General comments?
This is my very first car (Black 1981 Monte Carlo) I only paid $200.00 for it.
The poor thing wouldn't even do over 50km on the highway until I took it to a mechanic and spent $40.00 to fix the air-fuel mixture and the idle.
Last Summer,I'd made it from the Okanagan to Medicine Hat . As far as I'm concerned, it's already paid for itself.
If you want a fast, sexy, muscle-looking car- without paying an arm and a leg for gas- this is by far the sweetest car.
If you're into the whole thing, and want to throw a big boomin' stereo into a car like this ,then I recommend that you get a Monte. As with my Monte I'll be putting ten 10" subs into the trunk, air bags for bouncin', some rims and then it'll be the sweetest car in town.
