A friend of the shop teacher at work dropped off a pair of '71 Montes. The gold one had a decent front clip and doors, but was really rotted up in the roof and rear quarters. The other one has a better body, but the doors/front fenders were toast. So, they swapped some parts over to save the better one. My '88 is in the middle.

 

the monte on the right is sweet, kinda beat up but badass for sure! i love it! the monte in the middle is totally awesome, great picture!!

 

clean monte u have there and the 1st gen will be a nice one

 

That's simply an amazing 4th Gen.

One day I'll have one! haha

 

Thanks for the compliments guys! The '71 should be really nice if the guy restores it; it's a factory big-block/AC car with bucket seats and a 12-bolt rear. The gold one was the same way too; shame it rotted away. Both have been sitting for a long time.

 

nice monte. i like the wheels they look kinda like rocket wheels. and i love the first gen montes. is it a 72 or does it just have a 72 nose on it?

 

Great pic of work in process. Thanks for sharing it with us.

 

Nice 4th Gen, love it!

 

2 great looking montes!

 

Hmmm, the shop teacher told me it was a '71 - maybe the dark green one is the '71, and the gold one was a '72? That's definitely possible; I'll have to inspect them a little closer to see if I can figure it out. And thanks for the compliment on my SS! Yours look great also - I'm planning to start shopping for an '06-'07 MC SS in a few months. I just have to save some more $$ first, since we spent a lot on our house last year (kitchen remodel, and an addition).
