Hi Folks,
Been following this forum since before I purchased my latest 1971 Monte Carlo. It has a numbers matching drivetrain. 350/2BBL/TH350. Factory color was gold w/black vinyl top(I have the trim). It is a factory air car(doesn't work/don't care) with tilt steering. It was purchased new on July 4th, 1971 in NYC. Number of owners is unknown. Purchased for $5500 in November 2017 in Rockland County. The color is a factory Pontiac color from 2000 which was last time it was painted. Since then I had the damaged passenger side fender repaired and color matched) for $900. Found the rally wheels and Indy 500 tires on Craigslist for $600. Tranny grenaded in 2019 and rebuilt for $1450 Just had the interior refresh(seat covers/headliner/carpet completed this fall for $2400. So I all in at $10,850.
There are plenty of things still to address/decisions to make and looking for the MC expertise in this forum for help in making the right decisions.
Love all the pictures of y'alls awesome Monte Carlos!
Best,
Joe
