Thanks.
Speaking of money spent, left to right I paid $1150, $1200, and $650.

Street Smart - I love the Monte. I owned a 1971 that I paid $200 for in complete working condition. Including working AC. It was what we refer to up here in the rust belt as a 'winter beater'. Rusted bad but ran great. With a pair of snow tires it went everywhere I asked it to go. I ran it every winter through college and even loaned it to a little brother one summer. It lives on in various places like the disk brakes in the yellow one and the block I made into a 383 which resides in the truck.
