Real Ridez traveled to Outer Banks, NC, to interview Michael Tillett, owner of a SEMA worthy 1985 Chevy Monte Carlo. And when we say “SEMA worthy”, we mean it-the car has actually been on display at SEMA in 2013.
Mike originally purchased the Monte Carlo with 47k miles, intending to use it as a daily driver. As the years went on, so did the miles. Things broke. That’s when Mike decided if he was going to put money into fixing the car, he was going to do it right.
As a little boy, he always wanted a car that was in a magazine. With a limited budget, Mike knew it would take years to complete his show car build. To top it off, this isn’t an ordinary restoration. Mike built the Monte Carlo the way he felt the factory should have always built it, with a V6 power plant out of a Grand National, a Hurst Lightning Rod shifter, and other design choices, Mike combined the best of GM’s G-Bodies.
After 10 years, he debuted his masterpiece to the world at SEMA in Las Vegas, Nevada. This was a dream come true; not everyone gets a spot at the world’s largest aftermarket automotive show. It requires a lot of work and investments. That’s where something special happened. Friends and family, along with local businesses throughout the Outer Banks, came together to complete the build and sent Mike to debut it at SEMA in 2013. After ten years, Mike’s dream came true.
Today, the award-winning Monte Carlo has graced multiple magazines, television shows, and, of course, SEMA.
Realizing his dreams would have not been possible without the help of the community, he works with close friends on several local fundraisers, youth programs, and travels across the country, enlisting his beautiful g-body in shows while being an ambassador for the Outer Banks.
Every year, Mike and his friends host the OBX Rod and Customs Festival
“It’s not my car, it’s an Outer Banks car,” said Mike.

So proud to call this amazing man my uncle ❤️ Thank you for sharing this story and providing an avenue for him to tell people the history behind this car. Most people just see the finished product but don’t understand the dedication and hard work that goes behind it. He has dedicated many years of his life to this and the support from the community, friends and family to get to this point is truly, truly remarkable. Amazing story, amazing man, amazing car. This is all the indication to always follow your dreams!!

Growing up, one of my grandmothers had a Monte Carlo, and the other had a Buick Regal. When I was in high school, one of the adult counselors in my church youth group had a Monte Carlo SS, one buddy's mom had a Cutlass 442, and another buddy's dad had a Grand National. After school, I dated a girl with a Pontiac Grand Prix. I still LOVE those old G bodies!

I can't add anymore to all the comments about this awesome Monte Carlo. Just a phenomenal job. On a side note, a lot gets said about what GM "should" have done with these cars power plant wise. People don't understand the politics involved when it comes to building something at GM that could challenge the Corvette in terms of speed. Its basically what killed the Grand National.

I've long said Chevrolet should have single turbo charged and intercooled the 86 and 87 Monte SS with that 305. The 305 would have been a great candidate for SFI injection and a modest turbo. The Monte SS would have been a bigtime contender because all the aftermarket upgrades were already their to support bigtime power.

Its very close to the dream i had for the 85 MCSS I bought when i was 13 that was an abandoned project and needed a full restoration. I bought a 350 block and a t5 and a few other parts, did things here and there but never fully commited to it. It makes me sad i failed and never got it on the road and it was a big source of shame that ruined my love of cars for a long time

So glad he kept the stock rims, i want to do the excat same thing but not have them chromed, rather highly polish them and high temp clear coat them

Mike’s chromed stock rims look so good in person. 😍 Love to see how your method would turn out. BTW, thanks for watching and taking the time to drop a comment!

I knew they made them, had to look it up. 81 was only turbo v6 monte far as I can tell. What a shame. Buick didnt get it right with hot air cars by then. If they had made an 87 turbo it would be 1 of the top gbodies.

I believe it was 80-81 for the turbo v6 😉

Nice mean looking Monte! I guess I’m wired different though. I still don’t understand and will never ever understand why some people get certain cars and make thousands of modifications to it. Would you change a Ferrari? A Grand National? Yeah, the Monte Gbody doesn’t have a lot power, yeah it should’ve had this and that, but for me personally, I like it the way it is. I love my Gbody (Not a Monte) it has no juice, but it’s 1000 % stock!!! And it’s staying that way forever!

That car is super nice but I would really take it back to the body/paint guy and have him line up them doors properly the body lines are off because of it and it's easy to notice especially on a black car....

Opinion, it depends on the condition More importantly, it depends on you. A certain car can be priceless to an owner because it has meaning to them. If you’re dream has been to own an ‘85 Monte Carlo and now you have your chance and you can afford it… we say, chase your dream.
