Seven Hills Motorcars is proud to offer this stunning 1985
Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS in amazing condition with only 88,780
original miles. This Monte Carlo looks spectacular, runs great, and
is an excellent driver. It is clean and totally solid with great
lines. The Black (19) over Ruby Cloth (79) is a beautiful and
highly desirable color combination that looks great on the car. It
is also the correct and original color scheme as verified by the
codes on the Service Parts Identification sticker pictured in this
ad. This is an excellent opportunity to own a classic Monte Carlo
with low miles that is ready to be used and enjoyed at an
unbeatable value. One could easily buy this car now and sell it for
more than the purchase price in years to come as the market on the
4th Generation Monte Carlos is strong right now and on the rise.
The low original mileage is verified not only by the condition of
the car, but also the clear Ohio title showing the mileage as
"Actual." Please peruse all of the photos, video, and information
to get a true sense of how nice, clean, and correct this Monte
Carlo Super Sport really is.
There is a copy of the AutoCheck vehicle history report in the
photos. The report is clean, shows no accident history, and
verifies the low original mileage. The original owner's manual is
included with the car. A factory GM new old stock stripe kit is
also included with the sale and pictured in this ad.
As a side note, this Chevrolet Monte Carlo is not a dealer auction
vehicle. We hand-pick each car after careful inspection. Our
classics come from owners who expect their car to go to someone
that will give the vehicle the same care and attention as they did.
We invite and encourage you to examine the car in person or have
the car inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture.
We photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel
confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the
Monte Carlo, just give us a call.
Exterior
The Black (19) exterior is in great condition. As one can see in
the photos the finish has a terrific gloss, nice shine, and smooth
finish. The original N90 aluminum wheels are in good condition with
a bright finish and no curb rash. The Goodyear Eagle GTII white
letter tires do show some age, but have plenty of tread left and
are correctly sized 215/65R15. There are no major imperfections
that have been intentionally excluded from the photos. As one would
expect from a paintjob with this many years on it there are some
chips, some small touchups, and faint blemishes that were too tiny
to show up in the pictures, but nothing that is really noticeable
from about five or ten feet away. There is a NOS stripe kit
included in the sale. This Monte Carlo has no rust issues. As one
can see in the many photos of the underside of the car, it is very
clean underneath. We have included specific photos of the rear
spring mounts, rockers, lower quarter panels, and the area's most
prone to rust to show how nice this car looks.
Interior
The Ruby Cloth (79) interior in this Monte Carlo Super Sport is in
excellent condition. The gauge faces are crisp and clean and the
lenses are crystal clear. The door panels are in terrific shape and
the door pulls are solid and intact. The dash and console are in
great shape with no cracks, fading, or sun damage. The seats look
just as nice in person as they do in the photos with no split seams
or excessive wear. The seat is not overly worn in the typical spot
on the bolster where the driver gets in and out. Please note that
these appear to be the original seats and skins, not some cheap
covers or aftermarket replacements. The driver seat has a small
tear on seat bottom, which is visible in the photos. The carpet is
also in great condition with no holes, tears, or stains. The radio
gets good reception and sounds great. The original radio is also
included with the car. Please note that both seat belts work and
retract properly, this is a common problem and one item many buyers
do not think to check. This Monte Carlo has never been smoked in;
there are no burn marks and no aroma of cigarettes.
The trunk is very clean, highly detailed, and complete with the
original spare that has never been used, jack, jack base, jack
handle, and original decals still on the trunk lid.
Monte Carlo interiors from this era are not known to wear well, and
the excellent condition of this all original interior is a huge
testament to the meticulous care and attention this car has
received throughout its life and another great verification of the
very low original mileage.
Mechanical
This Monte Carlo SS seems to be in very good mechanical condition.
The engine starts right away every time, runs well, and idles
smoothly. It drives great and feels nice on the road and at highway
speeds, just what you would expect from a very well cared for
monte. In the video in this ad one can observe the car accelerating
on the highway up to about 70mph, shifting through all the gears,
braking to stoplight, and going through some curves. Please note
that there are no vibrations or strange noises and the car performs
quite well overall. The brakes do not pull to one side or the
other. The transmission shifts smoothly throughout the power band.
There is no blue smoke when starting or driving the car. The car
runs cool and does not overheat. Also, the engine compartment is
beautifully clean, detailed, and correct as one can see in the
photos.
The horn works as do all the exterior lights, interior lights,
wipers, dash lights, indicators, power windows, power locks, rear
window defogger, and cigarette lighter. Even detailed items like
the trunk light, hood light, and glove box light still work. All of
the gauges work and even the clock runs. The blower for the heater
and a/c works on all speeds. The a/c also works and ice cold. One
can observe the a/c compressor clicking on and engaging properly in
the video. There are no "check engine" or other warning lights that
stay on. Not enough can be said as to how much of a pleasure it is
to drive this car.
Also, for any Monte Carlo from this era you may look at, be sure to
verify that the "service engine soon" light and "choke" light are
working correctly. The lights should go on when the key is turned
on as a confirmation that the lights are working, then quickly go
off when the car is started. A great number of these Monte Carlo's
have had the bulb removed to mask other problems. As one can
observe in the video the " service engine soon" light and "choke"
lights on this car operate just as they should, going on with the
car as a check and then going off when the engine is started.
Overall Condition
Overall, this 1985 Monte Carlo SS is in magnificent original
condition. The low miles, the beautiful original color combination,
the originality, and the excellent overall condition make this car
especially important and hard to duplicate. It is very hard to find
a Monte Carlo from this era that is still in great original
condition with low mileage as most were used and abused. This Monte
Carlo always gets a ton of attention driving down the road. It is
apparent that the vehicle has been well taken care of by its
previous owners. The prices of 4th generation Monte Carlos
increased considerably over the past several years. They are secure
and wise investments for a collector. Cars like this are the
Barrett Jackson stars of the future. One...for more information
