1986 Monte Carlo S.S. SOLD!!!
PICS ADDED...see post #11
This is a factory 1986 Monte Carlo S.S., which was purchased in Woodstock, IL. The car is black with a burgundy bucket seat interior. Some of the options are:
- Original 305 H.O. (G-Motor) with Rochester 4bbl carb and TH700R 4-speed automatic trans.
- Dual Exhaust (original to the car)
- Factory S.S. Suspension
- Factory Hatch Roof (a.k.a. T-Tops)
- 120 m.p.h. Speedo
- A/C
- AM/FM Stereo Cassette w/ equalizer
- Tilt Wheel
- Console with T-shift lever
- Power Trunk Release
- Rear Window Defogger
- Space Saver Spare
- Factory Aluminum Wheels
- Power Door Locks
- Power Windows
In 1992, the car was vandalized badly and the repair bills were close to totaling the car. Using ONLY G.M. Parts, the car was repaired and repainted using Centari undercoat and PPG paint. Originally, this car would have been clear coated. When it was repainted, it was decided to use another paint process, where clear coat would not be applied, to increase the shine of the paint.
Again, this was back when clear coats were peeling off of cars constantly.
In 1992, the car was driven for the last time in the winter on it's way home from the body shop. Since, other than moving the car between storage spaces, this car has ONLY been driven in the summers since 1993. In 1988, and at 40K miles, the original owner began using Slick 50 Oil Treatment to preserve engine life. I continued this tradition for about 3 years after I got it. I began to use other oil treatments since.
THE GOOD:
- The car is as close to original as possible.
- It still has the original exhaust.
- It also has the original hoses and (I believe 2 original fan belts)
*** The factory numbers are still stamped on them ***
I have had people offer to buy the hoses and belts off of me, but figured this would ruin the provenance of the car.
I believe I have an extra air cleaner, which is kind of rusty, which I was going to use and cut to make an "open air cleaner". I also have another T-Shift Lever and air cleaner hose NOS...which will come with the car. There is also a Monogram model of a 1986 Monte Carlo S.S., factory service manuals, factory updates, brochures, post card for the 1986 Monte Carlo and unused/unopened rear floor mats, which will come with the car as well.
- In July, 1994, the car was used in a Chevrolet commercial, that was shot in Waukegan over the July 4th weekend. The spot aired one time during the Fiesta Bowl in 1995 and showed the car for about 1 second. I think my father may still have the video.
THE BAD:
- I opened my own business and need to sell this car.
- The left turn signal will not flash and the front marker light does not come on. I have changed the bulb to no avail. I think it's a bad socket, but not completely sure. Unless the car gets sold, when I have the time I will figure this out.
- At idle, there is a noise coming from one belt. If I recall correctly, it is the generator belt. If you spray belt dressing on it, the sound goes away completely for 10 seconds. After then, the noise slowly returns.
- The snorkel inlet on the original air cleaner is bent.
- The interior rear view mirror slides up and comes off REALLY easily!!! The metal piece is still on the windshield, but the plastic piece between the mirror and it doesn't stay put if you move the mirror. Currently, it takes 2 hands to move the mirror properly, so it does not come off, but it has never fallen off while driving.
I will start out asking $11,000.00 for the car, Edelbrock tubular Exhaust (boxed-in the trunk), couple of extra parts and display pieces as described.
