Yes I do......

My faded green Super Sport before the restoration...

Let's see the Green

So with Kevin's help, I learn that the truck has been in a town just 10 mins south of my location all these years... a NYS inspection was just done a few weeks ago. It's good knowing that it's still in the area...Now to found out which inspection station... Steve

Thanks Kevin.....

thanks John !

Just received mine in the mail today...As John mentions, great article and picture layout..... Congrats Ted !

I would like to locate a truck that I special order back in 1994. I would like to know from the members here if they have use the Carfax report and does it give you specifics as to current location etc... Any other suggestions ? I still have the vin # from the truck.. Thanks

Same here...... Bill moved my Bel Air from NC to NY......excellent service !! Steve

Very interesting Walt ! Steve

My brother is a retired Sheriff Deputy here in New York, his career started in the late 1980's and lasted 25 years. He drove every make and model from the Big Three auto makers. Hands down, the Chevrolet Caprice was his favorite model ( 1991-96 ) to drive !

LOL..... Thanks Joe

Just returned from the Dealership.....new battery, no charge ! Steve

I appreciate all the input on this post..... The battery cost me $156 last year...I'm sure the cost went up, maybe it will be prorated ?

So before I did anything, I went ahead and took the battery from my everyday driver ( 2007 GMC passenger van ) and installed it in the Monte Carlo. The car started right up ! I don't understand how a brand new battery ( 11 mos. old ) would have the charging issue ?

I'll keep you guys posted.... I work a 12hr over night schedule, my rotation will be done Wednesday morning, so I'll look into it again Wednesday afternoon..... Thanks for all the input ! Steve

Thanks for your input Robin

Thanks Joe

Joe - just checked the horn, brake lights and headlights.... all work. Just strange... after 35 years of ownership, never had this happen... Thanks

Exactly. Nothing on the dash regarding idiot lights / gauge movement....It's a HO 305 V8 with the automatic transmission... it's a low mileage car that's been covered and stored correctly since I purchased it back in 1986. I'll check the wiring tomorrow before heading off to work if I have time. Thanks !

I'm not sure if I'm having a battery issue or if there is something else with the charging system on my '86 Monte Carlo. I normally get six years or so on a new battery ( AC Delco ), last April, I replace it. During the winter months / storage , I remove the battery cables...when I'm ready to start it, I'll hook up the cables and place the Battery Tender on it. Once I have the steady green light on the Battery Tender, the car would always start right up - but not this time. So I hooked up my old Diehard Battery charger, switch it over to the 50amp starter mode.... nothing. I switched the mode over the 10amp and let the battery sit for the day and let it charge...still nothing. The under hood light comes on, interior lights come on... is there something else that I should be looking at? Thanks

Yup... very common color for model year 1969. All three of mine '69 Chevrolet's are Frost Green. Steve ( Frost King 🙂 )

Walt - I 100% agree ! Been reading it the past few nights, very impressive ! Steve
