Vehicle Description
In a world where pump gas was $1.32, Raiders of the Lost Ark played
on the big screen, and the word internet was first mentioned, one
car came out that made its mark. For sale in our Fort Lauderdale
showroom is this one of a kind, truly special 1981 Chevrolet Monte
Carlo SS Pro Street. The car was named for the city Monte Carlo in
the Principality of Monaco, What makes this different than many Pro
Street cars is that it is right at home on both the street and the
track. It can be a tame car when you need it to be, but step on the
accelerator and it's a different animal completely. Pro street cars
were popular in the 1980's, and are gaining popularity today. You
can drive it to your around town and to your favorite car show or
take it to the track with no problem. It runs on pump gas! All of
the typical problems with Pro Street cars have been addressed. No
rough idle, no overheating, and no issues to speak of. The engine,
one of the most impressive parts of this car, is a 468cid big block
Chevy with AFR heads, scorpion roller rockers, air gap intake,
quick fuel 950Q carburetor, Hooker super comp headers and much,
much more. With a 10.8 to 1 compression ratio, this pump gas engine
is a naturally aspirated monster. Mated to this beast of an engine
is a TCI Super Street Fighter 400 automatic transmission with
Cheetah shifter and a big trans cooler. This Pro Street Monte Carlo
SS has a 9-inch braced rear end, back halved with ladder bars, a
Detroit locker with 456 gears, performance axles, built drive
shaft, just to name a few parts. There is a lot of custom body work
and chassis fabrication that went into the build of this car. This
SS sounds great with its 3.5 inch exhaust with crossover pipe and
race mufflers. The super-wide rear tires on this Monte Carlo SS
have enough grip to get you up to speed and back to a stop in no
time. The ride is comfortable on the coilover suspension. This car
actually has a useable trunk! Don't let this chance go by to have a
Pro Street that can do it all. For more information or to view the
