    Thoughts on inverted down pipes ?

    I saw that picture so thought it was what you went with, but wasn't sure. They look good and as others said...a lot of exotics have them this way..and since the C4 has similar looks to some, it's not out of place for those quad tail pipes. If it was good for Ferrari, Lamborgini, Porsche and...

    Thoughts on inverted down pipes ?

    OK so my .02 cents fwiw. I have seen other cars locally at shows with turn downs staright to the ground as the 1 picture depicted. Those might look cool, might sound ok...BUT...in a bit of a dusty parking lot they stir up a lot of dust which others then get all over there cars. A slight angle...

    Aaron yes Canuck...great forum advocate! As for the 402 4spd not saying there are not any but from old timers here who worked on the line building them from the start none of them remembers ever building or seeing a 4 spd 402 and I've never seen 1 in person..so they must be rare. Someone stated...

    Graham I am familar with that car (Misty) and I am a member of FGMCC been a member for years. But not on much of late. I wanted to attend Carlisle PA event but the timing has not been right to both attend or take my 1st Gen to it. Your Son's name escapes me right now but I've read and had...

    You are correct. The SS Monte Carlo was a 454 car. They apparently (but no solid evidence) had a 402 which was a 396 punched out. The ONLY way to know 100% for sure a Monte was an SS (70-71) was if it had factory Air Ride suspension in the rear with the compressor on the drivers side plastic...

    Thanks appreciate the welcome. The Monte Carlo was introduced and marketed as a personal luxury car. It was inexpensive but classy as some of the ads stated from the time. Problem was it came out AFTER the Pontiac Grand Prix which had a jump on it for rivals so it got more attention and launched...

    Thanks it's my favorite year body style wise of all the Monte Carlo's. A friend has a 1980 that was a V6 Turbo car but now has a 350 under the hood. He is in Scarbourgh Ont. A nice T top black one. Small during those years. I've put some work into it under the hood and some interior refinements...

    Ah yes the 77 first year for the TR7 style steering column. Mine is a 76 and it's as close to MINT for a DRIVER I can think of. I purchased it last Spring (MARCH) and I have air shocks to put into it to prop up the rear. New shocks and leaf spring by the former owner didn't solve the SQUAT they...
