Title: Re: Joe Mondello Post by: TexasTom on April 10, 2011, 21:10:34 pm I've always thought it would be THE COOLEST to attend his head-porting school ...
Rest in Peace & condolences to his family ... Title: Re: Joe Mondello Post by: Jeff68 on April 11, 2011, 14:50:54 pm R.I.P. Joe. My first car was a 1970 Olds Cutlass that I Hot Rodded. I always had a thing for Oldsmobiles, don't know why. Once I found out about Joe and Mondello Performance parts I always wanted to build a Mondello / Olds motor. Another legend is gone....but surely not forgotten.

I remember going out to his shop with my dad and Joe P. to pick up heads when I was about 9 years old. THAT group along with Mickey Thompson were so. cal. HORSEPOWER.
