Ever since Deanna and I went to the NMCOA Nationals in Greensburgh PA. I wanted our 71 Monte back. It was our first car together in high school. I looked at ads for a while and got a tatoo of a 71 Monte crest instead. This year we went to the nationals  in Collinsville ILL, and the NMCOA minimeet in Fort Wayne IN. but it was the trip to the Summit show that made me want the 71 bad. I looked at a few that were listed for 6K to 7k and they were nice but still needed work. I then started to take a look at some lower priced cars that needed some work, work that I can do and be done right. I would say this is a great barn yard find but it was in a garage. LOL. The car was in the same family since 1972.  I hope that I can get some advice and tips on finding parts from you all. Well here she is!!










I wonder where this car has gone






power glide

Y pipe??? Not for long!!!
