Vehicle Description
2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS
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 with this familiar name, and reflect opulence,
quality and wealth. And hold the long standing home to Formula 1
racing which takes place through the streets of the city.
For consignment, a 2006 version of the bowtie classic Monte Carlo
and an SS trimmed edition to boot. A very well preserved 47,696
title verified original mileage car, with all original steel
panels, showroom new interior, and all 3 of the known issue blend
door actuators replaced. Add into the mix a 5.3 Liter V8, some
NASCAR inspired lines and all in showroom condition and you're
ready for the high banked oval!
Exterior
Victory Red bathes the panels of this car which are straight and
rust free. SS badging makes an appearance on the trunk and deck lid
and is about the extent of the chrome dressing the body. Black
trimmings for the windows, a power sunroof is on top, and a silver
band of rocker covering encircles the car at the lowers. On back a
rear spoiler and more rounded versions of the triangular tail
lights that adorned Montes of yore greet us. Aerodynamic design
abounds from the body integrated headlights, smooth coke
bottle-esque sides, and tall NASCAR derived rear spoiler. 18-inch
polished wheels with a thick star pattern spoke shape adds bling to
all the corners and arewrapped in like new 235/50R18 rubber . Grab
your fire suit and helmet, we're hopping inside!
Interior
In lieu of climbing through the window to gain entry, (just like
those Nascar guys do!), I swung the wide door that has Ebony
shapely molded panels that form the basis for the actuator power
locks, power windows and mirror adjustment wheel toggle. An inset
speaker and a lower storage area is noted as well within all this
curvaceous design. Inside are 2 nice wide high bucket seats covered
in near perfect Ebony tuck and roll leather. In the center is a
molded rounded console with a glove box/armrest and shifter
housing. More sculpting with plastic panels and padded vinyl as it
moves up to the original dash, where here we see the temp controls
and digital AM/FM/CD radio. The instruments are neatly organized in
front of the driver and are within an oval format. Within the
steering wheel are radio and cruise control buttons for hands on
operation. In back, a very sporty rear bench, also in Ebony
leather, has a nifty fold down central armrest. Clean black
carpeting floods the floors, and above is a tight headliner framing
the power moonroof.
Drivetrain
Under the hood in the nicely detailed and clean engine bay is the
original 303hp 5.3 Liter V8. It has EFI and a 4T65E 4-speed
automatic transmission attached. It exhales through dual outlet
exhaust, and for the axle, we weigh in at a 3.29 ratio.
Undercarriage
To confirm the low mileage claim just have a look at the underside,
and this where you will be hard pressed to find something awry.
Factory Victory Red paint is covering the flooring and unibody and
it's hard to find a trace of surface rust on the suspension
components. Independent coil springs are on all 4 corners as are
power disc brakes and the factory installed twin muffler single to
dual exhaust is in charge of the exhale.
Drive-Ability
She fired right up and off to the test track I flew. Blister
acceleration with a touch of torque steer from this front wheel
driver was noted, as was good bias free panic stopping, and
excellent handling. All functions worked perfectly but I kept my
track time short as to preserve the low miles.
A nicely kept low mileage edition of the Monte Carlo SS with the
high high performance 5.3 liter V8. Some tasteful Nascar inspired
styling and leather interior with plenty of creature comforts.
Boogitty, Boogitty Boogitty let's go racin'.
