80s Legends – Best US Cars From The Hairspray Decade

Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS

The mid-80s Monte Carlo was one of the most fabulous two-door coupes of the period, although the performance wasn’t exhilarating. Under the hood was a 305 V8 with 180 HP mated to a pretty slow automatic transmission. What the SS lacked in performance contributed to the looks and reputation. In a 5-year production run, Chevrolet built over 180,000 of those sleek coupes.
