    Wow, just run across this. I'm one of the engineers at UMI and I drive this car most of the time at autocross and road race events. It now has 315/35-18's on all four corners and 520 rwhp from a Dart/AFR/Conklin 427 SBC. Thanks for making this video!

    It has been a pleasure watching this video... I owned a 1980 monte with a v6 and transformed it to a 350 4 bolt main monster 600 cfm edelbrock with intake manifold mid rise The last thing I did was put 373 gears on diff but I wish I would have put a posi unit on there because Even though my limited was rebuilt it was sometimes 2 tire fire. I was young and married and stupid so I sold it for $250.00 because it required electrical work due to headers burning ignition wire all the way into the fire wall. Mine was a midnight metallic blue with 15in wide wheels in the back and skinnies in the front. I wish I would have had bucket seats converted to stick shift and posi tract also maybe supercharged. I still dream of me driving that car. But seeing your video makes me feel so much better knowing I wasn’t the only one with the same vision 1980 hot rod monte

    I'm constantly trying to find one of these with the Landau package for my dad, he had one a little ng time ago and had to leave it in one spot for a bit while he moved to somewhere else as he didn't and couldn't afford transport for it, however when he went to get it back it had been stolen his was in Burgundy red and had (if I remember correctly) a 454 ripped out of a old El Camino with a 4 speed manual and he had old school steelies on it as well which he can't even remember what exactly they were as I wasn't even though of at the time and he hadn't even met my mom, but that car was his favorite and his most cherished car he ever owned even including his current baby which is appropriately named "The Beast" and it's a 1992 C1500 extended cab long bed with a very powerful 350, yet he always says if he could he would trade his beast in a instant for his old Monte Carlo so I have made it my mission to find one that is a 1979 model and that has the Landau package and put a modern 454 big block with a T56 Super Magnum in it for it and not tell him a damn thing about it
