1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS

Description

Heading up the short list of cars from the '80s that are sure to be future collectables is this 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS coupe. The most sporting version of an all-time favorite, it has a classic performance look and style that remains quite appealing today. So to find one in an exceptionally well preserved in a rare color combo, and with a value price, makes it an irresistible couple.

Black might be the best of the SS colors, giving the big coupe a lot of presence. There has been a lot of care that has gone into this coupe, and so while the paint looks original, it also still has a terrific shine. Even the pinstripe, wraparound tri-tone striping, and decals look like the factory pieces. This is particularly important because most of the time you'll see these black Monte Carlos with red accents. The gold is a rare commodity, so to have it this well preserved is a big "wow" factor. The sporty urethane chin spoiler and unique nose give the SS its NASCAR-inspired attitude and a subtle deck lid spoiler reinforces that it's a grown-up hot rod, not a boy racer. There's no chrome left on the SS, with its body-colored bumpers and blacked-out trim, all of which remains in good condition overall. The level of preservation on this one is so thorough it extends to the factory alloy wheels, so you know this collectable has been treated with care all its life.

The saddle tan fabric is the perfect choice for this unique SS. It matches the exterior accent nicely and has a timeless look of quality. The buckets provide good bolstering, but still give the same all-day comfort you expect in any Monte Carlo. Plus, there's a center console for added relaxation. It's a luxury performance car, so you get plenty of comfort features such as power windows, power locks, cruise control, tilt wheel, electric rear defogger, the original AM/FM/cassette stereo, and provisions for air conditioning. The driver faces a black factory performance steering wheel. The bold black and red here is repeated on the sporty full gauge package and continues across the whole dash.

On a car this original it's great to see the numbers-matching 305 cubic-inch High Output small block V8 under the hood. It's a strong runner with plenty of old-school muscle car torque. The condition of the car is exactly what you would expect on a car that has averaged only 3,400 miles annually. Linked to a 200-4R four-speed automatic overdrive transmission, it's a fantastic highway cruiser. The suspension is tuned to be entertaining but you can still feel this car's luxury coupe origins underneath, so it's great for road trips. It even has power steering and front disc brakes to keep you in compete control.

Beautiful, unique, and affordable, it is going to be hard to beat this well-preserved Monte Carlo SS. Complete with the original owner's manual, this is one of the best ways to own and enjoy the new class of classics. Call today!!!
