cwp911 Posted September 8 Posted September 8 Hello and thank you for allowing me to join your forum. I recently acquired when I believe to be a 72 Monte Carlo. It’s very deep in a storage locker. I was only able to get limited pics, and was not able to get to the vin but I did get a pretty clear picture of the data plate. Any help on deciphering this would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Constantine 1 Quote
