21K-Mile 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS Aero CoupeNO RESERVE
Overview
Description
There are Low Miles No Miles cars…and then there are the homologation specials that NASCAR fans instantly recognize. This 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS Aero Coupe falls firmly into that category, showing just 20,997 miles and standing as a remarkably preserved example of one of Chevrolet's most iconic performance coupes of the 1980s.
Vehicle Overview
Finished in Burgundy over a matching Burgundy interior, this 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS Aero Coupe is powered by its original 5.0L V8 paired with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The odometer currently shows just 20,997 miles, and the car remains 100% stock and original throughout.
What separates the Aero Coupe from a standard Monte Carlo SS is the distinctive sloped rear glass and aerodynamic rear deck design developed to improve Chevrolet's competitiveness in NASCAR competition. Today, the Aero Coupe remains one of the most recognizable and sought-after G-body variants ever produced.
This example retains its original paint, original drivetrain, and factory presentation throughout.
Story
According to the seller, this Aero Coupe was purchased from a dealer who acquired it from the estate of its original owner. The car was originally sold new in Pennsylvania and reportedly spent its life carefully stored and preserved.
The original owner was a passionate NASCAR fan and devoted Dale Earnhardt supporter. Included with the sale is extensive documentation, photographs, Chevrolet dealer literature, magazine advertisements, die-cast collectibles, NASCAR Aero Coupe memorabilia, both sets of original keys with dealer key fobs, and a custom-fit car cover.
The current owner has added approximately 20 miles during ownership, continuing the trend of limited use and preservation.
Condition
As expected for a low-mile example, the car presents exceptionally well throughout. The exterior retains its original paint with no reported history of bodywork, while the Burgundy interior remains highly preserved and reflective of the vehicle's careful ownership history.
The vehicle is reported to be rust-free with no known mechanical issues. Partial service records accompany the car, and the oil was most recently changed last fall.
The undercarriage is remarkably well preserved, retaining its factory rustproofing, original exhaust system, and original driveshaft markings. The clean, rust-free condition is evident throughout and documented extensively in the gallery photos.
Overall, this is a highly original Aero Coupe that combines low mileage, extensive documentation, and a unique ownership story.

Letter From The LMNM Team
The Aero Coupe is one of those cars that car people immediately understand.
To most people, it's just a Monte Carlo SS.
To enthusiasts, it's the Monte Carlo SS.
The sloped rear glass, the NASCAR connection, the limited production—these cars represent one of the coolest chapters of GM's performance history during the 1980s.
What really grabbed us about this one wasn't just the mileage. It was the story.
The original owner clearly loved this car. The documentation, the memorabilia, the dealer literature, the Earnhardt connection—it's all the kind of stuff that rarely stays with a vehicle after nearly four decades.
And then there's the color combination.
Burgundy over Burgundy feels perfectly period-correct and gives the car a look you simply don't see anymore. This isn't just a clean Aero Coupe. It's the kind of preserved, documented example that reminds you why these cars became collectible in the first place.
