this car.
Seven Hills Motorcars is very proud to offer this stunning 1972
Chevrolet Monte Carlo in Great Driver condition with 84,975 Miles.
This Monte Carlo looks fantastic, it runs great, and drives
awesome. The car is finished in the beautiful color combination of
Golden Brown (57) exterior over Covert Vinyl (734) interior. This
is the correct and original color scheme verified by the codes on
the trim tag pictured in this ad. This is an excellent opportunity
to own an exceptional Monte Carlo that is ready to be used and
enjoyed at an unbeatable value.
The 1972 model year is desirable and sought after from the
first-generation Monte Carlos. One could easily buy this car now
and sell it for more than the purchase price in years to come as
these A-Body's are appreciating fast and the market on them is very
hot right now, especially for such nice examples like this car.
As a side note, this Monte Carlo is not a dealer auction vehicle.
We hand pick each car after careful inspection. Our classics come
from owners who expect their cars to go to someone that will give
the vehicle the same care and attention as they did. We invite and
encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car
inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture. We
photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel
confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the
Chevrolet, just give us a call.
Exterior
The Golden Brown (57) exterior is in nice driver condition. As one
can see in the photos, the paint has a good gloss, deep shine, and
smooth finish. Both doors open and shut well and feel great when
you close them. The Crager wheels are in excellent condition with a
brilliant finish and no curb rash. The mastercraft white letter
tires are in great shape with plenty of tread left. There are no
major imperfections that have been intentionally excluded from the
photos. The chrome and other bright-work on the car looks good
overall, the front end does show some age. There are some very tiny
blemishes that were too small to show up in the pictures, but
nothing that is really noticeable from about five or ten feet away.
There is some bubbling under the sides of the vinyl top, and some
bubbling in the paint here and there. Overall the car looks/sounds
solid with no major rust throughout. We have included many photos
of the underside of the car and photos of the areas most prone to
rust to show how it looks.
The Monte Carlo looks just as good in person as it does in the
photos.
Interior
The Covert Vinyl (734) interior of the Monte Carlo is in survivor
condition. The gauge faces are clean and crisp and the gauge lenses
are clear. The brown dash has been swapped for a black one, and an
SS tachometer has been added to replace the clock. The carpet has
also been changed from brown to black and looks brand new. The
seats seem to be original and have some discoloration, but no
holes/tears/excessive wear. The door panels are in great condition
with no cracks or splits and the door pulls are solid and intact.
The dash looks great with no splits, sun fading, or cracks.
The interior looks just as good in person as it does in the
photos.
Mechanical
This Monte Carlo is in great mechanical condition and it is ready
to be enjoyed. The 350ci V8 engine starts right away every time,
runs well, and idles smoothly. This Monte Carlo is an exceptional
driver that feels great on the road and at highway speeds. In the
video below one can observe the car accelerating on the highway up
to about 70mph, shifting through all the gears, braking to
stoplight, and going through some curves. Please note that there
are no strange noises or vibrations and the car performs quite well
overall. The brakes are responsive and do not pull to one side or
the other. The transmission shifts smoothly throughout the power
band. The car runs cool and does not overheat. This Monte Carlo has
plenty of power. The Carburetor could most likely use some
adjustment as the car appears to run rich at idle. Also, the engine
compartment is beautifully clean and highly detailed as one can see
in the photos.
This classic Chevy is ready to be driven and enjoyed. The horn
works as do all the exterior lights, interior lights, indicators,
and wipers. The only exception is the reverse lights. The blower
for the heater and a/c works on all speeds. All of the gauges work,
along with the added oil pressure/water temp gauge. The car has a
very healthy exhaust note as one can hear in the video. Not enough
can be said as to how much of a pleasure it is to drive this
car.
This Monte Carlo runs and drives as well as it looks.
Overall Condition
Overall, this 1972 Monte Carlo is in great driver condition. Good
examples of the first-generation Monte Carlos are hard to find and
draw a huge premium in the current market. Although this Monte
isn't perfect, it is an amazing cruiser that looks fantastic going
down the road. One could easily bring this car to another level
with some minor TLC. This Monte Carlo always gets a ton of
attention driving down the road. It is very apparent that the
vehicle has been well taken care of by its previous owners. The
prices of first-generation Monte Carlos have increased dramatically
over the past years. They are secure and wise investments for a
collector. One could easily enjoy this vehicle for several years
and sell it for more than the purchase price with minimal
effort.
Thank you for looking and please do not hesitate to email or call
with any questions.
