RE: how rare
honestly i havent seen to many of the montes with T tops, but i know they are out there. but you tend to find the regals and cuttlasses with them more offten then the monte.
My white buffalo is the 78 with T-Tops and floor shifter in it that is in stock prestine cond. or could be restored to it. but i have yet to find oen even worth looking in to . most are gutted or have been beat so bad they are not worth trying to save with the budget i had at the time.
but i would do my best to make it as nice as ya can

LSs (Luxury Sports) for the 4th gen were 1986-1988;
SCs (Sport Coupes) for the 4th gen were 1981-1986.
The SCs have the boxy nose; the LSs have the "euro" look to 'em....

[/align][align=center][/align][align=center]Hi Brandon, Is it possible that your T-Top's were an[/align][align=center]aftermarket installation ?[/align][align=center]Either way, you have a rare 1984 Monte Carlo.[/align][align=center]Please post some pictures : ) Look forward to your[/align][align=center]future posts. Good Luck with your 84 Monte Carlo : )[/align][align=center]~Peace `Space ~[/align][align=center][:-]Below information found on the Web & Posted on the MCF[/align][align=center]on the Monte Carlo Review/Test Post [:-][/align][align=center]https://montecarloforum.com/m_34860/tm.htm[/align][align=center][/align][align=center]Defined as the complete new generation of the Chevrolet Monte Carlos, the fourth generation which ran from 1981 until 1988 was in a class all of its own. Featuring a smoother profile in comparison to previous years, the Fourth Generation 1981 Monte Carlo showcased new vertical taillights that's were similar to '70 to '77 models. The Monte body was restyled and updated to follow suit with other GM mid-size formal coupes. The engines were carried over from the year before, and these included the standard 229 inĀ³ Chevrolet V6 an optional 267 inĀ³ V8, a turbocharged 170 hp 231 inĀ³ Buick V6 in the Monte Carlo Turbo and a 305 inĀ³ V8 in the base and Landau models. Standard equipment on the '81 model was an automatic transmission, power front disc brakes and power steering. [/align]
[align=center]The 1982 Monte Carlo only received slight revisions. The Monte Carlo turbo model and the turbocharged 231 inĀ³ V6 were discontinued, while all of the other engines carried over from the previous year. A 262 inĀ³ V6 and an Oldsmobile 350 inĀ³ V8, both diesel engines were offered brand new for this year. Mid size vehicles were now designated A-body cars, due to the introduction of GM's new mid-size platform and caused chassis designations to be shuffled up. Vehicles that were formerly A-bodies were now classified as G-bodies. For 1982, a black exterior was not available. [/align]
[align=center]Receiving only minor updates, the '83 Monte Carlo gained a revised grille and interior trim patters. The standard engine continued to be the 229 inĀ³ V6, and the 165 hp 305 inĀ³ V8 was optional. The Super Sport Package, Z65 was once again made an option in 1983 [/align][align=center]The Monte Carlo SS was reintroduced in 1983, following twelve years of being discontinued. One of the last carbureted, rear-wheel drive āmuscle cars', the Monte Carlo SS featured European body color-coding, a new front fascia, a rear spoiler and a V8. [/align]
[align=center]In 1984 the regular Monte Carlo was available standard with a 125 hp 229 inĀ³ V6 and the option of 165 hp 305 V8. The final year for the 350 inĀ³ diesel engine in a base Monte Carlo, only a total of 168 units were produced for '84. For this year, all engines received the three-speed automatic transmission, except for the three SS's, which received the 200-4R transmission with overdrive. [/align]
[align=center]Following the restrictive emissions regulations of the late 1970s, the car-buying public was itching for a power-driven vehicle. The SS was a major hit in 1984, and a total of 112,730 sport coupes were sold, along with an additional 24,050 with the SS option. The SS featured floor console and Strato bucket seats as extra-cost options for the first time rather than the standard split bench seat with armrest. [/align]
