ouch Posted July 2, 2023 Posted July 2, 2023 Hey this is Rich. I had been wanting to get another 70 Monte after selling my 1st 70 Monte 30 years ago. Luck would have it I got my second one and It's going to get modified. No reaI factory options were picked but it has very little rust. I am looking for any help on parts selection of aftermarket handling package experience. My goal is to keep it looking stock but handle and run like a modern car. Hope to have some good expereinces here. Thanks 9 Quote
MC1of80 Posted July 2, 2023 Posted July 2, 2023 Welcome Richard! Nice looking Monte to start you creation with. We love pics here and helping others fix, modify or whatever their rides. Ask away! 2 Quote
Dtret Posted July 2, 2023 Posted July 2, 2023 Very nice car. I’m one of the “keep it original guys” but there is a ton of knowledge here by the” I’m not keeping it original guys.” They have seen it and/ or done it. So just ask. O ya welcome by the way. 3rd edit. We love spending O.P.M. (other people's money). Lol. 😆 2 2 Quote

Glen Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 Welcome!!! The first thing I would recommend for any aftermarket enhancements is painting it Shadow Gray. It’s Rob’s, Willie’s and Dennis’s favorite color on a First Gen Monte. Observe… 1 4 Quote
willie Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 Glen, Glen, Glen. I am sure i said i love that color and i do!!! However....... 2 Quote
cny first gen 71 Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 Shadow gray is a very nice color on a monte for sure but if your going to change color you can't go wrong with a blue monte! Did someone mention we love pictures and showing off our cars. 4 Quote

Dang, I like most of the colors on First Gen Monte's rob 5 Quote
Dtret Posted July 11, 2023 Posted July 11, 2023 I do like the Shadow Gray. But my favorite is the dark maroon. But yet all mine are the bathtub colors of the 70’s. Spring green, gold and light blue. Can’t say I’m a fan of my color selection but they are what they will remain. 5 Quote
Rob Peters Posted July 11, 2023 Posted July 11, 2023 Oh, I forgot.... I also like the 70 color of Black Cherry rob 2 Quote
