tthomas5118 Posted January 1 Author Posted January 1 @72Ragtop Happy New Year and thank you for sharing. I did buy the 70 Misty Turquoise convertible. I got her right before Christmas. Since acquiring the car I have gotten the ac working and added a sport steering wheel. This car already has power windows along with a couple other rare options. Here are a few photos of it in my driveway next to my big block 454 70 SS Tribute 10 Quote
Dtret Posted January 1 Posted January 1 Ya I always liked that car. I want one but gotta get Willie one first. 4 Quote
Michael Boyte Posted January 1 Posted January 1 Absolutely gorgeous 😍 , is that the convertible that Darren had ? If so, I've had the pleasure of seeing that car a few times. Always loved seeing Darren and his family showing up in the convertible. Definitely gets the attention everywhere it goes. !! 3 Quote

70white402 Posted January 1 Posted January 1 To be riding with his woman with the top down in his Monte. He’s happy,his life is in order. 5 Quote
Vaughn Posted January 2 Posted January 2 I purchased the convertible from Darren around 2015. I enjoyed it very much. The conversion was very well done. It's just that time in my life to downsize some of the Monte collection. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did Tyler. It will be happier in Phoenix than up here in Canada. 😁 7 Quote

Had to hold back because of family issues. She would of been mine! Glad someone in the club got her and will take care of her. I have also been watching that car since Darren had her!! Have to say Vaughn gave me every opportunity to change my mind till the last second. And i appreciated that, but it killed me as She slipped through my fingers. Would like to Thank Vaughn for that!!! Things we do for family! 5 Quote

stangeba Posted January 2 Posted January 2 I love it! There was a man in the Detroit Michigan area that built 3 or 4 back in the day. I don't remember his name but have a picture of one of them. This was taken in Ohio July 1993. 2 Quote
tthomas5118 Posted January 2 Author Posted January 2 Everyone, thank you for the kind words. I sure will enjoy this one. Hopefully for years to come. 4 Quote

Tonka Man Posted February 15 Posted February 15 How about an update? Are you exercising them on the street? I would assume this would be a fantastic time of year to drive a convertible in Arizona! 1 Quote
72Ragtop Posted February 15 Posted February 15 I was going to take the snow plow off of mine this week, but the big dump that is going on in the mountains to the west might blow over the foothills. Also, I found a foto of a 70 Convertible taken 2 years (give or take) ago at a show in Medina, NY (WNY) by my brother. He was unable to locate the owner. Foto should be attached, but this is computerized...... FedEx Scan 2025-01-29_10-38-52.pdf 2 Quote
