Default Pics of My Dad's 72 Monte

My Dad just recently sold this car, but I thought I'd post some pictures of his 1972 Monte Carlo. He purchased the car in 1995, when I was eight, and at that time it was basically stock. The first couple years following he put a lot of time and work into the car: suspension and rear end rebuild in 1996; exhaust, trans, front end and engine rebuild in 1997; lots of other things here and there. Rebuilt 454 c.i. pushing an estimated 550 hp. TC400 TCI trans. 3:73:1 posi rear end. We have had the car at a number of the NMCOA Conventions. Just thought I'd share some pictures of the car that established my interest with Monte Carlos...









The 72 Monte and my 03 Monte at a local weekly cruise-in back in 2007...



Day of purchase, September 1995...



Suspension rebuild...



Engine as purchased, prior to rebuild...



Engine and front end rebuild...









Thanks for looking!
