The last of the V8 rear-wheel-drive Monte Carlo SS coupes have a strong followingand#44; and they seem to be the right muscle car for guys who have outgrown their Camaro fixation. This 1984 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS is a very tidy example thats been well-maintained but not modifiedand#44; making it the one to own if youve been looking for one of these cool coupes. To my eyeand#44; blue was the most attractive of the SS colorsand#44; since it shows off the stylish Monte Carlo shape as well as the unique SS details without hiding them in a plain black or white paint scheme. It looks to have been repainted at some pointand#44; and that paint is in very good condition showing only light signs of age and the urethane ground effects and bumper covers arent damaged or cracked. The requisite SS stripes are still bright and crisp and arent peeling from the body and they showed remarkable restraint with the subtle lip spoiler on the trunk lid. It does not appear to have ever been hit or rustyand#44; and with the way those giant doors fitand#44; theres little doubt that this is a solid car in all the areas that matter. Some of these cars got T-topsand#44; but for a solid structure and a quiet interiorand#44; a hardtop like this is what you really want. It has lived its life in the southand#44; so the dreaded tin worm is obviously a non-issue. For such an affordable carand#44; this ones in really good shape. Most SS models got the same GM burgundy cloth interiorand#44; but obviously that wouldnt work with blue paintand#44; so this one carries blue buckets and a consoleand#44; lending the formal Monte Carlo a sporting character inside. The upholstery is in excellent condition with only very minor signs of use and age on the drivers seat and a passengers seat that looks almost new. Headliners were always a problem on these cars and they tend to sag after a few yearsand#44; but youll be pleased to learn that the headliner in this car looks almost new. The Monte Carlo came loadedand#44; and this car includes power windows and locksand#44; A/Cand#44; a tilt steering columnand#44; and cruise controland#44; al befitting its luxury car heritage. The original Delco radio is goneand#44; replaced by a JVC AM/FM/CD head unit that was professionally installed so the dash wasnt hacked up. And as the last of GMs big rear-wheel-drive luxury coupesand#44; it offers a cavernous trunk complete with original space-saver spare. Chevys 305 cubic inch small block V8 was the only engine availableand#44; and in 1984 it used a 4-barrel carburetor to make 180 horsepower and a nice wallop of traditional V8 torque. Despite being one of the most modification-friendly engines ever createdand#44; this one remains entirely stock which is good news for guys who value authenticity. Even the cold air intake for the stock air cleaner remains intact. The engine bay is tidy and well-maintainedand#44; including the A/C systemand#44; and everything works properly. Backed by a 200-R4 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission and acceleration-friendly 3.73 gearsand#44; its surprisingly quick around townand#44; yet just loafs along on the highway. The undercarriage is quite original but shows no obvious signs of troubleand#44; and it wears cool REV wheels and 225/70/15 radials. We sell every one of these we can get our hands onand#44; so theres obviously a strong following out there. Cleanand#44; well-maintained Monte Carlo SS coupes are getting harder to find all the timeand#44; so dont delayand#44; call now! |
