For Sale: 1973 Chevrolet Monte Carlo in Phoenix, Arizona

Vehicle Description

Another Crawdaddy Classic! Original, beautifully restored, virtually rust free, 74k miles. Numbers matching 350, 4 bbl, dual exhaust. 2.73 rear end for smooth highway cruising. VIN confirms manufacture in Fremont, CA.

 

Documented History

- Per build sheet, car delivered from GM Fremont plant to Ron Tonkin Chevrolet, Portland, OR

Mechanical

- Long list of mechanical restoration items totaling over $6000, mostly done in 2014

- In addition, AC converted to R134

- New dual exhaust, shocks, brakes, and some suspension components

- Not sure of modification details, but the numbers matching motor seems enhanced beyond its stock 175 hp. I have owned other 73 MC's, but this car has a torque and power feel similar to my '68 Buick Riviera. Long strong pull through 2nd gear that pushes you back in your seat. Rockets forward in 3rd gear.
