This 1986 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS is the definition of a "loved" car. Originally sold at Sawyer Chevrolet in East Lansing, MI, this G-Body classic has been meticulously preserved by an owner who treated maintenance as a craft. With 137,623 fully documented original miles, this isn't just a car; it’s a time capsule accompanied by a mountain of history, including the original warranty booklet and a handwritten service interval log detailing its life on the road.
The Factory Build (RPO Decoded)
This is a true-born Super Sport, confirmed by the Z15 RPO code on the original Service Parts Identification sticker. It was ordered with the most desirable performance trifecta available in 1986:
L69 5.0L High Output V8: The top-tier 305ci engine with a factory 4-barrel carb.
GT4 3.73 Rear Axle: Paired with the G80 Limited Slip (Positraction) for serious off-the-line punch.
F41 Suspension: Providing the firm, flat, and predictable handling these SS models are famous for.
Exterior
Finished in 12U Silver with its original upper-body striping, this Monte Carlo presents as an honest, well-kept survivor. The car was Ziebart undercoated early in its life, which has done a fantastic job preserving the structural integrity of the underside. While the Carfax is clean, we believe in full transparency: there is some prior rust repair/paintwork visible below the lower stripe, along with minor bubbling and scaling typical of unrestored G-Bodies. Overall, it retains a high-quality "survivor" curb appeal that is hard to replicate.
Interior
The Medium Dark Gray (82D) cloth interior is in top-tier condition—impressively clean and free of smells, stains, or significant wear. It features the comfortable AM6 split-bench seat and tilt steering. Best of all, it is equipped with the highly coveted CC1 glass T-Tops, which come complete with their original storage bags. It is a quiet, comfortable cabin that reflects the care of its previous long-term ownership.
Underhood & Underbody
Mechanically, this Monte Carlo is dialed in. The L69 HO V8 starts up quiet and smoke-free, while the MX0 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission makes it a fantastic highway cruiser. Underneath, the Ziebart coating has kept the frame and floors in solid condition. Please note: the AC is currently non-functional, but the rest of the electrical and mechanical systems remain robust. The car comes with over 75 service receipts totaling thousands of dollars, proving that no expense was spared in its upkeep.
Driving
This SS drives exactly as a documented survivor should—tight, responsive, and confident. The brake pedal is firm, the steering is true, and the car shifts through the gears flawlessly. It is a rare pleasure to drive a G-Body that hasn't been abused or modified beyond recognition; it feels "sorted" in a way only a well-maintained original can.
Conclusion
This is a rare opportunity to own a documented piece of Chevy history. Between the verified L69/GT4/G80 performance specs, the factory T-Tops, and the incredible paper trail, this Monte Carlo SS is ready for its next caretaker. It’s an honest, investment-grade driver that stands out in a sea of modified examples. Please note: We only have what is seen in the photos and video; we encourage you to review the service history and condition shots to appreciate the level of care this car has received.
