She's almost all semi gloss black out of a rattle can an one fender in gloss black(looks good at 15 ft when clean)
Right now just trying to get the money to get her fixed.You can see the intake an carb to the left of the tool box.To the right you can see a 350 4 bolt that i'm most likely going to replace my ruined 350 with if I ever get the funds to do.
The right bank on the current block 3 of the head bolt holes pulled the treads out
I've been trying to sell the Trans Am to pay for the engine work I need to do

 

Here is my '88 Green Machine

 

Not mine, but this "was" my Dad's 1972. He sold it in 2011 after owning it for 17 years.

 

That's a real beauty Matt!

Matt that's is a very nice first gen

Thanks Stumpmi

 

That's one gorgeous first gem

 

Thanks guys, I just wish that he would have kept the 72 for a few more years, maybe until I was in a situation to buy it from him. I loved that car and it's what got me interested in the Monte Carlo. Maybe I'll come across it some day in the future, that'd be cool.

454 c.i. big block that he rebuilt; bored to 472 c.i. making an estimated 550hp. Actually he had the whole front end apart while rebuilding the engine and had a lot of the body (except the fenders) and frame repainted at the time. Rebuilt the rear end as well and, off the top of my head, I can't remember the gear ratio he was running, although I do remember it wasn't really set up for highway cruising. 3" exhaust all the way back.

...that car is a beast.

 

@DonutBoy97 - That "Green Machine" is an awesome looking 4th gen!! Nice chrome rims (look kinda like IROC Camaro rims).

@05mistreSS - Your dad's Monte looks like it just rolled out of the show room!! Gorgeous!! Too bad he doesn't still own it. What made him sell it after 17 years???
