Is this a member's Monte?

[kpcsgasp]

Picked up my 2025 calendar from NAPA and this was Mr. March. Does this belong to a member?

[cny first gen 71]

Yes but Bob Lynan don't own it any more. It now belongs to Glenn. Beautiful car.

[Canuck]

The booger got published!

[Glen]

What’s funny is that exact picture was used for the same/similar calendars more than a couple times.

I have them as Bob included them with the sale as I asked for anything provenance-related to be included. Off the top of my head I can’t remember the years right now, but that is Booger. I’m gonna have to snag a copy of this 2025 calendar to add to my collection of documentation.  If I recall correctly, that is the original paint before Bob had it repainted (as seen below now in my care).

And seeing as the publisher didn’t get my consent to use my car, I’ll be seeking royalties post haste 💰💰😂

Booger also appears in this book…

Glen, you certainly got yourself a beautiful vehicle . I used to see Bob with his SS454 several times throughout the year. He would always be present and passing out candy at the Garden City Halloween car show which was about 45 minutes south of North Myrtle Beach. The one thing that always caught my attention was the Shirley Muldowney signature on the underside of the rear deck . He always seemed to be rather proud of that and would always point it out to everyone.  Is that still there Glen or did you have that repainted ?

Thanks, Mike!  

Oh no, Shirley’s ‘Jane Hancock’ along with NASCAR’s Chase Elliot, Greg Zipadelli and one other which I can’t remember or decipher (see attached pix) at the moment will remain intact. 

I also found pictures of the previous calendars* dated (February) 2008 & (September) 2011, as well as the page (158) of the book* in which ‘Booger’ appears. 

* places you WON’T be seeing either of Dennis’s clones

That should properly say “ any of Dennis’ three clones “. If you’re going to do it, do it correctly. Thank you. 😊

Thanks, Willie!  However, that’s the parking lot at a restaurant/banquet hall. Now maybe if I had Joe’s money, I could buy it and turn it into my house 😂

I didn’t think I needed to include the ‘72 since most people immediately notice that it’s spelled “Kustom” 🤣😂

Hey Glen....

I bet if you look in the sales contract Bob probably already sold off the rights to the pictures. (and spent the cash wisely) 

Just trying to save you a law suit.

I was being facetious as I have zero clue how that might work regarding published images. It’s likely Bob signed-off on some kind of legal document/contract/waiver acknowledging the unlimited use of that image into perpetuity in exchange for…???? But now my interest has been piqued. 

That said, if I were a betting man (which I might just be 🤫) I’d wager legal verbiage exists that the use of image(s) of “his” vehicle is contingent upon his ownership of said vehicle. I’d imagine any type of legal document would be unenforceable/null and void once the vehicle changed hands and new ownership was officially established.  It’s likely this isn’t an uncommon phenomenon and surely case law exists as to the merits, remedies etcetera.

Playing Devils Advocate:  how would NAPA know ownership had changed?  Well, they likely wouldn’t unless that caveat was specifically discussed and memorialized in whatever contract was executed.

I’m thinking a politely worded email to NAPA’s Marketing Department might be in order. And then perhaps a call to the law offices of Dewey, Cheatem & Howe 😁

In the meantime, I’ll be forwarding any and all parking violations to Bob 🤣😂

It was used by another parts store for there calendar before around 10 or so years ago. I think it was auto value or something like that. I got it from a local parts store/machine shop I used to deal with, Niles auto supply they have been in business for many years. I'm sure the original  owners are long gone Billy and Tommy baker they were both good guys.

I think it’s great that the car has appeared in some kind of media this many times.  Hopefully it translates to bolstering the continued momentum in both the interest in and value of our First Gens (clones excluded for obvious reasons, “Ennis-Day”).

Auto Value sounds familiar and might be one of the ones I have.  I’ll have to poke around and look for it at some point to verify.

I’m glad she was dubbed ‘Booger’ before “someone” attached ‘Mucus’ instead. Much more palatable the way it is. 🤣😂

I don't know about that. The 'Mucus Monte' has a nice ring to it.

While I can’t argue with that having a certain ring to it, but in terms of alliteration, how’s about “Big Block Booger”?

Mucus  Pucus Monte has a nice ring to it also

That’s good too. I like that we have options of what to call your car.
