The Story
That's my 80 Monte Carlo, my pride
and joy. She'll give you a hell of a ride if you can controll
her. What started out as a minor upgrade ended up as a beast. I
puchased the Monte in the fall of 97 for $200. It wasn't a
classic or antique, It was just my first car. It origanly came
with a V6 229, that was in bad shape. With over 300,000 miles on
the odometer, burnning 3 quarts of oil a week, and the power of
lawn mower I decided to rebuild the 6. After raising moneny to
build the 6, my father came upon a not so bad shape 305. The
plans were to build an economy V8, but after being retired for 20
years since the "Hot Rod Days", he just had the urge to
build a power house.
Three day's before the V8 could be installed the V6 finally died
on the way home from school, with 331,992 on the odometer. A few
months later the Beast rolled from the barn after extensive
sugery. We were so proud, when the neigbors were calling
complaining about the noise. A month later I spent half the
summer sanding and primming the car. A week later my father
painted the whole car "Bad Boy Black". The photo's show
the present car as of 9/2/98 but I'm sure it's apperance will
change ounce I get some money for some rims. You may say Hot Rods
don't exist anymore but this one is.
I'm currently in the process of
transfering the monte into a full fled race car. I'm in the
process of upgrading my interior. I plan to swap rear end soon if
the weather permits. I'm going to a lower gear.
