Ask anyone else who has owned a Monte Carlo SS, Chevrolet didn't do any better with the fit and finish on the rubber noses on these cars. Yes you're right about that! I was in my teens back then in the late 80s working at a body shop doing a lot of odd jobs and buffing etc. and I distinctly remember a couple of monte Carlo SS's Rolling through the shop in the fit and finish was a bit sketchy LOL but I always thought they were good looking cars that should've had more power.

I was working at a Chevrolet Dealership and ordered an '86 Monte SS for my wife. It toke me a whole day to get the front end to line up and I was lucky since ours was one of the better ones. We drove it off and on for 17 years and 98k miles. Sold it for what I paid for it. Not a bad deal and the car ran perfectly, always serviced and garaged. Won first in class at Sonoma Ca. Super Chevy Magazine show in '88 and '90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTrucker Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 That is a great color on the SS Camino's! Something about them in white just grabs you! But then I'm a sucker for any Elcamino. I've owned 2. A 59 and a 77! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
