not a monte ss, but still a g-body. .i've been partial to olds but im going to go give this one a look..it's actually a buddy of mine and ive seen it in person before but never got to in depth to look at it. only reason he is selling it is to buy a bike he found. plus he's more into his 2001 camaro ss.

but for $2500 i think it might be worth a look

Definetly worth a look! Let us know how it goes..

Well worth that a solid car original for the most part with allot of love needed is $3000 plus average on ebay for a high miles solid car is $6000 plus .

I was going to buy a new SS in 86 but I got the 442 as its interior slammed the SS . And still see lots SS but few 442 . Hope it works out for you .

well i looked at it.. doesnt look bad for the original 20+ yr old paint. some places by the wheel wells have some paint bubbling. the rear frame rail is starting to show some rust. .interior will need a little touch up. . the motor seems to be stout

the tentative plan will be buy the 442 and drive it for the summer while i put my 86 Monte SS together. once that's finished i'll pull the 442 off the road and begin restoring that. i have another frame from a previous monte thats solid, i might drop the 442 body onto that.

if i end up getting it ill post some pics

Too bad the engine isn't original, it's not a true 442 anymore. Plus with the transmission problem I'd leave it sit.

i would buy that if its a solid car....you can slap a th350 ez and ride, while doing a rebuild on the one thats down. or buy it, fix the transmission, clean it, advertise better and sale it.
