Decent condition and rare if legit.

Was the 10 bolt standard for the 402 /4 speed ?  I would have thought being a High performance Big block and a 4 speed, that would have commanded the beefer 12 bolt posi as standard for that setup.

Bryan tkx for posting!   What a great car, She is beautiful!!

Mike i would agree!!

Don't think I've ever seen curb feelers on a Monte. I would think 12 bolt would have been standard also. Looks pretty in the pictures have to see in person to really tell.

Nice looking Monte, little concern on the bubbling paint comment. There seems to be some back and forth in the comments section about the car being listed 8 years ago with a build sheet but none pictured now. That would be a shame if it was lost.

Micheal (Mr. Boyte), If my eyes deceive me, it has a 12bolt.

Boy, That sure looks good for a 4spd car. I like how the engine bay has the correct? clamps on the hoses, correct air cleaner too. I thought someone on  here was looking for a 4spd car?  I'd be after this one for sure!.........no room in the garage , I need to build that other building I guess.

I see a 12 bolt in the pics.   Is that a stock fan shroud?  I don't think I've seen one like that before.

The ad states that the present owner hasn't had it very long. 

Makes one curious as to why it's already for sale with such a low opening bid.

None of our stuff works like it used to Mike 🤣

Lots of photos was a good thing. Would definitely need to see it, mainly due to the bubbling paint. Could be a high dollar fix, which is too bad because the rest of it looks to be really nice. Are those bumper guards in the right location? But its rarity could help it offset these issues. I’m familiar with the area. You might want to hire Glen and Mongo as chaperones.

That made me laugh 🤣 But I do have a warped sense of humor .

But reality wise, not a bad idea. Good heads up, as always members helping members

So what you are saying is that i should bring a check and not cash to buy this one, if i decide to buy it!!!  Poor Gas Monkey will be disappointed in me!!!  LOL

[Glen]

Compton?  Better scour this whip for traps containing dope and guns possibly forgotten about by the seller. 

And curb feelers?  🤢🤮. At least they didn’t lower it and put hydraulics and airbags on it.

I see you gave your homies in the donk community a pass 🤣

When I got mine, Hagerty wanted pictures because they didn't insure low riders.

Rob ... here's your big opportunity!!!

[Jim Bowtie]

 Bring a paint and body man! Nice for sure except for the Vinyl death starting to show again..

[KWick_70MC]

Anyone out in California willing to go look at it for me ? IM me or text me. 

[FrankOC]

Sold for $35k

[1970mcss]

[KWick_70MC]

Anybody know if anyone went and looked at it? just curious, as the last 10 minutes it went from 22k to 35k, and someone knew something IMO. lol

Dennis, thanks but a lot of things would have bothered me at the price it went for such as the bubbling paint and where they painted over the pitting around the rear vinyl trim.  The trunk looks pretty clean rust wise.  I also don't like how the rear bumper guards are not mounted properly... They should be inside the back-up light lens, not ported outside of the backup lights.  At first I couldn't put my finger on what didn't look right and then it dawned on me.

The car was manual steering that was changed to power steering, and no indication that those pieces were still round. The trunk appeared to have a small patch but was really hard to tell in the picture. I just could not swing getting to cali before the auction ended.

Definitely needs a strip and repaint to be a top level car theres always more hiding
