That is cool! Reminds me of when my parents picked up their brand new 70 MC. It was our family car!

When I was a kid growing up, the guy a couple of streets over had one of these - red with black VT. He also had a 70 Chevelle SS 396. When he blew the motor up in the Chevelle, he swapped the motor over from the Monte.

Those cars have one of the longest radiator fan shrouds I have ever seen. You could easily fit a V12 in one of those cars.

My uncle owned one of these... yellow with black vinyl and guts. I spent some good times in that passenger seat.

I'd like to see this car with a stick... and some vintage torque thrusts! Wonder what size tire those rear wheel openings will take?

I don't remember why but GM never made an SS454 with a 4sp. Anyone know?

how many 70 4spd montes did they make?

Can't answer that, but IIRC a 4 speed could be had with a 402 big block?
