my name is tommy, and i have finally got a hold of my first g body, a 1986 monte carlo ss. my dad had 2 82 regals, with ttops, both had the same 400 small block chevy swapped in before he totaled both of em. ever since he had those cars, i have wanted a g body, and i got one. here she is, i got her for 1400$

99% stock, just has a cd player, headlight covers, and a shift kit. i love this car, leaving the guy's house after i bought it, thing chirped the tires in 2nd gear : ) so far i have just cleaned it up, and i repainted the grille and front spoiler gloss black.

before

in between

done

after a few days, i took my american racings and bf goodrichs off of my 86 camaro, here is a pic with them on there

think i have posted enough pics yet? lol

my plans for this car:

switch the interior entirely to black
2 black ss stripes down hood, roof, trunk, and spoiler
airbrush on the side "MONTE CARLO SS"
i have hooker longtubes to install
i have a true dual exhaust crossmember
and i will put on dual 2 1/4 exhaust with flowmasters
fix the bad body work

you made out like a bandit for 1400 bucks!! looks pretty decent. i personally would not do black interior but thats me, everyone does black and its boreing to me. i would get some reproduction factory seat covers and stick with the original color. good luck with your build up!!

i am getting leather racing seats from a friend of mine, and i will have the backseat recovered. i honestly HATE the oxblood guts, and i have always liked black guts with silver outside. i definately stole that thing for 1400...


i forgot to mention there was a receipt in the glove box from a body shop, feb 22 2006, had a 925$ worth of body work and paint done to it, and i got the car whole thing for only 1400

Great find for the price.
I would put the SS wheels back on though. But thats just me.

i like the ss wheels too, i think i am gonna paint em black and they'd look sharp, with the aluminum still exposed like stock on the edges

Yeah you definately got a steal there, nice find!

Any future plans?
