The Chevrolet Monte Carlo is a two-door coupe that was manufactured and marketed by the Chevrolet division of General Motors. Deriving its name from the namesake Monegasque city, the Monte Carlo was marketed as the first personal luxury car of the Chevrolet brand. Introduced for the 1970 model year, the model line was produced across six generations through the 2007 model year, with a hiatus from 1989-1994. The Monte Carlo was a closely aligned variant of the Pontiac Grand Prix through its entire production.
From 1970 to 1972, the Monte Carlo used the "A-Special" platform with the Grand Prix, shifting to the A-body intermediate chassis for 1973-1977. For 1978, the model line underwent extensive downsizing; a major revision saw the A-body chassis redesignated as the G-body for 1981. After an abbreviated 1988 model year, the Monte Carlo was replaced by the two-door Chevrolet Lumina.
For the 1995 model year, the Monte Carlo was revived, replacing the two-door Lumina. Sharing the front-wheel drive W-platform with the two-door Grand Prix, the Monte Carlo was again slotted above the Camaro as the largest Chevrolet coupe. Following the discontinuation of the four-door Lumina, the Chevrolet Impala became the four-door equivalent of the Monte Carlo. After the 2002 model year, the Grand Prix coupe was discontinued, leaving the Monte Carlo as the largest two-door coupe produced by an American auto manufacturer.
In response to declining sales of the model line, Chevrolet discontinued the Monte Carlo after the 2007 model year;[2] as of current production, the Camaro (reintroduced for 2010) and the Corvette are the sole two-door Chevrolet model lines. During much of its production, the Monte Carlo represented the Chevrolet brand in stock car racing. During the 1980s, the Monte Carlo SS was introduced, featuring aerodynamically-enhanced styling; as part of its revival, the Monte Carlo again represented Chevrolet in stock car racing from 1995 through its discontinuation.
The styling of the 1970 model-year Monte Carlo is distinguished by its chromed rectangular grille having a fine grid pattern of 720 small squares with two horizontal dividers and centered in it was a chrome and red crest emblem adorned by a Corinthian helmet (commonly referred to as the "knight's crest"[7]), a thin hood spear with no vertical hood ornament, round headlamps with rounded chrome bezels (which appeared on a prototype 1970 Chevelle front end proposal which was rejected for the 4 headlight design), circular parking lamps inset into the front bumper directly below the headlamps, and tail lights with chrome trim around the perimeter of the lens, only.
The standard powertrain was the 350 cu in (5.7 L) Chevrolet "Turbo-Fire" small-block V8 with a two-barrel carburetor, rated at 250 hp (186 kW) (gross) at 4500 rpm and 345 lb·ft (468 Nm) of torque at 2800 rpm, mated to a column-mounted 3-speed Synchro-Mesh manual transmission.
Various options were available. A two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission (on 350 CID engines only), three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic, or a four-speed manual; most Monte Carlos were built with the Turbo-Hydramatic. Variable-ratio power steering, power windows, air conditioning, power seats, "rally" wheels, bucket seats, center console, full instrumentation, and other accessories were also available, bringing the price of a fully equipped Monte Carlo to more than $5,000.
Optional engines included the four-barrel carbureted Turbo-Fire 350 CID small block V8, rated at 300 hp (224 kW) at 4800 rpm and 380 lb·ft (515 Nm) at 3200 rpm, the Turbo-Fire 400 (400 CID/6.5 L) with a two-barrel carburetor, rated at 265 hp (198 kW) at 4800 rpm and 400 lb·ft (542 Nm) at 3800 rpm, and the Turbo-Jet 400 (402 CID/6.6 L) with a four-barrel carburetor, rated at 330 hp (246 kW) at 4800 rpm and 410 lb·ft (555 Nm) at 3200 rpm). Note that the two Chevrolet 400 CID V8s offered this year were actually two different designs. The two-barrel carbureted Turbo-Fire 400 was a Small Block Chevrolet V8 engine, similar, but different internally, to the 350, while the Turbo-Jet 400 was a slightly enlarged version of the 396 CID big block V8 and had an actual displacement of 402 CID.

The headers were called "180 degree" headers and man did they give off a very special sound!!!!!!!!!!! The best part of my youth was whenever a 180 car showed up to race!

[@harpermotorsports16]

I'll have to build this one, as I really enjoyed the GTO version! The tires are the best racing tires I've seen in a kit!

[@strivingx67]

A master at Pre-assembly for sure!

[@13Dixiefried]

Was just thinking about this kit the other day, as well as getting all the rest of them.

[@robertnussberger6449]

The chassis in this kit was used in a few kits the Monte gto mustang and 1960s camaro. In the 80s sae did a how article on turning these chassis into a mid 70s late model dirt car. I don't know what made it a dirt car chassis but that's what they called it. Nice build . Cool dents

[@grahamwaldrop9074]

Ive never thought of doing dents in my cars, but that is really cool!

[@richardlee1092]

Chris, this car car looks absolutely fantastic!!! Love your color choices, and just the right amount of DAMAGE! Out of all the super stockers I like the look of this one. A must have. Keep up the great work!

[@rodnokken7759]

I'm building a GTO version to give to a friend. It won't be the last. This is one of the best chassis in scale modeling.

[@goratgo1970]

Nice to see the assembly part, guess the GTO stocker build made it familiar?

[@bigbear4422]

Love that rubbing is racing look!!!!

[@jackmcgill3150]

My headers were like that on my real race car. I love this kit! I hope I can find it! We have a hobby lobby wear we live, but it really doesn't have a great selection.

[@jimmccauley9099]

That is the first time I've seen General Kinetics decal. Ran their cams and components back in the 70s. Cool!

[@timarthur9425]

Great review and awesome build.bump and grind part of racing for sure.thanks for tips on damage looked xlnt. back in the days of metal tooth paste tubes I used to make damaged fenders out of them. Peace

[@joemazzola7387]

Imagine the noise and heat driving that in the summertime heat love the scratch and dents looks realistic

[@charliebowman785]

All those details on the door , the exhaust stains and all the rest make an xcellent model. Kudos Chris

[@MPi-KM]

I always look forward to Wednesday and Saturday for your latest videos.👍

[@r.a.monigold9789]

While many folks know of Rod Stewart's self built train layouts, few realized Frank Sinatra was also a model builder. But his band leader was always critiquing the way the "Chairman of the Board" assembled kits. So Frank wrote a song about it - "I built it MY WAY" - sing it Chris!

[@freedomfighter69]

Great build, a few bumper dings wouldn't hurt given the nature of the short tracks it would have raced on. Awesome!

[@modelsbyhand]

Looks great. Nice effects with the paint on the damage panels!

[@xxx_e_xxx174]

Love the damage detail 👍🏻
