Zdyb 71

If anyone wants to tow it off let me know. No title.

Not bad shape, the bottoms are gone.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll go thru it and see what's salvageable and let you guys know.

Hey Willi, we do still have some part to remove, not sure all what but once we are done it’s for whom ever wants her. The floor pans are shot to include truck pans. The rear traction bars are rusted out. Underneath is bad! I’ll get better picks next time I go.

The boys and I are stripping down this 71, if anyone wants the body and frame let me know. It’s in bad shape and I have no where to store it. It’s located in the North ft worth area.

Thank you everyone for the help, I did use a jumper to get the cam broke in. I found that the ignition switch plug, although pushed in all the way one of the wires didn’t connect. Happen to be the pink wire for the distributor. I ended up using a pedal nose and pushed it in. So we are off to remedy a few leaks, and a worn out transmission cable.

Sweet, I replaced it with a new one but new sometimes aren’t new! Lol

It is a floor shifter, I’m going to look at the ignition switch and see if it’s wired proper.

The boys and I working on the engine and the other pic is my dad. The reason I’ve put as much wrench time into the Monte as I have.

After 26 long years of not running, yesterday was a monumental moment. my 71 will start but won’t stay running, when you let go of the key and a retracts back to the accessory position, the engine dies. I’ve had the steering column rebuilt and soldered in the connectors the best of my ability. If anybody has a picture of the wiring that goes into the steering column, please share it. When I get home today I’ll post what mine look like. Can’t wait to take it for a drive. The last time this car has ran and I was driving it way back in 1998.

That's a crazy rebuild! Welcome to the group, one new guy to the other!

Thanks everyone for the welcomes! I'll keep you guys updated on the build. I'm all about joining as a dues member.

Hello MCC, I’m in the DFW area, trying to restore a 71 MC that was my grandfathers. It’s been a long road but I have gain lots of ground in the last 5 month. If you’re in my area, hit me up! I would love to chat about Monte’s! Here’s a few pick of the progress so far.
