Thanks for the pictures Seth, I’m sure Cade will see it at some point. I remember when those things covered the earth. From the looks of it that’s a 2.8 V6 car……I also remember laughing at them back in my V8 Pinto days. Of course then again I remember building the one on page 1 of this thread some years ago too.

Speaking of oldies but goodies it looks like this one is going to get a second (third ?) lease on a new life.


75 Monza by M Patterson, on Flickr


It belongs(ed) to a friend of mine and it looks like it’s going to a 20 year old friend of his. It’s a 75 Monza that was an original 4.3 (262 CI) small block V8 car/automatic car. It currently has a (blown?) 283, ladder bars and a rear end of unknown origin in it. A few local guys still remember the car as being a reasonably stout street racer back in the day.

It’s going with a 350, set of Mirage rear fender flair, new headers, and the centerlines. I also suspect there are about 3 of us old guys that will be making a few donations of parts and (unsolicited) advice to the young man.

Does my old heart good to see some of the less popular old cars being projects again. It makes me real happy to see another generation dipping their toes in the hot rod pool too.
