Hector Gonzalez in Mexico City, Mexico sent these excellent pictures documenting his 1984 Mexican version Monte Carlo SS. The Mexican version of the Monte Carlo SS was only offered in 1984 and differs from the United States version in several ways:
- 350 Small Block Chevy Engine
- 4 Speed Hurst Manual Transmission
- Checkerboard style wheels
- No rear spoiler
- Different side graphics
- Interior this is Grand Prix style w/ SS embroydered in headrests
- Only Power Locks / Manual Window combination available
Please Note: Hector has modified his SS (as many of us in the United States have) over the years. These changes include:
- Rear bumper changed to 87-88 SS style
- Rear spoiler added
- Interior high center stop light added
- Side view mirrors changed to 86 SS style
- Stripes are not original.. but the "Monte Carlo SS" is original style
Hector indicates that the Mexican Monte Carlo SS was only offered in 1984, therefore, they are not very common there. It was named the fastest production car in Mexico at the time. Other car manufacturers were producing 4 and 6 cylinder cars, and a few 5.0 liter V8 models. Only trucks were available with equal or larger engines. As noted above, the Mexican SS came with a 350ci Engine, a 4 speed Hurst Manual Transmission, 4 barrel Rochester Quadrajet carburetor, performance suspension, bucket seats, manual windows and power locks.
