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!

GM to trim Russian output, raise prices amid currency woes
Thu, Feb 5 2015General Motors is shutting down its factory in Russia's second largest city, St. Petersburg, from the middle of March until the middle of May as the country's currency, the ruble, continues to give economists fits. The ruble's value has plunged due not only to western sanctions, but a precipitous fall in oil prices. We knew these factors were already impacting the auto industry there, as Ford reported in its 2014 earnings statement, and now they're forcing GM to cut production at the factory, shown above, that is responsible for production of the Chevrolet Cruze and Opel Astra. Meanwhile, Automotive News is citing Russian outlet Kommersant as saying that GM has hiked its prices in the country by an average of 20 percent over the past two months. While a GM spokesman confirmed the St. Petersburg plant would be shut down for the two-month span reported by Kommersant and AN, he would not confirm the price increase.

2014 Chevy Silverado priced from *$24,585, V8 gets better economy than Ford EcoBoost V6
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Chevrolet has thrown down the next hand in the pickup truck poker wars and revealed at least a couple of potential aces - depending on which numbers matter most to you. The 2014 2014 Silverado 1500 with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gets 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, is mated to a six-speed automatic, can tow 11,500 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Package and costs the same as the outgoing Silverado, $24,585 (*including $995 destination fee). Chevy says the Silverado also stands atop the fuel economy charts when comparing any competitor with a V8 engine - and some competitors with V6 engines. The two-wheel drive model returns 16 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined in two-wheel drive guise and 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined as a four-wheel drive.
For context around those numbers, the most fuel efficient V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 pickups lose about two mpg in every metric compared to the Silverado, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost returning 16 city, 18 highway and 22 combined in two-wheel drive. However, that EcoBoost does have 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. You can get a Ram 1500 with a 3.6-liter V6 that gets 25 mpg highway, but it has 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 Ram with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and its 395 hp and 407 lb-ft drops one mpg in every category to the Silverado. Its tow rating is 200 pounds beyond its nearest competitor, the F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Elsewhere, the new Silverado gets a quieter cab with a redesigned interior, a new bed with improved load-management possibilities, disc brakes all around, tweaked steering and suspension, along with free standard scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.
GM laying off 500 workers to slow Chevy Sonic production
Sat, Oct 24 2015Due to slow sales of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, General Motors is cutting a shift at the Orion Township plant that builds the pair. The move lays off about 500 workers, but most of them are expected to get offers to transfer to other factories, Automotive News reports. The move came just a day after GM announced adding 1,200 employees to the Detroit-Hamtramck plant. GM has been trying all year at the Orion Township factory to align production of the Sonic and Verano with their demand. The automaker first attempted idling the plant several times and eventually resorted to laying off about 100 workers. It also reduced the production rate there. With the huge rise in popularity of crossovers, demand for the plant's small cars is on the downturn. According to Automotive News, there's currently a 116-day supply of Sonics and 100 days of Veranos to sell. Delivers tell a similar tale because the Chevy is off 35.2 percent from January to September, and the Buick does little better with a 27.2 percent drop from the same period last year. While the situation at Orion Township might look rough now, big things are on the horizon. Soon, the new Chevy Bolt electric vehicle will be built there when it hits the market around 2017. Plus, the plant will also get a $245-million upgrade and 300 new jobs for another, unannounced vehicle.
