Jim's New SS
Permalink Closed


My friend that owns that chevelle i did all the work on paid $1,500.00 for this Monte for me. He bought it for me in trade for working on his 1967 Firebird that i have in my garage.

I think i'll get this painted and swap my drivetrain and some of the interior over. the body on this is way better then mine. the qtrs are solid and i looked at the mounts and frame and are all solid. the car has been sitting in Cherry Hill NJ for the past 10yrs without moving. so the left rear passenger's floor is a bit rotted. other then that not rot. the truck in very solid as well as the tire well. onle has 89k on it. drivers fender has a big dent but it's not creased so i think i can get most of the dent out. the car did come with a new aftermarket fender as well in the back seat.

the nose is in very nice shape.

my car needs painting and other body work anyway and my nose is junk...so i'll swap things to this one, but not right away.

 Tim i haven't even sat in the car yet....i heard it run at my friends house and he said how much should i offer the guy. i told him $1,500.00 max. he started at a $1,000.00 but the guy wouldn't take it. so he got it for me at $1,500.00.

the interior is junk it's all faded and there is a rip on the side of the drivers seat and the console is beat...

Very nice, Jim!  Looks like a great project, T-tops, too!

 

And ... this the same guy that I met last year, the one with the Chevelle and the new Camaro?
