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 ![http://i3.ebayimg.com/02/i/000/e5/05/9742_3.JPG](http://i3.ebayimg.com/02/i/000/e5/05/9742_3.JPG) ![http://i19.ebayimg.com/03/i/000/e5/05/9a1e_3.JPG](http://i19.ebayimg.com/03/i/000/e5/05/9a1e_3.JPG) ![http://i15.ebayimg.com/01/i/000/e5/05/9c04_3.JPG](http://i15.ebayimg.com/01/i/000/e5/05/9c04_3.JPG) ![http://i10.ebayimg.com/08/i/000/e5/05/9db6_3.JPG](http://i10.ebayimg.com/08/i/000/e5/05/9db6_3.JPG) ![http://i21.ebayimg.com/01/i/000/e5/05/a006_3.JPG](http://i21.ebayimg.com/01/i/000/e5/05/a006_3.JPG) ![http://i24.ebayimg.com/04/i/000/e5/05/ac6e_3.JPG](http://i24.ebayimg.com/04/i/000/e5/05/ac6e_3.JPG) im still going to whup his ass all up and down the street :nono: ---

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. nevermind… longer front clip. for nascur. siqq. ---
