1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
Car History
We use the term "like a time capsule" sparingly here at Adventure
Classics, but this 1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo we have here
justifies using that term. It truly does look just like it did the
day it left the factory and still has the original engine and trans
verified by the engine stamp is on the front stamp pad.
The styling was so special for the 1970 Monte Carlo as it was
distinguished by its chromed rectangular grille with two horizontal
dividers, a centered chrome and red crest emblem adorned by a
Corinthian helmet, a thin hood spear with no vertical hood
ornament, round headlamps with rounded chrome bezels, circular
parking lamps inset into the front bumper directly below the
headlamps, and taillights with chrome trim around the perimeter of
the lens, only.
Engine & Drivetrain
The powertrain we have in our Monte Carlo is the original numbers
matching base 350 cu in (5.7 L) Chevrolet "Turbo-Fire" small-block
V8 with a four-barrel carburetor rated at 300 horse, and it sits in
a very well detailed engine compartment with what appears to be
most if not all the original parts from the black air cleaner
assembly down to the oil pan!
It is mated to a column mounted 3-speed Turbo 350 automatic
transmission and has front disc brakes that were standard equipment
and options include Variable-ratio power steering, bench seats,
"Rally" wheels with Road Hugger Radial GT white letter tires.
If you look at the pictures underneath, you will see it is as clean
as the top with its dual exhaust, 10-bolt rear end, shocks, and
suspension all clean and super looking.
Interior
The interior of our beauty matches the exterior with the superb
green vinyl front bench seat and matching rear seat, door panels,
Radio System, full instrumentation, wood grain trim, green seat
belts, carpeting and floor mats, and other accessories.
The as new trunk carries what appears to be its original grey
Chevrolet factory tire mat, jack, factory looking decals and a
spare tire.
Exterior
Our beautiful monte Carlo is finished in the #48 Forest Green pint
that it was born with (according to the Trim Tag) that looks
awesome with great bodywork that has a great shine with chrome that
is very good, the stainless has been well maintained, as well as
the bumpers and the G-Code green vinyl roof that is a match to the
paint.
Conclusion
The 1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo we have here at Adventure Classics
has the great look of that era that neatly blends performance and
luxury in a muscular package, just as Chevrolet advertised back in
that year.
This is such a great example of a 1970 Monte Carlo that would be
very hard to duplicate anywhere in the country and will serve you
well in your collection.
