Default Monte Carlo w/ Z28 wheels

I know a lot of guys did this back in the day as a cool swap, but I had never seen this factory photo showing Chevy actually considered it...

Not bad looking. I remember finding an SS 454 back in the 80's for sale. It was pretty typical of cars in those days. A few day-2 mods, dings, scratches, needing weatherstripping. Some interior wear and tear. But back then I wanted a 2nd gen Camaro.

The fact that it is an SS454 doesn't hurt either!
