It's time to sell my SS. I've had it for 19 years so it's time to let it go. 
Hard to believe I've been on here since April, 2003.
I'm going to put it up on the Denver Craigslist this weekend so if you or anyone you know on the Front range is looking for a nice one let me know.
Here's how the ad will appear:
1985 Monte Carlo SS. $6800
White with Maroon interior. Bucket seats, Console, A/C, Tilt Wheel and Tinted Glass.
305 V8 (L69) with 200-4R (CZF) transmission. 7.625 10 bolt non-posi. 155K miles.
This is not a beater. Good, solid and dependable. Everything is there plus some extras.
I’ve had the car since May, 1991 so I know it pretty well inside and out. I’ve kept up all the maintenance since I’ve had it; if something needed replaced, repaired or serviced I took care of it. I drive it at least once every week or 2. I took it to Chama, NM (900 miles) in June, 2007 after the motor was done. It was my daily driver till September, 2007. No snow; rain a couple of times since the recent paint work (12/08). I have a copy of the original Dealer’s Invoice, Owner’s and Shop manuals, and the GM Restoration Package.
