Welcome to the GBodyForum!
Wow, Switzerland! Your Monte Carlo looks to be in really nice shape. It must be a real head turner there being an American Old School vehicle. I'm sure if you post a list of things you need there will be some guys here with the parts however, I'm sure shipping will be a killer. Good Luck with your build. We all would like to see your progress.
thank you and oh yes, everyone is looking always when i drive by, but there are also many other american classic cars on the road there in switzerland during summertime, we got quite a big community here as well that collects them

That's a slick Monte, and I do love red interior! I'm glad to see that people so far from us enjoy these old cars so much and take such good care of them. We're glad to have you aboard the forum, welcome home.

It sounds like you might need to organize an American Classic Car Show this summer. And of course, get pictures.

Agreed! Super clean interior. Power windows & Rallye gauges w/what looks to be a crack-free dash! Cha-ching.....

thank you, yes the red is a really nice color and adds to the interior. here in europe we have a lot of american cars that we take care of and try to preserve and keep original as much as possible. the love for american cars here in switzerland goes back all the way to the 50s where we had 2 switzerland car factories putting together american cars, chrysler coporation would send the parts to the factory and they would be built there and sold to the swiss public, mostly valiants but also imperials, today, those swiss built american cars are worth a fortune here
