Yes Dennis my SSs should be jealous as this seems to be a very nice car. It is Fathom blue with a black vinyl top and the interior is blue cloth. As mentioned in a previous post, i was able to confirm (with pictures) that the motor and transmission are numbers matching. According to the seller, the car had one repaint which included some minor ding fixes back in 1980. The metal is all original and solid (no rust) but there is the beginnings of some bubbling at the rear window but it looks to be just surface. I will know more when I get it here and can look it over and get it up on the lift but I am super happy to have found it. I am not yet sure how original I will keep it...maybe just change out the bench for a set of buckets with the console and possibly add A/C. Of course I will keep the original parts but I just can't see me enjoying the four speed with a bench seat haha. My buddies all think I am crazy LOL because all I do is buy and never sell anything. I now have 6 1970 Montes...4 - SS454s, 1 - Covertible, and this latest 1 a BBC 402 with 4 speed. All the Monte's are original numbers matching (except of course the convertible which is just a super nice example of how the conversion should be done) and in near perfect condition. In addition I recently bought a 1935 Chevy truck that although complete and solid (no rust California truck) is in pieces and needs painted and reassembled. It is a good thing I don't have a wife, I would likely have been shot by now. Here is a picture of some of my collection in front of my shop...

A standard PCV valve cover grommet fits that hole perfectly. It keeps the inlet of the condensor from rubbing the core support.

Just a little update 295 in the back and 255 in the front. I had to cut rear fender lip about 1 inch each side. It still rubs a little on hard corners.
