ALERT!!! ALERT!!! ALERT!!! It looks as though someone has hi-jacked to the screen of Dennis T. Everyone here knows if you don't see the toes of a pair of slippers or shoes in a picture it wasn't taken by Dennis. Just kidding it's a legit ad. rob

🤣🤣 and I'm the old one rob

Elizabethton tn

Thank God you guys caught it in time Ron!!!

Mark, If I am not mistaken the pre-registration for the Carlisle Events closes after Monday. I think then within a few weeks we start receiving our gate passes in the mail. rob

Someone mentioned to me that they may have corrected the issue. I didn’t want to take the risk so now have Coopers and I’m happy with them.

Jared and Donny Stole their 🏆

Share your Mini Meet photos here. I'll start.

The tire in the foreground is dated 2016. The one behind is 2015. Somewhere between those two is when BF Goodrich lost my business. Tires were cleaned and treated the same on the same car all these years.

Rob i also know its a real ad, the car and the plate were dead give aways!!! I just cant get over the fact Dennis is selling anything!!!! He must of had a bet with Karen and he came up on the short side?!?! LOL

That could have been very bad good thing she cought it.

Wow. Great catch on her part. And also to you for locating the source. Hope it all repairs quickly.

So, we are almost bumping up against the 30's our count now at 43 days and a wake-up before our first members will be arriving in Carlisle for our 25th Eastern Meet. rob

So I’m weed wacking or trimming yesterday evening after a heavy rain and my wife runs out flagging me down . So I says”. Are you wanting to weed wack !? Yea!!! . She says, I smell smoke in the house!! 🔥.. darn I track it down, coming out hvac vents upstairs. Shoot!. I go get a ladder 🪜 ugh . Real quick . The upper attic is entered thru a cutout in the upstairs bedroom ceiling. No stairs.. to make a long story shorter. The HVAC evaporator and blower are up there in the heat.. for the upper level. Sure enough, that’s where the smoke smell is coming from . Found blower motor circuit board fried and wiring to it melted. No fuse blown. Geez.. gotta get a new pcb and fix the wiring. Could be the motor going bad too , drawing too much current.. Thankful it only went that far. Life is Grand.👍🏻But there’s a cruise in at 5 this evening … To heck with AC …

That sucks. I decided to roll the dice and went with BFGs on the ‘71 last year. With the exception of two or three very small spots on the lettering on one tire, the rest have been fine… for now. Time will tell…

I know everyone is counting down, but for me its really gonna hit home when the Carlisle package shows up in the mailbox

For Star Wars fan, May Force (4th) be with you!

I love the gentleman's address, #44 Monte Ave

They moved the awards up earlier because of impending weather. Tim got best 70-72 Monte Randy got best Survivor 70-72 Gary won the best Monte Carlo included all Generations.

Not so bad here in Ky on cars over 20 years old. Considered antique. No registration every year, sales tax 6 % of whatever $ amount you and the seller say it sold for. Yearly property taxable value very reasonable on antique cars, for instance some only valued at a few hundred dollars on taxes. Insurance less per 1000 value on antique cars. Cars can be considered a classic at 15 years old for insurance purposes.. needless to say, I won’t be moving at this age to California or NY. Even tho both states are beautiful, I couldn’t afford to live there on a Ky retirement..

Absolutely.

I'm guessing that delivery at Carlisle if people are planning to attend is an option as well? (As long as there's still room to load your car on the trailer, 😄)

Skirts 150 per set. Best go first. I will have to see what I have for hardware.

hello jft69z. information has been copied. clear away sir. thank you

Steve, let me know when you have Gene's info copied, so I can remove it from the general public view. (I removed your personal info from the above post already) Joe

hello walter check will be fine, let me know the address and i'll have it cut and sent out tomorrow. thank so very much. i'll make check out for 510.00$ sound ok?

Yes Steve as I have said to a couple others In The group it is one of the nicest grilles I have seen for sale I had bought one from a monte carlo expert and paid a pretty good price for it more then I have the one in the pictures for I was at one point thinking about taking the one I had back out of my car and putting this other one in the one in my car now has a broke mounting tab . I would take a check if you would like to send one paypal charges so many outrageous fees anymore and want to gold some of my funds 2 different times just let me know what you would like to do

Thanks for the reminder. I did some research and was surprised how many stations near me carried it. $5.40-$5.70/gl. For regular only. It’s about .20/gl more than the ethanol stuff.

Wow, real glad you found it and the damage didn't spread. Scary stuff indeed.

Pretty scary stuff Ron. Glad you got it.

good morning walter, my wife is out at the moment. i think pay pal, check, however you would be comfortable with. please be patient with me as my cancer has me not as mobile as one would want. i am in florida at this time and would want it shipped here, addres is *****. now i would assume this grille is excellent from the pictures and conversations i have seen between you and other members. i am only days into this club as a new member. my grille has dull chrome and has pitting pretty much throughout the little squares. i was going to go through the process of having rechromed but havn't ever done that before. so i'm looking for a grille to just install and be happy with. the picture on my new member site where its first and foremost in the foreground shows my current grille. the rest of the chrome is perfect on my 70 402. so you probably get where im coming from. i get you, your posts very much as i said remind me of my father, he was,nt one you joked with when one is being serious. i am very much the same. not sure if it's because we are marines and he's been gone some 15 years now as are all my side of the family. In many ways I miss him. Just needed to know i'll be happy to install it and never look back with regrets. i'm not that kind of guy either walter. sorry for being longwinded let me know at your convenience. sincerely steve lascody i

I run av-gas in the blue oval, thank gawd I only run that on crystal clear days at 5.50 a gal 🤣 I just picked up a yamaha 125, they suggest non ethanol so I'll be checking those prices now

Diesel is holding around $4 in Va, I paid $4.36 for premium the other day so I'm parking the suburban for awhile 🤣

Good crowd for a first year show. This group of promoters does the C10 nationals that draws 10k people and 2k trucks. They expect to double or triple in size on this show next year. Just waiting on them to finalize the date.

That is why so many people plan for and then move out of this state upon retirement. My entire family lives here and we’re a pretty tight knit group, so I’m not going anywhere. Financially I would be better off somewhere else.

Welcome to the club !. Love the 402 !!!

If you take the number 11 and multiply it by 4 your result will be the same as our 44 days and a wake-up until our members start arriving in Carlisle for our 25th Eastern Meet rob

Looks like a repair seminar going on there. rob

This car was ordered without the power steering. This is the second 4 speed that I have had with no power steering.

Yes, power steering as well as front disc brakes and an AM radio were standard on these cars. Back in the day, some people saw power steering as an unnecessary luxury and some weren't sold on modern disc brakes. A buyer could delete front disc brakes and get drum brakes, power steering to get a manual gear box and the radio which resulted in a Chevelle radio blank plate covered in burled elm contact paper. This is from a Long Island member's car:

How about no options, This is my 1971 350 4 speed, bench seat never been restored or painted. It pretty stripped down with not much for extras. Paint code is 49 -11 or the D-99 option. Trim is not painted. It has no power steering but I love to drive this one. For some reason it seems to "float" a little less without the power steering option. Just don't get too close on a steep hill.

In 1970 I ordered a Chevelle SS 396 (actually a 402) with the Turbo 400 and 3.31 posi. It was a great car with zero issues.

Finally waking the beast, went for an hours drive, all is well,!

Finally got the new tires on and the carb tuned !!! Took her for her first real run of the season........ So glad spring is here !!!

FINALY 🤣 Maiden post hibernation cruise today, beautiful day low 70's. I was pulling back into the garage when I remember "someone" said I only post left side photos of the "imaginary" Monte so I backed up and took a right side photo 🤣

Incidents like these become more prevalent when consequences no longer act as a deterrent. There needs to be universal truth in sentencing, no time off for “good behavior” and disposition needs to be swift, not drawn out over years with multiple continuances. You probably wouldn’t believe how lenient the criminal justice system is here in Chicago, Cook County. I’ve seen people charged with MURDER released on EM. And with the implementation of the “No Cash Bail” law this year, all but the most serious charges allow arrestees to be released from the station right after being charged and booked. As painful as it is to learn that two more LEO’s were killed in the line of duty, some consolation is to be had knowing that the offender was permanently removed from this planet in return. He’ll never have the chance to do anything like this again. Traffic stops and Domestic Disturbances are the two deadliest types of calls/jobs for coppers. I’m not armchair QBing, just merely commenting… but bringing your ‘A’ Game is mandatory as there’s no such thing as a “routine” traffic stop. Our policies here are so restrictive when it comes to vehicle pursuits, motorists in “certain neighborhoods” have taken to just refusing to pull over as they know the likelihood of being chased is slim to none as supervisors routinely terminate pursuits for everything. So I guess this in ONE way to minimize exposure to a stop going sideways. RIP Officer Micheal Jensen and Lieutenant Michael Hoosock. EOW: 14 Apr 24.

Here's my all original '72 402 that I found by luck one day searching the web. It came with some trophies in the trunk from late 80s and early 90s. Think whoever had it must of parked soon after because it could use some TLC.

I can feel your pain Dennis, i don't think anyone can tease you about having an extra burner for parts! Its when you have 10-15 burners we start to get a little concerned....... Good thing Glenn is working, he would of taken this in a complete different direction!!!!

Dennis i think that 2x4 that clocked you learned its lesson as it saved your firewall in that Monte! You should be happy!! Put a rope on it attach the other side to your tractor and pull it down!! Then cut it up and put it in your fireplace!! Problem solved!! lol
