Re: "Project 72 Monte"

There is no rear axle in it John, it does have a floor shift column in it though with key if you know anyone needing one, non tilt.

Wow Larry congrats on saving another classic.

Other than the little wrinkle looks like a complete solid ride.

Larry with you being pretty much in the heart of Nascar country is there any urge to give it the stock car racer look?

Re: "Project 72 Monte"

Don't know how this one got by me Larry. But I will definitely watch. I know of a fella up in King that has two Montes. One a big block the other I'm not sure about. He's had them restored/ drivable for years. I don't know if he has any parts or if he's still got the cars. But you never know. Glad to see another cool ride saved.

Re: "Project 72 Monte"

Picked up an nos radiator support for 225 yesterday on flea bay, just to inform this is a non reproduced part and becoming very hard to come by one that is worthy of use. And also close enough to home to pick up without having to pay shipping

Cool that you won't have to pay shipping on such a big item.
