Thread: I'm Back

Charlie sold his ferrari. the cost of upkeep was way higher than expected. out of the money he got for the ferrari he brought a 2005 cadillac ctsv. He then tells me to find my old monte. I told him that i know where it is and the guy that has it has cut it up to make a drag car out of it. So he told me to find another. Below is the link to the one i found and we are going to pick it up saturday. I am so happy. Still working out in my head what all i want to do with it. so many possibilities. would really appreciate what you guys think.
70 Monte Carlo street/strip roller.... fs/ft

Good to see ya back in the Fold, Barb, but if I was a real friend I'd try and talk you outa buying more old tin, huh? good luck with the find.

meller

Go for it Barb

Not a bad looking old Monte Barb! Welcome back!

Welcome back, Barb! It will be good to see you working through the decision process on how this one needs to be done. How about a nice crate engine - Ford Racing Performance Parts Crate Engines

thanks roger for the link but i think that engine would be sacrilegious.

Nice to hear from you, Barb! From what I can see it looks presentable and worth looking into. Keep us informed.

Jim

Congratulations on being BACK into building. Can't wait to see how you handle this one Good Luck and say Hi to Charlie for me

Curious what the plans are Barb.. a cruiser.. or do you want to go racing? Even a little bit.

i am really not keen on a fuel cell. never had one before and want something that has a fuel gauge hooked up. the guy said that it was a 12 gallon jaz cell. would really like to sell the whole setup and get a regular 16 gal. tank. what would a decent asking price for it. my intention is to also get a 70's 350 and do a rebuild kit and put a th400 behind it. do i really need a gear that big in the rear. would like to move the car nicely but not get beat up on the mpg on the interstate.

i will jim. Charlie says hi charlie lol. 3440 what i really want is a car to get groceries but get a little nasty when popping off at a stop light. so the best of both worlds.

I don't need any help in getting into trouble... and I hope she can find a car to do that will haul the groceries as fast as she needs / wants to!

find out how big/tall of tire you can get under the back end and the 4:56 gears may not be so bad .. I ran them for years in one of my V8 pintos with a 33 inch tire in back .. and you will learn pretty quickly how far you can go on 12 gallons of fuel .. I like my 8 gallon cell in my stang just fine ...
