Vehicle Description
This car is a rare find. It's not only a one owner car with
unbelievably low mileage, it's also a 1980s Muscle car in the old
school tradition of body on frame construction. So, it's a near
perfect survivor of the last of a breed, and, it's a Monte
Carlo.
Check out this striking paint. It's original of course, laid on
there by the factory 34 years ago, and it looks as good now as it
did back then. It is code 27U and 27L, Light French Blue Metallic
and Medium Sapphire Blue Metallic. The shape of the body cuts lines
that were unique in 1984 and are even more-so today. It leads with
sharp, crisp lines defining the front end with quad headlights set
on each side of a black out grill. The hood starts low, raking up
and back, feeding into a roofline that ends with an upright rear
window. Down the side, there is Monte Carlo SS script on the doors.
An SS wing on the trunk handles the downforce on the rear at speed,
and the body lines all come together cleanly for a great look from
the rear. Finishing things out right, are a couple chrome tailpipes
singing their song and letting the world know that you are driving
something special too.
Open the door and check out this interior. Dark Royal Blue, (trim
code 22D) with a wood dash. It's perfect. This car was ordered with
the code AR9 reclining European style bucket seats, which are just
asking for someone to sit in them (remember, that hasn't happened
much on this car!) and there is a big, comfortable arm rest on the
door panel. So, jump in, have a seat and check out the view of the
gauges. Set up like they should be. Engine monitoring in the
center, tach off to the right, and speedo to the left. But this is
no stripped down hot-rod. This is a personal luxury hot rod. The
wood treatment on the dash is gorgeous! And it has all the luxury
features like power windows and locks, tilt and cruise, and of
course power steering and brakes. You may notice the lack of a
radio. In another rare find, this car was also ordered radio
delete, code UL5, and it remains original as ordered with no
radio.
Have I mentioned how original and perfect this car is yet? Well
that continues under the hood. It is as neat and clean and original
as the day it was built. The SS designation means that it has an
upgraded version of the 305-cubic inch V8 that pumps out a bit more
torque and horsepower than its stable mates. That power flows back
through a 3-speed automatic transmission to a solid rear axle
located by trailing arms with coil springs and a sway bar keeping
body roll down. Up front, control arms with another beefy sway bar
that is matched nicely with the rear bar, makes this a nice
handling machine. Power front disc brakes give you confidence that
you can reign things back in again if you decide to let the horses
run a bit. The car looks great sitting on its stock steel wheels
with polished trim rings and 215/65R15 Goodyear Eagle GT rubber all
around.
Come on down and check out this rare find. You might decide that
you should be its second owner.
