I chose a '85 SS for my daily driver because they weigh less and already come with an overdrive. I have another low miles '85 that I put a Tremec 5-speed stick in it. Love all Montes.....

the 3rd gen is among the few nice cars built in the 80's in my opinion... and adding a Tremec does not make it less desirable :-)

I have two '85 Monte SS's. I chose this generation because of the weight advantage and the fact they come with an overdrive. One I installed a Tremec 5-speed. Love all Montes.....

I was never a huge fan of the 76-77 style, but I've got to admit - that is one nice looking Monte!!!
