Ok, guys I have a couple pics from when I first bought the car about 6 months ago. I paid $1,800 for it the way it sits in pictures it came with buckets and center console too. The pics are not that good but it's all I have for now. since my camera went belly up but I plan on buying a new one soon.

changes that have been since these pics are..
removal of the vinyl top
all interior swapped for black all complete now accept for my seats
stereo install consisting of..
sony head unit
zapco amp for my subs
sony amp for my highs
(2) 15" kicker comp vr's dual voice coil 2 ohm
(2) 4x9 3 way kenwoods in rear deck
5 1/4" sony 3 ways in the kick panels

soon as I can track down the outter trim for my quarter windows I'm going to begin getting the car ready for paint not sure what color yet but I'm thinking a silver.

the 305 v8 is still running solid as can be so it will stay for now.

well anyways I could keep going forever but I will post some pics. like I said the pics suck but its all I have for now.

Not to bad. I like the red. I don't see many red Monte Carlos. I LIKE IT!!I like the wheels also.That car would look wicked candy apple red.
