@307OLDS Dont know, dont really care. It was my friends car
but he wanted a 74 and had the parts to do it laying around. This was when we were back in high school about 5 years ago. Car was a turd with that sbc in it. It now has a mild big block and has no problem burning down street tires like those from a roll.
Sounds great and looks great. It would have been nice to see the original front end. In my opinion the 76-77 front ends look best from the second gen montes.
You're incorrect, Smar19. The 1976 Monte Carlo was the first year for the dual stacked rectangular headlights. This is a 1977 Monte Carlo with a 1974 Monte Carlo headlight and grill conversion.
76 had dual quads. That was the first year for that. In the description it says this car has a "front end conversion" which means they put on the earlier front clip. That front end is from the 73-75 models.
ebay, unfortunately they dont make repro dashes for the 73-77 a bodies, luckily though, a dash from a 73-77 chevelle, laguna, s-3, el camino or monte carlo will all fit.
nice! im buyin a 77' M.C. from my uncle! i still gotta give him another 600$ its CLEAN as FUCK! but they tranny went out 20 yeas ago! so its been sitting since then in his garage but this Clip gives me sum motivation!
hey I'm expecting to change the front end of my 74 Monte Carlo with the front end of a 76 or 77 MC... I saw eiter you have a 75 MC or you have changed it like you said... do you still have the original front parts?
My car! I had a 77 black w/ red pinstripe, T-tops, red velour interior! My friends called it the batmobile. It was back in my drinking/smoking days, so it did smell a little bit like stale beer and cigarettes. Wish I had that car now.
The 305 wasn't produced in 1973 numb nuts. 77 are UGLY as sin... the 73 is the best looking 2nd Gen Monte Carlo. 74 & 75 are okay, but the squared headlight 76 77 along with their asthematic engines (305 available in 77) are crap.
It is a 77. All he did was put a 73 front end on which you can do since 1973-1977 Monte's are the same body style. I've actually seen this modification before on several 77's.
Man your car and my buddy's car are almost the same exept the front nose :) hehe he just got done putting in his 355 w/ some goodies, when he runs it at the track ill put up some vid... he likes the vids of your monte ALLOT :)
Thanks. I wish I had more videos to post, but I don't right now. My car is faster since those vids were made. I made a 14.676 @ 92.72 a couple weeks ago.

Why would anyone take a 77 Monte Carlo clip off and replace it with a 74? 77 looked so much better.

Cool. I always liked the nose conversions on the '77. Somehow the ribbed 77 tail lights w/ the round head lights seemed right.
