DragCat Posted September 12, 2024 Posted September 12, 2024 Nice color combo https://www.cruisinclassicsinc.com/vehicles/1430/1971-chevrolet-monte-carlo 4 Quote
Marks71 Posted September 12, 2024 Posted September 12, 2024 Nice car. That’s another one worth taking a look at or paying a reputable person do that for you. Price appears very fair. Noticed the linkage tying the trans to the column is missing. Probably due to the conversion to the center console. When doing a trans swap like that, can the horse shoe shifter still be locked by the steering column as the factory did for the 3 spd. autos? Quote

Yes, mine is hooked up with same linkage from the column to the trans. Shiftworks makes a shifter bracket for the side of the trans. 2 1 Quote

clint w Posted September 15, 2024 Posted September 15, 2024 Can figure out what is going on with the weatherstrip but for $33k it should be fixed IMHO 2 1 Quote
