In the same year the nation was facing the start of Watergate and
the film premiere of "The Godfather", Chevrolet was producing the
first generation of their personal luxury car the Monte Carlo. This
car was designed to be the best of all worlds with many options and
plenty of performance to move a car of this size down the road.
This one in particular features the largest of three engines,
sporting the 454 CID V8. Despite the downgraded horsepower rating
from 1971, this big block Chevy still was putting out 270
horsepower and was driven through a strong TH400 automatic
transmission. This Monte Carlo is a true survivor with only 36,000
original miles on the numbers matching drive train. The highly
optioned interior is also original and in excellent shape. Slide
inside and you will find yourself surrounded in luxury with cushy
bucket seats, wood-grained dash, and the classic horseshoe style GM
shifter. As you slip it into gear and set off on your cruise, this
low-mileage classic will make you feel like you have stepped back
into time. The ride is smooth and soft as you float across the
surface of road in style. If you decide to stop by and pick up some
friends, you won't have to worry about the back of the car drooping
down with the functioning level control system that was a rare
option and was equipped straight from the factory. This car is one
of the few remaining numbers matching 454 cars and the only one
documented in the registry. After 18 years of ownership the current
owner is ready to part with this beauty, but needs it to go to a
good home! This vehicle is located in our Denver showroom. You can
