Real nice car. Is it missing an option? Two things I’m curious about. Did the front bumper guards come off a parts car or is it some weird reflection? Did the 70s F41 cars not have the trailing arms boxed. Must have some sort of spacer to prevent collapsing the arm with the sway bar bolts.

The original carburetor was a Rochester Quadrajet, not a Holly.

I believe that the trailing arms were boxed on F41 suspensions.

My curiousity is in the that the left front headlight sits funny and the driver's door isn't aligned..... Front end collision damage ????? 

And other that the Holley, it seems to be a nice looking Monte.

The small block fan shroud and standard rear control arms are interesting. The rusty bumper guards look out of place on this car.

Here’s Dennis’s chance to own a legit SS.

You don’t “see” docs?  Or you don’t “acknowledge” docs?   Big difference.

This car definitely has some red flags
