For Sale: 1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo in Concord, North Carolina

Extra slick paint, upgraded small block V8 power, an A/C interior, and the right extra investments headline this 1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. That's what makes this personal coupe attractive well-beyond its obtainable price.

The Atomic Orange makes for a terrific paint upgrade. After all, the 1970s were really starting to bring out vivid colors like this. And so where there's a touch of era-correct vibe, it also gets its GM lineage from being a more modern Corvette color. There was more than $3,500 invested when this was professionally applied only about five years ago. So it has a fresh look, sleek feel, and a terrific radiance when the sunshine hits the modern clearcoat finish. This glossy paint comes together with a quality panel fit to showcase creases and curves that helped make Chevrolet's personal luxury car a star. Plus, there's added brightness from a solid investment in re-chroming factory pieces, like the form-fitting chrome bumpers, side mirrors, and door handles. And the upgraded 17-inch American Racing wheels add a ton of style and shine to this total package.

The premium black vinyl roof not only looks distinctive against the orange but also gives you a preview of the black interior. It has a clean and complete look. Plus, there are some terrific investments in details like the newer soft seat foam and white-faced gauges. There's plenty of room for family and friends, and this one has well-integrated upgrades to keep them all happy. The radio is a retro-style AM/FM digital tuner and the factory air conditioning is now blowing cold with R134a. Of course, as a premium Monte Carlo, it's built for personal driver luxury. That's why the dash is oriented around you, and there are easy driving features like a tilt steering column, a three-speed automatic transmission, and cruise control.

Under the hood is the right kind of small block power. The 350 cubic-inch V8 is an ATK High-Performance crate motor installed in 2011. The full package is said to make 245 horsepower. It inhales deeply with a Holley four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with proper authority from the header-fed dual exhaust. A car like this was built to be a confident cruiser. That's why you have features like power steering, power brakes, front discs, and sway bars front & rear.

The sale comes complete with the owner's manual, build receipts, and maintenance records. This is the shining and premium Monte Carlo that has the right upgrades and a terrific price. So don't miss this well-packaged deal. Call now!
