          Thank you....      You have had Beaumonts and big Pontiacs   

          and you are right....  Todd allows "all" car crazy guys here

Yes!!  I would have never known about or found my 1 of 66 SD's without your help  

I think we should keep you too  lol

Of course everyone who has a passion for cars is welcome here. That's an awesome survivor Carl. I'd be keeping it if I were you.

Wish I still had mine, i am going to drive up to Clinton just to get that "Loving Feeeling" back again.......Great Pick up Carl.

This is mine in 1986, factory ordered in August 1985, 40th car  down the line in Arlington TX for 1986. Loved it, still do. 

You  can't leave, who  would pass on big block canadian pontiac  stories to  the younger guys. Also great looking SS, I ordered one new in 84 ,was a great car and sold it three years ago.

          I did find out, that they stopped production in Dec 87   

          My GM Historical says   Dec 87 production in Pontiac     

         According to "my story" my 88 Monte was the last rwd car produced 

Thank you for all the Positive Monte Carlo SS  comments

  gives me a boost   lol         

Great find! I noticed the Cullen Chevrolet dealer tag - are you in the Niagara area?  My first car was a 1985 Monte Carlo SS that I still have today (I added a functional shaker hood and 350/WCT5 5-speed in it):

...also had this blue '84 SS as a daily driver for a few years:



...had an '87 parts car too:


...but it ended up like this LOL:


Wish mine was as clean as yours! Check out www.montecarloss.com - it's a great/friendly site focused on the 4th gen SS.


68sd - all 1988 models were actually built in 1987, just titled differently. Last SS to roll off the line was some time in December '87.  Here's production figures by year:

http://www.montecarloss.com/SS_FAQ_2.html#1

73SC - 1983 was the first year. G80 wasn't available and all had two-tone blue/white bench seat interiors with "SS" embroidered headrests and a diamond pattern material. Only exterior colours available were white and blue. G80 was offered in '84, though not many have it (only about a 1/3 of all 4th gen SS's do). Buckets/console were now an option, but came in solid blue only. Some '84s got the same two tone interior left over from '83. They dropped the blue in '85 - added black, burgundy and silver and changed the striping - interior options were now grey or burgundy with a different striped pattern in the material. Interior trim was a one year only offering. In '86 they upgraded to the aluminum wheels and the interior material/trim changed to velour/gloss black respectively and the upper door panels/inserts were now velour rather than vinyl. Cubby style ashtray (breadbox) at the front of the console was also replaced with a flat tray. Colour offerings and striping were the same as '85. '86 was also the first year for the aerocoupe, of which only 200 were made. '87/88 are virtually identical (with the exception of wiper motor wiring belive it or not) and the striping changed again. Gold stripes and saddle (tan) were offered. The spoiler changed mid year '87 to a laydown style, the only exception being this style was also used on ALL '86/87 aerocoupes.

Lots of other minor details, but that basically covers it - I've owned my car for over 14 years and pretty well know them inside and out! :D

Very nice!!    I also had a white 85 in 86  and of course love your ride... If its as nice as the GTO (Wow) 

I am impressed with all the Montes you guys have had

 

My car says "Ray Cullen" on the trunk.. 

The GM Historical print out shows "Elliott Bros" in Woodstock as selling dealer...

I asked seller, about the cars History, and he said the original owner, had a 86 SS that was written off..  He had 'trouble" finding a white replacement.. 

The MTO "print out" shows car going from Elliott Bros.(Woodstock On) to Bennett Auto Sales (London) to Hyndai South (London)  all on July 20-28th and original owner July 29th! 

I can only presume car was a dealer trade from Ray Cullen to  Elliott bros.???

only 783 in Canada!!

 or Elliott Brothers was the same license as Ray Cullen

1986 we had Brian Cullen in St. Catharines

Elliot Brothers was not in any way related to Ray Cullen Chev Olds. Bennett Holdings may have had a relationship with Cullens and perhaps used them as the delivering dealer. Both were/are based in London.
