Man Space id love to have that always wanted a first gen

 

That looks nice an seems priced right. I would however remove those side body moldings. I know they serve a purpose but do not look good on that car. They should have stopped it before back wheels. But Yes, I like and sure would love it in my driveway.

 

Thanks Mike & Jerry, for your posts/feedback..

I often go to Auto Traders Classic to dream about the cars they have for sale & I thought the price & condition of the above Monte was decent I also agree `Jerry that it would look better without the molding...

I not a fan of vinyl tops, & I'd paint it Midnight BLACK
Maybe one of our Member's will get it ?

Yes, Mike I love the 1st Gen's, but I do like certain models of all Gen Monte Carlo's.....I'd love to have one of each
OK, I'm going back to my auto dreamland...Please do not disturb my space ~>
p.s. really, I have 2 get back 2 work

 

I was gonna say Black would be better but didnt want to sound like I was downgrading the car as it is nice.

 

I wish we had our triple black 72 back - first thing I'd do is get rid of the bench seat and put a console and buckets in. Tuxedo Black was not a standard color for the 72 Monte. Like ours, it was special ordered.

 

Hi `Amy, I was hoping that you would see this thread & post your thoughts...I thought of your awesome Black Monte when I found the above Monte...Your's was awesome 4-Sure... What did you think of the price on this one ?

Do you miss yours ? Any regrets ?
p.s. do you have any pictures of yours that you can post on this thread ?

 

Wonder if i can trade my GTO for one & get some money back

 

I think that is a great price for a rust free car. And I totally miss our Monte it was beautiful - it would always win at participant judged show even though it was only a driver - it was clean and straight. The only thing that I don't miss that it barely fit in the garage LOL! I'm almost happy that the next car I get will be downsized to my 05 Monte - much more room in the garage.

 

i wish i was a fan of the leather top. They don't look bad by any means but i don't think i'd ever own one..that black looks pretty damn good tho
