Hello Everyone! We're New to the Forum
Hello,
My husband and I just joined this forum because we love Montes (have an 03) and now our oldest son is starting to get into cars so we are picking up a couple more this weekend we picked up cheap from Craigslist. The '01 SS is in PA (we're from KY) and the '87 T-Top SS is all the way up in MA, so it will be an adventure with the 4 boys!! Can't wait to get them home and start our project!
Glad we found this forum! Bill & Ro

Yes, I don't know how we ended up buying a couple, but we did! lol We were originally going to buy one at a local junk yard...we went there to pick up a radio for the '03 we've had for the past 4 years, but it really was not cost effective, so we found the one in Mass. which my husband (and me too!) really loves, I've had a lot of 80's Montes when I was younger but never the SS. Then I joined this forum a few days ago and looked under used cars and saw one at a dealer in Shillington, PA, which I think is part of Reading, PA. It was on the way to MA, and the car (a black '01 SS in beautiful shape, all leather, all options) was the same as the junk yard car, only never been in a wreck. It was $1951.00 because of the very high mileage, but replacing the motor (which actually runs great) was a lot less than what we would have put into the junk yard one. We almost didn't get it, because when I called, though they advertised it on the internet, they said they would not sell it and that it was scheduled to go to auction that day. We talked to the manager, and they let us have it! It's scary buying cars sight unseen!
So now my husband is going to tow the '87, and I'm driving the '01 back. I'm going to need a LOT of coffee....thank goodness the boys don't have school Monday!!!
