What Generation is your Monte ? - Page 3

You cant even get a 06 or 07 Monte Carlo booklet at the dealer
The other day when I was waiting on mine to be serviced I walked in the show room and they had posters up, every model on the show room floor
EXPECT FOR THE MONTE...... NOT ONE POSTER, NOT ONE CAR ON THE SHOW ROOM FLOOR,
In fact they only had one 07 Monte on the lot.....
What a shame.....
Impala is a great family car..... IT IS NOT A SPORTS CAR

1979 white with red landau top, all red int. w/ buckets and console shift. 305 small block with stock rear end, new suspension.  I love the front end of this car, but I'm not gonna lie, for me 4th gen monte's are where its at.  I would love one, but hey, this is better than a prelude.

if you have a 79 with the factory buckets and center councial what every you do dont ret rid of it LOL
I have been looking for years for a 78 like this and the T-Tops in it. it is basicaly my Unicorn.

Really??  I have the '06 and '07 booklets at home..  my dealer here has them...  and has 1 posterboard of a Monte on the wall... 

here's where you can get all of the "Official" GM Monte Carlo posters:

And there's a limited edition Team Monte Carlo poster, with all the Nascar Monte's...

Team Monte Carlo

Currently have 2006 SS laser blue with silver ground effects,ebony leather interior.Previous Monte Carlos owned were 2000 SS black with black leather interior and 1985 SS dark maroon with matching maroon interior.

Look at that the team poster..... that poster was done in 2000-2001 before Earnhardt dead....
 
Acording to my dealer they are no pushing the Monte because the demand for her is not there....
I think if Chevy would read what people are asking for the Monte Carlo would have a long life...
Also think what NASCAR is doing..... Dodge, Ford and Toyota all run 4 door sedans, According
to NASCAR the Monte has the upper hand with the best aero dynamtic car out there....
So to make it more of an even playing field Chevy agreed to use the Impala for NASCAR Car Of Tomorrow
(COT in Nascar terms).
The Monte has set many records in Nascar. No other car company can come close.... Do the math, add it up
and see what you come up with....
 
As far as getting a booklet, I had to order my 06. I even downloaded it off line before I started dealing with the dealer
to buy the car...

pushing those or not OUCH!! 190 euro? tha tis like 200.00 for a poster? nah i dont see me getting one any time soon. I will have to get one of the downloaded versions for .99cents a poster (J/K LOL )

yeah, the stuff is pretty steep - that's why I don't have any - LOL...  but at least they're consistent with their sticker-shock!!  

yeah no kidding but they really need to think of somthign diffrent to try and rake you over the coals for.
 
i can pay a Harley payment for that price LOL
 

Awww man, where is all my 3rd generation monte owners at? Anyways gotta love the Monte's! here is some pictures of some of my Monte's (all 3rd gen)

1st one is a keeper 79

2nd one is a 78 sold last year

3rd one is a 79 landau edition about to be put on a raffle 51,000 original miles ($20 each ticket)

MAN I'M LIKE SOOOOOOOO JEALOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
i wouldnt mind any of them but then im a fan of those years also .

Where can we purchase the tickets at?

Hey alright, another 3rd gen. monte owner!  I was starting to think I was one of the last of a dying breed.  I like the ride, The silver looks quite nice on the '79.  Are those chrome bumber inserts the real deal or are they just stick on aftermarkets?

i thought i saw some place that they had come out with a reman of those  strips.
 
Or are they stick ons? I havent seen any up close so i can say for sure they are not stick ons.
