This is the car in which Dale captured his 2nd Stock Car series championship, out of an eventual 7. 1986 was an incredibly successful season for Dale in the '86 #3 Monte Carlo fast back. Five race wins and a second cup championship. Dale dominated the competition, beating his closest competitors, Darrell Waltrip and Tim Richmond by 288 points. As with the 1986, the Bow Tie Chevy logo is smaller and black where the 87 has a Red larger Bow tie. GM Goodwrench had increased its sponsorship, as can be seen by the decal on the deck lid and for this year, they also had a small GM Goodwrench logo on the angle frame, a hold over from the 1985 version. This was the fastback version of the Monte Carlo. Dale would win this Championship by 288 points over contender Darrell Waltrip.
