Thanks guys! Got her home last night now the fun stuff begins! Getting her back to her original glory. Found the P.O.P and original selling invoice. She traded in a 66 LeMans 2 door Post coupe for the car on 10/25/71. Will get more pics up soon.

We had an Oldsmobile 442 the same GM color, ours was a 1972. The Burnt Orange was what Chevrolet called their orange in 1972. With a sale date of 10/25/71 and the color looking very much like the 1972 GM orange, are you sure the Monte Carlo you bought is not a 1972?

1972 orange was different. It was a one year color pnt code 65, Orange flame, used across all divisions, less Caddy ? Very different from 1971 burnt orange, pnt code 62.

Nice gem you got there JP. Enjoy!

Car is all 71 72 has a different front grille and bumper. The sale date of the car doesn't mean it is not a 71. It could have been on the lot for some time. It is a very low option car.

Thank you Mockingbird!

Dads Monte has come along way! Exterior body wise we have just cleaned it and rubbed it out. He added the 17 inch all aluminum rally wheels, New exhaust with the Trans Am style dual drop down tips, UMI front and rear suspension. New gas tank and lines. The interior front and rear cloth seat covers were too stained to repair so he swapped the cover with new vinyl covers. The rest of the interior is all original. He added the tint to the windows. Engine wise we just cleaned up the bay and block. Rebuilt the 2bbl and just been enjoying it. Cant wait for this spring/summer here in MI

Great job!
