1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS review from North America
"I love this car. I own a 1988 Firebird as well; it made me realize how great the Monte is"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I bought it I didn't run.
I had to rebuild the carburetor.
The headliner is falling off.
The passenger seat belt receiver won't stay up.
The T-Tops leak.
It leaks coolant somewhere into the block.
A tear in the drivers seat.
A wire shorted out the starter.
General comments?
The car is very comfortable; lots of room.
Enough space for you and 4 friends.
Turns on a dime.
A real head turner.
I get offers to sell it all the time.
It's decently quick.
