Hello! Without further ado. My 1977 Monte.



Specs/story >>


So I owned a 77 Monte way back in 1986. It was the first car I ever owned and I fell in love with it. My first was tan interior with metallic Orange paint. Later changed to white. Once I moved out to AZ in 98 I decided I had to get another one. Now that I live someplace where cars never rust. I eventually found this beauty in Antioch CA. It was a low rider when I picked it up. So had to lift her back up. Ripped out the stock 350ci and replaced with built full roller 454. Single carb. Ripped out the stock 350 turbo trans and replaced with a 700r4 from Hugh's Performance here in Phoenix. Replaced the rear gear from 2.73 to 3.73 and Moser axel'sAll told about 20,000$ in upgrades so far with much more to do. But she's worth it as you can see. The hardest part about doing this is, of course, the money. If only I were rich!
