Default Re: 1970 Monte Carlo GM letter-Dealer Accessories Book

Nope. Red exterior, black interior, black top and no stripes. He used a cutlass body shell and an A-body convertible frame and extended the nose of the frame using his original frame. The rear door panels and seat cover were custom made. It would be VERY hard to tell this was not made at GM as he tried to do exactly like GM would have and cut no corners. I personally felt he should have put an LS5 in it instead of an LS6 but whatever. If I recall, he put the SS454 rocker moldings on it is well but not positive. I had found a photo of it on the net a few years ago but could not find it today. It was sold at an auction 5-8 years ago if I recall. Brought pretty good money in my opinion.
