I'm familiar with Monty who has written a book that I've bought before. As I have a lot of Ed Sanow's books on vehicle history and I've contributed to on one of his last books Encyclopedia of American Police Cars. That Adam 12 car is an excellent example of a restored Matador. I remember a few of those out there and wasn't sure if it was the David Brooks car or the East Coast build which was a very well done car. Thanks for letting me know it was Monty's car.
Yes, that one missing MN car was a trooper's car and vaporized into the mist somewhere out west after being sold on eBay three or four years ago. There is an original 1970 MN car also in the area of Scottsdale AZ that is being restored too ever so slowly but I'm sure it's going to be sometime after the guy gets back from the sandbox in about a year.
It's interesting to see the old cars.
