1st Gen Chevrolet Monte Carlo & it still looks great
Proof, that if you take care of your Monte Carlo that it
will give you many great years of ownership and
driving pleasure..

Jeff Heldt and his dad Jim owned early Montes back in the day, so it only made sense that their new project would be of that ilk. The duo's '70 came to them in running condition with 23,000 original miles and no rust. On the other hand, rodents were living in the interior, so the Monte became known as Mighty Mouse and the inner digs were promptly gutted and rehabbed. The Heldts continued by pulling the car's original 250-horse 350 and replacing it with a 325-pony 355. This Monte also sported a 2.78:1 Tempest rearend (thanks to GM strikes, Jeff tells us); it was replaced with a stouter 3.55:1-geared diff. A rebuilt suspension and 17-inch Boyd Coddington wheels completed the transformation...for now. The future calls for a 200-4R tranny swap and a complete body restoration.

Morning All,
Nice cool start to the day. Makes for a nice ride to work. Got cool enough last night to sleep with the bedroom windows open.
Beautiful 1st Gen Monte, Space. Don't see many like that on the road.

The sun has been playing hide-n-seek the last couple of days and has been hiding behind the rain clouds so we haven't seen much of it. Moderate rain and wind gusts are in the forecast for today with temp in the 50s.
