Okay, so I was looking through a box and found some old pictures and there was my second car, a 1974 Monte Carlo. I mentioned the car in one of my first post here on forum and thought some day I should post some pictures so here they are...
Purchased in 1987 a Triple GREEN 1974 Chevy Monte Carlo to replace my 1972 Buick Skylark that was totaled when while sitting at a red light I was rear-ended by a Oldmoboat.



I quickly replaced the steel wheels and hub caps with some Keystones.
Then my Uncle David and I fixed the rust and stripped the top and prepared the car for paint.





After we primered the repairs we sealed them with white paint until I could have the entire car painted, this is how it looked when I returned to High School for my Jr year.



Not too long after was able to get the car painted. I drove this car all through High School. Lots of good times, sold the car shortly after going away to college. Some days I wish I had the car back and those simpler days...

Here is how it finally looked when done.





If I can find more pictures of it I will post them up.

Here is one of me in front of the car going to work at Dillards my Sr year of HS. It was a little windy, that is not a Flock of Seaguls hair cut, I hated having my picture taken, can you tell?

 

You had quite nice hair then...

 

 

Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

 

that deff is a nice lookin car there

 

Nice job on the repair of your 74. Although I must admit it is a little strange to see the mid 80's "MONTE CARLO" decals on the side of a 74.

 

Very nice Resto!!! I wish I had taken more pics of the cars I have owned. I have some, but I would need to scan them to digitize them.

 

Just thought I would present borrowed images representing my first two rides...no Silver they aren't horse drawn but they did push some horse power!
1st 68' Impala SS purschased in 76
2nd 70' Nova SS purchased in 79 loved both

 

That's kind of like a partial restoration, I suppose! Thanks for saving it! It would have been a great car for sporting back and forth to college ( I know, that's what I use mine for!)

 

"And I ran, I ran to get my Monte Carlo all day."
Yes I ran, I couldn't get away fast enough."
LOL

Cool Monte.


My second car was a (real) '57 BelAir 2-door Sedan. All black, with red/black interior. 235 6 cylinder with powerglide under the hood. That 6 popper purred like a kitty.
