Please call Tyler directly at 513-349-7163 with any questions about
this car.
Seven Hills Motorcars is very proud to offer this stunning 1972
Chevrolet Monte Carlo in great driver condition. This Monte Carlo
looks fantastic, runs great, and drives awesome. The car is
finished in the beautiful color combination of Golden Brown (57)
exterior over Covert Vinyl (734) interior. This is the correct and
original color scheme verified by the codes on the trim tag
pictured in this ad. This is an excellent opportunity to own an
exceptional Monte Carlo that is ready to be used and enjoyed at an
unbeatable value.
While this Monte Carlo does not have the original engine, it has a
more modern 350ci GM Performance crate engine.
The 1972 model year is desirable and sought after from the
first-generation Monte Carlos. One could easily buy this car now
and sell it for more than the purchase price in years to come as
these A-Body's are appreciating fast and the market on them is very
hot right now, especially for such nice examples like this car.
As a side note, this Monte Carlo is not a dealer auction vehicle.
We hand pick each car after careful inspection. Our classics come
from owners who expect their cars to go to someone that will give
the vehicle the same care and attention as they did. We invite and
encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car
inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture. We
photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel
confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the
Chevrolet, just give us a call.
Exterior
The Golden Brown (57) exterior is in nice driver condition. As one
can see in the photos, the paint has a good gloss, deep shine, and
smooth finish. Both doors open and shut well and feel great when
you close them. The chrome Crager wheels are in excellent condition
with a brilliant finish and no curb rash. The Mastercraft white
letter tires have plenty of tread left and are sized 215/70R15.
There are no major imperfections that have been intentionally
excluded from the photos. There are some small blemishes around the
car that were too small to show up in the pictures, but nothing
that is really noticeable from about five or ten feet away. There
is some bubbling around the sail panels and some bubbling in the
paint here and there. Overall, the car looks/sounds solid. We have
included many photos of the underside of the car and photos of the
areas most prone to rust to show how it looks.
Interior
The Covert Vinyl (734) interior of the Monte Carlo is in great
condition. The gauge faces are clean and crisp and the gauge lenses
are clear. An SS tachometer has been added to replace the clock.
The carpet has also been changed from brown to black and looks
brand new. The seats look in person as they do in the photos with
no holes, split seams, or excessive wear. The seat is not overly
worn in the typical area where the driver gets in and out, there is
just one small spot of wear in the bead in that area. The door
panels are in nice condition overall with no cracks or splits and
the door pulls are solid and intact. The dash looks great with no
splits, sun fading, or cracks. Both seat belts work and retract
properly. This is a common problem on this era Monte Carlo and an
issue many buyers do not think to check. This Chevy has never been
smoked in; there are no burn marks and no aroma of cigarettes. The
truck is clean and comes with the spare and the jack.
Chevrolet interiors from this era are not known to wear well over
the years and the nice condition of this interior is a huge
testament to the meticulous care this car has received throughout
its life.
Mechanical
This Monte Carlo is in great mechanical condition and it is ready
to be enjoyed. The 350ci V8 crate engine starts right away every
time, runs well, and idles smoothly. This Monte Carlo is an
exceptional driver that feels great on the road and at highway
speeds. In the video below one can observe the car accelerating on
the highway up to about 70mph, shifting through all the gears,
braking to stoplight, and going through some curves. Please note
that there are no strange noises or vibrations and the car performs
quite well overall. The brakes are responsive and do not pull to
one side or the other. The transmission shifts smoothly throughout
the power band. The car runs cool and does not overheat. This Monte
Carlo has plenty of power. The Carburetor could most likely use
some adjustment as the car appears to run rich at idle. Also, the
engine compartment is beautifully clean and highly detailed as one
can see in the photos.
The 350ci GM Performance crate engine is more reliable has much
more power than the factory engine. The horn works as do all the
exterior lights, interior lights, dash lights, indicators, and
wipers. The blower for the heater works on all speeds. All of the
gauges work, along with the added oil pressure/water temp gauge.
The car has a very healthy exhaust note as one can hear in the
video. This Monte Carlo is a factory a/c car, but the a/c was
removed when the crate motor was installed. Not enough can be said
as to how much of a pleasure it is to drive this car.
Overall Condition
Overall, this 1972 Monte Carlo is in great driver condition. Good
examples of the first-generation Monte Carlos are hard to find and
draw a huge premium in the current market. Although this Monte
isn't perfect, it is an amazing cruiser that looks fantastic going
down the road. One could easily bring this car to another level
with some minor TLC. This Monte Carlo always gets a ton of
attention driving down the road. It is very apparent that the
vehicle has been well taken care of by its previous owners. The
prices of first-generation Monte Carlos have increased dramatically
over the past years. They are secure and wise investments for a
collector. One could easily enjoy this vehicle for several years
and sell it for more than the purchase price with minimal
effort.
Thank you for looking and please do not hesitate to email or call
