Hit up a local car museum for the first time today. Had a couple pretty cool / relevant cars for this group:




Not a Monte / W body, but an important part of 3800 history. This is the Spirit of Bonneville - the first production front wheel drive car to break 200 mph. I dont remember much about the engine as it's been so long (and the signage wasnt detailed enough - although they did have an engine bay picture on the wall) - but it was a 3800 with one of the original Kenne Bell supercharger kits along with Doug Thorley headers (before 3800 headers were shelf stock items - same place that ultimately did the LS4 car headers).



And one perfectly applicable to this group. Im sure everyone has seen plenty of them on the various auction sites - but it's still neat to see in person too (and was their only Monte).
