Seven Hills Motorcars is proud to offer this stunning 1985 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS in amazing condition with only 88,780 original miles. This Monte Carlo looks spectacular, runs great, and is an excellent driver. It is clean and totally solid with great lines. The Black (19) over Ruby Cloth (79) is a beautiful and highly desirable color combination that looks great on the car. It is also the correct and original color scheme as verified by the codes on the Service Parts Identification sticker pictured in this ad. This is an excellent opportunity to own a classic Monte Carlo with low miles that is ready to be used and enjoyed at an unbeatable value. One could easily buy this car now and sell it for more than the purchase price in years to come as the market on the 4th Generation Monte Carlos is strong right now and on the rise. The low original mileage is verified not only by the condition of the car, but also the clear Ohio title showing the mileage as “Actual.” Please peruse all of the photos, video, and information to get a true sense of how nice, clean, and correct this Monte Carlo Super Sport really is.

There is a copy of the AutoCheck vehicle history report in the photos. The report is clean, shows no accident history, and verifies the low original mileage. The original owner’s manual is included with the car. A factory GM new old stock stripe kit is also included with the sale and pictured in this ad.

As a side note, this Chevrolet Monte Carlo is not a dealer auction vehicle. We hand-pick each car after careful inspection. Our classics come from owners who expect their car to go to someone that will give the vehicle the same care and attention as they did. We invite and encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture. We photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the Monte Carlo, just give us a call.

Exterior

The Black (19) exterior is in great condition. As one can see in the photos the finish has a terrific gloss, nice shine, and smooth finish. The original N90 aluminum wheels are in good condition with a bright finish and no curb rash. The Goodyear Eagle GTII white letter tires do show some age, but have plenty of tread left and are correctly sized 215/65R15. There are no major imperfections that have been intentionally excluded from the photos. As one would expect from a paintjob with this many years on it there are some chips, some small touchups, and faint blemishes that were too tiny to show up in the pictures, but nothing that is really noticeable from about five or ten feet away. There is a NOS stripe kit included in the sale. This Monte Carlo has no rust issues. As one can see in the many photos of the underside of the car, it is very clean underneath. We have included specific photos of the rear spring mounts, rockers, lower quarter panels, and the area’s most prone to rust to show how nice this car looks.

Interior

The Ruby Cloth (79) interior in this Monte Carlo Super Sport is in excellent condition. The gauge faces are crisp and clean and the lenses are crystal clear. The door panels are in terrific shape and the door pulls are solid and intact. The dash and console are in great shape with no cracks, fading, or sun damage. The seats look just as nice in person as they do in the photos with no split seams or excessive wear. The seat is not overly worn in the typical spot on the bolster where the driver gets in and out. Please note that these appear to be the original seats and skins, not some cheap covers or aftermarket replacements. The driver seat has a small tear on seat bottom, which is visible in the photos. The carpet is also in great condition with no holes, tears, or stains. The radio gets good reception and sounds great. The original radio is also included with the car. Please note that both seat belts work and retract properly, this is a common problem and one item many buyers do not think to check. This Monte Carlo has never been smoked in; there are no burn marks and no aroma of cigarettes.

The trunk is very clean, highly detailed, and complete with the original spare that has never been used, jack, jack base, jack handle, and original decals still on the trunk lid.

Monte Carlo interiors from this era are not known to wear well, and the excellent condition of this all original interior is a huge testament to the meticulous care and attention this car has received throughout its life and another great verification of the very low original mileage.

Mechanical

This Monte Carlo SS seems to be in very good mechanical condition. The engine starts right away every time, runs well, and idles smoothly. It drives great and feels nice on the road and at highway speeds, just what you would expect from a very well cared for monte. In the video in this ad one can observe the car accelerating on the highway up to about 70mph, shifting through all the gears, braking to stoplight, and going through some curves. Please note that there are no vibrations or strange noises and the car performs quite well overall. The brakes do not pull to one side or the other. The transmission shifts smoothly throughout the power band. There is no blue smoke when starting or driving the car. The car runs cool and does not overheat. Also, the engine compartment is beautifully clean, detailed, and correct as one can see in the photos.

The horn works as do all the exterior lights, interior lights, wipers, dash lights, indicators, power windows, power locks, rear window defogger, and cigarette lighter. Even detailed items like the trunk light, hood light, and glove box light still work. All of the gauges work and even the clock runs. The blower for the heater and a/c works on all speeds. The a/c also works and ice cold. One can observe the a/c compressor clicking on and engaging properly in the video. There are no “check engine” or other warning lights that stay on. Not enough can be said as to how much of a pleasure it is to drive this car.

Also, for any Monte Carlo from this era you may look at, be sure to verify that the “service engine soon” light and “choke” light are working correctly. The lights should go on when the key is turned on as a confirmation that the lights are working, then quickly go off when the car is started. A great number of these Monte Carlo’s have had the bulb removed to mask other problems. As one can observe in the video the ” service engine soon” light and “choke” lights on this car operate just as they should, going on with the car as a check and then going off when the engine is started.

Overall Condition

Overall, this 1985 Monte Carlo SS is in magnificent original condition. The low miles, the beautiful original color combination, the originality, and the excellent overall condition make this car especially important and hard to duplicate. It is very hard to find a Monte Carlo from this era that is still in great original condition with low mileage as most were used and abused. This Monte Carlo always gets a ton of attention driving down the road. It is apparent that the vehicle has been well taken care of by its previous owners. The prices of 4th generation Monte Carlos increased considerably over the past several years. They are secure and wise investments for a collector. Cars like this are the Barrett Jackson stars of the future. One could easily enjoy this vehicle for several years and sell it for more than the purchase price with minimal effort.

Other sellers are not taking the time to show the car is in such great detail to give you all of the numbers, option codes, photos, and video. This information is very valuable and important for pricing. Any perspective buyer, for any of our vehicles or from other sellers, should ask for all the information before he or she makes a purchase.

Thank you for looking and please do not hesitate to email or call with any questions.
