Vehicle Description
1974 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Landau Only 16,281 Miles!
This classy Monte is a solid cruiser that's benefitted from careful
use only on an as needed basis, and as a result has a mere 16,084
original miles. An un-restored original car that presents very
nicely, you simply won't find more muscle for the money!
Exterior
Taupe metallic brown paint done right from the factory, plenty of
brite work, and a chamois vinyl Landau top drape this '74
"Luxo-Mod"("Look! Up in the sky, it's a muscle car!...no its a
luxury car!..). True to form 1974 second gen Monte Carlo through
and through, it sports a long long hood, and almost as long trunk
deck. All badging trim work and chromed bumpers are very clean and
dimple and rust free. A slight frown for the landau top which in in
overall great shape. Rally wheels and with brand new tires
installed.
Interior
Cream or off white is the color for the interior, and this is mixed
with dark brown on the dash and floors. A vinyl seats also in the
off white/cream, in the form of a front split bench and rear full
bench have virtually no marks or stains and certainly no rips or
tears. The door panels are very clean vinyl covered with all
working cranks and a toggle for the exterior mirror. A brown vinyl
padded dash covers the passenger side, and faux burl veneer fronts
the dash from centerline to driver's door. All gauges. Standard GM
Monte Carlo steering wheel fronts the dash. Air conditioning, power
steering, and power brakes are installed. Brown carpet, showing
very well, is beneath all the seating. A nice tight tan cloth
headliner is above all this luxury and originality.
Drivetrain
Taking a gaze into the engine bay one sees 350ci V8 engine, with a
factory 2-barrel carburetor on top and now upgraded to a 4brrl
intake and carb from the same era. A 350 Turbo Hydromatic automatic
transmission is on back. Engine is well preserved and the AC also
blows cold.
Drive-Ability
I love test driving these low mileage large Detroit iron cars, and
this one left me with a smile on my face. It fired right up, idled
without a trace of being on, and took off in a flash. It is a very
smooth ride, with nice acceleration and decent handling. All
functions were indeed...functioning.
The 74 Monte Carlo is easily the nicest A-Body car that General
Motors ever produced. This example, with its great stance and deep
rumble, all original paint and interior and a numbers matching
engine and you could not ask for anything else....well..you could
and it delivers with super low mileage. An almost new 46 year old
car, now that's something to be said. Only minor flaws can be
found.
