Monte Stories:

I originally had interest in Monte Carlo's because of how they looked from the rear. I use to have 66/67 Nova's and always loved the vertical tail lights. Since the Monte has a similar tail light, I always though they were a great looking car. In high school all of my friends were into cars. A friends mother had a 454 SS. We use to ride around in it. She wanted to sell it to one of us. But, non of us wanted it because it was a big block. Too much gas!!!! She wanted 800.00 bucks!!!! Ever since then I had said one day I will get a Monte Carlo. To date I have had over 60+ hot rods and I never owned a car longer than about 2 1/2 years. I bough my Monte in 1998 and it has been the only hot rod and the longest I have ever owned a car. Since then the Monte has had a lot done to it. All work has been done by myself.
