I have owned about 40 imports in my life and only 3 domestics. One being a SVT Lightning, The other being a 03 SS Monte Carlo and NOW a 1979 Monte Carlo. I just picked it up from my friend's co-worker that had it sitting for about 6 months and gave up on it. It has been lowered the cheap way and it sitting on 13" wire wheels. The interior is in excellent shape and the motor cranks and purrs like a kitten. the only truely bad issue with it is the frame is rusted pretty badly. I paid 300 bux for it. I have posted a FRAME question in the MONTE forum. NOW that I have it, I want to bring it back to it's glory days. I'll be sure to be frequenting this site from now on...
