Cool car in great color combo...need to look close at body and potential rust issues, but certainly worth a peek.

The ad has a comment section discussing the 330hp rating, claiming it was like an L-34 motor, NO!
The LS-3 was the 402 version of the L-35 396. Low lift cam and nodular iron crankshaft. I'm sure the carb. and distributor timing were likely different as well.

Worked on a lot of Montes at the Chevron station in high school...those fan shrouds were the size of 30 gallon oil barrels :wink:

Chevy's Grand Prix! Can you imagine if they offered the LS6 in the Monte.?

Any 4spd Monte is a rare one!

I had an L48/M20 '70 Monte several years ago. Black, black vinyl top, Saddle interior. Buckets, console, tach, 3.31 open rear. Fremont car with a build sheet on top of the gas tank. Would have been a neat car restored. It was a project car that someone had parted out before I got it... sold it to someone in South Dakota planning to restore, no idea if it was ever finished.

If real, this is the money shot:
