Hey all -

I just bought a 72 Monte parts car for a song, and I'll be picking it up next week. I was wondering how much of the jack assembly, if anything, is the same as a 72 Chevelle. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!

everything should be the same, except for the bumper hook

Hey Mr. 70 Monte Carlo or any Gen1 Monte Carlo officianado out there. Any ideas where I can get a QUALIY black vinyl top for my '72 MC?

I know alot of the aftermarket guys carry this stuff and I suspect that they are all from the same supplier but I am not sure.

Looking to find a one piece unit like the original and I gotta get the exact grain replacement. Had the top replaced once and am not really satisfied with the outcome.

I waited almost a year for CARS to make me a set of "cloth" seat covers to match the original material EXACTLY but have yet to score a top. Any help and / or comments would be appreciated. BTW the CARS seat covers were worth the wait, great qualify, great fit and the EXACT fabric match.

I agree about the jack / bumper hook. When I bought my car in '73 I recall thinking "Boy that bumper hook is a monster"

Any good Gen 1 forums / clubs and or parts sources out there? I have had my car since 73 and some of the M.C. specific stuff is gettin hard to find (like the vinyl and seat covers) so I am always looking for sources / contacts. Obviously most "hardware" interchanges with the Chevelle but trim and body parts are as you know a very different matter.
