This one had the swiveling buckets, very nice, I think the 400 was swapped, I don’t remember these having that engine past 73-74, owned a 77 landau, it came with a 350, and am aware that many came with 305’s. There are not enough of these left.
Amazing, I'd kill to find a rust free old sled like that around here. And I agree about the condition too, the perfect daily driver to actually enjoy. Okay, I'd keep it out of the salt at least.
Nice! I have never seen a Monte with a sunroof. Was it installed at the factory or was asc involved? I seem to remember a handful of GM cars which had a sunroof as an official option, where the actual install was done by asc.
Lynn agrees with Erik, a high option car like this deserves a re-spray and NOT with a rattle can….
Absolutely!
+1 for a quality respray.
A third Monte Carlo wouldn’t bother me, keep them coming!
That’s a brave man opening the sunroof. More photos please, once Jason cleans this one up.
Love it. Though I would want to give it an original colour respray. It’s so nice that it’s deserving of it.
It needs an Edelbrock efi system, some of their heads and a 4 muffler exhaust to keep it quiet… then it’ll cruise and get naughty when you wanna.
SWEET ! .
I hope he re sprays it or figures out how to hide the roof rust .
I wonder if he'll be able to resurrect the AC to boot .
Not many left like this .
Sadly it's a 1976 so here in smog town it still needs to pass annual emission test .

I may be passed out for a few hours!

You might be right, I recall the 350 was the biggest engine available after '75.
The internet says the last year for the 400 small block was '76.
This is why I need a '76 Monte Carlo brochure.
I do have '75 and '77...
There now!
This generation of Monte Carlo as I remember it!
This car is a good paint job a way from being all there, it seems like it’s worth spending the money on.

I still have fond memories of the 400 two barrel in my 1972 Impala. Thanks for writing this story, Tom.
