S.Maug Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 thank you kpcsgasp nice looking 72. my wife will have to help me figure the picture thing out. I am a farmer and a retired gm tech, trying to beat pancreatic cancer presently, Been a fairly rough year. Im from Illinois , but with my wifes family in florida all this last year at moffit cancer center, which may i say to my fellow club members if any of you should ever suffer from that disease, i very very highly reccomend them. Feel free to use me as a reference! hopefully nobody will. looking for a compressor for my SS, the previous owner pulled because he said it did not work . he put regular shocks to rear and wasn"t realy into keeping her stock. i have been trying to find one for years. even if inoperable. she"s got 67,000 miles. Great driver. I keep her in Illinois. My other 402 girl i keep down here in florida, shes got 32,000 miles and is immaculate. she gives me a lot of comfort during my medical issues. I polish her every day I feel able to get outside. sorry everyone but i do go on, wife says hush up. ive always been known to be a big conversation fellow, havn"t been around friends in over a year. anyway feels greaT TO FIND A NEW WAY TO EXPRESS MYSELF. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot a of great folks here and most will ramble along with you. The cars and mostly the people is why we’re here. If you really want to talk cars you may want to join us in Carlisle PA , if you’re up to it, to see a bunch of great cars and meet a bunch of great people. And yes we dedicate the evenings to rambling in the parking lot. You’ll fit right in. Welcome again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.Maug Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 Thank You714024speed.and 420 ponies, everyone has such fantastic cars also. and happy birthday 420 ponies. note although I go by steve, s.maug to everyone is just because i like dragons. please don"t think me a dufus. ha ha Since my family made me retire in 2021 after my stroke "yeah i had a stroke too" even though ive basically recovered from that we still farm. corn beans cattle hogs and chickens. I do miss the day job of the dealership I worked at for over 35 years. guess I"m really not retired. Ever since i saw my classmate"s red on red 350 powered bucket seat and console 70 gem when I was 17 I fell in love with first gen monte"s. when he wrecked it and it went to the junkyard i almost cried, found my first one that summer . never looked back. although i have collected 8 other 50, 60, and 70"s vehicles and motorcycles, farm equipment, argo 8-wheeler ect., my 2 monte"s stand alone as my most beloved and greatest treasures. should have just collected monte carlo"s. actually still might as I would like to own a 71 and a 72, maybe, one never knows. wink wink in case anyone knows where those can be found. saw many go to the crusher in my life and the rust monster got the rest. Illinois isn"t kind, my ss from florida and 402 from texas. excellent examples. very fortunate. if anyone knows of a air compressor and bracket, for my SS, working or non working I would be interested. the owner I got it from removed because it was inop and wasn"t able to find it when I purchased the car some 40 years ago. also both factory air cleaners arn"t correct in both my cars. both run excellent. the SS stays at the farm in Illinois and the 402 here In florida. the 402 car is 32,000 mile texas car and i would say i will never take it north. we live very rural and i would never drive it on the gravel roads we have up there. when i get my SS repainted i"m putting it up in a building i"ll build especially for my collection, never to gravel road drive it again. I"ll haul to meets and such. that"s where the daily driver for my area hasn"t been found and purchased yet. so any help on that is greatly appreciated. whew! guesss i"ve about bored everyone to tears. let me recharge and I promise the dragon will spew Monte Carlo fire once again. thank you all for listening, communicating, and being my new friends. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1970mcss Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Steve, I sent you a private message, I have an extra compressor that I might part with. One of the members here (Overdrive) reproduces the brackets. As good as original or better. Let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
