NASCAR reached its peak popularity in the late 1990s and early2000s. Chevrolet capitalized on the “win on Sunday, sale on Monday” axiom to create the Monte Carlo SS Dale Earnhardt Signature Series. The styling inspiration was taken from the race car. This one is for sale at Classic Cars and Earnhardt autographs underneath the trunk lid.
The passenger-side dashboard of the 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS features the signatures Dale Earnhardt Jr. The trunk contains the autographs of Richard Childress, the team owner, Kirk Shelmerdine, the crew chief Andy Petree, the crew chiefs Andy Petree and Chocolate Myers. Danny Lawrence was an engine tuner as well as a pit crew member. Childress also signed an engine cover.
The Monte Carlo SS has 29,923 miles. It’s all original, with the exception of a new battery. The car is identified by the included certificate of authenticity as being the 1,935th example of the 3,333-unit production run.
When he purchased the Monte Carlo SS, he was a Chevrolet dealer employee and accumulated a binder of documentation. There are items that an average buyer would not have access to. Two window stickers, a certificate d’authenticity, the customer letter and build sheet, trunk sheets, parts content stickers, as well as all documentation for the assembly plant are included.
The 2002 Monte Carlo SS was not a very powerful car, even by 2000 standards. The supercharged 3.8-liter V6 produces 200 (149 kilowatts), and 225 poundfeet (305 Newton meters) of torque. A four-speed automatic transmission was the only option, sending power to the front wheels.
The powerplant was upgraded to make 240 hp (179.kW) and 280 lb-ft (383 Nm) in later years of the Monte Carlo SS generation. Chevy offered a transverse-mounted, 5.3-liter V8 with 303 horsepower (226 kW), and 323 lbft (438Nm) for the 2006 and 2007.
This 2002 Monte Carlo SS Dale Earnhardt Signature Series can be purchased in Apex, North Carolina. The seller wants $21,833.
