Michael Boyte Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Thanks for posting, That's a very nice ride indeed, I personally would prefer the 402 4sp or the most elusive of all.......... Of course it would be the Factory 71 454 4sp !!!!!!! Please let me know when one of those come available !!! 😂 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roughly 20% of the first gen Montes did not have AC. The AC option is less common the further North you go. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott S. Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I guess we're close.... You can see them from here. Still pretty flat, though. That's what makes the window system work..... Those long, flat stretches of open highway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
