One Owner - Rust Free - Low Mileage

You are viewing a privately owned 1980 Chevrolet Monte Carlo!
Classic Cars Online is helping the estate of the original owner  that has passed away.
You will be purchasing this beautiful vehicle directly from his estate. He purchased the vehicle on September 29, 1979.
His family and  friends are helping us put together this listing. This one owner Monte Carlo has never seen any winter weather and is rust free with the help of it being undercoated  and rustproofed when it was new. Currently the odometer is showing 51,200 miles. These are the original miles. The vehicle comes with a free and clear Ohio title  that is ready to be notarized and signed over to the new owner.

Body & Paint:

The factory color is "21L" Light Blue Metallic. From what we can tell, it still looks like the whole vehicle has the original paint. The paint is in very good  condition without any fading, checking, or other problems. It has always been stored indoors and out of the elements. It also has never been driven in any winter  weather keeping this car solid and rust free.  Additionally, it looks like the owner used extra rustproofing on a lot of the trim items and areas. As you can see in  a few of the photos, a lot of the trim items will need some extra cleaning and detailing to remove the excess undercoating. (photo #32) Kerosene works well with removing any unwanted tar/undercoating. The driver's mirror  was broken from road debris and replaced at one time. It will still need to be painted to match body color.  (photo #33) There is also one scratch on the top of the passenger front fender.  (photo #30)    

Chrome & Trim:

There is one piece of stainless steel trim above the driver's door that has been dented/scratched. (From the same road debris as the mirror incident.)  (photo #29) The rest of the trim is in pretty good condition and will only need a little  cleaning and detailing to bring it back to new. The original hood ornament was stolen. The owner had purchased a new one, but currently it is still missing. (May  find it before the car sells.) The deluxe color correlated body side moldings still has a lot undercoating on them and should clean up fine. 

Interior:

The blue cloth interior is all original. It shows very little wear if any. No tears, marks, burn holes or discoloration. Near perfect. The door panels look new along  with the dash area and all the control buttons/knobs. From what we can tell, all of the electrical items are working correctly. The lights, wiper, horn, gauges,  radio, rear defogger,along with the air conditioning. The air conditioning blows cool but may need a quick topping off of Freon to make it 100%. The carpet and  headliner both look good without any problems or fading. The steering wheel is not cracking or showing any wear. 

Glass:

All of the glass windows are in great condition without any cracks, chips, or delaminating problems.  The side windows go up and down with any issues. The windshield is free of any stone chips or wiper marks. The rear glass has a factory Electric Rear Window Defogger.

Wheels & Tires:

The tires have been replaced with Pirelli P300 P195/75R14 white walls. Some still even have the blue coating on the white walls.  (photo #35) The tires are mounted on the stock 14" rims with the factory hub caps. The hub  caps are nice, but could use a good cleaning to make them pop. The spare tire looks new. 

Trunk Compartment:

The trunk area looks like it did when the vehicle was new. Everything is in its place including the spare tire, jack and jacking tools. (Trunk Photo) This area is also rust free and was properly treated with rustproofing. The  weather stripping around the trunk looks great.  (Photo #72)

Chassis - Frame & Undercarriage:

  The entire underside is solid and rust free. The undercoating looks like it did when it was installed 34 years ago. (photo #79) Remember, this vehicle was never driven in the salt during the winter months. (The  owner had the car in storage when he went to Florida for the winter months.) 
Nine times out of ten, people selling a car would not talk about or take any photos of the underside.  The undercarriage tells you a lot about the car, that is why we took a few pictures of the bottom. 

Mechanical:

Under the hood is a 3.8 Liter 2-BBL-V6 engine. (Standard equipment for 1980.) The owner's friends and neighbors are making sure the vehicle has been started and  driven around the block once in a while. The automatic transmission and rearend both seem fine. It shifts out great with no clunks, slips or jerks.  There is no known mechanical problems with the vehicle. The exhaust system, muffler and tailpipe, were replaced at one time. It looks in good condition with no holes  or leaks. Unsure when the brakes were serviced. We do know currently they are working fine. They do not pull, pulse, or make any noise. The suspension is quiet and  tight. The four original shocks may need replacing. (Weak, a little too much bounce.) 

Documents/Manuals:

Being that the original owner still owns this vehicle, the Original Window Sticker, Bill of Sale and other important documents will go along with the sale.  He has a  lot of the dealer service records/receipts. Along with all this paperwork, he also has the original Owners Manual and the GM service manuals from Chevrolet.
