Good Morning to all from Kansas. It's Brisk cool Morning here, Sunny! Found an '86
Monte Carlo SS for sale. Body seems to be straight with Original Maroon Met Paint. Hood is an aftermarket Cowl Induction Fiberglass, Interior is rough. Motor & trans are gone- but owner has a 350 & Turbo 350 Trans to
thrown in for $ 1800.00. I think I will go look at this in Afternoon. Maybe I can get for
1500. ??
Wish me Luck.

-Mark.

Decided to go to license branch and check on my personalized plate. I cant gat 1BADRT, already gone. I can get CHLNGME with no spaces. Bad thing is my plates arent due till October and they make me pay for next years plate. I will have to wait on that. Then I was near the casino and put a twenty in and cashed oit for 270. Taking my truck down to have a glass pack put on it. Wisely spend 60. Oh well so far the day is going great.

Thanks. I'm going to need luck. I'm sure it's rougher than what the pics show - but
worth a look ! I would like to know the #'s off the 350 & the Trans. You never know
- it may be an L48 or L82 ... or?
