"Cruisin Classics is proud to present to you this incredibly low-mileage 1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS. This Monte Carlo comes to us today with a mere 4,695 actual miles on the odometer - backed up by the title and CarFax! 1988 was the last year of 4th generation Monte Carlo production and only 16,204 SS's were made that year. This car is a true unmolested survivor that still wears its original coat of black factory paint and it looks simply fantastic. The deep slick paint is accented by an SS graphics package that includes a series of red decal stripes that encircle the car at knee height and ""SS Monte Carlo"" decals at the front of both doors and on the trunk lid � all in flawless condition. The front end features a single piece of molded plastic that serves as a front bumper cover, grille, and a bezel for the quad headlights. Looking down the perfectly straight sides of the car you'll see that, aside from the decals, it sports a bit of a murdered-out look with black window trim, body-color door handles, and dual black sport mirrors. A fixed rear quarter window keeps your eye moving toward the rear where you'll find a ""lay-down"" spoiler attached to the trunk lid, another plastic bumper cover, clear vertical taillights with Monte Carlo shield emblems, and a hidden gas fill behind the license plate. This whole gorgeous package is perfectly complemented by a set of original 15"" factory 5-spoke alloy wheels in silver and grey, all shod in Goodyear Eagle GT+4 white-letter tires.
Under the hood is a very clean and completely bone-stock engine bay that is home to a 5.0 liter 305ci V-8 (factory rated at 180hp). The engine is topped off with stock heads, black valve covers, a 4-barrel Rochester Quadrajet carburetor, and a black air cleaner. Other items of note under the hood include power steering, power brakes (front discs, rear drums), and R-12 air conditioning. The V-8 is mated up to a 200R4 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission that sends power to the rear via a 10-bolt axle with 3.73:1 gears. The SS handling is an improvement over the base Monte Carlo thanks to the F-41 Sport Suspension package that includes heavy-duty springs and larger front and rear anti-roll bars. Exhaust travels from cast manifolds through dual mufflers and exits out dual tailpipes at the rear.
Open the driver's door and take a step back in time to 1988! The maroon OEM interior is in immaculate condition with no visible wear � it really looks like a showroom-new car! The door panels are a mix of velour, vinyl, and carpet with bright trim, a handle pull, and a driver's mirror toggle. A bright sill plate leads to a maroon factory carpet that welcomes you inside. Up front are maroon crushed velvet bolstered bucket seats with vinyl bases, sides, and backs while in the rear is a matching bench. Between the seats is a console with an armrest/storage box and the shifter for the transmission. Ahead is a crack-free maroon dash with black gauge & instrument bezels accented with a red stripe (to mimic the outside theme). The gauge cluster (speedo, tach, fuel, temp, oil, volts) is stock from the factory and everything works as it should. Beneath the gauges, you'll find controls for lights to the left and a switch for a rear defogger to the right. Low in the center of the dash is a pod that contains the climate controls and stereo. The HVAC controls are easy to use and provide cold A/C and hot heat on demand with a strong fan. The stereo is a factory Delco AM/FM/Cassette unit that sounds great through factory speakers. The driver is treated to a 2-spoke black faux leather-wrapped SS steering wheel with a working horn on a fixed column. Also on the column is a stalk with controls for the 2-speed wipers and cruise control. Ahead of the passenger is a glovebox that contains the original owner's manual, warranty booklet, stereo instructions, and the original bill of lading from when the car was delivered new to Byer's Chevrolet in Columbus Ohio. A quick look overhead reveals a tight maroon felt headliner and a working dome light. Back in the trunk, you'll find a carpeted mat, a set of carpeted floormats, and a temporary factory spare with a jack.
Whether you're a collector or just an enthusiast, this '88 Monte Carlo SS is sure to grab your attention! Finding a Monte with such low miles, in arguably the best color combination, and in such good condition is definitely not something that happens often � if ever! If you're looking for a fourth-gen Monte SS you'll be hard-pressed to find one nicer �so give us a call today and make this classic your own!

Here at Cruisin Classics, we understand that you have many options when choosing where you purchase your classic, muscle or collector car and we would like to thank you for considering us.
Cruisin Classics has been buying and selling cars for many years.. The majority were your average daily drivers but our passion has always been in muscle cars and hot rods so in 1996, Cruisin Classics built a 56,000 sq.ft. showroom located in Columbus, OH that they still operate out of today. All of our vehicles are hand-picked and selected to ensure they fit our inventory. This facility is now arguably one of the best-stocked collections for sale in the US housing hundreds of unique automobiles all under one roof. We invite you to our facility! There is something for everybody when you come to visit.
After years of serving as central Ohio's premiere classic car dealer at Cruisin Classics Auto Sales, we saw an unfulfilled need that was not being met for our clients. We loved helping match our clients with the classic and American muscle cars of their dreams. But what about after the purchase? We recognized that our clients needed a trusted resource to continue to care for their classic vehicles. It did not sit well with us that our valued clients and their incredible vehicles were being outsourced to, sometimes several, third-party resources for maintenance and performance needs. We also wanted to help the many people that we had met over the years who already owned classic vehicles which were in need of restoration, upgrades, and maintenance. Too often, we were seeing vehicles with so much potential left sitting in garages under covers because their owners did not know who to turn to for such specialized work. It is our goal to offer our clients a truly comprehensive, seamless, and enjoyable classic car ownership experience, from purchase to maintenance to storage. Thus, Cruisin Classics Performance Center was born. We have cherry-picked the most talented, experienced, and passionate team of technicians to offer our clients a true one-stop-shop solution for any and all of their classic car needs. Our honest business model has lasted almost 25 years to date and Cruisin Classics has a worldwide reputation as one of the best in the business.
Outside of the shop, this business has afforded us the opportunity to be actively involved in our community and fulfill our goal of supporting several local and national organizations that hold a special place in our hearts. We are proud sponsors of the Kiwanis Club of Columbus, the Columbus USO, Honor Flight, Special Olympics, multiple car clubs, and much more.
In conclusion, 100% customer satisfaction is our main goal. Always has been.. always will be. We would like to invite anyone considering one of our vehicles to come to our beautiful facility to inspect the car in person or send somebody on your behalf.
