Custom Monte Carlos--'77 and '97

That 97 is AWESOME! I wish they made a kit of one, instead of just the promos. And they actually do or did have quite a following. Many got modded with supercharged 3.8's, or 3.4's. One even got a Northstar. Unfortunately the aftermarket companies don't make much for them.

I have a '97 I have been driving since '99. :rolleyes: It's seen better days, but it's still a great car.

Really, never been a fan of the 2.8-3.4 engine family (Dad had a really bad 2.8l powered Pontiac 6000 for a few years too long) but the 3.8's would be a pretty nice looking swap (and factory looking enough to fool somebody if you'r so inclined ;) , but that Northstar powered one must run pretty dang good!

Actually the 98 and 99 Monte Carlo and Lumina 's Z34's came factory with the 3.8.

The mod is the supercharger, and etc.
