A real barn find, this 1980 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Sport Coupe is ready for you to comeand drive it home! This excellent example of a GM A-body (they were only designated the G-body later in life) is waiting for you in Ferndale, Washington. It’s advertised here on craigslist and is priced at only $3,700 obo — who says you can’t find a cheap classic!
One of 116,580 Sport Coupes produced in 1980, the car shows off it’s new for 1980 rallye wheels well. I remember from my days at Hub Cap Annie in college that the center caps for these frequently popped off, and you can see that two are missing from this car. Thankfully they are available inexpensively both used and new.
With only 79,000 believable miles showing on the odometer, this might be the original paint. I wonder what it would look like after a good polish? The car only has a V6 in it (the base engine) but honestly, I don’t think you would be trying to spin the tires anyway with this preserved a car, would you?
Ah, red velour seats! Nothing quite like them save my grandparents’ old couches! The seller tells us there aren’t even any cracks on the dashboard, which tells me this car has been kept under cover it’s entire life. I think some of these cracked on dealer’s lots!
You have to give GM interior stylists credit for making sure that no matter what fake wood grain you liked, they included it somewhere in the interior! From burl to straight grain and in multiple different shades! But that’s part of the charm of mid-70s to mid-80s vehicles: it’s fun to poke a little fun at them. I wouldn’t mind this coupe being in my garage – how about you?
