Im a new member here. Im a general service tech and i actually find 300-600 beat up montes on craigslist and fix em up to collect. Have 2 working and 4 almost working.

 

Hello newbie Sean, how is that working out for you, collecting dog dead Montes. Ever come across any odd ones during your searches?

 

Well It's been pretty good thus far. If you check out my pucs you can see the two ones I have running. What got me started was when I was looking for a new car, a buddies friend had one that was slowly dying and he sold it to me cheap. I put maybe 10 hours of work going through each code and Fixing it and its driven fine ever since this day. I love the reliability. As for odd ones, this one is a Pace car and the other is a Jeff Gordon. The other ones I have are standard SS's but Im looking to :experiment" on them.

 

Welcome to MCF, Sean!

 

Thanks! Ive been using this site to guide my repairs, finallt decided to join in the fun.

 

Great stable you're starting to build. Make sure to show us some pictures when you can.

 

Welcome to the forum! If i wasn't so broke and a full time student i'd love to do what you're doing. Sounds like fun

 

Im doing school and stuff too its been a slow process thus far. As you can tell though, besides the rent, insurance and other bills, i kinda snail along on these. I get like 1 part a month lol. Keep an eye on craigslist. Most of em only have like 100-300 worth of problems and the rest you can "work with" just avoid the big stuff, thats what I do. I keep away from blown engines and bad transmissions haha. As for space, I keep em at my dads place. Hes got an old barn at the back of the propert, i keep em stored there.

But its a fun hobby if you have the time. Thanks for the reply, maybe when youre done school you can try it!
