Default Damn Wish I still had this

Going thru some old pics I posted in another thread about National Monte Carlo meet I came across these pics. My brand new at the time 1985 Monte SS. Ordered the car and after a 6 month wait it was mine. $12,238 was the price. Still wish i had that car. Only 180 HP but I loved the sound of that V-8.

Wife got pregnant and quit work. Couldnt afford the payment at the time. I wish I had kept the car and got rid of the wife. Well at a later time I got rid of the wife too.

You always hear stories about the car that someone sold - regretting selling it and finding it years later. You could try and hunt it down. Do you still have the VIN?
