Default Hot Monte and Impala

I went to the Syracuse Nationals Car Show yesterday at the New York State Fair grounds. Completely filled with really nice cars, about 8000 cars, huge! I found these.... a Monte and an Impala. I see a For Sale sign in the Monte's windshield, start saving your pennies.

So these were nascar cars that someone converted into street legal cars? It would be cool to swap out that sheet metal body on the monte for factory body panels and make it look like a stock ss. Talk about a "sleeper".

would be easier to put Monte Panels on a Mustang. There is 0 that it shares with the car. not to mention it was wider.

Also how the heck did they get that street legal? That is a wonder??? Airbags? bumpers??

I am 56. I passed Old Fart and went to Geezer a few years ago. I actually am old enough to have seen dirt being invented.

That Impala looks like it has an RCR paint scheme. Who drove the #13?
