Just picked it up, running and driving, Needs repainted, new headliner, Loaded, everything works....This will be my knock around daily hot rod....I see a New Intake, carb and a few other goodies......John

I'm so envious!

John have you did anything to this yet? I always like these.

I was going to buy a fiberglass one, no fabric to ever fall on your head!

Got it out today, after Edgewater, cleaned it up a bit, read up on the lock up converter, reached under the car and unplugged it, then Vicki and I drove it out to dinner, maybe 35 miles round trip, not 1 time did it stall, carb is a POS, those year Q-Junks suck. A reman unit on eBay 230 so I will buy one and see how it runs, it drives nice, and everthing works, I need better rear speakers, and the AC needs converted to R134 so all and all, I love my Monte!

Nice ride ! I seen a Grand Prix this summer at the Aurora car show with that eurosport style .

Put the old wheels we had on Vicki's camaro today, I put new tires on them a week or so ago....what do you think!!!

nice

cooowlll

seen a tow truck at springfield any luck ?

Everytime I went back over there you was out running John. We was only 3 rows from ya

Yep, sorry I missed is guys, no takers on bubba, I am back there now, so if no luck by noon, I am going home...I got stuff that needs done, gotta are Riggs about that column and get ready for a week in Chicago working, Yuk!

Wasn't thinking about that column or I would have brought it up yesterday with me.

yeah the column is on the porch john. if u get this way today.

The Monte looks snazzy with the Camaro rims on it...glad it found a good home.

Later,

Spent Saturday working on the Monte, bought a brand spanking new Holley 600, electric choke, had many Monte guys tell me to stay with the CCC QuadraJet..after spending $280 buck on a Re-Man unit, and I couldn't drive the car a mile, it would not take-send gas..I got PO'd...installed the Holley, and within 2 seconds, no kidding, 2 seconds, it was puuuuuuuring like a kitten......then another problem popped up, it was ticking...loudly! So I took to a buddy of mines shop..he did a motor flush, said it looks like the PO's NEVER changed the oil, another 250 bucks, but the car is running GREAT, drove it 100 miles today, shifts smooth, and it was a pleasure to drive...needs a Flow Master exhaust system now....here the stock one puffing....so another 500 on it, but its drivable.....

Thinking of going up to Mikes Montes if anybody wants to go, I am going to get the ABS hedliner for her....maybe Thursday or Friday.....if he's open...

I like this

Thanks, drove it anonther 100 miles over the last 2 days, running great, went and bought the new ABS headliner and clips, putting it in tomorrow, like you Butch, I have too many toys, so if I sell it, I sell it...it rides nice, no rattles, everything works.....pix taken today

Hey John do have the original wheels and are they for sale... Thanks Joe 859-991-0681

Yea, I have them, better keep them in case I sell it or show it, can't do the Hamilton antique car parade with mag wheels...but thanks for asking!

Sweet Monte.

Got the new headliner in....

Got about 200 more miles on her, running and driving great, good heat...

I need to get one of those Holley carbs....my Monte has been running VERY rich the last few times I have taken it out. I get the same story from other Monte Carlo owners on those stock carbs.
