Owning one
An estimate, for the Base · 3-spd auto · 3.8L trim: fuel on its EPA figure and a dated national price, upkeep on a per-mile average for the kind of car it is.

Photographs
This generation's aggressive aero look came straight off the track — Chevy's stylists borrowed the ducktail spoiler and styling from NASCAR, based on the 1997 "Intimidator" concept car.
In LS trim, this Monte Carlo was the last mass-produced six-passenger two-door car sold in America — a front bench seat in a coupe, right at the end of that era.
Only 200 of this generation's Aerocoupe were built in 1986 — exactly the number NASCAR required before the shape could race.
GM's 1978 downsizing hit the Monte Carlo hard, in a good way: 700-800 lb lighter and 15 inches shorter than the 1977 model, yet it actually gained interior and trunk space.
For one strange year, this 'mid-size' Monte Carlo was bigger in every dimension than Chevy's own full-size Caprice and Impala — the only time that's happened in Chevrolet's history.
The Monte Carlo's faux-wood dash trim wasn't generic — Chevrolet's chief stylist had it made as a photographic reproduction of the actual elm trim used inside Rolls-Royces.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
The Celica XX, Japan's name for the A60 Supra, introduced the world's first in-car navigation computer.
The CTR Anniversary looks like a 911 but Ruf built its carbon monocoque from scratch, no Porsche body underneath.
The 228's coupe styling hides a sedan underneath: Maserati stretched it onto the longer four-door Biturbo chassis to make room for its biggest V6, which is literally where the name comes from — 2-door, 2.8 litre.
Switching to fuel injection let this V8 finally shed its trademark bonnet bulge — and only 405 of these flat-hooded Series 5 cars were built before the whole model retired in 1989.
Japanese buyers got a secret weapon in their MX-6 — the JDM-only KL-ZE V6 made about 40 more horsepower than the engine sold in the exact same car in North America.
An American tuner, Callaway Cars, built twin-turbo conversions of the GTV6 that boosted its V6 by fifty percent to 230 hp — turning Alfa's grand tourer into something far quicker than the factory ever intended.
