montefrazer Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Congrats from me, too. Do you have any plans on going to Jefferson swap meet and show in April? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Its Just Me Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Montefrazer: Yes, I plan on going to the swap, probably on Friday only though. I usually go with a couple friends who have a swap space every year. That works out good as I don't have to carry all my loot out to the parking area.

montefrazer Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I'll be working Friday but plan on going Saturday, weather permitting. If you decide to go Saturday, PM me and we could try to meet somewhere. You can buy the 71 parts Friday, but leave the 70 parts for me.

ssmonte70 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I go to the Jefferson swap meet every spring/fall...is there any special areas that have Monte items? I usually go with my brother, cousin, and friend. Â Thanks--Troy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montefrazer Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I've also gone spring and fall for many years. No special area to look. Some years find parts and other years find nothing. Usually 2-4 first gen Montes in the show or car corral areas. Do you get to the Skips shows/swaps in Illinois? One coming up on the 17th. http://www.midwestswapmeets.com/ai1ec_ev...2/?instance_id= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssmonte70 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I've never gone to the Skips Show/Swap but it looks nice. Â Troy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montefrazer Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 If you feel the urge to go, I'll be there about 2-3 hours in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stangeba Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Great news! So, what would it take to purchase it from you? Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Its Just Me Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 Well Bruce...I hadn't really thought about selling...but I've never been one to limit my options. My wife would be the major decision maker on the fate of this car. You see, I bought a MC for her for her birthday 2 years ago. It was a 350/350 combo, A/C, black on black on black, bench seat, 10 bolt open rear, rally rims, column shift, excellent interior, but it needed significant body work, tho it looked good from 20 ft. She loved having her own "hotrod" as she called it. After pricing body work and paint (WOW!!!), I started looking for a replacement, upgraded "hotrod" for her that didn't need body work. The SS was the fruit of that search. I tried to make it clear that this car would be "ours" but she doesn't quite see it that way. Her only issue is that it's too nice to drive as much as she was accustomed too. She drove her old car everywhere and in all weather except winter. I think she misses that. So "she" may be open to selling if we can replace it with more of a daily driver. I, on the other hand, would require a replacement with a solid body and "good" paint, A/C is a must, and bucket seats and a floor shift. Engine & drive train is open as I have a few options at my disposal. So recapping...not really for sale, but I will certainly keep you in mind if we change our minds. FYI...We are hoping to drive the SS to Michigan if Sam & Co. can put a meet together this summer/fall. Hope to meet a bunch of fellow members.

stangeba Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Would love to see it (and meet you). I have two grandsons and will need one more car to give away after I no longer can drive (or die). To be fair it should be a 71 350 4BBL like mine so the racing will be closer. Our Grandfather sold his 37 Dodge pick up to my older brother who still owns it. It will be passed down to his grandson. I think that is so great that he did that, I want to also pass on the tradition. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
