Unfortunately yes its done for...I'll have to find a clip then and swap them. Apparently 87 is the first year for that front end?

Yea that front end was pretty much the last hoorah for the monte. All other g-bodies died in 87 but I thought the monte made it to 88 for some reason. Not sure though.

Sorry to hear about the car. What happened if you dont mind?

Actually G-bodies we're axed in 88, with like you said Topher, Monte's and Cutlass' living till then, late 86 has composite lights and all 87. There we're no 88 Regals or Grand Prix. Sorry to hear about the car Monte LS....1 good luck swapping your swap.

Thats right the gutless made it for an extra year too. Instead of the regal go figure... Nice monte but I have to say I have always been partial to the regal and gutless. Then again Im a BOP guy.

some @$$hole pulled out in front of me and in trying to avoid him I had a headon with a pickup truck...guy that pulled out in front of me didnt stick around...only panel I didnt bend up is maybe the passenger door and rear fender and the rear bumper...drivers side framerail is wadded up and pushed almost to the firewall

Found a super sweet 85 ss. Cars like new. Has 73K original miles. everythings original no dents or body work done to it and interior looks new. Been in this guys basement for bout the last 10 years. They bought it brand new here in town. Only thing is he wants 8000 for it and i dont have it right now.

beings that the euro front end lasted 2 years, does that mean I had some like rare car and didnt even know it?

Of course he didnt stick around and then you get screwed. Sorry to hear. Maybe you'll see him somewhare. I wouldnt worry about the car being super rare though. GM made so many g bodies over the years it will be a while before the see any real gain in value which will probably be negligable.
