well my dad finally bought something…lol. He’s been talking about getting a summer toy forever since he sold the vette like…12 years ago. anyways, he’s always had old school muscle growing up…so here is a taste of nostalgia. not my first choice… but he seems to really like them… at least it looks rather clean and straight in the pictures. he just wants something to cruise in really.
1970 Monte Carlo SS 454
hope i can convince him to put a top end on those cubes
im still going to whup his ass all up and down the street :nono:
i would just like to put some simple bolt ons on it for now. i dont know how original he wants to keep it. the engine is out of a 74 with a cam, but everything else is #'s M. stuff like an electric fan, manifold/carb, headers, and heads and cam would really wake it up imo
although much of the body and structure were shared with the Chevrolet Chevelle (firewall, windshield, decklid, and rear window were the same), adding new front end sheetmetal, wider C-pillars, and new rear fenders. Bulges were added to the fenders to create a more muscular appearance. The Monte Carlo also had the then-fashionable concealed windshield wipers.
he actually still might be getting a new summer car… depending on how the year goes.
zo6 has been out the window for a while now. i was the one looking for a vette. if he got anything i think it would be the XLR since he can get a real good price on one. those are cool cars
monte carlos and chevelles (malibus) are completely different cars mang. totally different body styling.
