This is my 2001 Monte SS. I bought it in 2001 with 9,000 miles. This is my daily driver. It has around 130,000 miles now, the biggest repair being the infamous GM Intake manifold gasket. Otherwise It's a very reliable car. The original battery lasted over 6 years. I've been pinstriping vehicles since 2000 and didn't touch this one 'til 2003, adding red along the fender flares. I messed with it until 2005 when I cleaned it up with white stripes only. This year I found some rare blue striping and upgraded the look more.
