The Good Stuff
Chevrolet 305 cid V8 engine
  Original 4-Speed standard transmission

  F41 Heavy duty suspension package
  P/S, P/Brk, and A/C delete
  Stock AM Radio
  Bucket seats with vinyl trim and center console
  "The only changes to the car are the Monte Carlo SS rims and a McLeod Clutch. 
Unfortunately I have the car in storage now at my fathers house since I moved
to Detroit to work for the General.   Detroit winters are rough on these
cars!   The picture was taken just before I put the car away.   We bought the
car from of all places a Jaguar dealer who had taken it in on trade for a new
Jag.   The dealer told us the owner was 82 years old and the original owner! 
He could not press the clutch anymore (we could tell! we had to put a new
clutch in right away!).  The car only needs a paint job, as it sat out for a
few years and spider-cracked the metallic brown paint.  Outside of that the
car is a blast to drive.  It is like night and day from my beater 'bu with a
305/auto trans combo."

 

Future Plans
"[He will install] a 350 in such a way that it looks stock (Sleepers Rule)."
