The Spanish conversation doesn't provide any info beyond it was his dad since new and had the rear end changed so they switched it back to the original configuration.

Jack,
Is this the car you are referring to?
Mexican Monte Carlo SS - VIN number decoding
Greetings everyone! I am just joining the Gbody family with my 84' Monte Carlo SS (see pictures below). I have been trying to figure out how to decode the vin number 1Z37-LES-111812 and the engine code is ES-111812. I know my car came with the 350ci, 4 barrel qjet carb that is inside of it but I...

Awesome car!
I didn't zoom in on the tire size but am fairly certain the checkers were only 14" including the Mexican SS...would be odd to one off those for 1" bigger size on such a limited run of vehicles but maybe that was something missed all along.
Thanks for the interpretation, I figured out it was his dad but cool that he is the original owner. I'm not a big soccer guy but had to look up the son, guess he's a "famous" soccer ref...and his dad is a doctor?
I remember the one exported to the US, want to say there might be another one but if I had a collection started a Mexican SS in as close to stock form as I could find would be up there with some other Monte's/g-bodies. I realize it would possibly not be road legal in the US.

foreign born autos, 25 years and older are legal in the u.s.
Plugged in the cost in MEX Pesos 2.5 mil pesos. In US Dollars $123,648.54 Used a few other calculators as that is an outrageous price in our terms. Adjusted for inflation (Mexico) 2021 that would be 929,268,986 pesos. .049 pennies + 1 peso!
They are very rare. If I remember correctly they are model year 1984 only. Don't know of a build number but that would be cool to know as well.
Man, I really wish I took Spanish in High School instead of French so I could understand those conversations.
Cool video, thanks for sharing. Quite a random find but nice to see the work done.
Youtube will auto translate the subtitles.
No wonder 1,200 people/day are dying from Covid in Mexico. Even the guy sanding the bondo on the car isn't wearing a mask.
Have you seen the safety sandals from the middle east? Worked there for 5 yrs you wouldn't believe the things I saw.
