The 71 is coming home from Dad's on Sunday. I signed the lease on a 4 car garage a few miles from my new house. So the Montes will have a new home. And the Camaro will be there for the winter. I will take pictures when the car is home and post them up here for anyone interested. We don't even know the extent of the neglect yet so this should be interesting.

Lol yeah, Mom reclaimed it as hers. My brother and I found 2 big blocks in Dad's parts shed... a 396 and a 454. So now Mom has claimed the 454 for her Monte. The 350 that's in it just isn't enough, lol!

Oh wow!!! She has lots of potential!!! When you get a chance, start making a list of parts that it needs and I'll keep an eye open for stuff at the yards and the swap meets.

I agree ... I've seen worse. I, too, think that '71 has a lot of potential ... a lot of room to have some fun and get it looking great again. And, looks like you'll get some help with parts from the "Monte Hunters" .
