when i had my 85 elco in high school my classmates would laugh at it but when id have it out on the weekends parked at the cruise night, id have older people askin bout it all the time, what are your plans for it, whated you pay, hey i used to have one of those,etc. only a time or to did i have somone want to buy it, onnce i had an older couple want to trade a 50ish ford shoe box with flathead for it still kick myself alittle for not goin for it cause ive always wanted an old school rod. but then i woulda kicked my self for tradin it. my rotted out cutlass i had for quite a while got even more attention but normally it wasnt as good, may that rest in piece. but my monte ls gets lots of attention, faded baby bluish paint but no rust, evryone compliments how nice the original vinyl landeau top has held up, how clean the interior is even though there is no headliner. some just ask questions about it cause they never see montes with the front end like mine around here. ive thought a few were being sarcastic till they ask if id like to sell. then i go oh wow there actually diggin it, ive had offers very good offers that make my 600 dollar purchase price look like nothing. but i i have never once considered it, cause this the best one ive had yet and she aint goin no wheres. for me it feels good to have people ask about it, from young kids that yell out of windows at gas stations from the back seat hey nice car it sounds awsome, to old folks in a retirement community tellin me to hang on to it they dont make em like that any more, or random g body owners that arent driving g bodys stopping to chat about it. it honestly keeps me going, with it even though times are tight and its the only car in the household, peoples comments keep me going and optimistic that it wont be a failed project
Other than that when i did drive it a couple times last year i got: What year monte? :shock:
