Vehicle Description
Premium style, nice upgrades, and a big block heart make this 1972
Chevrolet Monte Carlo the kind of classic that likes to be shown
off.
Fathom Blue is a terrific Chevy color. It has a dark sophistication
that also knows how to radiate in the sunlight when done right. And
that good gloss really showcases the crisp creases of the sheet
metal. The dark paint also helps to show off how the bright chrome
bumpers hug the car's form. It's believed this coupe was given a
full restoration about 20 years ago, but the way the finish looks
and the body panels line up, it appears like an even younger
restoration. The Monte Carlo is all about delivering a premium
style. So the vinyl top has a like-new appearance, and the black
looks good against the dark blue. Plus, the full-length rocker trim
and rear panel have black accents to subtly coordinate with the
roof. It gives the whole exterior the look of a thoughtful total
package.
The black interior looks good with the headliner, carpet, and dash
all presented with a quality look and feel. This one has the right
features and additions that make it a great cruiser. The
restoration upgraded the upholstery to a comfy velour. It still has
the classic button-top design to go with the door panels, but the
bolstering of the front bucket seats really gives this the feeling
of an all-day cruiser. The dual-spoke steering wheel is mounted on
a tilt column to give you an easy view of the full round gauge
package. And this was upgraded to a set of digital auxiliary
readouts and electron tach for a distinctive way to also stay fully
informed. There's also an AM/FM/cassette stereo with CD changer,
plenty of walnut wood-like trim, and the heater controls show this
was a factory A/C car (it will need components to return the
function.) Plus, the rare power windows feature means you can roll
down all the windows on this hardtop without ever leaving the
driver's seat.
Under the hood is a sharp-looking powerhouse. The bold orange
block, shining valve covers, air grabber w/callout, and overall
tidy style are a great way to showcase this 402 cubic-inch V8. This
is also built with the right power upgrades like a Holley
four-barrel carburetor, a Weiand aluminum intake, and headers
feeding the dual exhaust. This has the right supporting components,
like an MSD distributor, steel braided lines, and twin electric
fans. We even have a receipt from the last few months showing that
this was given a comprehensive tune-up to keep it running strong.
Features like the 12-bolt rear end, upgraded rear suspension arms,
and sway bars front & rear are all there to handle the big block's
big torque. But this one is out to be more of a cruiser than a pure
muscle car. So you have easy driving features like power steering,
power brakes, front discs, and a smooth-shifting TH400 three-speed
automatic transmission.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual, service manuals,
build receipts, and restoration photos. This is the premium big
block Monte Carlo that loves to remain a great upper-class cruiser.
