And scrap the driveline and suspension and put it on one of these.

Sorry about the typos in the title hit send to quickly.
Seek medical help. Now that in a Exocet I can get behind.
My inner Redneck coming through?
The Monte Carlo never did much for me, but I saw one build in which a guy shoved Trans Am bits underneath a Grand Prix. I thought that was kind of neat.
The Easy Button version
In reply to JohnRW1621:
seriously used late model stockcars are a lot of power, potential and fun for the dollar. Traction is just better tire selection away
I actually like that body style. I hated it when it first came out but it has since grown on me. Just that I believe that it is a front wheel drive with a 5.3 in the SS. this really needs to be made back in to a RWD and it would be cool to make it handle while I was there. I wonder if the wheel bace is similar enough to make it work. An F body swap over is probably a better easier option but I just like hiding a C5 suspension under it. Would be fun to DD and take to a test and tune day at the track every now and then.

These care cool but no all that streetable
What is stopping you? Certainly wont be US!
It's probably easier to make one streetable than to stuff a Corvette under a stock one.

Sorry, but I couldn't be seen in any of the Lumina iterations GM put out. Not only is it unattractive, it's the epitome of what was (is?) wrong with GM. Take the lumina, put a "3" on the side and it'll sell to all the NASCAR fans.
I know, no "3" on that one, but I think you follow me.
I'm pretty sure the Monte SS is only a supercharged 3.8.
The Impala SS and Grand Prix GXP got the 5.3.
To your original question. How good are you with a grinder and a welder? What would be your budget? Just off the top of my head I'd figure around 18k would get it close.

The last two or three yrs of the MCSS were 5.3's.....

You are correct. Looks like 05, 06 and 07 got the V8. Learn something new everyday
The only FWD gm from that era that i wish was RWD was the 4dr Grand Am GT. Not that i care enough to try it.
I still maintain that those cars are the real life modern interpretation of the 6000SUX from RoboCop. Damn those Montes are hideous.
In reply to Appleseed:
How do you get a Monte out of a Taurus 
In reply to nicksta43:
Actually the 6000SUX was based on an Olds. You're thinking of the cop cars.
Seriously? There are a lot of good ideas that happen when I see that Vette core... but yours is not one of them.
If you cannot get that idea out of your head you can always try Treppaning. 
In reply to Appleseed:
I don't get it,didn't GM make a bunch of other rwd cars that are just as um attractive.
