that's a pretty good deal i have an 88 ss with 159k on it that needs some quarter panel work, and i'm asking 1,900.00 for it. remember though in 85 the rear was like 3:42 instead of 3:73 in the 87- 88. also the 85 ss the interior trim pieces werea one years only so they will be hard to find if you need to replace. also the the rear area above the bumper and below the trunk deck the piec in there is known to rust out (the metal) and the plasitic in that area bubbles. i would look for an 87, or an 88. i have owned 2 81 montes, 2 84 montes, 85 ss, 88 ss and an 87 areocoupe, i still have the 87, 88. ghood luck with it if you need any help let me know i know these cars in and out. thanks.
also the 305 in that is 180 hp, and that isnot to the wheels.

Yeah. My Mom has an '86 Monte Carlo SS, those things are all gear.

They'll pull decent until you hit about 60 and they fall flat on their face. It's a nice driving car, I'd love on for a DD.
