Marks71 Posted October 8, 2024 Posted October 8, 2024 Dealer descriptions just crack me up. Trust me Mr. dealer anyone looking at an 80k classic knows what it is. We donāt need the brand new car sales brochure word salad description. Whatās Ā with the vents hanging from the dash. At first it looked like an aftermarket AC from a JC Whitney catalog but I donāt see a compressor. Ā Ā Ā Ā Sorry for the rant. Ā 4 Quote

420ponies Posted October 11, 2024 Posted October 11, 2024 (edited) Goes to all that restoration and adds a "SS" badge on the grille? Really?. I like the below dash add-on . What's it for? No Compressor, No SS. I'm still looking at the pictures.... got lost in the write-up. Ok, I'm back.... I get what you mean about no brake pedal pad now. Lot's of things make it look like anĀ original SS but..........Still a nice start to an SS but I too would make a offer. Edited October 11, 2024 by 420ponies added content Quote

Michael Boyte Posted October 11, 2024 Posted October 11, 2024 This car looks ok, however for that COIN... I would continue to search elsewhere.Ā I've seen quite a few true SS Montes , in a much cleaner condition for much less !!Ā However, I like the idea of these cars bringing top dollar when probably presented !!
