For Sale: 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo in Morgantown, Pennsylvania for sale in Morgantown, PA
Vehicle Description 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS Over the past 105 years, Chevrolet has built such a vast empire of lovable offerings that some of them just seem to get overlooked.
Possibly the most substantial victim of that unfortunate phenomenon is the storied Monte Carlo.
Introduced in 1970, and proudly parked in over half a million driveways during its first three years of production, the brand's personal luxury coupe was decidedly cool.
And, not as ostentatious as a Corvette or as boorish as a Camaro, the car spent most of its life as the poster child for evolving automotive tastes.
For consignment, this second to last year Monte Carlo before the front wheel drive 5th generation version came along in 1995.
It is a 1 owner, 60,641 mile solid cruiser that's benefitted from as needed maintenance, always being garage kept, never driven in the winter, and mainly used for around town and weekend shopping trips.
A new heater core,the AC has been converted to R134A, cooling system overhaul, and a new cat back stainless exhaust system have moved this once luxo-muscle cruiser from daily driver status to show winner and crowd wower, you simply won't find more muscle and luxury for the money! Exterior Paint code WA8535, Silver Metallic in layman's terms, adorns the exterior of this car, and it has few faults to the finish, mainly some light fading of the finish and some bubbling on the rocker beneath the passenger's door.
Then let's dress things up with some black custom pinstriping and throw on some varying shades of gray for the striping around the wheel wells and mid sections on either side and on the bumper tops in front and rear.
Add on an SS sticker on the door panels, blacken the grille, add a window to the B pillar, a spoiler to the trunk lid and two corner taillights on a swooping down rear panel.
Neoprene body matching colored bumpers give the car an aero look.
The racy look comes from the aluminum wheels which play with satin and shiny silver paint to accentuate their form.
Outline white letter Goodyear tires in 215/65R15 format are on all 4 corners.
Interior Gray crushed velour with gray vinyl bolsters are seen on the rarely ordered front split bench and rear bench seats.
A center fold down armrest is between the front split back bench.
Factory air, along with power windows, power steering and power locks, as well as a toggle for the driver's mirror are the options that came with the original car.
A mix of gray crushed velour, dark gray carpeting and molded gray plastic make up the door panels which are in very good condition.
Gray carpet floods the floors and appears in good condition, but not without some lights soiling on the thresholds.
A clean and tight gray felted headliner hangs above,but does present with a few cigaretteburns.
I can also note a gauge package for this interior and we cannot forget about the trunk with its black carpet, donut spare and room for 3 of your buddies.
Drivetrain Under the hood is a 305ci V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor on top and attached to a 200R4 4-speed automatic transmission that throws power to the rear wheels via a 10 bolt 3.
73:
1 limited slip differential.
This was standard setup for the 1987 Monte Carlo SS and this powerplant generates a respectable for the era 180hp.
All this resides within a dusty and slightly patina riddled engine bay.
Undercarriage F41 sport suspension is mounted to a clean and invasive rust-free frame and undercarriage, (floor pans, wheel wells, and rockers), however we do note some surface rust on the flooring, frame, and suspension components.
Independent coil spring suspension is on front along with power disc brakes and on back power drum brakes work with a 4 link with coil spring suspension.
Dual exhaust with a new Pypes stainless steel cat-back that is nice and clean is noted.
Drive-Ability Always a pleasure to drive one of these, and this one is in fabulous condition.
It fired right up and on the test track cruised and bruised when I put the accelerator to the floor.
Solid panic stopping which was boas free, and good handling.
All functions were functioning as they should but we did note a belt squeal from the accessory drive when the AC was turned on.
The 87 Monte Carlo is easily the nicest A-Body car that General Motors ever produced due to it not looking like anything else on the road.
This example, with its great stance, 1 owner, original interior and powerful V8 engine and you could not ask for anything elsewellyou could, for it to be in your garage.
An almost new 36-year-old car, now that's something to be said.
