  1. Very interesting steering column..... Tilt and has the gear selection indicator mounted on the column. rob
  2. I'm not sure what you mean Dennis, of course it is original. I have a friend who knew a guy whose brothers uncles father in laws sister knew a guy who had an original 71 just like it and it was 100% factory original with the added special order factory red stripes and the rocker and wheel well trim delete and including the special order 70 interior and the factory accepted an order for the moon-roof too. Dennis, how could you doubt the originality of this car? rob
  3. No, the swivel seats didn't start until Gen 2 Monte's. Strato Buckets were what they called the bucket seats for our first Gen Monte's. The swivel seats were an interesting thing but just didn't catch on as a popular option as time went by. rob
  4. It looks really great Aaron. It is so pretty you shouldn't drive it anymore and get it dirty. Like that's going to happen. Any leads on possible buyers yet? rob
  5. I have just found out about 3 more members who will be confirming which will put us at 28 members. As soon as I get their tracking information I will add them to our list. I am also going to try to get a listing from Carlisle Events to see if I am missing any members. rob
  6. Below is an updated list the members I have heard from who are planning to attend the Carlisle GM Nationals Mini-Meet.

At this point over half of our 40 rooms have been spoken for. Get your reservations in because we may not be able to get any rooms added. rob
  7. What, why not use spell-check on your phone or computer. Dictionary indeed. rob
  8. I suspect my fuel gauge reading too high may be due to my fuel sender unit. I have read so many posts about members having to drop the tank numerous times to be able to adjust the level sensing arm and many times this wasn't even successful. There is a post somewhere here on the boards that gives the ohm readings at empty, full and 1/2 tank levels. I have been thinking about ways to prevent having to drop the tank numerous times to get this adjusted properly. I was wondering if anyone has thought about trying this method. Prior to dropping the tank, measure from the floor to the point on the tank which is nearest to the ground and also measuring another (higher) point from the back of the tank, around where the filler neck enters the tank from there to the floor. This way, when you drop the tank you could support the tank, with the rear of the tank at the same level as it is when mounted in the car to check readings with it out of the car. I am not sure if this would really work. I am just trying to keep from having to drop the tank numerous times to get it right. rob
  9. Jonathan, Welcome aboard. Now that you are a full member we hope you will join us a couple hours north of you at our Carlisle Mini-meet. Let me know if you need any details. It is a great way to meet a really great group from the FGMCC rob
  10. Then you better give her a lot more than just a card
  11. A joke for you. I am going to start a Joke Thread. Years ago we had a joke thread and people would add their jokes for others to read. The only stipulation is your jokes MUST be kept CLEAN.... just plain clean fun. So if you come across a funny joke that keeps with our posting standards please post it here. rob Here is my joke: EULOGY FROM A WIFE AT HER HUSBANDS FUNERAL “Norman needed a blood transfusion, but his blood type was not on record, so the doctors asked me if I knew what it was. They urgently needed to know, to save Norman’s life.” “Tragically, I had never known his blood type so I only had time to hold his hand and say goodbye. I’ll never forget how supportive my Norman was. Even as he was fading away, he kept on whispering to me, ‘Be Positive my dear, Be Positive!’ “That was my Norman! Always thinking of others.”
  12. Yes Aaron, it is easy to spot an original rotor because of the grove in the center of them. It is funny these last so long because on our modern irons we have to replace them almost each pad change. rob
  13. Dan, Glad to hear those original rotors were good after they were turned. When I bought my current Monte it had around 36,000 miles on it and I was glad to see it still had the original rotors. Now it has a little over 60,000 miles and I am still running those same original rotors. You certainly won't see that on many newer model cars. rob
  14. Jim, thanks for passing this on, so sorry to hear this sad news. rob
