I think the Owner/Seller of this 1978 Monte Carlo with the T-Top, 305, 4 Speed, Posi,Floor Console, Tach & Gauge, AM-FM Stereo, Power Windows is trying to say is that it is the "King of the Monte Carlo's" as far as 1978 Monte Carlo's go. Now I'm sure that there is somebody out there with a similarly optioned 1978 Monte Carlo that's in better condition than the car were talking about although I certainly can't imagine that there would be many that are equipped with as many rare and cool options as his car. If there is another 1978 Monte Carlo with similar options and most importantly the 305, 4 speed, Air Conditioning & T-Tops in better condition than his car then I would say that this car could be called the "King of the Monte Carlo's" or if there is a similarly optioned car in excellent original survivor condition or even a nice original car that's been freshened up with the same 305, 4 speed, posi, AC, Gauges and maybe the Factory Sunroof or Sliding Metal Roof then that car may be the top dog when it comes to the 1978 Monte's. I believe that all that the Owner/Seller of this really cool 1978 Monte Carlo is saying is that it didn't get much better than his car in 1978! I completely agree although the car surely needs a complete restoration. The bottom line is that it's all there or at least all of the important pieces are still with the car including it's Matching Numbers drive-train and the Monte Carlo is certainly worthy of a restoration in my opinion. Lets face it guys... they aren't building these cars any longer so cars like this Blue on Blue T-Tops 305, 4 speed, AC, Posi, Gauge car needs to be saved. I realize that a lot of you don't see the value in this car but I do and I also see the rarity which forms it's value in my opinion. It seems like you guys are so used to buying average 1978 Monte Carlo's with a 305 and AC for $1500 that you don't see the value in this very rare 4 speed T-Top restoration project and without making any effort to sound like a jerk, it seems that some of the guys on this site are downright thrifty or frugal. I say this because I didn't want to call you guys CHEAP!!! Maybe it comes from working with limited funds to buy your projects and having to work hard to piece your cars together and build what you consider a nice car. I can appreciate that as God knows that I'm just a working guy that has to do the same with my cars but I don't come down as hard on sellers or guys that buy cars just to flip them for a few bucks. Lets face it, we've all flipped cars at one time or another and we have all flipped parts and have occasionally made a few bucks. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this.. It's the American way and good old capitalism at it's hardcore roots!!! We all have a right to think what we want when it comes to our opinions regarding the condition and price of any car but why try to trash or humiliate a guy just because he is trying to make a good honest buck on a car? Why trash a guy for trying to Flip a car? Like I said, we have all flipped something at one time or another even if we flipped it and made a quick $50. The 1978 Monte Carlo 305, 4 speed, AC T-Top car is extremely rare no matter how you look at it and although I wouldn't give $6,000 for it, I believe that this car should be saved. I would have given the $2500 that he paid in a heartbeat. Anyway, I've rambled on long enough. I'm new to this forum but I'm active on many others and I just get sick and tired of guys trashing other guys because they Flip a car or because you don't agree with their sale price. If you don't agree then simply read and move on. With only a couple of post on this site even though I've watched it for years now, Id have to say that it seems like there are some great guys here who are genuinely good people who are just trying to build their cars and share their experiences with other members but there are also many negative guys here who simply have too much time on their hands! Thanks for listening to the rant and be kind to each other...it's much easier and takes a whole lot less energy than being crude, rude or outright mean. Good luck with your many cool builds. I've enjoyed many of your stories... Lightweights4me :lol: ps, Regarding the remark about the "King of the Monte Carlos", well I would agree that if we were talking about all Monte's then my favorite would be one of two that I have personally known over the years with one being a 1970 Monte Carlo in Cortez Silver with a Black Bucket Seat/Console Interior, 402, Factory 4 Speed, Tach & Gauges, AC and all power options. That car was outstanding. The other would be the one and only 1970 Monte Carlo that I've ever seen in Special Order Hugger Orange Paint code " --" with a Parchment Vinyl Roof and Black Buckets/Console Interior 402, 4 speed, Tach & Gauges NO AC... It doesn't sound all that appealing but it was awesome in person. I love the 1970-1971 Monte Carlo SS454 cars but since there were no 4 speed cars produced or at least none have been documented as of yet, the 402 4 speed cars would be my personal favorites! Thanks for your time
