Vehicle Description
This 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS like this is a signpost for most
of us. It's so well presented and preserved, that we take one look,
each one of us has a different memory of when we first saw this
distinctive aerodynamic shape. And when was the last time nostalgia
came with A/C comfort, V8 power, and such a nice price?
This is one of the last great cool personal coupes. The design of
the Monte Carlo SS was all about being aerodynamically enhanced.
The front end had a special design to cut the air, and there's a
small duck tail spoiler on the rear. Even the badging was kept
aerodynamic, so it correctly wears its SS designation in bold red
decals on the doors and rear. This looks great with the wraparound
triple stripe that goes from a bold red and fades to black. It
looks particularly nice against the factory-correct white paint
that we believe is original to the car. And when something looks
this good three decades later, you know it has been a
well-respected coupe. In fact, the body is excellently preserved
right down to the factory alloy wheels.
Burgundy fabric was a good choice in the SS, because it matches the
bold but sophisticated tone of the exterior. Plus, averaging less
than 1,200 miles annually means there was little time to wear in
any of it. The buckets provide good bolstering, but still give the
same all-day comfort you expect in any Monte Carlo. Plus, there's a
center console for added relaxation. It's a luxury performance car,
so you get plenty of comfort features such as ice-cold air
conditioning, cruise control, tilt wheel, and an upgraded AM/FM/CD
stereo. The driver faces a black factory performance steering
wheel. In front of that is a sporty full gauge package, and it's
all set in a dash that carries a sporty red stripe, just like the
exterior.
On a car this original, it's great to see the numbers-matching 305
cubic-inch High Output small block under the hood. And the
low-mileage means it still looks factor fresh. Just like the best
Monte Carlos before it, this V8 is topped with a Rochester
four-barrel carburetor - but now it's computer controlled for
optimal performance. This creates a torque-filled package that is
perfect no matter if you're using this personal coupe for luxury or
performance. The same goes for great anytime features like the
power steering, front disc brakes, and 200-4R four-speed automatic
transmission with highway-friendly overdrive.
Complete with owner's manual, rarely do you get to find a
well-preserved classic that's this distinct and affordable. That's
why you also know you have to act fast to take it home. Call
