Vehicle Description
Rarely are time capsules this cool. A 1977 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
all dressed in black and silver already has modern appeal. Plus,
when you get to cruise this V8 coupe in A/C comfort, you'll realize
that this is far more than just a low-mileage and affordable
classic car.
This premium Monte Carlo just screams survivor from every angle
that we investigate. It starts with the factory-correct black that
we believe could be original on this one. The slick presentation
does a great job of highlighting the long hood with curvaceous
fenders, the sporty dipping line in the profile, and the angular
rear end. And we bet the reason why the sheetmetal still looks this
good today is because this one is believed to have averaged less
than 730 miles over its lifetime. Plus, we know you love the
details, like how the silver pinstripe matches the half vinyl roof.
And the '70s was still a time for brightwork, so the chrome
bumpers, full rocker trim, exclusive grille, and Monte Carlo hood
ornament all continue to shine like mirrors. The finishing touch
are those retro-cool turbine-style factory wheel covers.
The black interior is a great modern color that coordinates nicely
with the exterior. The dual cloth benches don't have even a button
missing from these original pattern seats. They seat up to six in
total luxury, especially since the air conditioner was upgraded to
R134a to keep it blowing ice-cold into modern times. The complete
and pristine condition of the black dash, door panels, and even the
carpeting makes this feel like a time machine. The driver gets a
burled walnut simulated wood panel on the steering wheel, and that
is repeated across the entire dash. While that adds to the Monte
Carlo's upscale credentials, the round gauge package gives this a
premium performance feeling, too.
Under the hood is a 305 cubic-inch V8. It has all the correct
components, so it's hard not to believe this is anything but
factory. And because this coupe has been taken care of quite well
over its low-mileage lifetime, this V8 fires up easily and run very
nicely. Chevy's famous small block has all the right torque to move
this Monte with ease, and the three-speed automatic transmission
shifts like a premium coupe should. This is Chevrolet's personal
luxury statement, so you get great driving features such as power
steering and front disc brakes.
Complete with owner's manual, take some time to look over the
details of this Monte Carlo. You'll see a well cared for classic
coupe that's looking for a new owner who understands that its
affordability is really an invitation to be the new custodian of
its history. Call today!!!
