•Original Super Sport model (RPO code Z65; VIN code G)
•One of 41,164 SS models made in 1986
•305 CID High-output V-8 engine with four-barrel carb (codes B4V and L69)
•Turbo Hydramatic 200-4R four-speed automatic transmission (code MW9) and 3.73 gearing
•Gunmetal Gray exterior with Medium Dark Gray cloth interior (code 91)
•Air-conditioning (code C60), power recirculating ball steering, power four-wheel brakes with discs in front, cruise control (code K34), power locks, power windows, tilt steering column and rear window defroster
•Documentation includes period-specific Haynes Repair Manual for 1970-1988 Monte Carlos
Reintroduced in 1983, the Chevrolet Monte Carlo quickly became an aspirational vehicle in the Bowtie Brand’s line-up, especially if a Corvette or Camaro was financially out of reach.
The ’83 Monte Carlo SS featured European body color-coding, a new front fascia, a rear spoiler, performance axle ratio, F41 suspension package, model specific wheels and tires and a variety of interior upgrades.
The 1984 Monte Carlo received a five-horsepower boost. By 1985, the color palette widened beyond the original white and dark blue metallic, adding black, dark maroon metallic and silver metallic.
The Super Sport model for 1986 incorporated the “aero” mirrors that replaced the sport or Rally sideview mirrors, yet still utilized the prior year's styling for the rear bumper.
This example was made in General Motors’ Arlington, Texas factory (VIN code R), which made about 25% of the total SS production.
Repainted in Gunmetal Gray, the car’s paint and trim are in overall very good order. Wearing its full SS regalia and trim, the Super Sport version stood head-and-shoulders above the other Monte Carlos in the lineup. The engine bay is clean.
This G-body rolls on BFGoodrich Radial T/A radials, size P235/60R15 (code QYH) at every corner. Each one is mounted on an aluminum cast wheel with 4.75-inch bolt circles (code N90). The wheels are in good, original order while the tires are in very good order.
Under the hood is a high-output version of the 305 CID V-8 engine with a Rochester Quadrajet four-barrel carburetor (code L69). Backing the motor is a Turbo-Hydramatic 200-4R four-speed automatic transmission (code MW9) and a 3.73:1 final drive ratio. Driver convenience features include air-conditioning (code C60), power recirculating ball steering, power four-wheel brakes with discs in front, cruise control (code K34), power locks, power windows, tilt steering column and a rear window defroster.
Inside, the car’s medium dark gray cloth interior has held up well. The Monte Carlo SS was available with Strato bucket seats and floor console as extra-cost options for the first time in place of the standard split bench seat with armrest. This SS has the full complement of gauges (code U39) – speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure gauges, coolant temperature, volts and a trip odometer. A console-mounted shifter separated driver and passenger. The front bucket seats and the rear bench seat are in great shape, as is the matching carpeting, headliner and inner door liners. A two-spoke steering wheel faces the driver while the factory Delco-Bose AM/FM stereo with seek-scan and auto-reverse cassette deck (code UM6) complete the interior.
Documentation includes a period-specific Haynes Repair Manual for 1970-1988 Monte Carlos.
By 1986, personal luxury coupe market had started to fade – Buick’s Regal, Ford’s Thunderbird, Honda’s Prelude, Mercury’s Cougar, Oldsmobile’s Cutlass Supreme, Pontiac’s Grand Prix were all that remained of this once popular category.
If you owned one of these in high school or when you were in college and you’d like another chance to get behind the wheel, you found your second chance at Mission Classics. Stop by today to check out this survivor before someone else claims it first.
