A friend of mine had one of these '87 Aerocoupes. The 305 might be gutless by today's standards, but back in the late 80's his Monte Carlo could keep up with or pass almost anything else we ran across. Cars in the 80's were ALL gutless, so that wimpy 305 was a real killer back then. It's nice to see one of these classic beauties given the love it deserves.

@aaronmccall3849 Жыл бұрын

People seem to forget that a standard car in those days had maybe 120 hp. So yes, 180hp was a nice bump in performance in those days. These Montes are excellent platforms to build into beasts with the full frame, rear wheel drive and large engine compartment.

This car brings back memories of when I was 18 and worked for a small buy here pay here dealership and in the showroom was an 87 Monte SS with a fully built and stroked high compression 572 running on Turbo Blue and the chassis only had 149 miles on it...yes, 149 miles. It was all black with red striping and accents. It had a line lock and a manual valve body on the built 700R4. Beautiful car. He also had a 65 Chevy C10 with the same engine and drivetrain in it.

@keithbrettell2058 5 жыл бұрын

While I agree that the factory wheels look great, the tires and wheels(they look to be 17 inch wheels) they chose for the car could have been a lot worse i.e. 22's with ultra low profile tires and the car sitting 'on the ground'.

What's nice is that the aftermarket made "Pontiac Rallye" styled rims in modern sizes, but like everyone else, I think the "i'm-A-80's-Chevy" rims look sweet, it's really too bad. ........... on another note "Unckle Festers World of Shitery" user name is f'n great!

Honestly, a 5.3 LS with aftermarket heads, a cam, long tubes, an aftermarket intake manifold, full true 3" duals, some Flowmaster Super 40s, a Tremec Magnum 6 speed manual, and that would be plenty of power for that chassis to make it a fun driver. HOWEVER, it would be even better with either a LSA or a LT4 swap... 😉
