Clever1 Posted August 15, 2007 Author Posted August 15, 2007 Jim, It would be great to know if your manufacturer finds that someone does make them and they are willing to pass that information along.
Jared Richey Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 tony dont forget they r also makin whole chevelle bodys now too What years? I ain't heard about this one...
monte70car Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 its the 70-72 body ive seen it in the super chevy the camaro body u can get in coupe or covertable. but the sad thing is u have to reuse the vin # on the body u have now.

They say the new Camaros come with their own vin # and can be titled as a 67 or 69 Camaro whichever one you get. And I guess you don't have to reuse the old vin # on those cars. I didn't even know they made the Chevelle bodys yet.
KLASSIK1 Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 who is making chevelle bodies ????? , the first gen camaro and 69 mustang is on the way , but who makes chevelle bodies?? Leo
monte70car Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 leo i believe its the same company as the camaro
420ponies Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 This thread is wandering away from it's beginning.The vertical weather strips are what were after.I'm in for a set for mine.May this company see the light and produce these that is what I wish for.
Dans '70 Z20 Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 In case you are still loooking ....Steve Demers from club "NOS Z20" up in NH has a very nice used set on eBay. He is honest and a straight shooter. Description is always accurate. He parts out many Montes Chevelles and knows what a good part is. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayIS...0141247302&rd=1
KLASSIK1 Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 how much would yall be willing to pay , that figure would get the suppliers attention Leo
Jared Richey Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Well a reasonable amount. What is the price of these weatherstrips on other cars. I guess I would pay that.
Cali4nia Monte Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Can someone please post a picture of what piece you guys are talking about....that way when I get to it on our car I won't be sooo disappointed when I can't find it. Thanks, Jaylene
KLASSIK1 Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Jared that is the problem , there are thousands of chevelle and camaro buyers out there , you can buy any part you want made in the usa for a 55 chevy , there are just not that many montes being restored to give you that buying power in numbers, jaylene dont worry i have lots of good used sets these seals are at the rear of the back glass the inners i have hundreds the outers are the rare pieces as weather gets to them , it was a part not many kept when doing the EVIL parting of the monte , another Evil monte parts guy had a set on ebay did not bring 60.00 so i guess they are worth say 40.00 i can just see the big after market companies rushing to get the molds made lets see sell 100 sets =4000.00 yep thats sarcasm sorry im just shakin my head EVIL Leo the dog of parts ps Jared yall getting evil to j/k

I'll take USA or import, I would like to have a new soft set. I'd give $40 for a new set...may even go $50 for new ones. EVIL EVIL Jared....another one of those Monte Carlo dismantlers
420ponies Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 KLASSIK1, If they would reproduce these it would be great for monte owners I think. Think of all the ones that are on these montes that are weather cracked and leaking into the trunk and lower body panels.Do you have any outers that are descent shape? If you do, email me I'd be interested.
KLASSIK1 Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 i think gm added the metal backing for a reason , if they were not metal backed the window would dig into and displace the strip , tear it off the car with repeated window use , i have this problem with the repo glass to glass seals they are way to soft , i am not at all impressed with any of the soft trim i have seen but if it all you can get you have to work with it Leo
chevygod Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Probably already been gone over long ago, but has anyone looked to see how a 68-72 Grand Prix is sealed? The back edge looks very vertical, but with the radius at the lower corner it may be sealed the same as a Chevelle?
Big Jim Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Guys, I haven't heard from John excpet to say that it would be too expensive for them to make but have turned mine over to another company to see if they might be able to reproduce. I haven't heard from him about the fender seals yet. I hope the originals make it back to me. Jim
19MC70 Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 I'm in for a set too. No reason to half ... a paint job
WHITE KNIGHT 71 Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 These are the same as the Cutlass Supreme non-fast back. Olds made 2 body styles for Cutlass's. One shape like the Chevelle, the other with a block type look to rear window. The block type, has the same weather strips as our Monte's do. Plus, when I got mine NOS from ebay, (don't ask what I paid), some wrote on the gm package 70-72 Olds Cutlass coupe. Just FYI, Daniel
McCall72 Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Interesting info, White Knight. Good to know, expand those Ebay seach criteria's!
Frank23 Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Quarter rare seal is very important in the car. But if your car is missing both seals on one side, than you have to look at piece of metal where it was attached with inner seal.
D.E Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 I bought a set from SS396.com but they only have 2 metal snaps not 3 like MC's but the outer they sent is for the vertical between the door glass and 1/4 glass.So if you order the ones from them just order the inner I think they will still work.Same length but not the third clip.I have a set of vertical without the steel in it maybe can make them work on outer.When I get that far I'll see.Really hard to get some parts
