Default 1986 Monte CL original survivor. What is My car worth?

I'm going to post some pics, but it might be time to sell her.

All original 1986 Monte with the V8 in Yellow Cream (original paint). true 102k in 30 years, everything works, call it a daily driver, always garaged, never hit solid/straight, even have the service records lol.

That said this is not a show car but a survivor where you may not find one in better shape.

maybe post the build sheet too? I'll get back with pics...but what's my ballpark for an asking price???

Welcome to the Forum! I would start around 4k(no less than 3500), a lot of guys are looking for clean G bodies to customize and beef up.

Thanks, I've got to find my old photobucket account or some place to host pics, but i took a quick video walkaround yesterday.

looks good from 10 feet, but in real life you can tell it's original paint and shows as a real driver. Car was bought new by my mom, I am confident enough in the car that i was going to let my 16 y/o daughter drive it, but she says the only older car she would consider would be a jeep.

ok pics are pretty good resolution so you can see all the normal imperfections. Also posted the codes from trunk.









thoughts?

Welcome, always nice to see original, unmolested cars in good condition! I'm not as familiar with the CL trim as I am with the SS.

My understanding is the CL is basically an LS with an interior package. The car seams to have a lot of options, PWD PDL tilt RDF lighting etc. cassette Not sure but does everyone else have chrome his and hers ashtrays for the rear passengers (mounted on the front seat backs) ?? They really put the CLassic in CL . I think CL actually stands for the 'Custom Luxury' edition. It's got extra sound deadening it somewhere too..

Nice car! Reminds me of my 82 malibu. If it's time to let go, it's time. Do you have a replacement or one in mind?

You're right it took a bit of googling

haha that's right, amazing how many car guys get stumped tho. should have shown any other shot than head on which is where it's most recognizable or at least kept the door closed lol.

It's a street legal 'go cart' that was always quick but not fast. never gets any respect, but i always had fun with it, and it could out handle anything back in the day...

really just needs a good cleaning and to be DRIVEN.

I see your a W body guy....unfortunately i got rid of my Black LT1 Roadmaster a couple years ago. I really liked that car. I've had a bunch of Regal GS's, and a bunch of Riviera's as well..
