The Monte SS's was the most popular car people wanted to trade in for one of our Turbo Regals back in the day. Also in some of the records I would get with the cars Montes got traded in back when they were only 2-3 years old for a Buick.
At least you did not have a burgundy one....must be 10 of them for every other color.
The emission stuff under the hood was a nitemare...and I believe they suffered from intake leaks.
All my dealings I only ended up taking one on a trade. Reason I stayed away from them is they were too common and I knew it would be hard for me to sell resell them. I also turned down several of the areo coupes.....think we are 25 years away before they even begin to be worth any decent money it at all.
