Every so often, a car comes along that blends NASCAR-era design, street performance, and unmistakable ’80s attitude into one unmistakable package. This 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe checks all of those boxes—and it’s listed here on eBay with no reserve, giving enthusiasts a real shot at a highly recognizable piece of Chevrolet performance history.

This Aerocoupe is finished in gray over a matching gray interior and is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 paired with an automatic transmission, sending power to the rear wheels. The seller states that the car runs and drives well, making it an important distinction from the many Aerocoupes that surface strictly as non-running shells. It carries a clean title and is being offered as a project with real potential rather than a finished showpiece.

The SS Aerocoupe was built as a response to NASCAR’s evolving aerodynamic demands in the late 1980s, and its sloped rear glass immediately sets it apart from the standard Monte Carlo SS. That rear-window design wasn’t just for looks—it was all about reducing drag at high speeds. Today, it’s the key styling feature that makes these cars instantly recognizable and far more collectible than their flat-back counterparts.

This example is described as having a solid frame, which is a major plus for anyone considering structural restoration or performance upgrades. However, the seller is upfront in saying the floors will need attention, making this a true hands-on project for someone ready to take the next step. That honesty is refreshing and gives buyers a clear picture of what lies ahead without sugarcoating the work involved.

Power comes from the factory-style 305 cubic-inch V8, and with the automatic transmission in place, this Aerocoupe stays true to the original street-driven personality that made these cars so popular when new. It’s not just a static collectible—it’s a car that still moves under its own power.

With just over 12,000 miles showing, it’s best to treat the mileage as unverified given the age and the project nature, but it still adds another layer of intrigue to the overall presentation. What matters most here is the foundation: a real 1987 SS Aerocoupe with a solid chassis, running drivetrain, and a clean title.

Cars like this walk a fine line between preservation and personalization. Some buyers will see this as a chance to return an Aerocoupe to factory-correct condition. Others may view it as the perfect platform for a modernized street machine. Either way, the rare body style and unmistakable NASCAR roots make that decision a fun one to wrestle with.

With no reserve, this Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe is guaranteed to find a new home when the auction ends—it’s just a matter of who’s ready to take on the challenge. Would you restore it stock, or build it into the ’80s muscle street car it always wanted to be?
