Gateway Classic Cars of Louisville is proud to present this awesome
1987 Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe. With only 6052 Super Sport Monte
Carlo Aero Coupes built during 1987, this is a one off amazing
piece of history. Bought by the current owner 20 years ago, he
decided to build this car the way Chevy should have done it! The
anemic 5.0L V8 that put out only an anemic 180 Horses to the ground
has been discarded. We all tried to convince ourselves, back in the
day, that the 305 was awesome, but it's what you do when you
overcompensating for your deficiencies. The replacement is a very
healthy 350 CID engine that has bored .030 over the block lined
bored, plate honed to insure everything stayed straight during the
machining process. The rotating assembly has been balanced, to
insure longevity of this power plant, with a set of TRW forged flat
top pistons installed and a Crane roller cam (computer friendly
cam) to make this a rock solid piece. To allow this engine to
breathe properly, a set of Trick Flow Twisted Wedge heads, held in
place by ARP head bolts and Crane Gold roller rockers fro
reliability with less resistance. To get plenty of air into the
heads, a T.P.I.S. Big Mouth intake with matched big tube runners
and BBK throttle body set at op the engine. All GM sensors are new
with a new GM Computer. The exhaust is a set of Edelbrock headers,
with a.i.r. injection, that have been Jet Hot coated so they will
last for the life of the car. From the headers, a Torque Tech 2.5
mandrel bent exhaust system with Walker Super Dyno-Max mufflers.
The whole engine compartment including the wiring system has been
done to appear factory. The engine is estimated to put out a
minimum 360 hp, or twice the original power plant. To handle extra
power, the original 200r4 with Art Carr internals and an Art Carr
torque Converter. The rear end has been swapped out for a Buick
Grand National rear end that has new bearings, posi unit, 3.73 ring
& pinion with a set of Moser Street/Strip axles to make the rear
end nearly bullet proof. The interior is all original burgundy
cloth seats and original dashboard. When you set in the interior,
it still looks and smells as good as the day it rolled off the
showroom. Outside the car, the vehicle is done in White gloss
paint, with pin striping that very closely matches the factory
scheme, with difference being on the hood indicating what lies
beneath. Before the new white paint was laid down, the car was
taken completely apart, including being separated from the frame.
The frame was sand blasted, painted in a semi gloss, then all new
parts were installed including; new stainless fuel & brake lines,
Bell Tech 2 inch front drop spindles, 2 inch Bell-Tech springs in
rear w/shocks, NOS GM body bushings. To finish off the look is a
set of COYs 5 wheel with gray centers and a polished outer lip. One
look under the shows the unmatched detail to attention that has
been brought to the whole build of this car. This Monte Carlo has
won at Car Shows regularly over the last 10 years and will continue
to win shows! Everybody has heard the line, "you couldn't build
this car for the price", it is definitely a true statement in this
case. This Monte Carlo here is sure to please a crowd at a car
show, with its low, throaty rumble upon startup, its tire burning
horsepower, and its sleek stylish appearance. Options include
Radial tires, A/C, Power brakes, Power steering, AM/FM radio and
Power windows. This truly one off 1987 Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe is
