'82 Monte Carlo (Redwood exterior, Caramel interior), t-tops, awesome ride, when I got it from dad, it was 8 yrs old and had less than 30K miles on it....but it only had a 2.8L V6...I kind of hated the car at the time...it was a dog...my best friend had a '78 Grand Prix with a big V8 in it, another buddy had a Vega with a Chevy 350 under the hood...heck even my girlfriend had an '80 Malibu with a 350....my car was the best looking, but it was S-L-O-W.....
After going to college and leaving it at home for 6 mos., I really missed that car and decided that I was going to buy it from my dad. Unfortunately, I didn't tell him of my plans and he traded it on a '91 Ranger (2wd, 4 cylinder, 5 speed...no redeeming qualities at all). I chased that car all around town dealer to dealer to private owner to a dealer (even to another city at one point), but by the time I caught up with it, the 2nd private owner since we had it was some punk 16 yr old kid and he had jacked the backend up, put some big tires under it, had half the car in primer gray, just totally effed it up.
I gave up on it, knowing it would never be the same.....
