1980 turbo Monte Carlo

[PATINO88]

Hi guys new to the site not new to g body's since I have owned 5 of them I am about to acquire a near mint condition 1980 Monte Carlo with the 3.8 turbo.... I am excited but also wanted to hear opinions on the car and what an be done to it since it is going to be a daily driver.... It does run and has everything working in order with only 29,000 miles on it

thnks I plan on painting it black eventually...not to fond of the color right now lol

turbo anything is cool...none the less a g body is doper!

Keep it brown, go look at the ”brown sugar” builds. That color would be so sick. All black is severely over dove on 3rd gens and no matter the color, everyone associates the car with the Training Day movie.. Blah, that's why I sold mine.

Cool car and great find. Not many of those were made. Do you know the production numbers?

Awesome car man, brown or not. Lol. The 78-80 montes certainly do look good in black. Hope you choose gloss black, not some flat crap.

Car is awesome just the way it sits. Now all it needs are some plain-Jane hubcaps and some quiet exhaust. Make the ultimate sleeper out of it!!!

Very clean car! There is a ton of great stuff you can do to the motor. Wont be 'fast' but will definitely move out of its way. Ive got more done to mine than most. Heads, cam, custom downpipe, ported stuff, alky, ect. Just dont rip the turbo motor out. Be a shame to.

Good site for the before black cars- Info and stuff

Thanks for all the comments guys i havent been online for awhile so sorry for the delayed response. as for the color i am changing it to glossy black since im pretty much building my dream car n ive always wanted a black monte carlo...i havent done much to it yet except replace the stereo and get new brakes it is my daily driver so the 3.8 will stay in there for awhile with these crazy gas prices lol
