  1. not sure if this will get buried in the forum here, but I'm asking 15k for this monte and have only put it out on this website first so far. If I don't get any interest in the next week or so I will probably get more aggressive with putting it on other websites. email with questions, its a great running monte.
  2. oops. tires should be here: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MTT-3460
  3. Carl, yes i can see your posts, was going to get back to you earlier, but got distracted. Prolly making some millers disappear or something lol. For the wheels, i bought them from summit racing. The back wheels are http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CRR-3977834P The front wheels are http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CRR-3977734 Tires are here http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CRR-3977734 Hope this helps.
  4. Hearing crickets..... that's ok, just thought id give this group first shot at the 71 monte. Will plan on expanding to other outlets in the next week or so. Thanks for any interest.
  5. More information regarding this 1971 monte. I bought it in 2016. There is no lien on it. Has been in heated garage ever since. It came with the stock 15 " rally wheels and tires (that I still have and come with the car), and I had those replaced. I went with 4 mickey thompson ET street s/s 255/50-16s, with the front going on 16x7" wheels with 4" bs and back going on 16x8" wheels with 5"bs. I had Viking coil over shocks/spring system installed and adjusted it to the height and stance I liked. The engine is a big block, and the car has 454 SS badging, however I do not have the paperwork to prove this. Transmission Is turbo 350 Rear end is open 12 bolt non-posi New Holley 600 cam street warrior carb installed 2 years ago. Odometer says 88k miles. There is a CD player installed by the prior owner where the glove compartment is with a remote control. The car runs great, is mechanically sound and I get a lot of compliments on it whenever I take it for a cruise. Asking 20k.
  6. I am outta town til Sunday. I will post more pics and info asap. and typically magicians make things disappear. In my case it’s cold miller high lifes
  7. definitely more pictures on request. email me with inquiries. not sure about the numbers matching. bought it from a consignment businmess. not looking to finance my retirement from the sale, just want a fair price. am a fan of selling to fellow entusiasts. obviously some after market add-ons. still have the original tires/wheels. runs great, new fuel injector system. viking coilovers. definitely a headturner....
  8. Hi yall, due to a home remodel project i am planning on selling my 1971 monte carlo. It has 454 badging, i cannot prove that it is truly one due to lack of paperwork. I figured to put this first on this website for true enthusiasts. Message me with any questions you may have. Been heaated garage kept since i purchased it up here in wisconsin in 2016.
  9. marks71: to be honest, that might be the case. i cant remember if that was my plan to to have different offset and then adjusting to having the same..... im getting older and sometimes the memory fails me lol
  10. Blackhawk, I went with 4 mickey thompson ET street s/s 255/50-16s, with the front going on 16x7" wheels with 4" bs and back going on 16x8" wheels with 5"bs. i then installed Viking coil overs and adjusted them to the stance I liked

  12. Update on the floor pan project. I ended up buying a flux core welder for my project, as the price was pretty decent and it was able to run off my 120 outlet in the garage. While working on the under seat area, I wasn't sure if I needed to remove the brace/gusset on both sides. I opted to go for it and take those out. It sure wasn't easy, but Im glad I did because there was some really rusty, shaggy metal under them. Here is some pics of my progress, including those braces i decided to remove. I have passenger side welded in, driver side cut and almost ready to be welded in.
  13. Guys, thank you for all the input/encouragement. I have been obtaining a few of the tools i need for this project, as well as educating myself as best i can with youtube videos and even a trip to the library. I am starting with the under the back seat floor replacement. Both sides will need the floor patched. I started cutting out the driver's side and I have a question about the pan that goes underneath the brace connecting the outer wall and the pan underneath the seat. Do i need to remove that brace to be able to cut all the rusted floor, or do i need to cut it out from below? Or is there some other solution i haven't thought of? I attached a couple photos, and the brace Im talking about has the screwdriver pointing at it.
  14. Thanks for the encouragement and sound advice guys. I'm starting to look forward to tackling this project over the next few weeks. (Instead of dreading it) I will be doing a lot of reading up on welding, that's for sure. And thanks for the input on Eastwood welders MCFan. I'm looking into their welders and hope to purchase one soon after I figure out what I need. Anyway, I'm very thankful you guys have been so helpful. I will post pictures of this project as it progresses for your enjoyment/amusement. Here goes nuthin'
  15. Cbolt: Thank you for the reply and the encouragement. I'm a little hesitant because I'm a total rookie when it comes to welding. Ive decided to go for it, and attempt this project myself. I have an air compressor and going to purchase a metal nibbler attachment to help with the removal of the rusty floor pans. Metal grinder, check. Here is where I need help.... What kind of welder do I need?!? I'm assuming I will be using a MIG welder, but what kind and how powerful??? My garage is wired for a 220 v but no outlet has been installed. Should I go that route and get a 220 welder or is that overkill for this project? It will be relatively simple to get the outlet put in. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
  16. Update: I have been going to town with the wire brush rust removal and am getting close to deciding what I'm going to do. I am a little intimidated about this job because I really don't want to F it up. I have been watching a ton of videos on floor pan replacement and welding as well as por-15 and rust mort products. My problem is I don't know anyone in the area that is experienced to at least monitor my progress. (Do auto body guys do side jobs?)I called a body shop, sent them a bunch of photos and they gave me an estimate of 4 grand!!! 1 for parts (both floor pans, a rear pan, and floor brace) and 3 grand for labor. Along with the comment that "this is a best case scenario..... we expect more as we get into it" Advice?
