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!!!

Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.

Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum

Fri, 02 May 2014

Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.

Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.
