It's time to sell my SS. I've had it for 19 years so it's time to let it go. :)
I'm going to put it up on the Denver Craigslist this weekend so if you or anyone you know on the Front range is looking for a nice one let me know.
Here's how the ad will appear:
1985 Monte Carlo SS. $6800
White with Maroon interior. Bucket seats, Console, A/C, Tilt Wheel and Tinted Glass.
305 V8 (L69) with 200-4R (CZF) transmission. 7.625 10 bolt non-posi. 155K miles.
This is not a beater. Good, solid and dependable. Everything is there plus some extras.
I’ve had the car since May, 1991 so I know it pretty well inside and out. I’ve kept up all the maintenance since I’ve had it; if something needed replaced, repaired or serviced I took care of it. I drive it at least once every week or 2. I took it to Chama, NM (900 miles) in June, 2007 after the motor was done. It was my daily driver till September, 2007. No snow; rain a couple of times since the recent paint work (12/08). I have a copy of the original Dealer’s Invoice, Owner’s and Shop manuals, and the GM Restoration Package.
