  1. The rear seat technically weren’t cups. They were plastic pieces at the base of the rear seat that the belt buckles clipped on to. My low mile 72 had those as well as on the front bench seat.
  2. I thought the seat belt cups in the rear might be a dealer add on but not sure. As for the cruise control, I think the load level compressor did not leave enough room for the cruise control to be installed at the factory. I have seen dealer installed cruise control on an SS454 though. There is room but maybe weren’t able to make it work as a factory installation.
  3. The price seems about right. Congrats on the sale. If I had an auction like that close to me I would consider that as an option too for my 71 SS.
  4. So, you will be ready for the Western Meet then? 😁
  5. I drove the 70 Monte to work today. It drives really nice. Engine has good power and the rebuilt trans is nice and smooth. Here is a photo on the way to work where I got stopped for construction for a few minutes.
  6. Welcome Brant! This is a great group here. Your Monte looks great!
  7. Reassembled! Rebuilt engine and transmission. Some tidying up in the engine bay.
  8. There was a member who removed the black Chevrolet emblem and put crosshairs in the chrome ring on his 71 SS. 😁
  9. Welcome! I hope to see you at a future meet. 🙂
  10. There’s a 5 year member badge on the grille the engine bay photo.
  11. I look forward to seeing the progress. I ordered my interior stuff from a few different vendors depending on the product I needed. You still have time to get it ready for the Western Meet in September. 😁
  12. There’s several little plugs in a small block. One decided to leak. The builder said out of the hundreds of small blocks he has rebuilt this is only the second plug he has had leak. I wasn’t too critical. Stuff happens. He came over and did all the work to reinstall a plug and seal it up.
  13. Did some touch ups today. The rebuilt engine had an oil leak that could only be addressed by removing the head. A few weeks ago my engine builder came by to pull the head/intake and fix the plug that was causing the leak. I finally got around to doing the paint touch ups today.
  14. Actually lost money because they paid $61,600 with the buyer commission and sold it for $57k.
  15. Sold for $57,000 plus commission. Instead of $62,700 they could have had my 71 SS for $55k. 😁
  16. I got tires mounted today and tried them on the 71. They look good.
  17. 🎶 “On the cover of the O P G” 🎶
  18. Agreed. I’ve used those auveco clips too. I would not use the factory style metal ones again.
