Wanted to buy Monte Carlo SS

**SS427** · #1 07-31-2023, 04:41 PM

Looking to buy an 1987 or 88 Monte Carlo SS only. I have looked at a ton of cars but most are just mediocre drivers. I would prefer unmodified, Maroon with either Maroon or Silver interior, fully optioned, original paint, low mileage and mint condition, paperwork, bucket seats are a must. T-tops a plus. Really unsure about an Aero Coupe but would consider it if all the other boxes were checked. Original owner or low numbers owner and private sale preferred. Must also be very low mileage. Must have the "G" in the 8th digit of the VIN. I will consider other colors but Maroon is my 1st choice, Silver with Maroon interior is my 2nd choice. I located a black one in MN but just can't make myself go for black and am not interested in white. I got lucky with my Lumina Z34 and would like to find a similar stable mate. I have cash in hand. Photo for example only.

I've run across several in that color combo, I've been trying to find a black and tan one for a coupled of years. If I find another one I'll let you know. I have an LS swapped original paint car in Maroon currently.

I know of one that I have been dealing with for over a year but currently he will not cut it loose. I am not a real big fan of black so if I have not located a Maroon one by the time he decides to sell I may buy it. If not I will certainly consider passing it along to you. It is everything I am looking for other than the color.

I have gotten some great leads thanks to some sYc members as well as from others but haven't been able to lock one up. Missed an ELEVEN mile car by only months and for cheap. Timing is everything.
