About

This is my 1972 Chevy Monte Carlo I have owned for the past 12 years. I built the 454 and the 400 trans. for it in 2005.Did all the body work on it in 2006 and finally built the rear end in 2007.
It runs a 8.6 at 80 mph in the 1/8th mile. I am guessing its around 400 HP never had it dyno. Overall its a fun car to drive and play with.
