Re: Original Owner 70 Monte Carlo SS454
Rick,
I'll look tonight when I take pictures. Somebody else wants to see pictures so I'll have SS427 post them here when I'm done. I don't know how to do it! I borrowed a digital camera from a friend. I hope I remember how to use it and I hope the pictures turn out. Hopefully later tonight. Ron [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

Re: Original Owner 70 Monte Carlo SS454
Here's the cowl tag info. Maybe somebody can help decode it. I'm not up on my Monte stuff sorry.
This is a real SS454 car in case you are confused. He had somebody else's build sheet in his car. His car is NOT a 350 small block car. Somehow, a different car's build sheet wound up in his car! ST 70 13857 BL 08302 BDY TR 757 25 B PNT 10B 143910 1000196 Here's what I decoded. 13857 (V8 Monte 2-door sport coupe) BL (Van Nuys, California) 757 (Black vinyl bucket seats) 25 (Astro Blue), B (Black Vinyl top) 10B (2nd week of October 69) The others I don't know! Pictures to follow. Ron [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

Re: Original Owner 70 Monte Carlo SS454
Ron,I might be interested in the monte. I can see the car needs total restoration but looks like it is all there. I would like to know the options on the car. If owner wants a fair price and has build sheet, maybe we can make a deal. gary t.

Re: Original Owner 70 Monte Carlo SS454
IF THAT CAR IS NOT SOLD IN 3 YEARS THEN SOMETHING IS WRONG!

Re: Original Owner 70 Monte Carlo SS454
[quote He had somebody else's build sheet in his car.
One thing pops into my mind on that subject. Way back in the '70's when I was a used car dealer and a car came in with a split or raged out seats we would go to the local boneyard and get a nice set out of a wreck to make the car sell better. So that could be one way that could explain the different build sheet especially if the date is way off from the car in question. This was a std practice in the used car business and is still done I am sure. Pantera

Re: Original Owner 70 Monte Carlo SS454
It is also very common to have a build sheet in one car from another car that was on the assembly line around the same time. There are members here who have sent me LS-6 build sheets as well as up to Three sheets from the same number of other cars on the line that they found in their car with their sheet so it is not that rare.
