sorry to hear about that, but you will love the gtp when you start to mod

Hope I'm not breaking any rules with the picture sizes.

Car is a 1987 SS t-top. Crate 350 with 305 heads, edelbrock performer intake, eddy 1406 carb with tune kit, ramcharger electric fans, optima battery, dynomax full length ceramic headers into true duals, Pypes X-pipes with race pro mufflers, MSD HEI ignition, KYB shocks, Hotchkis Lowering springs front, varaible rate springs rear, slotted rotors, hawk ceramic pads built th2004r with B&M lockup kit and torque converter, no emmisions, cats, or computer. Stock open rear though. 200k on body. She also has ice cold air.

First car, bought her stock, bottom picture. Exhaust falling off, bees living in bumper, lockup unplugged, lol. Planning a frame off or looking for a clean roller.

so sick I wish I had the money to buy and restore a monte carlo ss they are so bad ass. Have you ever taken it to the track?

[E90 87SS GTP]

No, not yet. The rear is 7.625in open rear. So I basically spin down the track with one wheel. Hopefully I put an 8.5 rear and new driveshaft. Not sure how the heads will do at high rpms either (run out of breath). I would like to do an LS2/T56 eventually. Maybe twin turbo build. But that is a lot $ and time from now. So many possibilities, but I want this to be a pro touring type car built for twisties.

Yeah, I'm on there with the same name if I remember right. i haven't been on there in ages though haha. We have just under 95k on ours. We bought it in the Spring of 04 with just over 91k haha.

[toolguy]

That is a T-top car too, not very many of those! Nice SS!

[ZR1Vette09]

sick Monte Carlo man. What's your priority with cars on here? Everything going to the SS with pocket change to the gtp or what?

[Bio248]

i like g-body monte SS'. they are one of my top 5 favorite cars of all time. ive always wanted one since i was a kid.

[SuperSport]

My dad had a Super Chevy show winning white 83 SS. I live near Detroit so you can probably guess what happened to it.

To the original poster, all your cars are sweet. The 4th gen MCSS is my favorite car ever and always will be. I want an 83 or 84 in the future.

Cool


Yeah, t-top, i love it when it rains, lol... need gaskets...


I think maintenance for now, I'm on my way to pick it up and finish out the paper work monday. 600 mile drive... For now I want to save up for a house or just save, have to put myself through another year of school + law school + living expenses + car payment + insurance +++++... Looking for a roller SS, but will not be spending much money on cars for now.


Thanks for the comments, yup these cars are sure easy to steal, sucks hope they got caught
