hmmm intresting i never knew that. i suppose at some point my uncle's car probably had an engine swap. the car was totally destroyed by a drunk driver but the engine and 4 speed we're swapped into  a 71 chevelle. it was definitely a 454 so probably an engine swap at some point.

I have a magazine somewhere that did a factory test between the 1970 454SS Chevelle ,El Camino, and Monte Carlo. So yes, your uncles could have been a 454SS Monte.

it was definitely a ss car and it was definitely a 454 and it was a 4 speed car. whether or not it was original motor i couldn't say.

My father had a 1975 Monte Carlo, fire engine red with a white vinyl roof and white interior. It only had a 350 in it, but it had the Rally Wheels. Boy that car looked good from every angle.  When is rusted away (Pennsylvania winters take their toll) Dad was going to ask $800 for it. I told him to hold off and let me do something first. I went out and got steelies for it. Had the tires switched. Sold the Rally Wheels (even the spare was a Rally Wheel!) for $2250 (The spare didn't have a cap or I would have went for more). Now you could get a lot more for those wheels, but Dad was happy selling for getting $3050 instead of just $800.

I know I have some but I haven’t seen them since I moved. I let you know if I find them. Where’s comes to worse I’ll make another mold. I need more of them too!

Do you have more of those wheels?
