Vehicle Description
You're looking at a survivor-grade example of one of the coolest
cars to come out of the 1980s. This 1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS
was one of the last of the rear-wheel drive cool cruisers to get
the muscle car makeover. And best of all, it can all be yours today
for quite an affordable price.
Black might be the best of the SS colors, because it gives this
Monte Carlo a ton of presence. There has been a lot of care that
has gone into this coupe over the last three decades, and so this
original factory paint still knows how to shine. Just as important
is the wraparound tri-tone striping. These are a hallmark of this
SS coupe, and they really pop against the black. Plus, we love this
generation Monte Carlo SS because it was built to cheat the wind.
The special aerodynamic front end, sleek sides, and subtle ducktail
spoiler were all part of a NASCAR-inspired package. Of course what
this package really did was give these SS coupes a modern
chrome-free look that today makes them mean standout classics. And
since 1988 was the final year with one of the lowest production
figures, you're looking at a lot of distinction for not a lot of
money.
Burgundy fabric was a good choice in this SS. It matches the bold
but sophisticated tone of the exterior. And just like the outside,
this appears highly original and treated with respect. The bucket
seats up front 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 power windows, power
locks, cruise control, tilt wheel, electric rear defogger,
provisions for factory air conditioning, and the original
AM/FM/cassette stereo. The driver gets a grippy dual-spoke SS
steering wheel. And that gives you a clear view at sporty full
gauge package (including tach), and it's all set in a black and red
dash that neatly mimics the exterior color scheme.
On a car this original it's great to see the numbers-matching 305
cubic-inch High Output small block V8 under the hood. Plus, you can
see that someone has cared for this car correctly, including fresh
hoses and a new battery. Topped by a four-barrel carburetor, it's a
strong runner with plenty of old-school muscle car torque. Plus,
this setup is linked to a 200-4R four-speed automatic transmission
- an overdrive unit that makes this SS coupe a fantastic highway
cruiser. The complete driving package also includes power steering,
front disc brakes, and thick sway bars front & rear. You even have
the grip of BF Goodrich T/As on the correct 15-inch factory alloy
wheels.
Complete with the original window sticker and owner's manual,
you're looking at a highly original final-year 4th gen Monte Carlo
SS. So when something this interesting is also so affordable, you
should hurry up to grab this deal. Call today!!!
