Scott, I have never heard that. I'm not sure what the difference in putting cruise control on an SS454 would make GM more liable than it would on a 350/402/400. It does not make any sense.

Is it possible there is only 56 days until some of our members start arriving in Carlisle for our Eastern Meet. Not only is it possible, it is absolutely true, only 56 days and a wake-up is where our countdown is until members start arriving in Carlisle.

I apologize for not being clear. I was not intending for this post to be for kudo's being directed to the officers, admin's and moderators. It was only to point out how we don't see that kind of activity here. It is very hard for platforms like facebook to filter out those kind of people due to the large number of people using it.

Drive the Monte should be option 1, not 4.
While I would love to drive her across country I prefer to keep her as low of mileage as possible.

I don't know for sure on either of these but will answer from what my mind's eye may see...
1) I have never seen seat belt cups for the rear seat on any car. I would think since mostly children sit in the back seat it would be impossible to get kids to use them. Also, since I have never seen belt cups in the front on a bench seat car I would think the belt cups were only installed on a bucket seat car with a console as a storage place for them so they wouldn't slip between the bucket seat and the console.
2) As for the cruise control not being available on an SS. I have always heard this too but I have seen one SS with it. Like Aaron, I suspect it was dealer installed. I had always heard the issue was because of not sufficient due to the compressor. Something I wonder about also is since they both the load level system and the cruise control use vacuum to operate (not to mention the brake booster) the car could maybe not produce enough vacuum for everything to operate properly.

Well, we now know who is Member Number 75 but not just number 75..... We now have 76 members registered with me to attend. I have just added Tom Carter #75 and his sister Eileen Powers as #76, each bringing their own Monte.Saturday 8:55PM March 23rd I just added Member Number 77, Mike Mnich from Pennsylvania, his Monte sounds very interesting, looking forward to seeing it in CarlisleUPDATE, UPDATE, UPDATERyan Palmer has now registered with me and registered with the hotel.April 7, update...Member Kevin Low notified me he is coming to the Eastern Meet. He will be doing a room share with a member who already has a room.Since Kevin is sharing a room, we stlll have 1 room left in the club block of rooms at the Fairfield Inn and Suites. This brings the total number of members registered with me to a whopping 79 members.
NEW UPDATE, UPDATE, UPDATE - April 21, update... I had heard from Terry Reynolds a few days ago. Awhile back he had told me he could not make it this year. He sent me an e-mail has now registered with me. Terry will not be able to be there the whole time but he is going to try to be there on Saturday. Terry usually only comes down for Saturday to hang with the club members. If I am not mistaken, John may have reserved the last room in our block at the host hotel. Don't worry if you would like to come but need a room. The Host Hotel is currently SOLD OUT but, I do have a backup hotel under contract for 15 rooms. Also I am working with the host hotel general Manager and they have told me if they get any cancellations outside of our block of rooms and we have someone who needs a room they will offer that cancelled room me for our group.
With the registration of Terry Reynolds, we now have 81 members registered with me to attend the meet.

I dont know why this got lost on me.
I know you would Rob, and Thank You!!!
I also would love to go to one of Aaron's meets in the BC. The pictures he posts of that area are beautiful. We can't this year but my wife and I have talked about either flying out one year. In reality we would have a couple or 3 options: 1) Fly out, rent a car and join i the fun. 2) Do a Canadian cross country train trip over to BC, rent a car and go to the meet or 3) Fly there from Eastern Canada go to the meet and then take the cross country Canadian train ride back east.

Rob while i was in Carlisle, i handed about 5 or 6 cards out to people who already had Monte's and never heard of the club. We will see how many will become members.
Also i spoke to Chad, (Green SS) he happened to be there also and he said he might take a ride but not sure if he was staying more than a day!
Willie, thanks for your stalking prowess..... hopefully we will get some members out of this. Maybe you should head up a "Stalking Seminar at the Eastern Meet.

That should be fun!!!! Alot of work taking it apart in ?5 pieces to put it on trailer and then putting it back together again!!
I have no doubt that Dennis can do this and without injuring himself. Did you notice he said no 2X4's are involved.

Did you ever notice... on so many of the Facebook groups dedicated to the First Generation Monte Carlo how many Scam Ads and Knock -Off T-Shirt ads they have. If yes, have you also noticed that don't see much of that here on the FGMCC site or even the Facebook group that Aaron (Canuck) manages.
That is because of the screening process we use here when someone wants access to post on the site. Even if some of them do get through it is almost always quickly noticed by our moderators and admins and those posts are quickly removed and the poster banned from the site. We rarely have members scammed on items posted for sale here and we rarely have to remove posts or ban people from posting.
This is a very safe place to come to for your needs.

Thanks! I talked to the guy that owned the white 71 SS. Yes Rob, I gave him a FGMCC card and told him to check out the forum. I didn’t see the 4 speed car. Didn’t meet the owner of the other 70 either.
Sammy, Thanks for promoting the club but we really need to work on you stalking skills so you can always find not only the cars but all the drivers too. Maybe a seminar in Carlisle.

Still some tweaking to do but we are close to being road worthy again. I’ve tried to up load the video I made but it keeps giving me a 200 error code so I am guessing it is to big of a file
So, Old Red is ready to tear up the road, hook up the pull behind and head to Carlisle for the Eastern Meet. We hope you will be able to make it.

Thanks for joining in on the fun, it was nice talking to you earlier...you should put your car on the Auto Train and bring it too rather than flying.

Can this be possible? We are now in the 50's with our countdown hitting 59 days and a wake-up until our first members will arrive in Carlisle for our Eastern Meet.
Club Pre-Registration is still open. I think Carlisle Pre-registration will be shutting down in 2-3 weeks.

Count Down To Carlisle Eastern Meet
in FGMCC Annual Eastern Meet
Posted
The 55 Chevy was the first year of the Tri-five Chevrolet series.
Fifty-Five, 55 and Double-Nickles all have the same meaning.
That reminds me, we are now only 55 days and a wake-up away from our first members arriving in Carlisle to kick off our 2024 Eastern Meet.
