Vehicle Description
1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
As any self-respecting Monegasque will tell you, Monte Carlo is the
part of the principality that is the sparkling diamond on top of
the gold ring. A famous casino, as well as an American car, are
closely associated to this familiar name, and reflect opulence,
quality and wealth.
Typically a garage find is a rare car and in questionable
condition...but a rare example. A 1987 Monte Carlo is not exactly a
rare example. HOWEVER a Monte Carlo from 1987 with 4,631 ORIGINAL
MILES is a rare find. The consigner being the second owner, states
that the original owner just avoided driving the car, because he
found it so nice, he didn't want to get it marred, or damaged in
any way. This ALL ORIGINAL car (although in full disclosure, the
battery has been replaced) is in showroom condition. A time capsule
if you will.
Exterior
Dark Maroon metallic paint in showroom condition covers the outside
of this car. Red accents, and red painted on badging are seen
throughout. A black skirt also in original condition bands the
bottom of this car. Headlights, brake lights, grille are all in
showroom condition, and have no marring or bugs. Top is in original
unfaded state and has only seen the light of day during a show into
which it was entered.
Interior
Red crushed velour bucket seats, with vinyl side and bottom skirts,
as well as red crushed velour bench seat 5 adults comfortably. A
red vinyl console with a floor shifter is between the front bucket
seats, and includes the automatic shift lever, which is in
virtually perfect black plastic field. Dash is all original and in
showroom condition. Red cut pile carpeting, with no fading or
staining finishes off the passenger compartment floor. Crushed
velour vertical stitched, and vinyl as well as red plastic make up
the door panels. Chromed electric window, lock and remote mirror
buttons are also seen in each door. Everything in showroom
condition!
Drivetrain
A 305CI H.O. (High output) engine sits in an engine compartment
that could also double as a dinner table all is in (I know, I
know!) showroom condition. A 4-speed automatic transmission, A
frame independent front suspension, and coil spring rear suspension
make up the drivetrain. Original tires, and 15" aluminum mag wheels
are seen all around. Underside shows a little surface rust on
driveshaft, but otherwise immaculate like the topside.
A book with original sales receipt, and window sticker, as well as
extensive documentation and show awards comes with this car.
A true LOW LOW mileage car, well maintained, and driven or
trailered only to shows. Multi award winning car, with only 1 fault
as seen by this writer...the light bulb that illuminates the engine
compartment is missing from inside the hood.
