[QUOTE="ve3hzz, post: 124647, member: 3936"] Thanks appreciate the welcome. The Monte Carlo was introduced and marketed as a personal luxury car. It was inexpensive but classy as some of the ads stated from the time. Problem was it came out AFTER the Pontiac Grand Prix which had a jump on it for rivals so it got more attention and launched as a 69 model. Even though the Monte Carlo was launchs in September of 1969 with a few build late August that year it was a 70 model. Mine was an Sept 69 build and with the vinyl top was a "halo" roof car where the trim goes up near and around the front with some chrome and paint at the leading edge of the roof. More rare as after April 70 they stopped and took the vinyl to the windshield to elminate trim and save a few $ on chrome...typical GM. So I plan on keeping the vinyl roof but it's in need of replacement now. Nice Z06 BTW they were my other late gen favorites. Mine first love of Corvette's is a 63-67 then the 68-72 but I like them all mostly..ok well not the 74-77 years I have to be honest those are my least favorite but I can still find things I like about them...74 least of all and maybe someday it will be a collectors item LOL...just like a C4 maybe??
