Vehicle Description
How do you describe what Dale Earnhardt meant - and still means -
to NASCAR fans everywhere? His legacy remains strong today. Without
question, although he had won an all-time best 7 Cup Championships
(tied with The King, Richard Petty) Dale's star was still on the
rise at the time of his untimely passing. He had it all, he was a
consistent winner, he had a charismatic charm but yet a bad-boy
image, and to top it off, the perfect nickname. The Intimidator.
So, by the time 2001 came around, his black #3 race car had become
a legend itself. Dale had a long and successful partnership with
Chevrolet, and the carmaker wasted no time in releasing a tribute
vehicle. The 2002 Monte Carlo SS High Sport presented here is
all-original and has been driven only 40,600 miles by just two
previous owners. Number 970 of just 3,333 built, it showcases many
important trademarks and logos such as RCR Richard Childress
Racing, The Intimidator, the famous #3 logo itself, and a
reproduction of Dale Earnhardt's signature front and center on the
speedometer as a constant reminder of the man and that you are
driving a special car. With a smooth 3.8 liter V6 engine and
automatic transmission, the 2002 Monte Carlo SS itself is an
excellent choice for a sporty car that you can drive and enjoy as
much as you wish. From the sunroof down to the diamond cut aluminum
wheels, it's well equipped with the comfort and convenience options
you would expect in a new car. The experience goes beyond the
typical classic car idiosyncrasies into true luxury. Such niceties
as dual zone climate control, power windows and locks, keyless
entry, leather bucket seats and a leather wrapped tilt wheel, plus
a six speaker sound system with satellite radio are all part of the
package. Four-wheel ABS disc brakes, driver's side airbag, and
traction control offer safety and peace of mind as well. As a
bonus, a 1:18 scale die-cast collectible model of the truly iconic
#3 Goodwrench Winston Cup Monte Carlo. This is an image that
carried the banner high for NASCAR and for Chevrolet for many
years. It comes with service records and extra keys; and to
document this historically significant car, it comes with its
original window sticker.

custom vehicles. We have more than 200 vehicles in our collection
and have sold dozens nationwide and even overseas. We recommend
that all buyers who are unable to view a vehicle in person have a
pre-purchase inspection done prior to purchase. Inspections can be
performed by an independent party selected by the buyer. Due to the
age and uniqueness of these special vehicles, it is difficult to
cover all aspects and characteristics of each vehicle's condition
within the limited space available. Thus, pre-purchase inspections
are helpful to all parties involved. The information provided for
