Newbie here......just got a 1970 Monte Carlo, not a complete barn find but has been sitting for a few years. It started and drove it home (80 miles). It's a project but still in relatively good shape. My husband and I will be working on breathing some new life into her. I'm sure I will be here often looking for ideas and suggestions.

Hi `Theresa, that is one of the cleanest Barn Finds I've ever seen
It's also a very unique color option (green))....I see that it has a bench seat + . How many miles & options ?

Looking forward to reading what your plans are for this rare super looking Chevy Monte Carlo ////Getting close 2 it's 50th anniversary (WoW)....Who ever said that Monte's wouldn't last

Thanks for posting/sharing & we look 4ward to seeing & reading more about your treasured Chevy `1st Gen Monte 4-$ure

It isn't a complete "barn find" but it was in a shed for a few years, covered in dirt, dust and bird poop. It show 76,000 miles, frame and floor pans solid. The trunk pans needs some attention. Has original rally wheels that are in pretty good shape. The drivers side of bench seat is less than desirable. Does have factory air but it is capped off, but came with a new dryer bottle and appears can work with a little help. Our plans are uncertain at this point of if we want to just fix whats there and keep it original or if we want to put in bucket seats, console, change color, etc. hhhmmmmm what to do?????
