Hey everyone,
long time lurker, first time posting.


I have a 2002 Intimidator.
I haven't quite decided if I'm ready to sell or if I'd rather pour some cash into it (ZZP Kit perhaps?).
I've just replaced some window and dash wiring and a couple of sensors, I'm here to do some more research and make a decision.

Welcome to the Monte Carlo Family.
Good Luck on making the right decision. I think you should sell & get a Mustang > (j/k)
How many miles on your Monte ? How do you rate your Monte's condition ?

Hi Arch, I think you should keep and mod. You can always say "The Devil made me do it". Lol

It's in very good condition considering that it's been a daily driver (and family owned) since we got it at 4,000 miles. (now 128K almost all highway). Besides some very minor cosmetic issues, everything is mechanically sound. The only outstanding issue I think is a possible warped rotor. Light shaking when braking hard from ~60 down to 40, I've previously replaced both left and right hubs with Timken parts but the rotors are still original.


I know the 3800 is solid, and there are myriad options for improvements, my reservation with modding at this point, is if I start I tend to go overboard, and I don't want to tie up cash in a chassis that might be visiting the shop for electrical issues on the reg.

I have the certificate and original window sticker, I don't know if there's still a market for Dale out there.

Appreciate the welcome and input.
