1985 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS review from North America
"It was a great daily driver that looked good"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
During the years I had it, it was minimal. I would say electronic stuff that was connected to the alarm system that was installed by whom I don't know.
The doors began to rust and the hinges sagged and needed replacement.
The interior ceiling (forget what it's called) needed to be redone.
General comments?
The car looked mean, handled decent, sounded throaty, and let me beat the balls off it. Don't expect to win races, it was a great daily driver.
