1981 Chevrolet Monte Carlo LS review from North America
"A old nice luxury car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace all brakes and brake lines.
Had to rebuild the transmission.
Had to replace the alternator.
Roof liner keeps falling down.
Water leaks from the passenger side vent.
Had to replace the master cylinder.
Had to fix the vinyl top.
Power windows sometimes work.
General comments?
The car is pretty reliable. It is nice and quick with the 350 small block 4 BBL carburator.
The car handles smoothly.
