Vehicle Description
2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS
Dale Earnhardt first earned his nickname "The Intimidator" during
the 1987 All-Star Race in Charlotte, North Carolina during this
famous "Pass in the Grass" moment. This title was extremely fitting
for Earnhardt who became well-known for his aggressive driving that
none could match. Despite many tries, Earnhardt was able to secure
victory at the Daytona 500 only once in his career.
For consignment a Dale Earnhardt signature edition Chevrolet Monte
Carlo with a ground effects package, racing rear spoiler, stainless
exhaust tips, custom interior features and door opening kick
plates. All buttoned up and looking much like the Intimidator's
race car. Do not be intimidated and walk in and have a look at this
tribute car which is looking ..well...intimidating!
Exterior
Black just like the race car of the legendary Intimidator, only
this car is sans stickers. sponsors and numbers, and just clean
deep black. Black integrated front and rear bumpers, a black belt
line trimming, and a racing inspired rear black spoiler. The silver
ground effects package is put on where a bit of lighter flare shows
on the bottom of the car and races all around it. Some signature
edition graphics are on the sides, including the smaller numeral 3
and Earnhardt signature. Way back are stainless steel exhaust tips.
On top, an electric sunroof, and on all 4 corners 16-inch diamond
cut aluminum wheels. Black window surrounds and the menacing
begins!
Interior
Nicely sculpted molded two-tone door panels in light and dark gray
greet us with a swing of the door. Power lock, power window and
power side mirror switches are imbedded within. Slipping inside we
see two tone leather accent seats with black leather bolsters, and
lighter gray perforated and stitched vinyl inserts. Driver's side
features 6-way power adjustments and are even heated. The leather
bolsters have aged nicely, and the backs look nearly unused. In
back is a larger 2 plus 2 bench setup very much like the front but
with a single seat with no break in the middle, just a fold down
armrest. The instrument panel with this car is the signature
edition instrument cluster and is badged RCR and utilizes Dale's
signature in the speedometer. On the floor are custom embroidered
floor mats nearly showroom, and this embroidery also shows up on
the headrests of the buckets. AM/FM/Cassette/CD digital readout
radio is within the dash confines and the interior sports a
6-speaker sound system which has an automatic volume increaser as
road noise increases. A tight black headliner is above.
Drivetrain
A 3.8-liter 200hp rated V6 with SFI is sitting in the clean engine
bay under the hood. On back is a 4-speed automatic transmission
with overdrive. The engine features a heater for the cold weather
easy starts and has been well maintained. Only 12,417 miles have
been clocked on this car since its birth.
Undercarriage
Very clean underneath with absolutely no rust and barely any road
dirt. Electronic traction control has been installed, and
independent coil springs for the front, and independent coil
springs for the back sport tuned suspension. Power disc brakes on
all 4 corners are noted.
Drive-Ability
Low mileage cars are always a pleasure to slip into and this one
was no exception. It fired right up, and the test track proved no
match for it. All functions were working flawlessly, and it
provided a smooth ride with nice smooth acceleration, good handling
and straight braking. She was a little loose in turn 2, and we may
want to take just a half a turn out of the rear suspension as its
tight in the tri oval, but I digress as it was nice to
fantasize!
A low mileage nice clean example, and neat tribute to the man
himself. All good on all fronts, and it really is intimidating to
look at and drive.
