I prefer to have a SS OVER a LS Anyways I LOVED The MC SS Over the MC LS

 

You may want to consider increasing your purchaseprice for 2 Reasons. The first is I don't believe anyone here would sell there Monte for less than $4500. Second, if you get one for that price it is more than likely going to be a Beeter, not Really worth bringing back to life!

 

I got my 99 z34 for 1700 from second owner and it has 140k miles but was driven by an old lady till 100k

But then again I know mine is a 5th gen

 

I LOVE The MC SS Because of the power they produce I had a 1987 ford Ranger STX 4X4 Extended Cab 2.9L 177CID V6 A4LD Automatic With OD BW1350 Manual Transfer Case Dana 28 Front Ford 7.5 Rear With 3.73 Gears It was a BAD Little truck I named it Little Blue After my Great Uncle Bob Chandler's Bigfoot Ranger

 

2001 Chevy Monte Carlo SS Price Reduced What do you guys think of this NICE Looking 2001 Monte Carlo SS? It needs the Transmission Rebuilt Engine AND Transmission Installed For $1,000 FIRM IF Its worth it I may just buy it I have a personal garage that rebuilds transmission for a REALLY Good price Over in Leadwood Mo Is where my girlfriend lives at And on the other side of town Is the Garage

 

I'm not saying it's impossible to find a good Monte for $1500. But, if you had to sell your Monte for whatever reason, I'll bet you wouldn't take $1700 for it. And That's all I am saying, is that anyone on MCF who is selling their Monte, of any Gen, has put $$$ and themselves into the car and therefore would want a higher price for it.
You got lucky. Im sure a deal like yours could be found But that would take a lot of foot work!

 

Even, if the rest of the car is in good shape, No major damage, and you pay $1500 for it and the another $1000 to get the engine and trans done, you got a bargain. Go to KBB and put the cars info in and you will see what they say it's worth. If you spend less than the Blue Book value of the car in the purchase and repair, then it is by all means worth it.
Don't forget to post pics we all Love seeing new Montes join our family on cars!

 

I agree JC Colon I LOVED The Monte Carlo's Until 06 Then there were Okay I guess But Instead of a V6 They put a V8 In it IF I Wasn't on SSI I WOULD Buy me a NEWER Monte Carlo But Since I'm Mentally Disabled I have to get a older car Which Doesn't bother me I'm ole skool Anyways So its ALL Good

 

2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Supercharged SS Here is the Monte Carlo I am looking into getting HOPEFULLY VERY SOON That is IF Everything goes to plan It is a 2004 Monte Carlo SS Supercharged I LOVE The supercharged model Monte Carlo's My mom wanted to get a Supercharger for her 77 Monte Carlo But it got stolen in East ST Louis Illinois And found in South St Louis Mo wrapped around a light pole
