Vehicle Description
There is a lot to love about this 1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS
454. It has an awesome factory-correct two-tone, a loaded A/C
interior, and its numbers-matching big block has been enhanced for
added muscle. There's even extensive paperwork that comes on this
true classic that's terrific for modern cruising.
Astro Blue and Fathom Blue is a timelessly attractive and
sophisticated color combo. It makes this Monte Carlo look like it
belongs cruising the coast line of Monte Carlo. We have the
paperwork that shows it's the factory original setup, but it has
been updated later in life, and even given a hint of metallic. The
result is a sharp-looking car that also has pedigree. This was the
first year for the Monte Carlo, and the design shows why the
personal coupe would remain popular at Chevy. The bright front end,
curvy rear fenders, full-length rocker trim, and form-hugging
bumpers make for a stylish hardtop. This one is quite stock, but
you will spot some upgrades. The large polished exhaust tips
suggest the right big block attitude, and the upgraded 18-inch
Foose wheels add extra shine while also letting you fit better
modern tires.
The sea of blue continues inside to give this premium coupe a
harmonized and truly distinct appearance inside and out. The bench
seats give you plenty of room to seat up to six in comfort. But
this is a personal coupe, and so that means a driver's car at its
heart. You have a tilt steering column, full round gauge package
w/tach, and a dash with all the control easy to reach within the
burled walnut simulated wood paneling. And because this wants to be
a better modern cruiser, you have some well integrated upgrades.
The factory air conditioning is blowing cold with modern R134a
refrigerant; there's an auxiliary gauge trio to keep a full eye on
the motor; and the retro-style AM/FM digital tuner with aux input
means upgraded driving music.
The top-dog in the Monte Carlo lineup was the 454 cubic-inch V8,
and this real-deal Super Sport continues to carry its
numbers-matching big block today. But you can also see they gave
this one plenty of investment. It has an upgraded air grabber
feeding the Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, an aluminum intake,
and even an aluminum radiator w/electric fans to help keep the
package running cool. The headers add both power and rumble as they
feed the X-pipe dual exhaust. The TH400 three-speed automatic
transmission is already known for its robustness, and this one
kicks it up a notch with a TCI unit that includes a stall
converter. This feeds a stout 12-bolt rear end, and the rear
suspension also beefy with boxed arms and a sway bar. More than
just out to handle big power, and true Monte Carlo is also an easy
cruiser. That's why you have features like power steering, power
brakes, and front discs.
There were only about 3,800 true 454 SS Monte Carlos like this made
in its inaugural year. So a true classic like this also needs
excellent paperwork. That's why the sale comes with a copy of the
factory buildsheet, original installment sale contract (bill of
sale), owner's manual, title documentation, and maintenance
records. This is an all-around awesome big block coupe, so you know
it needs to be in your garage. Call today!!!
