1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Luxuary Sport 47K Original Miles

Up for sale is my SUPER CLEAN 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Luxuary Sport with 47,700+ original miles. She has never seen the snow while I have owned her and is ALWAYS garaged. Below is an honest description of her, both good and bad!

 

Engine and Mechanics

This car has a very good and strong original factory running 4.3L V-6 engine with only 47,700+ original miles. Starts right up even in the cold winter weather and idles steady and even, as well as a smooth shifting transmission. She handles great, with no pulling to either side, on the streets as well as the highway, with no shaking as you pick up speed, even when the cruise control is activated. When starting up, this car has a nice steady hum with no rattling at all.  

I am an old school car lover, especially of the 1970s-1980s era, and believe in treating my classics as my babies. In saying this, I personally always maintenance my cars on a regular basis or send them to my personal mechanic who is a family owned business and has been working on my cars for 15 years. I use a plus grade of gasoline in her and stick with the same brand all the time.

 

Interior

Her interior, in the front and the back, are plush burgundy and all factory original and in very good condition. The sunroof is sealed tight and secure with a tint on the glass. The windows are clean and free from cracks also with a tint. The dash is in good condition with no show of sun damage, but there are two vents that are missing a few teeth. This is an inexpensive and super easy fix. The ashtray and cigarette lighter are both in good working order as well as the storage compartment on the passenger side, which locks. The carpet is clean with show of normal wear as well as the interior door fabric, with a slight show of sun discoloration, but nothing huge. The seats are a plush bench seat with the separation of the drivers and two passenger seating areas, also with a slight show of sun discoloration on the headrest, but again nothing huge. All the lights and switches work inside the car and on the dash as well as the factory radio and tape player. The wheel is in great condition with no missing parts and tilts with ease as well as a strong blowing horn. The heater and air conditioning mecanisims work as well as the cruise control. The interior of the trunk is in great condition with no holes or rust spots, and has a spare tire and jack that look brand new. The only flaws inside the car are the headliner, which is not ripped but drooping. Would just need to be re-glued, and the spring in the sunroof latch keeps popping out when being opened. I believe it to be just a worn spring or just to short of a spring, but the sunroof does open and close and lock. Other then these two flaws she is all original on the inside and in beautiful condition and very comfortable!!!

 

Exterior

The exterior is in flawless condition with all of the chrome, trunk lock, door locks and handles, and emblems in place and in good working order. The weather stripping is thick and in good shape, the doors close solidly. There is absoulutly NO DENTS OR DINGS OR RUST ANYWHERE on this car. The windshield is super clean with good looking and working wipers. The side view mirrors are clean and scratch free. All the lights and lenses and reflectors are intact, in place and very clean with no haze. This car also is equipped with a third brake light that also works. The bumpers are not dented and cracked nor missing parts. The door jams are rust free as well as along the bottom of the doors.  This car on the exterior is all original except for the paint job, rims and muffler. The cars factory color was burgundy, but I had it painted a custom Pearl white that does not flip to a different color other then a brighter white in the sunlight. It has also been painted along the bottom of the car with a scratch resistance compound that keeps the rocks or any other hard objects from denting the bottom of the vehicle.  The paint job was done by my personal mechanic who also owns a paint shop which is also family owned, and yes they are very much professional painters. No amatur job here. All of the door jams, trunk jams and the underside of the trunk, as well as the jams under the hood have all been painted pearl white, so there is no burgundy showing anywhere. The rims are size 15s and came off of my el camino which the rim has also been painted the custom pearl white to match the car, and the tires are brand new. The muffler came equipped with a single pipe which I changed to a custom dual exhaust system. She also comes with an extra gas tank. Like I said before, she is flawless on the outside and a beauty to look at weather clean or dirty. She's just a beastie looking car!!! 

 

Overall

She is a very attractive piece of history, aging at 26 years of age and has treated me extremely well as I have her. She is very reliable and I would not hesitate to drive her long distance if need be. She has always been garaged, since I've had her, year round and has only been driven in the summer months. She comes from a smoke free home and all the maintenance and custom items I've put on her have been done in the 2011-2012 year. As I said, she has NEW... BRAKES, TIRES, PAINT JOB AND EXHAUST SYSTEM, and her flaws are... the droopy headliner, two vents missing some teeth and the sunroof latch with a worn spring, but still opens, closes and locks the sunroof.

As you may see this year and style Monte Carlo around, there are not many that are still somewhat factory original, which have not been modified with hydraulics or huge rims and tires or loud systems. I mean just the european head lights alone are what make her unique. I'm not looking to bank big on her, but I know how rare she is in this original condition and I hope that whoever wins her will see the beauty that she is and feel as thoe the money they spent was well worth it!!!

Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have about my car PRIOR to bidding!!!

Thank you for taking the time to look at her and Happy Bidding!!!

eBay Find of the Day: 1990 Chevy 1500 454 SS with just 7 miles

Sun, Jan 4 2015

When trawling the classifieds either on a buying mission or merely a time-wasting mission, we spend a lot of time poring over photographs comparing the seller's idea of "Like New!" with our idea of it. It's hard to argue with seven original miles on the odometer, though, which is what this 1990 Chevrolet 1500 454 SS has. It's being sold by Country Chevrolet on eBay, the same dealer who sold the truck to its one and only owner 25 years ago. The purchaser bought two of them and left this one in a garage under a car cover, said garage being less than seven miles away from the showroom floor. Better yet, you can buy with confidence because the seller "has collected all records," which we expect would be the slimmest manilla folder in the history of receipt-keeping. For those unfamiliar, the 454 SS was a half-ton, regular cab, 2WD pickup powered by a 454 cubic inch (7.4-liter) V8 with 230 horsepower and 385 pound-feet of torque shifting through a three-speed transmission. This was at the same time the Chevrolet Corvette used a 5.7-liter V8 producing 250 hp and 350 lb-ft. The pickup rode on exclusive wheels and only came in black with red cloth inside. The only extra-cost option on this example is an $18 locking fuel filler cap, which, according to the 454ss forum, means it should have cost about $18,460 out the door, the equivalent of about $34,000 today. At the time of writing there are zero bids, but proceedings open at $45,000 and Country Chevrolet wants $49,000 if you have to have your time capsule right now.

Weekly Recap: Lamborghini to build SUV

Sat, May 30 2015

Finally, Lamborghini will build a sport utility vehicle. The Italian supercar maker confirmed this week that it will launch a luxury SUV in 2018. It will be built at Lamborghini's soon-to-expand factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese in Italy, and will double the company's current sales volume. Lamborghini did not announce a name for the vehicle or other details, but noted a concept version, the Urus, was displayed at the Beijing motor show in 2012. It will be sold around the world, but it's expected to be a critical offering in the United States, China, and the Middle East. The automaker projects the SUV will sell about 3,000 units per year, and it will be the third product in Lamborghini's portfolio. It currently sells the Huracan and Aventador supercars. "The introduction of a third model line endorses the stable and sustainable growth of the company and signifies for us the beginning of a new era," Lamborghini chief executive Stephan Winkelmann said in a statement. The project is also a boon for Italy, which will get 500 new jobs in the Emilia Romagna region as Lamborghini's factory will nearly double in size. Ian Fletcher, principal analyst for IHS Automotive, said the SUV will position Lamborghini for future growth. "It could well also bring new customers to the brand [who] may find the dramatic styling of Lamborghini products appealing, but find its typical sports cars restrictive," he said. "If it is a success, the SUV could be a catalyst to Lamborghini broadening its portfolio further." OTHER NEWS & NOTES GM invests in Chevy Camaro factory General Motors is investing $175 million to upgrade its factory in Lansing, MI, to build the 2016 Chevy Camaro. The investment will pay for new tooling and equipment. The improvements include three new paint systems and two new robotic framers. GM will add a second shift at the factory to build the Camaro, resulting in 500 jobs. The automaker had dropped the plant to one shift last year amid slow sales for its products, the Cadillac ATS and CTS. GM is spending $5.4 billion over the next three years to upgrade its US facilities. Last week, GM announced plans to spend $439 million to build a new paint shop for the Chevy Corvette. While the Camaro and Corvette plant improvements are intriguing to enthusiasts, GM also confirmed this week that it is investing $1.2 billion in its Fort Wayne (IN) factory that builds trucks.
