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 a loaded and comfy custom interior.
This coupe is a mean machine, and so you want a paint that lets
everyone know that. That's why we love this level of black. It has
the kind of slick shine that's really going to get it noticed at
the stoplights. But the finish isn't so perfect that you'll get
nervous about having some fun in-between those stoplights. After
all, this is a driver's classic, and as you dig into all the
features, this coupe proves it has been given all the right
investment for that. As a true American cruiser, there's a ton of
brightwork to make it stand out. You have a good polish on areas
like the wide chrome bumpers and full rocker trim. Plus, there's an
upgraded attitude with the SS badging, crystal clear headlights,
and that awesome stance of 20-inch wheels.
More of the performance and luxury duo continues inside, and you'll
instantly notice it's all part of a modern upgrade. The upholstery
keeps the same mean black attitude as the exterior, but it's now
done in a more comfortable cloth. And there's even a cool MC
embroidery in the headrests for this Monte Carlo. Your seat is
particularly comfortable because the front gets a pair of
well-bolstered buckets, and the driver's one power adjusts. In
fact, it's set up for a full driver's package with an armrest
center console, upgraded sports steering wheel, power steering,
B&M shifter, and a carbon fiber-style dash filled with bright
AutoMeter readouts. There are great features you want on a cool
cruiser, like an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo, power locks, seat
heaters, and provisions for air conditioning (the compressor is
there, but it will need more components and servicing to function.)
And our favorite feature of them all is the power windows. It means
you can roll down all the windows on this pillarless hardtop
without ever leaving the driver's seat.
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
motor that just radiates with quality and power. It has been built
correctly, including a Holley four-barrel carburetor, polished
intake, and Hooker 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 an MSD digital
ignition, March pulleys, steel-braided hoses, AN fittings, and a
large aluminum radiator w/electric fan. Plus, the TH400 three-speed
automatic transmission is stout enough to get all this muscle to
the pavement as it feeds the 12-bolt rear end. And with upgrades
like Wilwood power front disc brakes, rear air shocks, a rear sway
bar, and modern/grippy ZR-rated tires, this coupe knows how to
handle its power.
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
