clint w Posted May 5 Posted May 5 Figured I would make a "New Member" post. I first started lurking around here about 15 years ago and joined up when I bought my first Monte Carlo but didn't renew my membership. I sold that car about 8 years ago. I had been looking another for the past couple years. Became a full dues paying member a couple years ago. Finally got me another Monte Carlo last week. It's a 1972. It checked all the boxes for what I was looking. ZZ4 350 engine, 700r4 transmission, 3.73 12 bolt rear, Wilwood disc brakes, tubular A arms , air conditioning, Bluetooth stereo, bucket seats with console and floor shifter. Not a big fan of the wheels. May change them at some point. 14 Quote
Rob Peters Posted May 5 Posted May 5 Clint, that is a beautiful Monte you have found. You live about the same distance from Somerset KY as me and I would love to meet you and see that beautiful Monte in Somerset, KY in a few weeks. I think we have another member who lives in your area who I think is coming to the Eastern Meet in KY. If the timing is not right to make it to Somerset, KY for the Eastern Meet there is always the Mini-Meet I am hosting in Carlisle PA toward the end of June. We have I think 43 members currently registered with me to come to the Carlisle Meet. Both of these meets are a great way to meet a lot of our members and see some great Monte Carlo's rob 5 1 Quote

72 Monte Carlo Posted June 25 Posted June 25 Clint, You sure have a beautiful Monte! The wheels on it are okay, but I agree that the bigger wheels just don't give a Monte Carlo that vintage/classic car look. It would look better with a different size of wheels on it - 15" Cragar's or a nice set of Rally wheels always give the car that classic look that just seems to be timeless. 3 Quote

Just say "NO" to the "Hot Wheels" crowd.... 1 Quote
