      Pro Touring First Gen Monte Carlo's?

      Anyone have a first gen monte carlo 1970-1972 or have any pics of some done up?

      GTO, 2009 Camaro or maybe a pro-touring machine? Only time will tell. The Nova for now!

      Totally underrated car...Good for you! Had a 72 and LOVED it! I'll be buying one and giving it the PT treatment when the Nova's done.

      I am just getting started on a 70 Chevelle, basically the same car. AirRide has a killer suspension set up that I will be using. Plenty of rear wheelwell clearance on this cars too, so you can get up to a 305 under it if you are careful.

      I think a 70-72 PT Monte Carlo would look fantastic.

      Should be cool. It's just a GM A-body with a longer wheelbase. Better balanced to boot as the engine sits further back from the front wheels.

      This question always seems to be asked about every 6 months and nobody has stepped up and done it.

      I have a 72 MC that I would give my left _ _ _ to get all PT's out like SEMA style.

      Ive heard from a few people tat they actually handle better then a Chevelle since the motor is further back.

      Heck has anyone ever looked under the long hood. I think it may be possable to fit 2 V8's in it.

      I just can decide on the PERFECT engine to put in it. It definetly needs a Big Block. I wish GM would make a sweet LSX style all alumimun Big Block with 600+tq. Not some high reving large displacement small block like a LS7, but a big torquey big block that will lift the front tires on a MC and still get deacent mpg like a LSX...

      I even have a LS1/TH400 combo sitting in my garage but I feel that all Monte Carlos need a big block....

      Yeah, the 350 mine had looked microscopic in that engine compartment. I used to sit on the inner edge of the fender to work on it with the hood still on. There was so much room to work on everything, it was great.

      You will probably have better luck finding first gen MC's in the "Donk" mags.
