That is all I ever have found as well, everyone wants the SS and that is what they have made.
I had an 85 Monte similar to yours it was a Brown one served me well, I sold it to one of the fellows who was doing my New Roof back in 94, he needed a car for his daughter to drive to school.

 

Brown? hmm that is different. Do you have pics of the 85?

 

Heres contribution:

I purchased both on Ebay.


Its the Model GM used to show dealers (made by Brookfield Collections)
before they came out!



This was the only 1999 Monte Carlo Model I could find to build myself. (circle track)

 

Here's a pic of mine...

 

It is not a real good photo of the 85 Monte bought it in 86 it had only 750 miles on it and I ran it up to 195K and then replaced the engine. not bad for that era of car.

 

looks Good, you probably see this too. But when I go to a Car show it is amazing how many people have a Model of some sort displayed with the Car.

 

That is so exactly like the full size one. I have seen some photography that someone took that had the Model up close and the full size one a distance away and they both looked realistic. fun stuff.

Back in the day, the Superman Comic books had a story about a RAY gun that was used to enlarge and shrink cities and people. too bad they never invented that yet we could use it to enlarge these models, seems like a good idea.

 

Very cool!

 

Wow I have never seen one that color. Yes that is very good mileage for that car.

 

That Metallic Pink Oldsmobile in the Drive way was the better car, I ran it up to 389K and it would consistently get 35 mpg, with me driving it 85 or better. But after 85 it wouldn't go much faster.
I hated to get rid of it but the computer went bad, and the shop said not to replace it. I wish now that I would have I might still own it.
