Garage - The "FULL MONTE"
STUMPMI
January 18, 2012
Description:
Sorry the pics are from my phone...But it still looks great for being 12yrs old.....I use to show it at a lot of hot rod shows(local, National) ... received many trophys and dash plaques to show for my efforts....Even received an award from The Detroit Auto Show at cobo hall !!!
Its now the mrs daily driver....and still rides and drives like bran new.....All total invested to include purchase price from the dealer....Just a tick over 40 thousand dollars !!!! Hope you like it!
This is its current condition today 1-18-2012..Taken today....So Enjoy!
Heres a tidbit i thought you would enjoy...when this body style came out it was the first of its kind... Since I ordered it with all the trim and lettering blacked out.....(you could still read that it was a Monte Carlo)....My guess is they didnt take the time to read what it was....They would ask me..Hey what kind of car is it?....I'd have to point it out and say look right here its a MonteCarlo! I use to get the biggest chuckle out of it..seemes that most every show i went to... Id get that same question over and over....Like i said before in the details..This was actually the "first" MonteCarlo with this body style for 1999 in Michigan...Seems kinda fitting..even though it was actually built in 1998 and delivered to me in 1998 as well...But still funny!
I plan on useing a better Camera and give you good pics of all the graphics etc....soon! So you can better appreciate all the amenities....
