You can try the site in the link below. Simply type in your VIN, and it'll give you a complete break down of what it came off the assembly line with.

All good advice.



how to tell a real 1986 LS monte carlo

Talk with MCF member RJ.






"Hey RJ. I heard you own an '86 LS Monte."
me. "Yes I do."
"Is it a REAL.... LS Model?"
me. "Well I guess it's real? Every time I go out and touch it, it feels real."
me. "It sure feels real when it needs new parts. I do know that."

Probably not.

Not saying you probably couldn't get one installed. Look at my car. It came from the factory with bucket seats and center console. A lot of the SSs didn't get them.

I do know you could special order even an SC with the gauge package. According to the sales brochure you could. So the SC, LS, or SS could have gotten the gauge package. Although I'm sure it was standard equiptment on the SS.

Yeah my 87 LS has a spoiler on it with bucket seats but i think they were put in after factory. I installed the console. What does SC stand for, never heard of that?
