Wow, thanks for the info on the tires Rusty! The plain Eagle GT Style were used for sure on the 85-87 Monte SS's (maybe even earlier). I think the GT+4's were 88 only? I had an 86 Monte SS with its original Eagle GT's and babied them to try and preserve them. I was just looking at the car this morning thinking I should remove these originals but I HATED to think theat the car would have to sit on BF Goodrich Radial TA's or something. I am glad to know that they are repoping the Eagle GT's. Just out of curiosity, what do they run per set?

Rusty, maybe they already know, but you should go over here and let them know.

Good for you Frankie! Looks like a Great Car. Hope you and that boy of yours enjoy it. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img]




(Now get back out there and clean all that white stuff off the tread. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img] )

Nice!

Strange as this may sound, I think G-bodies are one of my favorite cars to drive. I had a relatively low mile '85 Regal at one time, and I think it was the best daily driver I've ever owned. Something about those cars just &quot;fits&quot; me. Very comfortable, resonable handling, decent ride. The only problem is that tight, like-new examples are getting hard to find these days.

Congrats on finding such a clean original!.
Don't forget the paperwork for this car is available from George Z. @ GM Vintage Services here in Canada..

If you're talking to him, pass on a hey to George and remind him it's been too long since he's dropped by this site!.

Congrats and great color combo. I had an 88 Monte Carlo SS years ago as well. white over maroon interior, no ttops and I loved it. I wouldnt mind getting another one as well. But I would probably do a few modifications such as a lower stance and some suspension upgrades if I do get one again at some point.
Good luck with yours!

Frankie.....

Thanks for the well wishes guys!

Yes, nice &quot;tight&quot; examples of these cars are getting VERY hard to find. I only found a couple nice ones in a two month search. Since these cars are still relatively &quot;new&quot; they got beat to the ground and rusted away. Kids usually buy the beaters and drive the hell out of them or nicer examples are heavily modified. Finding one as original and untouched as the one I have is pretty rare. This is my second nice original. I have always loved these cars since I was a kid.

Since I already have one.....John sent me a link to yet another nice Monte SS! The price is definitely good but no t-tops.

Pete, GM of Canada has paperwork on an 88 Monte Carlo SS sold new in North Carolina?? Were these cars made in Canada? What paperwork does GM of Canada have? I have ALL the paperwork on this car except the original window sticker which is surprising because the original owner kept everything else.

I had an 88 Monte SS New. I expected Eagle GT+4's but it came through with regular Eagle GT's.

It was built torwards the end of production too. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]
