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.

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)

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.

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.
