r1lark Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 I'll take a shot. I remember that '87 was the first year for the LSC, and seems like Avanti was still using the Monte Carlo frame in '87...................so I'll say #1 stretched Monte Carlo frame. (running for cover in case I'm wrong ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studegary Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 The "regular" Avanti coupes were using a Monte Carlo chassis for 1987 when the first LSCs were built. The LSC was nine inches longer than a coupe. For 1987 models, I believe that this was done by stretching a Monte Carlo chassis, as Paul said. For the 1988 model year, I believe that the LSC went to a Caprice chassis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 The Monte Carlo had to be shortened for regular Avanti's so I'd guess that the LSC used a stock Monte frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry no, a stock Monte Carlo frame wasn't used for this model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studegary Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 A few 1987s were built on an El Camino chassis, so this may be what you are looking for, even though I do not believe that all of the LSCs were on El Caminos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's it! In 1987, the Avanti LSC utilized a Chevy El Camino frame.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
