JP Mitchell Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Hello All. Just wanted to do a quick intro and post a few pictures. New member to the group from Martinsville, Indiana (just south of Indy) 1970, 402, factory 4spd numbers matching with 71k miles. My dad who is also a member Doug, purchased this car in 1974. As a kid growing up this sat in our driveway, covered up waiting to be restored. I believe the restoration started in the late 90’s or early 2000’s and took quite a few years. The color is the mist green with a gold pearl in it just to make it a little more unique. At the beginning of 2021 my dad was diagnosed with cancer and he has been fighting he way through everything, everyday. He is unable to enjoy and take care of it so I will continue to keep it shining. My girls enjoy picking up papaw and taking him for a ride or along to a local show. I am sure I will have some questions along the way so i figured this would be a good place to turn to. take care! JP Mitchell 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCfan Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Welcome to the club and forums, Justin! Great to have another factory big block four-speed in the club! Is that vinyl top black or dark green? Sorry to hear about your dad's health challenges - watched my own dad go down that road years ago - it's tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

420ponies Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Wow! A 4 spd and Green! Awesome '70 you have there. Sorry to hear about your dad's health, we too had this happen to my father in law. It's an eye opener for anyone going through it. Just let him know his Monte will be in trusted into the family. Again, one nice '70 Monte. Those wheels really make it for me!
