Hard to tell because I think that was more of an option than a preset feature, not sure...

Taken off a search I did (wikipedia or something):
The SS was a hit not only in the car-buying public, (starving for some power after the hefty emissions regulations of the late 1970s) but also in NASCAR competition, where it continued to be a winning body style after the 1984 season successes. Production picked up, and 112,730 sport coupes were sold as 1984 year model coupes. An additional 24,050 had the SS option (with an 180 hp (130 kW) 305 V8 that saw a 5 hp (3.7 kW) boost from the previous year), having an asking price of US$10,700. 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 (the Strato buckets also returned as an option on the regular Monte after a two-year absence). The regular Monte Carlo came standard with a 125 hp (93 kW) 229 CID V6 (231 CID V6 for California) and a 165 hp (123 kW) 305 V8 was optional. Available for the last year in a base Monte Carlo was the 350 CID diesel engine, and there were only 168 manufactured. All engines for 1984 got the three-speed automatic transmission with the exception of three SSs at the end of the 1984 production run that received the Turbo Hydramatic 200-R4 transmission with overdrive.
In 1984, there were a limited number of Monte Carlo SSs made in Mexico, for Mexico sale. The differences are many in the Mexican to US/Canadian SSs. There was no rear spoiler. The rims are 14" checker style, an option on the base Monte Carlos in the US. The side mirrors are different style and black. The interior is that of a Grand Prix, in blue. The engine is a 350, 265 hp (198 kW) (unconfirmed) and 350 lbf·ft (470 N·m) of torque (unconfirmed), and got a 4-speed manual with Hurst shifter.

No worries SkulledMonte84, I get what you mean. It is coolest (at least to me) because it is the only example that came with a 350 cu. and 4 speed transmission from the Factory. The cars (200 in total) were originally used by Chevrolet to qualify their new Monte Carlo Nascar entry hence the setup (I commonly call it a Nascar Monte Carlo when explaining it). Its on the lines of finding a RWD fusion or Camry with a 350ci V8 and a 4 speed manual, they just don't sell those to the public in the US. When people walk by it on the street and look inside and see the 4 speed hurst shifter, pontiac grand prix interior, and speedo in KPH they lose their minds (insert joker meme). I will post up pictures tonight and PM you when they are up :)

Sorry for the long hiatus everyone! But I have good news! I got the car into the US and am now looking for a Gbody enthusiast to take her home!

Check out this thread I started on the For Sale side of the site:

I love the car and I hope that someone else with GBody love will find it :D
