The specific unit now listed for sale in Bentonville, Arkansas, has an incredibly low mileage of just 7 miles. The car has been owned by one family since purchase and has a clean history. The seller is asking $32,500 for it, which is significantly higher than the $11,200 recently paid for a similar model with 4,300 miles.
“The original price of the car in 2001 was $29,575, equivalent to approximately $52,737 today”
Technically, this Monte Carlo SS is equipped with a 3.8-liter V6 engine producing 200 horsepower, paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Despite modest performance by modern standards, this car is a true collector’s rarity.
Interestingly, the original price of this model in 2001 was comparable to that of a modern Ford Mustang GT. The market value of such collector cars often depends not so much on technical specifications as on historical significance and the condition of the specific unit. In the case of this nearly new Monte Carlo SS Dale Earnhardt Edition, its collector’s value may justify the high price.
