My new 82 Monte Carlo

Very nice Monte, but you need to add some pictures of the interior and engine compartment etc.

I agree. I caught a glimpse of what looks like a custom interior in one of the pics. I bet the inside of this car is as nice as the outside.

LOL here ya go! Interior is infact custom. Door panels and seats are a mix of velour and leather. Center consol is custom wrapped in leather. Dash is full autometer.

Looks like you got vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate. Neapolitan is a suitable name lol.

Nice, what the heck, you were holding out on us!

Sweet! I was right, this car is gorgeous inside and out. I love those gauges. I'm guessing that's not the factory 305 dolled up with all those nice parts. What's the story on your engine and transmission?

definitly not. Its a sbc 400 .030 over 406. solid flat tappet cam 244/252 @ .050. super victor intake. edelbrock etec 200cc heads, long tubes full 3" dual exhaust. Holley hp750 carb.
Built th350 with Hurst quarter stick. Built GN rear with moser axles and 3.42s. Boxed lowers and adjustable uppers.

Nice. It should definitely have some "pep". I have a TH350 in my 86 Monte but I have 2.73 gears in the rear. You're probably cranking some high RPM's on the highway.

Not really. around 2400rpm at 55-60. I have a 28" tall tire. Makes the gear less than a stock 25-26" tire. going with 4.11s over the winter. Previous owner said it did the 1/4 in 12.0. Around 475hp at the crank.

Cool. That works out pretty good then.
