70 Monte Carlo sale question

[Beagle]

I will not buy a red car. Every one I have had got wrecked. No more.

If that sucker had a clutch... I'd be making long distance calls. Even with gold and a tpi.

Groucho - where did the 200 come from? Weird behind a TPI, I thought they were all 700's? ?

[Monk]

I dig the car.....being fom that era, the color combo isn't that bad.
Again, I think the TPI hurts it. Not bashing TPI's, just sayin.

Big bock would be a plus, era correct tach, maybe SS Cragars.
4 speed and I think it would be gone or a TH400.

interesting point - the TPI keeps whispering 245 hp at me. Maybe it's saying 307 2v... Seems like a nice car... maybe something with the 8" in the rear is irritating me with a 245 on it... 275 maybe. Bulge the sidewalls a little. Something is screaming grandma at me and I can't get past it. I really think it's a nice car though.

Hey, at least it's not snot green metallic.

[antmnte]

Lower the front a little . I think that would do it.

Color is why it isn't selling. paint it Black or Red with the proper color interior and it will sell hands down. those are bitchin cars and it smells old lady in that color & engine combo even though it is clean as it sits.

I like gold cars.........thanks Charles

I think the 80's SS Monte Carlo's had 200's in em

Mill or color? Neither. Off topic... Those things are land yachts! Hood the size of a heliport!

Still smaller than a '69-'72 Grand Prix. Or any full-size car from the '60s through the late '70s.


(Gratuitous bitchin photo of the big stockers ... most of which dwarf a Gen I Monte)

Big cars are as American as hot dogs, apple pie and football. And with today's "power adder" technology, they can be very quick and fast! Restore 'em! Live 'em! Love 'em!

[Scott Liggett]

True. But, they still had the longest fan shroud of any GM.
