What year is this Monte carlo?
Good morning!
I've been trying to do some research in order to start a project with my family's Monte Carlo. I was always told that our car was an '86 but by comparing pictures I almost want to say its an '82. I was hoping the more experienced eye could assure me what year the car really is.
Thank You!

Looks like a 1986 Monte you could check vin #
Here's a link about montes Chevrolet Monte Carlo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For 1986, there were four distinct body styles available. The base model Sport Coupe was still available with the same general body panels that it had since 1981, but featured new "aero" side mirrors similar to those on Camaros and Chevrolet Corvette of the 1980s . New for the 1986 model year was a Luxury Sport model that had a revised front fascia, new "aero" side mirrors, and an updated sleek-looking rear fascia. The LS front fascia included "Euro" headlamps with removable bulbs in a glass composite headlamp housing, versus the smaller sealed beam glass headlights of previous years. The rear bumper of the LS no longer had a "notch" between the bumper and trunk, and the taillights wrapped around so that they were visible from the sides of the car. The Super Sport model for 1986 incorporated the "aero" mirrors, yet still utilized the prior year's styling for the rear bumper.

Looks to me like a 1985... I had a 1985 CL MonteCarlo that looked like that photo. It definitely had the same front end/Bumper and Facia.
As well as the Rocker panel Trim on front and rear lower quarter panels. But I believe the 85 and 86 body style didn't really change very much...
With the exception of the SS models.!
