I think Joe is right. Some are off a little. Kinda like the stripes. None are exactly the same. But this one is where it should be.

Car is in super shape-----my hat goes off to the owners for not letting it rot in some field .....

Great car. I wish it was in my garage, but I'm a little off the money on this one.

The tach is pretty much where it should be, hard to tell from the pics. Joe's tach is exactly where mine is/was - I gave my original hood to neal for a template for Joe's car

Linda,
I'm assuming the NOS fenders would go with the car if you sold it? I remember a pair of them against the back wall when we were there.

Hi Marlin, I'm almost positive Earl is going to let the fenders go with the car. Can't imagine what we would do with them. That is the original spare on the back. Joe, can't believe you have a picture of the salesman!!! We got a big chuckle out of that. Talk about a trip down memory lane. Let me explain about the dust since that seems to be a big issue. As I said previously, Earl runs an excavation business. When he comes home from a job he puts the equipment back in the garage, sometimes dirt, mud, and all!! This equipment sits in the bay right next to the cars and when we sweep this bay out, guess what?? DUST!!
Doug had his Monte Carlo out in late November last year, cleaned it all up and took it for a ride. When he came back he parked it in the garage next to the Deuce and within two weeks it was covered with dust again. It's not that we don't try to take care of these cars. We did install an exhaust fan in the equipment side of the garage to see if that helps some. Also a public thanks to Tom for getting the pics posted for us. We don't plan on messing around with this much longer. Afraid of getting accused of causing hard feelings amongst you guys again. Hope to make a decision real soon. Thanks, Linda

Marlin, Do you happen to remember what year your pictures were taken? Also Earl put a Lakewood bellhousing on the car and would like to keep it. We do have the original bellhousing to go with the car. Have seen some beautiful cars on this site. Especially loved the pictures of the Deuce with the Monte next to it. Linda

Linda, Brian Henderson and I were there Feb. 19, 2000, you can see Brian in one of the pics - standing in front of the NOS fenders that were leaning up against the wall.

The original bellhousing will have a part number cast into it, ending with the numbers ...621. It's an 11" aluminum unit that was commonly replaced. (In fact, another deuce had the clutch let go during some 'spirited' driving. The clutch stuff struck a bellhousing attaching bolt dead-on, and took it right off the block - ruining the block. This deuce has a 427 in it from that day on, and a scattershield - the owner figured he step up the power & the protection).

The Monte SS thing is purely coincidental, and makes me chuckle each time I see one parked next to a deuce. It is just one of those things that make you go 'hmmmmm', a deuce and a Monte SS - a lot of deuce owners think alike I guess. (I too would own one if the cards were right, but so far - not yet).

Marlin, Never could figure out who that was in the background of the pics. For a long time thought it was our neighbor. Thanks for enlightening me. I've always loved the monte ss. I really enjoyed running that car. When we decided we needed a new vehicle after I graduated nursing school we thought about trading it. We certainly didn't need any more cars sitting around but I really hated to part with it. That's when we came up with the idea to give it to Doug for graduation. We're glad we kept it in the family. We bought the car used, think the original owner was from Ohio. Linda

Linda,

Please do not take offense at some of the comments posted in this whole thread. Everyone here is just very passionate about these cars and sometimes tend to get carried away. You sound like a truly wonderful person and I have had just a great time reading your stories about the car and its history with your family.....obviously it means a lot to you!! Like some others here, I hope you find it possible to just keep the car and get it going again. You would not need to do a restoration or anything....just clean it a bit and drive it.

Thanks again for your contributions here

and I hope we all get to hear more from you in the future

Linda will you take payments over 30 years? If so I can make a good offer.
