Welcome and thank you for choosing to spend some time reviewing our Basil Classic Cars site. Joe Basil and the Basil family have been tirelessly striving to bring you excellence in automotive sales and service since 1971. Our efforts to do so have recently expanded into the classic car market and we now have an extensive inventory of classic and antique cars available for you to consider. We have constructed a new building on Transit Rd. In the Lancaster - Depew area which has a massive indoor climate-controlled showroom. Much of our inventory of cars from the past is currently on display in our new building dedicated exclusively to classic and antique cars.
When introduced in 1970, the Chevrolet Monte Carlo was marketed as a stand alone luxury vehicle that anyone could afford. The Monte Carlo was available with a wide array of luxury options and introduced only as a two door coupe model, making it a successful assembly of visual elegance to be sure. Its expansive hood and front end design produced an unmistakable elegance which placed it in a class of its own. Proof of demand for such a vehicle was quickly provided with nearly 146,000 units being sold in the first year of production.
Size and engine displacements were altered over the years due to restrictive government imposed regulations. However, the Monte Carlos appeal to the buying public continued to escalate production sales well into the six digit range for many years.
The 1985 Monte Carlo was no exception, 119,057 models were produced for that year. The Monte Carlo we have here however is one of only 35,484 SS versions to roll off the line in 1985 and its condition is exceptional. The burgundy metallic paint complimented by the SS badging and horizontal sport striping hold your attention immediately. Further review discloses the color-coded front and rear bumper covers, trunk mounted spoiler and sport mirrors which help to neatly complete the design appeal. The smoked glass T-tops and five spoke factory mags wrapped in black radial tires also help the overall appearance of this classic.
The high output 305 cubic inch engine fitted with dual exhaust sends power through a four speed automatic transmission. The Monte Carlo also has a full coil spring suspension allowing it to provide both smooth performance and riding comfort to its passengers. The engine compartment is remarkably clean as is the trunk area which has factory matting and an original space saver tire in place.
Sliding into the driver's seat, you observe the nearly new condition of the matching cloth and vinyl upholstery. The smartly designed bucket seats are separated by a center console which houses the floor mounted automatic shift and a second compartment beneath the padded arm rest. Equipment includes power steering, power disc brakes, power windows and locks, climate control air conditioning and an AM/FM in dash cassette stereo system. This SS model treats the operator to full gauge instrumentation which places the speedometer, the tachometer, temperature gauge, oil and amperage gauge directly in the driver's line of sight. Showing just under 29,000 miles, this gorgeous SS will be a pleasure to own and drive. Many complements from onlookers are sure to occur.
