Not lacking Monte Carlos at all.

This place is amazing. I've never been to the GM Heritage Center but I really want to go on a tour someday. They have a minimum group size of 30 people. Maybe we could get a group formed and go this summer?

Here's evidence. First, a 1984 fourth gen and the last Monte Carlo built, a 2007 precision red/silver stripes, also pictured two down. The last two 07's off the assembly line were identical precision red/silver stripes and ebony interior. The second to last was auctioned off and bought by a dealership owner (who displayed it in his showroom) and the last was retained for the Heritage Collection by GM, shown here. I'm not sure what the significance of the 84 is.



The last Monte Carlo built.



1971 Monte Carlo, the last year of the SS 454.



1998 Monte Carlo Intimidator Concept. This car was at the Monte Carlo Nationals in 1998 and/or 1999 (can't remember). I saw this one in person at the Nationals.



1983 Monte Carlo, again not sure of the significance of this one either.



One of Dale Earnhardt's cars.

It's basically right in my backyard, probably an hour drive, and I have yet to go. Probably because tours require a 30 person minimum and you need to reserve. $10 per person Mon-Fri, $20 per for Saturdays. Cameras are welcome. We should get a group together for a tour, just saying.

Depending on the date, for sure, you can count on 2 of us for a Saturday tour.
