Got my first MC as a 16 year old kid back in the late '70s; a dark green 402 cid with bucket seats. Later, in my 20's, I had an '85 SS. Wish I still had them both.

Now 50 and nearing retirement, I am looking to turn my 70 'Vette over to my son, and get back into the saddle of a Gen 1 MC. My first, of probably many, questions is how do you verify that a Gen 1 is a true SS and not a fraud?

 

Welcome to the Forum

This is what i found idk if itll help but its a start

The First Generation Monte Carlo Club

 

thank you sir' that is a VERY GOOD start......

 

welcome to the forum, we love pictures, do you have any of the vette and the other Montes you've had in the past......

 

Welcome to the site. That was all the info I could find too. I thought for sure there would have been a vin letter or number or something.

 

I do have some pics of the Vette, and will get you computer-literate son to show me how to post them.

Sadly, I never took pics of either of the MC's; too young and dumb to realize what I had.

I love the Corvette (454, 4 speed, black on black hardtop with Center Lines and chrome Hooker headers/sidepipes), but have a special fondness for the MC's, especially the '70, my first.

 

Welcome to the forum! Hope you can find a nice first gen
