1985 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS Is Our Bring a Trailer Auction Pick of the Day

• They don't make them like this anymore, but I remember driving one of these back when they did, sometime in the mid-'90s.

• The one shown here shows only 1200 miles on the odometer and is up for online auction with Bring a Trailer.

• With the auction scheduled to end on Friday, August 12, bidding is just over $14,000.

Sometime around the mid-'90s, when I was rolling around in my 1985 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z, I stopped by a local car dealer to ogle the then-new Impala SS. I asked if I could take it for a test drive, and a sales guy who looked like a Sopranos extra glanced up from his folding chair near the front door and said, "If everybody drives it, nobody buys it." He threw me the keys to a Monte Carlo SS, though. One much like this one, our Bring a Trailer Pick of the Day.
