More rare Monte than an 86 Aerocoupe?

Not sure what I think about this. Definitely has the rare factor. But the design really takes away from the beauty and lines of the early MC. I say it's a butch job if I ever saw one but hey, everyone's different and to each their own. Perhaps its a testimony to the refinement of the MC that they would make a knockoff Rolls Royce out of it. After all the MC has always been the perfect blend of luxury and power.

Good eye Ken. The front bumper was molded from a Riviera.

Nice find, never knew such a Monte conversion ever existed, learn something everyday. It would be a cool ride to build the motor to the max and take to the track or surprise people out street racing.

I've seen pics of that one before. It is so ugly. And it takes what was good about that era and just ruins it
