This car I have been working on for the past 10 years. I had every intention to finish and enjoy. My family and I have fallen on hard times and forced to sell. I bought the car with the intention to take off the road and rebuild. I drove it a dozen times and garaged it. I completely dismantled the car to a bare body on a bare frame. The restoration began. New body mounts, new coil springs, new shocks, rebuilt front upper and lower control arms, all front steering links that are wear items minus steering box, front sway bar bushings, rear upper and lower control arm bushings. I replaced the original rear axle withe a 3.73 posi from another g-body. Related front rotors, pads and calipers. Replaced master cylinder and brake booster. Replaced rear wheel cylinders and bled brakes. The transmission I rebuilt. The engine is a 350 small block 4 bolt, with Hooker headers, Edlebrock intake, Holly 4 barrel carb, new distributer, water and fuel pump. The body had some damage on the right rear quarter next to tail light and behind right side door. The lower right side door skin was replaced. The body otherwise was in good shape. I replaced the mirrors with others from another late model Monte. The only thing I kept in the interior was the tilt steering column. The steering wheel is a refurbished Grand National steering wheel. The dash, seats, center console are all from later model Montes. I recovered all the seats with a kit for a Buick Regal T-Type. This car now has a heater delete panel. I had no intention of useing the A/C or heat. The interior wiring, engine wiring, forward lamp wiring needs to be installed. The fuel system, hoses, need to be hooked up. This car was garaged for most of the time i had it. I was a GM dealer trained tech for 18 years, I know what Im doing. I had every intention of driving this car with my family. Circumstances out of my control dictate i must sell. I only hope it goes to a good home. Good luck.
