Here you go folks, a 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe! This SS Aerocoupe is a good solid project, and something that let's you build it the way you want it! These things are getting harder and harder to find, and as you know, the Aerocoupe was a two year car only. The rear window in these things go for big bucks, and this one is perfect.
It has the original 305 SBC with 200R auto trans. The engine appears to have a valve train noise, and not sure what condition the trans is in. So assume both need rebuilt or replaced. Low mileage 305's in this area sell for approx $400, so it would be pretty cheap to get back on the road. Both the engine and trans were being disconnected for removal, when owner lost interest. All emissions equipment is there and in the trunk (picture shown). All brackets appear to be there as well, and engine bay looks good. It will need an exhaust system from manifolds back. All computer equipment is there to make for an easy 305 swap, or rip it all out and stick in a 350 SBC, whatever direction you want to go.
Body is real nice for having sat around. Only found a few small rust spots (eraser size) in the lower pan of the spare tire well, other than that, trunk looks great, and has the original jack and lug wrench, but missing the spare. Front nose cone is in great shape, and the upper front nose cone mount is solid (these usually rust out quick). Doesn't appear to have ever been hit. Frame and underside look real good too. Car appears to have had one repaint a while ago, and the flat surfaces on hood, roof, and deck lid have faded.All glass is good, door glass is manual, and the rear aero glass is perfect. The paint on the drivers side quarter below the quarter glass is cracking. Drive it the way it is, or sand and paint it the way you want it! Replacement door handles are in the trunk that look new (also pictured).
Thanks for the questions already. However per the description, I will not part this SS Aerocoupe out. You want to buy the rear glass or nose cone, you'll have to buy the whole car and you can part it out. I certainly appreciate the math lesson one gentlemen provided me on what I can get for this car by parting it out, but again not interested in either :).
The interior is in decent shape, but you may want to replace the dash pad (your choice), and needs a rear bottom seat. All seat belts are there, bucket seats and console. Shifter is not hooked up, and the console just laying in-place. The upper door panels are faded, as well as upper seats front sitting in the sun. Keep them the way they are, dye them, or have it all reupholstered. Again, your choice.
The gentlemen that owned this Aerocoupe, had quite a few Monte's, which were all in great shape. He's just decided he's had enough, and moving the projects he know's he won't get too. This is a project car, but can be put back on the road with little effort! This thing is to nice to part out or make a race car out of, so please don't ask me to sell parts off of it. Good Luck!

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.

Buick Velite is a not-so-Volt-like plug-in hybrid concept for China
Mon, Nov 7 2016Is the Buick Velite a Volt by any other name? That's a question worth asking after General Motors said that the Buick Velite concept vehicle will make its global debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show later this month. GM says the car "will provide a template for upcoming models being launched under the Buick Blue new energy vehicle strategy." Whether that means the Velite is a variant of the second-generation of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in is open to interpretation. Some automotive publications, including Autoweek, are saying that's the case, but GM China doesn't mention the Volt in its press release, only saying that the car is a "high-performance" plug-in hybrid vehicle. As we know, GM doesn't use the "PHEV" descriptor for the Volt, which makes us thing the Velite's powertrain is more like the Cadillac CT6 PHEV. Either way, the concept was developed by the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC), which is a joint venture between GM and Shanghai-based SAIC. As far as the name, GM has been shopping the Velite moniker around for a while now. The automaker first used Buick Velite for the convertible concept vehicle it showed off at the 2004 New York Auto Show. More recently, GM in 2014 filed to use the name for the US variant of its Opel Cascada four-seat convertible model, which debuted in 2013. As for the second-generation version of the Volt, that model appears to be gaining favor in the US. Domestic sales of the Volt through October have surged 64 percent from a year earlier to more than 18,500 units. The new version boosted its all-electric range by 40 percent to 53 miles while increasing its power output by 20 percent.
