Thread: I'm Back

Tweet

Charlie sold his ferrari. the cost of upkeep was way higher than expected. out of the money he got for the ferrari he brought a 2005 cadillac ctsv. He then tells me to find my old monte. I told him that i know where it is and the guy that has it has cut it up to make a drag car out of it. So he told me to find another. Below is the link to the one i found and we are going to pick it up saturday. I am so happy. Still working out in my head what all i want to do with it. so many possibilities. would really appreciate what you guys think.
70 Monte Carlo street/strip roller.... fs/ft

Go for it Barb

Not a bad looking old Monte Barb! Welcome back!

Welcome back, Barb! It will be good to see you working through the decision process on how this one needs to be done. How about a nice crate engine - Ford Racing Performance Parts Crate Engines

thanks roger for the link but i think that engine would be sacrilegious.

Nice to hear from you, Barb! From what I can see it looks presentable and worth looking into. Keep us informed.

Jim

Congratulations on being BACK into building. Can't wait to see how you handle this one Good Luck and say Hi to Charlie for me

Curious what the plans are Barb.. a cruiser.. or do you want to go racing? Even a little bit.

i will jim. Charlie says hi charlie lol. 3440 what i really want is a car to get groceries but get a little nasty when popping off at a stop light. so the best of both worlds.

A grocery getter, you don't want the frozen food getting warm on the way home

i am really not keen on a fuel cell. never had one before and want something that has a fuel gauge hooked up. the guy said that it was a 12 gallon jaz cell. would really like to sell the whole setup and get a regular 16 gal. tank. what would a decent asking price for it. my intention is to also get a 70's 350 and do a rebuild kit and put a th400 behind it. do i really need a gear that big in the rear. would like to move the car nicely but not get beat up on the mpg on the interstate.

Then I'm with EM... I don't see this as "The ONE"... Just my opinion..

Welcome back into the family Barb. I hadn't realized you had sold your last Monte or I must of fallen asleep when all the action happened. I like Meller's comment about buying old tin as to me that orange car is too modern for my liking but we all can't be biten with the same bug or desires and anyway, that is going to be an intersting project for you . Now wasn't you just recently saying it was good to get all that old grease and oily dirty out from under your finger nails ???

yes it was whip but after cleaning my garage out and noticing that i has too much room charlie thought i needed to fill in the space
