Hello guys,

This is Javier writing from Spain. Please accept my apologies if my english is not good enough but I'm trying to improve it daily.
I'm the owner of a 72 Monte since last month. A friend of mine bought it for me in an auction at Detroit.
The car looks quite goods but I will have to spent a lot of time on it.
There's some rust in the quarter panels and trunk but drives good and the engine sounds great.

Here are some photos. Do you know anything about this car?

Welcome to the site - 72 is one of my favorite years for the Monte. My fiance sold his 72 Monte last year and I miss it.

I went there like 20 years ago. Very nice city, very busy as well. It'll be 2am and there's people all over the place. Kind of reminded me of new york.

Thanks. I love you like it!

montyss02, yes, the car is already in Barcelona even if these photos were taken in Miami before shipping. I hope I can drive it next week. I'm waiting for the licence plates... Here is my ride waiting for them...

SpinEm_90, I'm jealous too!!! I'd like to be in the states again. I was at NYC last summer and I love it. I'm confident I'll visit the West Coast next year but I wish to visit every state.

Enzo354, I was fan of F1 when Fernando Alonso winned but currently I don't use to watch any race. Motmeló Racetrack is very near of my town but I've never been there for F1. Tickets are expensive and I prefer watching F1 at TV. I've been there lots of times when tickets are for free or I got a pass from a friend (motogp, GT series, Nissan series...). I'm a member of AMCCC that is an association of american car lovers. Two years ago my partners raced the quarter mile at Motmeló. Some of them drive amazing machines like 70 Challenger 525 HEMI, 69 Charger 440, 71 Roadrunner 440, 2007 Z06, 2008 GT500, 69 camaro Z28, 78 TransAM... most of them modified. We're aroung 800 members. My daily driver is an 05 Mustang V6 so I was not going race vs the cars I mentioned before .

I hope I can beat someone with my Monte.

KidSpace, yes, it's my personal car. I'll look for any information I need. Thanks.
I work as Parts Controller for Nissan Europe. I place requriements for thousands of parts to hundreds of suppliers.
Life's quite good here now. The sun is shinning today so I'm leaving now to take some beers and 'tapas'.
