Description

This long-beloved sedan from the Bow-Tie boys was named after the famed city of high rollers and higher stakes. In its Super Sport dress, this Monte is a late-eighties muscle car that awaits the pleasures of the strip and begs to be flown from the highest launch points you can find. The Monte Carlo was Chevy’s standard-bearer in the realms of NASCAR until it was replaced by the Lumina, so it is no stranger to the track either. 1988 represents the last of the G-bodied Monte’s, and thus the end of an era.
