Vehicle Description
This 1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo is at the intersection of vintage
luxury and vintage muscle. After all, it's Chevy's personal
cruiser, and it's an all-black hardtop with numbers-matching big
block power.
The Monte Carlo was out to be a premium bow tie from day one, and
so the first generation really established that reputation. The
long hood, formal roofline, and well-done ornamentation are what
made this great when new. Today that style continues with a
sharp-looking coupe complete in black and chrome. Nice body lines,
good glass, and full trim keep this looking like a well-respected
classic. Plus, there's always something special about an American
car built before the bumper laws. It means these chrome kings
really get to hug the car's form, and the rear especially shows off
what the designers can do when they are allowed to dream big. And
while there's an elegance to this coupe, the Rally wheels remind us
there's some power in there, too.
The black interior gives this one the full midnight presentation
inside and out. It's a well-respected look, and that's why you
won't find a button missing from the seatbacks or matching door
panels. This one was done with comfortable cruising in mind, and so
you have premium walnut-like trim, an upgraded AM/FM/cassette
stereo, and provisions for factory air conditioning (will need
servicing to blow cold again.) So it's the kind of car where it's
easy to take along family and friends. But you don't need any of
them to enjoy this Monte Carlo. Front bucket seats, a center
console in-between, Chevy's horseshoe shifter, and large round
gauge package all make this a driver's machine.
Under the hood is the numbers-matching 402 cubic-inch V8. It's easy
to tell people it's the original motor, because it has the classic
presentation where the bold Chevy orange is radiating from within
the dark engine bay. It fires up readily as the big block inhales
deeply with a four-barrel carburetor. The full dual exhaust system
gives it a proper V8 rumble that also doesn't betray the car's
premium nature. The TH400 three-speed transmission is a similar
situation where it's stout enough for big block duty while also
giving you easy automatic shifting comfort. Add in power steering,
power front disc brakes, and wide Cooper Cobra tires, and this is a
great classic for the road.
The premium feel of power, that's what this classic Monte Carlo has
to offer. It's an irresistible sensation, so don't miss this
all-black coupe. Call today!!!
