i dont think i know where lineville is, but if its in Bama its all the same haha

 

Welcome! Sounds like an awesome car. I love first Gen Monte's. I live in Huntsville. What town are you in?

 

im in flat rock. bout 30 min northeast of scottsboro. Sand Mountain area.

 

Welcome to the Forum!

 

Just down the road! Well, compared to most others on the Forum. Just over an hour from me (a little southeast of Huntsville). I've not been to Flat Rock, but I've been nearby. Beautiful area.

 

not far at all. and thanks man. ever go to rod run? or know any other good shows around here?

 

Haven't heard of rod run. When / where is it held? Doesn't seem to be many good old car shows around here. Either that or I'm just too busy / distracted to hear about them.

 

FYI... I have a few old cars that take up my time, but no classic American muscle like yours. My daughter drives a '73 Mercedes 220. My son had been driving an '86 Jaguar XJ6 that I got back in good running condition (getting ready to sell it). And my old car is a '90 Jag XJS (5.3L V12) that I use whenever weather conditions preclude riding. I commute on two wheels most days. I maintain them myself to the extent possible, but get help from a great local mechanic when I'm in over my head.

 

rod run is in pigeon forge/ gatlinburg! its a huge car show. i love it. its the 3rd weekend in april and 3rd weekend in september. ive never really delt with imports that much. I have a 1967 Ford Galaxie 500 FB with a 390 in it that im about to start restorin. Figure ill fix it up and sell it, or trade it for a chevy haha

 

Why sell the Galaxie? Even though this is a Monte Carlo site there is lots of love for things non Chevy here. This is a great site and welcome. I look forward to hearing more about your Monte and your Galaxie. I own lots of cars and one of them is a 67 Thunderbird also with a 390. It needs a full restoration. I parked it 13 years ago and brought it to Florida because it doesn't hold oil pressure. I'm in central Florida. There are lots of shows and cruises here all the time.
