Rare SS

I bought it from Gary Thorne. He restores power seat units.

But the peeled door sticker says 1969, lol

Its been completely taken apart, stripped, dipped, painted and rebuilt.

BUMP!! POWER BUCKET SEAT BRAND NEW REBUILT! Hi guys, am seeing if there's any interest here before I go to the Evilbay (or other!) I was going to put this into another Monte, but ended up selling it before I got the chance. This is a very rare factory option and is complete (with mounting brakets, harness and switch.) Also open to trades. Thanks, Jeff

looking forward to see how much Jared's old car sells for!

The emblem will not properly attach to the grille unless it is correct for the year. The mounting posts on back of emblem conflict with bars on grille. Here's the link to the Roman numerals for proper year.

Darren, ("Monte Meister") I appreciate your contributions to the forum and your advice over the past several years and looking forward to more! All the best to you and your family!

I too would love to havve seen a factory convertible made. In these days of 3D printing, etc I wonder if someone will come out with a retractable hardtop roof. (Neatly tucked away in the trunk of course!) Now THAT would be cool! Jeff 70SS

I truly doubt this was done at dealer from new. Who was doing that in 72? Chevelle interior, cutlass top, it's not a Monte anymore (IMHO) but is a nice car. Not my taste.... good luck to the seller

Shipping would be double that. Thank you for the offer though.

Thanks for the info!

My brother found this am radio in his shop and is wondering if this will fit a Monte? It fits a Chevelle, but insure if that's the ss dash or sweep guage dash? (Would this make a difference?) Anyways, he doesn't want it; would this be worth anything to someone? Jeff

Ever try sitting (for long) there? The only way to relax in the back seat was to flip the buckets forward! No room back there, even for someone my size (5-10")

Still have my original stamped keys for the 71 Monte I bought in 1981. Not sure about where to get them, but a person could perhaps get a key shop to stamp onto keys? Just a thought Jeff

This unit is in brand new condition! It will fit any GM bucket seats 1966-72. It has been completely disassembled and completely gone through / rebuilt! Perfect working condition! *It comes complete with wiring harness, power switch and brand new mounting brackets (from opgi) NOW $750 Jeff 70 SS454

Car is a 72. Re-upholstered in 73 because of too much cigarette smoke? Yikes! Who owned the car, the Marlboro Man?

I polished all my original trim. I used a buffing / polishing wheel and different polishing compounds (Green / White) I also had excellent success with NEVR-DULL! A word of caution: Be careful with amount of pressure on some metal pieces. they can warp from the heat of the buffing wheel! I screwed up the top right trim piece from my rear window. It now has a WOW! I Didn't say WOW...I said 😣 #%*!!! Jeff (Rare SS)

It looks like it needs some shine (Satin or gloss). It will also protect it from the little particles the fanbelt constantly throws at it. Jeff (Rare SS)

Ah, yes...I just looked at (and compared) my Monte SS mirror in my parts hoard. NOT samesies! lol

I just saw these on Kijiji if anyone's looking? Unsure if they will be proper for Monte(?) Seller is asking $150 Canadian (which is approx. $115 US) I doubt shipping would be more than $40 US Vintage GM bullet mirrors ..... nice used pair | Other | Kitchener / Waterloo | Kijiji Jeff

These look good on some cars!

They make them for the 70 (bought a complete set lenses and housings), but not for the 71

You could also have the dreaded "re-man" (rebuilt) compressor! I replaced 2 rebuilt factory compressors before settling with an aftermarket new one; Doesn't quite look the same, but man, does it work! As I said before, AC needs to FUNCTION properly! FORM is only for when you lift the hood! Hope you're able to work it out with the great advice here! Jeff 70 SS454

I can fix it! My father is a TV Repairman and has a wicked set of tools!

For 7 years now, I have only just used glass cleaner on the tires of my cars. It's alcohol based and leaves no residue or attract dust the way these tire dressings do. There's no danger of harming your tires, they can take it (currently on my 4th season ) It's called Invisible Glass and is the best I've used in many years! The foaming glass cleaner leaves the tires clean with a perfectly even matted finish, unlike those GREASY, shiny tires you sometimes see (afterall, any dressing/ coating you put on needs to be removed.) It also saves you from having to also clean that guck off your rims! Jeff 70 SS (No greasy shoes!)
