    Up for sale is Granny, as we call her. Its a 1987 Monte Carlo LS in silver with perfect burgundy interior. Does need a headliner. A very low option 4.3 v6 car that we were going to convert into a sleeper. Just having trouble pulling the trigger to do so. No rust, never hit, original paint old lady car. I have a GN rear, a built 400 sbc with a lot of good stuff in it (forged bottom end, canfield heads, roller cam etc) along with a built turbo 400 (needs an sfi bell housing bolted on) that can be sold with the car as a package deal, or do your own buick conversion. Located in NE Ohio. Get it before it goes into storage so you can convert it over the winter. Let me know if you have any questions. Asking $7800 OBO for the car.

    Thanks Gary Kenny, we even had a 5.3 out of a friends avalanche, but the more I look at this car, the more I hate to tear into it it would be perfect for that too since it does not have A/C

    Wow, what a complete oddball, rare, boned out stripper.
    Super cool.
    I had no idea you could get a non AC Monte that late in production. Never seen one.
    No gauges, just speedo and gas gauge, the rest are idiot lights.

    I bet it was cheap, too-probably 12k or so? I’ve seen an ‘85 Camino and an ‘8? Cutlass without air.

    yea I looked a long time to find this one. I think its only like the second or third one ive seen without A/C a really bare bones car . perfect to make a sleeper out of which was my intention. Tilt Wheel and rear defogger are the only real options. and a nice color combo to boot

    I think the split bench was an option (it was on my ‘85 El Camino). What radio does it have? AM was standard and I think you could delete it.

    In my opinion, if an engine swap occurs it should keep up the sanitary stealth vibe. A 383 stroker or healthy ls, painted all black with a mild cam and stock looking air cleaner, maybe keep manifolds, along with a very quiet stock exit exhaust would be the ticket. Even hide the guages somewhere. Or a GN 3.8 swap.
