if you're considering the first why not just swap a supercharged engine or top swap the current?

to get the second done you're probably looking at an extra $1500 in work to get the monte looking decent. I would like to see you do a new build tho, i enjoyed reading the last!

I voted SS supercharged, but I wouldn't mind having the second in the list if the damage wasn't to costly. If it were only $1500 like Mitch has said, I'd say go for that one....

i voted the 07, until i saw all the damage, and the asking price, and i figure that price does not include repairs, soooooooo i would go with the 04 SS as well after much thought.

Its a tough call, and it depends where you wanna go with this...

If its a faster car within a limited bugget, I suggest the '04. The V6's are the easiest/ cheapest to build. But airbags can be expensive, can't they?

The '07 looks pretty good to me - a few bumpers and tailight can't be too expensive to fix. If you want newer and faster with no mods, pick this one.

If you don't need to go any faster (which truth be told, none of us really do) then don't bother trading up at all. You have an awesome Monte that more of a collector then any of these other cars.

I don't know which I would choose, but they all seem like winners to me!

Yeah the air bags can cost alot & it needs all 4 of them

& yeah im leaning twards the 07, ive always wanted one & this gives me a chance to make a yellow one

& yeah if i keep mine than most of the money will go into the gto,, its not bout goin fast its more or less i dont keep my dds over 100k ikn thats kinda dumb but its how ive always done it, so idk if i can get wat i want outta mine ill sell
