wallaby Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Wow. Very nice! Sure is black, though. I bet you can't wait to get that baby into storage. LOL Quote
502ci Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Sounds like it was a fun ride... Looks pretty nice in the photos. Quote
bigtankjones Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 I thought that image of your Monte by the 4car garage looked like Leo's garage. Quote

BigMike Posted October 16, 2011 Author Posted October 16, 2011 Thanks Guys! Yes it is in my garage now, It is a matching numbers car, non- air. Leo is going to do the quarters, trunk lid and pan, and fenders and minor work to the doors, Seats. then back to original color Paint code#78 Rosewood Metallic Quote
LostnFound Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Very nice Mike. Restoring it to the original colour is a great idea. Seems that we picked our cars up the same week. I'm a newby on here though and I'm really enjoying the car and this site. Mine is a 1971 SS black on black with buckets etc in great condition and 68,000 miles on it. I'll have some photos up in a couple of days. I'm just a little north of you in Ontario. Quote

Sam (Bones) Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 if the weather was better I'd be tempted to hop in my '71 and head your way for a cruise and a meeting of monteholics anonymous Quote
BigMike Posted October 16, 2011 Author Posted October 16, 2011 Well one of these days we have too! Quote
overdrive Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Congratulations on getting your car home. It'll be looking great in the original color. Dan Quote
VE3HZZ Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Congradulations too from another recent member from Ontario land. Picked mine up a few short weeks back. Still taking stock of things I NEED to do and things I WANT to do this winter now that it's in the garage. I have been a chromaholic with my bike and now it seems I will be renewing my addiction with the Monte. My sponsor (wife) gave up on me a while ago to stop it.... Regards Scott Quote
ddiddle Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Hey Scott, I'm going to try out the "sponsor" language on my wife. If I live through it, I'll let you all know how it goes... Quote
Canuck Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Congrats! It will look great in Rosewood Metallic Here's a Rosewood 71: Quote
7tonemonte Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Looks very nice, although Id love to see it in rosewood also Quote

RichG Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 My first Monte was a 1971 SS454 in Rosewood with black top and black bench seat. Loved that car! You don't see many 71's in Rosewood. I really liked the color. Quote
Phil Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Nice ride man congrats. Going to Leos house of Montes is a real amusement park experience. Quote
BigMike Posted October 18, 2011 Author Posted October 18, 2011 Nice ride man congrats. Going to Leos house of Montes is a real amusement park experience. Yes it is! Quote
