My Monte

"Easy enough to build..."

Well, if you ever move back, and I ever buy one to work on it looks like we may have a fun project to work on in my garage together :)

"actually, the tires are inflated properly. You spin ("burnout") the rear tires, heat them to get better traction. Then the air expands and fills out the tires. The tire is actually screwed to the rip to prevent the rim spinning inside the tire..."

Ah!

I don't want to go racing with the thing, I just want one rebuilt so it will go - and go fast (but not that fast) :). I'd probably do most of my cruising around Hampton beach.

Mine was that almost greenish dark chevy blue of that period that was popular on the Montes and Caprices. The blue in the one I posted is too blue - not enough green in it. I cried the day I was rear-ended in it (frame was bent, car was totalled). It was a travesty I tell you! Someday though, another one will be mine!
