This 1984 Bitter SC is one of just 461 coupes built between 1979-1989 and is believed to have been sold new by a General Motors dealership in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia to a doctor in New Brunswick. The car remained with the original owner until 2015, and the car was acquired by the seller earlier this year. This example is finished in silver over red leather, and features original Ronal wheels and tires. Power comes from an Opel-sourced 3.0L inline-six paired with an automatic transmission, and a recent service included an oil change and partial fuel line replacement. A Senator Monza workshop manual is included in the sale, and the car is offered with a clean Nova Scotia title in the seller’s name.

This example is finished in silver, with notable scratching present on the trunk lid as well as chipped paint on various body panels and the lower edge of the front bumper. The seller believes that the rear quarter panels and bumper have been repainted, with some visible blending present.

Corrosion is noted on the right rear quarter panel, under the trunk lid near the driver-side taillight, on the driver-side B-pillar, and on the driver-side shock tower. The stylized Bitter badge can be seen below the passenger-side tail light.
