I've always liked these cars. I still remember my Uncle and I running around working on building my Aunt a clone even before the SS officially came off the assembly line. He had caught wind of the new model and had a wrecked 84 regular Monte.(Think that was the year) Anyway, he was able to put it together not long after the SS came out and surprise her. I almost bought it as my first car when I turned 14. I just decided it didn't have enought HP and ended up with a 1981 Monte with a 68 327.

Thanks, bud. I agree. These cars deserve more power stock. They do have great body lines and do make great drivers. I love them.

Some new pics while enjoying the unseasonably warm weather. Our local club has a cruise-in the first day of the year every year. Had to take it out.

Nice shots! I like the tail pipes barely peeking out, I've been considering that but had not seen the 'correct' angle.
Those look great. Less is more!

Thanks, Dave. I agree, less is more with tailpipes. I normally completely hide the tailpipes or just use turndowns, but I wanted to keep this car quite. Also wanted it to be a little different. The stock tailpipes just stand out to much if you lower these cars or go away from the completely stock look in my opinion. Im like you............. I was looking for the "correct" angle too. The guy that does my exhaust work did a great job and somehow got the angles on both sides perfect.

I put a new video of the car on Youtube and I thought I would share. Nothing special, but I love the old car.

I just really love the lines on these cars. I think I may buy one this summer and see what I can make out of it. Yours is a stellar example!

I'm surprised your camera can manage the close-up without freaking out like my digital camera does on the wheels.
SSuper clean ride! :

Thanks, Dave! Yeah, the old Sony still works great. Also the iMovie app on the iMac makes a world of difference in editing.

we bought a 2000 camaro SS long ago.
had a grandbaby recently.

I called SLP and ordered a "birth certificate" with the SS # and her name on it...will be a neat high school graduation present!

I love the clean MCSS lines. helped a neighbor sell a really beat up one, while back. killed me not to buy it.

Your car brings back some good memories. I bought an 87 SS when I graduated High School. Loved that car. The stance of your's is sweet.
