This is my first car, and still my favorite car. She's a 1968 Monza convertible, 95hp with the Powerglide transmission. I have driven her over 15,000 miles in the last 17 years. She was purchased new in Absecon, NJ, from Bartlett Chevrolet, and passed through two other owners before I bought her in eastern Pennsylvania, in 1987.

All road failures have involved the fan belt, which took me 2 years to figure out properly. Since getting it right, I have had no problems at all with the car. She's extremely reliable, always starts on the first or second try, and runs at 70 mph all day without a problem.
