I don't know much about cars but it sure is pretty. Just curious but if it was mint, why did she have it re done?

Wow! I guess she wants it for another 33 years? Beautifully done. Fran

Lori- although it was technically mint, it wasn't 100% flawless. It didn't shine exactly like she wanted it to, and the inside was in near perfect condition but didn't look new. She wanted it to look like it just rolled out of the factory, and I'd say that it may look even better than that. She knew exaxctly what she wanted, so she got it!

I've had a '74, '75, and '76 monte. The '75 had a LS6 454. They are awsome cars.

I remember when you could still get the LS-6 in a crate for $2,500. I wish that I could go back and get 10 of them. With the proper tuning and ignition, nothing would beat them! Besides, they sounded mean. ;D

Sweet ride!! I love it. That's what I learned to drive in at Colonial High in Drivers Ed class. Those cars just glided along the road. Thanks for sharing Randy. You made me feel old!! LOL

Tonja- funny, you and I both learn to drive a car on the same course, probably in the same classroom. Did you take the summer class? Oh, I learned in a Monte Carlo too, but a later year. ;D lol

Here are a few more. This is one of 9200 built. 400 SB V8, TH350 auto, and believe it or not, 2.73 gears in a 10-bolt rear. Original wheels, Turbine II's. They used to be gold, but I masked them off and painted them black instead. It sits quietly in my garage until one day I win the lottery and can afford to pull the body off the frame, fix all the body rot and find parts for it...and build a blown 502 for it...lol This was right before I pushed 'er into the garage.

BTW, this is the car that made NASCAR impose the restrictor plate rules in the 70's, IIRC. Lagunas won so many races that they had to make them use restrictor plates to even things out. lol
