Nice collection you have! Appears you have a lot of work in the '74. Nice. Hope to meet some MC owners face to face some time.
My Monte was a trade-in on a Jeep at a dealer in East Peoria IL. I talked to the previous owner who only drove it to work 2-3 days a week. Never driven on out of town trips. It has been meticulously maintained. The only reason they traded it was they had to transport the wife's elderly parents- needed a 4-door.
The dealer did their usual inspection and didn't like the tire noise coming from the 7,500 mile Goodyears so they replaced them with Pirelli all season. Probably Pirelli's cheapest tire but can't argue with new.

I might have seen you around Scooby! I live just east of you, at Sappington & Manchester. Mine's a 2007 white Monte. I'm in the Webster-Kirkwood area, just off Manchester. Do you ever shop at the big WalMart at 141 & Manchester? I took pictures of a black Monte like your's that was in the parking lot there once.

That Vette is beautiful!!!
I still don't understand the reasoning behind putting the stripes on the passenger side as well, but it's still an amazing car.

I don't either but that was the design team's call. I considered putting it on the driver's side only but then some might ask, "Why isn't it on both sides?", as they do when looking at a '96 Grand Sport.
