One man from Arkansas bought a Chevrolet Monte Carlo brand new, but then didn’t touch it for 23 years.

The car is from a limited production run of a car to commemorate someone special.

But, there’s one huge, attractive factor.

The low number of miles that the car has done will surely put any other used Chevy to shame.

Chevrolet is a car brand that makes a varied fleet of cars.

From muscle cars to daily drivers, there are many options for gearheads to choose from.

For example, the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 recently destroyed five lap records in America.

Plus, cops in Florida even traded in their patrol cars in favor of a seized Chevrolet Corvette Stingray.

But one Chevrolet was recently spotted for sale, with unique features and a wholesome past.

This Arkansas-based Chevrolet Monte Carlo was made in honor of Dale Earnhardt, a NASCAR driver who lost his life during a crash, and the car has done a surprisingly low number of miles.

It’s one of only 3,333, and this 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS RCR Dale Earnhardt Edition Coupe has just seven miles on the clock.

Yup, you read that right. Seven miles.

The vehicle was family-owned and came from a private collection, meaning the condition of the car is very impressive.

And, under the hood, things get even more interesting.

“The heart of this coupe is the 3.8-liter, 200HP V6 engine, mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission, sport-tuned 4-wheel independent suspension, power rack and pinion steering, and dual exhaust,” the listing reads.

Outside, the exterior boats ‘striking Earnhardt racing colors of black with silver and red,’ and also has keyless entry, a sunroof, a racing-inspired rear spoiler, and even ebony leather interior with pewter inserts’.

What’s more, it also has the original car manuals too, clearly having been looked after to the highest standard.

The car is on sale through ClassicCarsInc.com for a price of $32,500.

Chevy has created some impressive cars over the years, including a 1976 Cosworth Vega that had 1,000 miles on the clock and never wore a plate.

Would you snap this special, low-mileage Chevy up?
