my forum name is a my actual name, and i'm 36. i'm a long time monte enthusiast and owner.

my first car was a grayish white 78 w/ a 305, second a blue 71 w/ a 350.

my latest car is a fully loaded (minus the block heater) 2006 Victory Red SS that i bought with nearly 300K miles on it. i'm a contractor by trade and the economic collapse bascially killed any hope i had of owning a 7th gen brand new... so i filed the dream away until i could find a cheap one to really enjoy and modify. now here i am with another well used monte trying to keep it on the road for a few more decades!

once i get this one sorted, it's on to the holy grail... a white 83 ss. then the color scheme (USA FTW!) and my personal collection will be complete.

 

Welcome to the forums Stephen

 

Hello and welcome..

Would it be out of line to ask a ballpark price you paid for a 7th gen with 300k?

Just curious really.. I got my 02 bonneville with a little over 320k for 600 and its been going for about 6 years now without a single thing going wrong with it other than battery..

 

Welcome! 300k miles!? You are a brave one. Sounds like you have a similar goal as me - I want an 87 SS (preferably an Aerocoupe) at some point.
