Vehicle Description
Vintage grand touring luxury and plenty of V8 power are what makes
this 1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo 454 SS tribute so appealing. In
fact, if you love a good classic, this has a great level of detail
to ignite your passion for vintage big block cruising.
Cortez Silver is a terrific factory-correct color on this car. It's
the same that was offered on the Chevelles and Camaros, and it also
sets the tone of precious metal sophistication. And that's exactly
what a Monte Carlo SS is all about. This was updated later in life
to remain smooth and shiny with the right look for a car that you
want to drive with pride. Plus, the taut black vinyl roof furthers
this premium image while also showcasing the pillarless hardtop
profile. It's a formal look that's continued on the well-integrated
chrome bumpers, full rocker trim w/SS callout, and exclusive Monte
Carlo badging. And Rally wheels just seem like the right finishing
touch for a vehicle that wants to be both a muscle car and a true
classic Chevy.
The dual attitude of performance and luxury continues inside. For
example, the black interior is what you want on a muscle car, but
it's also a great coordinating color with the roof. Front bucket
seats, a center console, and a horseshoe shifter are the kind of
things you'd want on a Super Sport Chevelle, but that car never
gave all this walnut wood-like trim. Since this is a first-year
Monte Carlo, it holds a special place in the hearts of many
enthusiasts' hearts. So we're glad to see this one looking so
stock. You even have the Delco AM radio there for display and
controls for factory air conditioning (it will need servicing
before blowing again.) And the thin-rimmed dual-spoke steering
wheel, tilt steering column, and round gauges give you that proper
premium vintage cruiser feel.
The top-dog in the Monte Carlo lineup was the 454 cubic-inch V8,
and so it's important to have this big block look so stock in the
engine bay. It's a fresher replacement motor, but it really seems
up to you to tell that secret considering the bold orange block,
matching valve covers, and air grabber w/callout could all pass for
factory. In fact, many signs point to this being a real-deal Super
Sport, but currently, we do not have definitive proof. The big
block fires up nicely as it inhales deeply with the four-barrel
carburetor. The TH400 three-speed automatic transmission is great
for being both stout and smooth, and this feeds a 12-bolt rear end.
Power steering, front power disc brakes, boxed rear suspension
arms, and sway bars front & rear complete the right package for a
coupe that loves to be both powerful and comfortable.
Complete with owner's manual, this is the first-year Monte Carlo
with the style and power you really want. So don't let it slip
away. Call today!!!
