1985 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Sport Coupe review from North America
"Stylish beauty"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine has begun to leak oil.
Leather trim on the seats are starting to rip.
The fuse for the interior keeps on blowing, and I've had to replace it many times.
The left-rear quarter and also the trunk has minor rust problems.
The factory stereo tuner does not seem to be working any longer.
Needs a new headliner and a new carpet.
General comments?
The car runs beautifully, and is great on gas.
The engine has a lot of power, and I can do brake stands with no trouble at all.
The interior is very roomy, and is very well done.
The body looks like a model, nice curves, and a nice rear end.
