Vehicle Description
Beautifully restored and number-matching 350 V8 are what makes this
1971 Chevrolet Monte Carlo collectable. But as you look over the
details on this triple-black beauty, not only will you see there
was a ton invested to be showroom fresh, but also the manual
transmission makes this quite a rare luxury classic.
The shiny black paint really emphasizes the Monte Carlo's classic
good looks, particularly the subtle fender curves that are
highlighted when the light hits it just right. And the black vinyl
roof just adds the perfect vintage touch of class. The reason why
the sheetmetal still looks this good today is because this one has
less than 450 miles on it since completing a thorough restoration
of the exterior, interior, suspension, and the V8 under the hood.
Like any great American classic, it also has a ton of brightwork to
make it standout. Competing with the paint for shine meant making
sure there was a mirror-like polish on areas like the wide chrome
bumpers, full rocker trim, and exclusive grille with Monte Carlo
badge. Plus, the iconic Rally wheels are a great finishing touch to
any shiny Chevy package.
More signs of great investment come when you open the door. The
bucket seats have comfortable cloth for where you sit, and not a
single button is out of place. So it matches nicely with the style
of the rear seats and door panels. Plus, all the coordinating black
components - from the center console to the headliner - are all
new. So this one feels exceptionally fresh. Even the trunk has a
time capsule-like appearance, and that's believed to be the
original spare tire! You sit behind the factory wheel, and the
burled walnut on here, the console, and the dashboard gives it an
upscale feel. And everything in the dash is working correctly,
including the heat/defrost sliders and AM/FM radio. But as much as
this looks like a classic luxury machine, the large factory tach
and stick shift are two elements that tell you this goes beyond
just a coddler.
Under the hood is the original 350 cubic-inch V8. It was rebuilt
during the restoration, so it will impress with the amount of shine
and correct bold orange radiating from within the dark engine bay.
With the four-barrel carburetor on top, this one was eligible for a
very rare option. The original Muncie M20 transmission was a
seldom-purchased sports option, and so this means this coupe's
production numbers could possibly be as low as below 300 examples.
So this Monte Carlo offers great originality and some serious
rarity. But more than just a great history, this was restored to be
a very factory-correct driver. Not only was the original four-speed
rebuilt, but also the undercarriage photos will show you they made
the right investments all around the car. Plus, with power steering
and front disc brakes, it will be easy to show off this rare
hardtop everywhere.
The sale comes complete with the factory buildsheet, original
Protect-O-Plate warranty card, owner's manual, and other paperwork.
So this is the full midnight package applied to a very rare luxury
Chevy. Oh yeah, this is something special, and if you hurry, it can
all be yours. Call today!!!
