Monte Carlo

I saw this today. It looked pretty nice other than the rattle can “touch ups” all over it.

Looks like it would be a pretty easy project to restore if there's no bad cancer! Nice car, Nick.

We cut apart so many of those building dirt track cars….I feel bad about now! We would pick them up off the classifieds for 500-1000 bucks, buddy was a certified welder and we had access to a bender. We could get a car ready for novice class for under 2,000 bucks.

A lot of those around here had bad rot right in front of the rear tires!

Me too Aaron, along with first and second gen Monte Carlo's, Buick GN's and even '55-57 Chevy's! One of the first gen Monte's I cut up was a big block Super Sport! I still have the fender badges from that one.

Stick one of your business cards under his wiper Nick....
They are a desirable body style along with the Olds and Buick.

I would like an 80's SS monte, loved that body style of those years.

I was at a race Friday, and I was thinking about that while watching the Road Runners. They are pretty much all Monte Carlo’s and Novas. How many of them probably started out as nice cars. They are fun to watch, and I’m sure they are fun to race, but it’s sad seeing old cars get cut up.

A lot of the sanctioning bodies like WISSOTA and IMCA are allowing steel aftermarket body panels now since the cars are getting so hard to find. Performance Bodies that has been around a million years is one of them making steel panels.
