This 1986 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS is the definition of a "loved"
car. Originally sold at Sawyer Chevrolet in East Lansing, MI, this
G-Body classic has been meticulously preserved by an owner who
treated maintenance as a craft. With 137,623 fully documented
original miles, this isn't just a car; it's a time capsule
accompanied by a mountain of history, including the original
warranty booklet and a handwritten service interval log detailing
its life on the road.
The Factory Build (RPO Decoded):
This is a true-born Super Sport, confirmed by the Z15 RPO code on
the original Service Parts Identification sticker. It was ordered
with the most desirable performance trifecta available in 1986:
L69 5.0L High Output V8: The top-tier 305ci engine with a factory
4-barrel carb.
GT4 3.73 Rear Axle: Paired with the G80 Limited Slip (Positraction)
for serious off-the-line punch.
F41 Suspension: Providing the firm, flat, and predictable handling
these SS models are famous for.
Exterior:
Finished in 12U Silver with its original upper-body striping, this
Monte Carlo presents as an honest, well-kept survivor. The car was
Ziebart undercoated early in its life, which has done a fantastic
job preserving the structural integrity of the underside. While the
Carfax is clean, we believe in full transparency: there is some
prior rust repair/paintwork visible below the lower stripe, along
with minor bubbling and scaling typical of unrestored G-Bodies.
Overall, it retains a high-quality "survivor" curb appeal that is
hard to replicate.
Interior:
The Medium Dark Gray (82D) cloth interior is in top-tier
condition-impressively clean and free of smells, stains, or
significant wear. It features the comfortable AM6 split-bench seat
and tilt steering. Best of all, it is equipped with the highly
coveted CC1 glass T-Tops, which come complete with their original
storage bags. It is a quiet, comfortable cabin that reflects the
care of its previous long-term ownership.
Underhood & Underbody:
Mechanically, this Monte Carlo is dialed in. The L69 HO V8 starts
up quiet and smoke-free, while the MX0 4-speed automatic overdrive
transmission makes it a fantastic highway cruiser. Underneath, the
Ziebart coating has kept the frame and floors in solid condition.
Please note: the AC is currently non-functional, but the rest of
the electrical and mechanical systems remain robust. The car comes
with over 75 service receipts totaling thousands of dollars,
proving that no expense was spared in its upkeep.
Driving:
This SS drives exactly as a documented survivor should-tight,
responsive, and confident. The brake pedal is firm, the steering is
true, and the car shifts through the gears flawlessly. It is a rare
pleasure to drive a G-Body that hasn't been abused or modified
beyond recognition; it feels "sorted" in a way only a
well-maintained original can.
Conclusion:
This is a rare opportunity to own a documented piece of Chevy
history. Between the verified L69/GT4/G80 performance specs, the
factory T-Tops, and the incredible paper trail, this Monte Carlo SS
is ready for its next caretaker. It's an honest, investment-grade
driver that stands out in a sea of modified examples. Please note:
We only have what is seen in the photos and video; we encourage you
to review the service history and condition shots to appreciate the
level of care this car has received.
