   Wow! We also had one of each; an 86 MC/SS in Silver and an 88 IROC-Z in   
   Maroon...The Monte went by-by back in 98 and the Camaro was sold just two   
   years ago with just under 149k on it.

   Was it a V6 or a V8? The biggest V8 was a 267ci, unless it was a wagon,   
   which had a 305 and an optional 350.
