Pontiac Montana SV6 FWD

At my advancing age I thought I had this out of my system but not so. I recently purchased this 73 Dart Sport 340 on a BAT auction. I am wondering if anyone knows anything about this car, originally purchased and “upgraded” by the Montana owner as the story goes. An 8-3/4 with 3:91 Sure Grip under it and I was surprised it had a set of X-Heads (Red Springs) not mentioned in the listing. It’s a snappy car and the small 215/75-14 tires probably won’t last me long. I’ll know more once I get... Read more

I teach a basics automotive class for one of our local high schools here in Montana. Just two 45 minute elective classes a week (I am a preacher by trade). This years project/homework... A 1972 FJ55. Found it locally. I pulled over the first day it was on the side of the road with a for sale sign in it. The gentleman who owned it wanted more than I was willing to pay. I passed. It sat for sale for a few months before the owner lowered the price a bit, so I swung back by for a closer look... Read more

Picked this truck up in Montana. Its been a couple weeks, but tearing it apart pretty quick so thought I would start this build. My Dad and I drove his 6.4l Hemi Ram from WI to Helena MT to get this rig. Drove through Yellowstone on way home. What a great park! Truck is mostly complete. Rear bed needs work so that's where I’m going to start. Cab in pretty good shape. Needs rocker repairs and some box work behind main floor. Metal roof dented and gas some oil canning, but not rusted... Read more

Hello all, I purchased this beautiful 1966 Barracuda in Montana last summer and just got it tucked into my garage in Lake Stevens, WA. Happy to be a part of this group! My wife's family has a LONG history of Barracudas in the family. Her dad had a first week's production 1964 with a 4 speed and she remembers riding in that car growing up. Kevin

Well, here goes again! After selling my G-Wagon, I wanted something that was better suited to a daily driver, and something that got better than 15mpg on the highway... So, I bought another Prado: This one is a 1991 SX5 with an R150f 5-speed manual. It is absolutely bone stock, with a whopping 107k km on the clock. Factory electric winch (as far as I could tell it had never been used till I got it), and an original cylinder head. So far I have put about 2000km on it in my... Read more

Figured it was time to give my '97 LX450 a build thread. I'm Aaron, based in Bozeman, Montana. The truck goes by TRPLOK, Triple Lock, or just the Lexus. It's a trail truck with leather seats, built around traction, gearing, protection, self-recovery and enough camp comfort to stay out for a while. The dash shows roughly 225,000 miles, though...

Hey everyone! I wanted to share some pictures of my new project, a 1977 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 with 68,000 miles on the odometer. I’m located in Montana and recently picked this one up in California. From what I can tell, it has minimal rust for its age and appears to be a pretty complete, mostly original truck with OEM parts and no aftermarket modifications that I’ve noticed. I’m new to restoring these, so I’m learning as I go. One thing I’m currently dealing with is a mouse infestation... Read more

I am currently stuck in Montana trying to get home to Mn. In my 2001 LC but I had a power failure that has left me kinda stranded. Going up a hill on interstate 94 I loss power but the rigs runs ,?all gauges look good but check engine light and the 2 vac l track and off lights are on. I drove on the shoulder for almost 2 hours at 5-10 mph trying to make it to a decent sized town…, I get no reaction giving it more gas pedal no reeving or RPM increase. I finally pulled over, started it again... Read more

I have been meaning to start a build thread since 2017 when we got her. There have been a few distractions with my boys projects that have slowed the start. The fam made an adventure out of it to fly to Nanaimo, BC to pick it up and drive it back to Texas. We drove in the winter through Yellowstone and made it to TX with a water pump glitch that was sorted out in Missoula Montana.

Looks like some Toyota dealers are offering 10% off and free shipping on online parts orders. I am in WA so I ordered from Lithia Toyota of Billings Montana to get the order no tax as well. As always shop around. The part I needed was amazingly not available from the cheaper overseas sources.

Lucid Owners · Dr Chill · 2 Oct 2026

I usually purchase my cars with cash and register them under my Montana LLC. I have a registered agent in Montana that always does the title work for me because the dealerships I buy from usually don't know the intricacies of how to do it because the process is different than registering a car for an individual person in Montana. Has anyone had Lucid register their new Lucid Air car under their business in Montana?
