1987 Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe...?

Question

A friend's friend is selling his 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe. It's got about 81,000 miles. Modified engine, Flowmaster exhaust, supposed brand new transmission... Not even the paint is stock. He said he's put a lot of time and money into it. Wants $6,000 and won't budge on the price.

Good buy?

Answer 1

1987?

NO.  At current GAS prices, those old engines will drive you to bankruptcy. They run on carburetor instead of fuel injector.  That means that they always run rich (burn excessive fuel) to prevent engine knock.

Also those cars have are all operated by vacuum system (not by the computer).  And less and less mechanics know how to diagnose those engines. Many younger mechanics don't even know how to do a proper tune up on vacuum advanced cars.

I think you should go for more modern car.

Good Luck...
