Vehicle Description
Serious performance and grand touring luxury were the hallmarks of
the best Chevrolet Monte Carlos. And this classic 1972 example only
amplifies those attitudes with everything from a big block
performance V8, to slick red paint, to a comfy custom interior.
This coupe is an upgrade from the original, so you want a paint
that let's everyone know that. That's why we love this slick red
paint. The modern clear coat does a great job of highlighting the
crisp lines that are the hallmark of Chevy's personal luxury
machine. But there's also an electric-like quality in this
high-gloss application that gives this car a radiant personality.
Competing with the paint for shine is the mirror-like polish on
areas like the form-fitting chrome bumpers and full trim. Uniting
the ideas of shine, premium, and modern aggression are the large
18-inch Intro five-spoke alloys.
More performance and luxury continues inside. The interior follows
the factory's premium button-top pattern, but now it has been
restored for a custom two-tone. It combines the aggressive red of
the exterior and expertly blends it with a muscle car-like black.
In fact, the full round gauge panel and iconic horseshoe shifter
will make you feel like you're in a Super Sport Chevy. While this
is truly a driver's machine, it also has the space to share with
family and friends. That's why this classic also accommodates with
everything from new provisions for air conditioning to a modern
AM/FM/CD stereo with subwoofer.
The moment you open the hood, you instantly realize that this Monte
Carlo earns all of its aggressive upgrades. Sure, a few lucky ones
had the big 454 V8 in '72, but even those weren't as big as this.
Within the dark and tidy engine bay, you'll see a 502 cubic-inch
Chevrolet crate motor. It has been built correctly, including a
four-barrel carburetor, GM Performance heads, and long tube headers
that feed a growling H-pipe dual exhaust. Not only is this a big
power machine, but it also has all the right supporting components,
including March pulleys, steel-braided hoses, and a large aluminum
radiator. Plus, the TH400 three-speed automatic transmission is
stout enough to get all this muscle to the pavement. And as you
look at the undercarriage photos, you'll see a clean and fresh
presentation that comes from in a classic that has only been driven
about 5,000 miles since its restoration. And with upgrades like
Baer four-wheel disc brakes and modern Nitto ZR-rated tires, you'll
be firmly in control to add plenty more miles to the odometer.
You can tell there has been a ton of time, thought, and money
invested in restoring this unique Chevy. So when you can get your
hands on a classic that's equal parts vintage luxury and muscle
car, you know you have to hurry on something this special. Call
