Description of 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Base Coupe 2-Door |
There were some great and rare cars that came from the factory in the 1980s if you knew where to look. This 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe is a prime example. The most sporting version of its generation, this car was snuck out Chevy's backdoor with H.O. V8 power and a classic performance style that remains quite appealing today.The design of this Monte Carlo Aerocoupe is one of the last great NASCAR factory custom racers. Chevrolet engineered this limited production car specifically to go faster on the track. They rectified the brick-like design of the Monte Carlo with a long and sloping rear window to give these GM cars a new wind-cheating advantage. Thanks to NASCAR's rulebook, any car company wanting to make this kind of large modification would also have to offer them to the public. These often had tantalizingly low production numbers, and there were only 6,052 Aerocoupes produced in 1987 - its final year. This is the same outlaw attitude that created legendary cars like the Dodge Charger Daytona and Ford Torino Talladega, but now you get it in a much more modern coupe. This kind of history is why you're looking at such an amazingly preserved example. The coupe has barely averaged over 1,200 miles annually, and this kind of light use shows everywhere. The original Metallic Silver paint still retains its showroom shine, and the iconic triple-stripe and badging is still crisp. The whole body looks excellently preserved right down to the factory alloy wheels, so you know this collectable has been treated with care all its life.Gray fabric was a good choice in this SS. It's a complementing color to the exterior, which is exactly what you want because plenty of people will see it thanks to the rare T-tops. The seats, carpets, headliner, and door panels are nicely preserved on this original interior. 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, including power windows, power locks, electric rear defogger, cruise control, and the original AM/FM/cassette stereo. The original air conditioning has been adapted to modern R134a for easy servicing and a longer life. The driver faces a black factory performance steering wheel with bold SS horn ring. In front of that is a sporty full gauge package, including tach. And it's all set in a dash that has cool aggressive red streaks running through it.On a car this original it's great to see the numbers-matching 305 cubic-inch High Output small block V8 under the hood. Topped by a four-barrel carburetor, it's a strong runner with plenty of old-school muscle car torque. The condition of the car is exactly what you would expect with only 36,783 original miles. Linked to a 200-4R four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive, 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 complete control.Complete with paperwork such as the owner's manual and original warranty info, this Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe is already a collector's item. So don't wait around too long, because its amazing preservation, rarity, and value price means this one will be leaving us quickly. Call today!!! |
