jft69z Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Saw only one first gen at the show yesterday. The owner was not around. Yes, I did leave a club card in the car, hopefully he'll call me to join up. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jft69z Posted August 22, 2023 Author Share Posted August 22, 2023 Saw this one at the big weekly cruise tonight. Spoke to him for quite a bit, and he's had it since 1980 if I recall. He was a member of the old MC club, and gave him the details of our club & my number. Sounds like he may call and possibly join. Paul, with the black '72 above was there as well. Spoke to another ex-Monte owner who is looking for his old one (he knows where it is located, but hasn't been able to reach the current owner). Anyways, met him a couple years ago when I first brought mine out and we keep talking about him coming to Carlisle, etc. Firmed it up tonight, he's coming over this week sometime to get him signed up as a full member and maybe get a room reserved for Carlisle too. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jft69z Posted September 12, 2023 Author Share Posted September 12, 2023 Saw this one tonight at the weekly Wurlitzer factory cruise night. Second owner car (he picked it up a week ago actually), 21K miles, 350/250 hp, originally purchased at a local dealer from a salesman that eventually went on to became one of the larger dealers here. All the documentation such as protect-o-plate, invoice, sales tags, etc. I talked to Matt for a bit & gave him the info to join here. He did happen to mention that he may be selling the car, but no firm decision, or mention of cost. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jft69z Posted September 19, 2023 Author Share Posted September 19, 2023 Met another gentleman last night at the Monday cruise night. Real nice car with a lot of options. Funny, as we're talking, he mentions he saw a bunch of Montes all together at Syracuse this past few months, I told him that was us 😁. There's also a Carlisle sticker on the windshield, but that's from one of their spring or fall events. Turns out a couple of his buddies are also Monte owners, so the plan is to get them all signed up & join us next year at Syracuse, and hopefully at our Carlisle event as well. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
