looking for Ill check on it tomorrow. Oh and the grill I didnt get was really bad, the top chrome was either broken or missing, the bars going across the grille were broken, bent or gone, but the emblem was good so I saved that.

Jared Richey Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Load up and put them on ebay. Darn, sounds like they're going cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kovey10 Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 He had all the molding and trim from 1 and for the most part everything was solid and straight. Door panels, arm rests, and seat belts were there. Im going to make a list tonite and maybe head over there tom. morning and see what I can pick up.
