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!!!

"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.
This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree.
As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.

2022 Detroit Auto Show Editors' Picks

Fri, Sep 16 2022

As tends to be the case in this post-ish-pandemic world of auto shows, the North American International Auto Show was a strange one. It was at least mostly indoors and thus not at the mercy of Mother Nature. And unlike that first Chicago Show following the initial pandemic shutdown, this one was all assembled before the media arrived. Even with a much thinner show floor, the Detroit Auto Show still gave us a number of noteworthy reveals. Now, full disclosure, the rules for our Detroit picks were made a little more flexible, since some of these vehicles were revealed a little before the week of the show. But we still focused on vehicles that were making their show debut, and were actually present on the floor. Sadly, that means we had to leave out the Jeep Recon and Wagoneer S electric SUV concepts. Odds are, those would've made it into our list of the top five if they had actually been on display. Now, on to the winners. 2023 Jeep Wrangler Willys 4xe View 18 Photos 5. 2023 Jeep Wrangler Willys 4xe This was an easy one. While there's nothing so remarkable about the Willys that it makes this package a must-buy, it's nice to see another model available with the 4xe powertrain. Just one question, though: Where was the Recon? – Byron Hurd Chevrolet Blazer EV View 7 Photos 4. 2024 Chevy Blazer EV As a fan of the K5 and S-10 Blazer generations, I was a bit bemused when the current-gen crossover came out ... until I drove it and realized how good it actually is. Now that there's a Blazer EV incoming, I feel like I can become a true fan again. And there's a lot for fans to appreciate: FWD, RWD and AWD versions, and even a 557-horsepower SS variant. In a lineup of practical, Ultium-based Chevy utes, it's good to see an attainable product that enthusiasts can get behind — along the lines of Ford with its Mustang Mach-E — while we wait for an electric Corvette. — Senior Editor, Green, John Beltz Snyder 2023 Chrysler 300C View 28 Photos 3. 2023 Chrysler 300C In a poignant press conference with the Spirit of Detroit statue in the background, Chrysler sent its flagship 300 out properly with a 6.4-liter Hemi V8. Stellantis design chief Ralph Gilles articulated the car's successes — its many awards and sterling reviews from its early days — and the cover came off with a veritable 300C hot rod on display. One more time, the 300 is at full strength. To be clear, this isn't the 300S with an available 5.7-liter.

2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Not only are commercial-grade haulers getting more green love lately, they're getting more different kinds of green love. The 2016 Green Truck of the Year, the second time the award has been handed out, is being decided by judges from Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show. This year the award is joined by the new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year, which crowns one of the little vans increasingly used by small business as cargo and delivery vehicles. The Green Truck of the Year finalists are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax (pictured), Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. The first three of those were on last year's list, but since they are completely new or upgraded for 2016 - Ford with its all-aluminum body, the General Motors twins with the new diesel Duramax engine - they qualify for entry again. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won last year. The Commercial Green Car finalists are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. You can read more details in the presser below, and the awards will be announced in San Antonio sometime during the show from November 19-22. San Antonio Auto & Truck Show Announces 2016 Green Truck of the Year and Commercial Green Car of the Year Finalists SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show have announced finalists for the 2016 Green Truck of the Year™ and 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ awards. The Green Truck of the Year™ nominees are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. Vying for the all-new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. "Over the past few decades, new car models have benefitted from design and technology improvements that have brought higher fuel efficiency and greater levels of environmental compatibility," said Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com Editor and Publisher Ron Cogan. "With models like these ten deserving finalists, we're witnessing the pickup and light commercial vehicle field enjoying the same attention." The new Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award is part of an expanded awards program presented at this year's 2015 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show.
