I just love your vids. It brings back memories of a time when America was on top of the world. I also thoroughly enjoy your porch and backyard chats. These were the cars that I owned, repaired and drove everyday. Keep up the good work
The Gen 1 Monte Carlos are my favorite. Clean styling, tidy size; this one is gorgeous. Hearing it start sure brings back memories, my dad had a 1971 Biscayne with the same 350 2-bbl engine, and sounded exactly the same.
First, I LOVE that you entered from the passenger side and slid across the bench seat to the driver's position! And it certainly does idle as beautifully as it looks. That fan shroud, though....
Fabulous original survivor car. I can almost smell the exhaust on that cold start! You made me a little nervous leaning into that engine compartment with those hoodie strings! Be careful with that!!!
It's a beautiful thing to have a bench seat that allows a family of 6 to be able to drive in style and dignity. You've just demonstrated yet another great benefit of the bench seat, by sliding in behind the steering wheel from the passenger side. BRING BACK THE BENCH SEAT! Preferably covered in panty cloth fabric.
ahh, that brings back memories of my next door neighbor's wife that used to overdrive the starter on their '73 Impala. Such a distinct 70's American sound.
My dad had a friend who had one of these and he would always get kidded about owning a Chevrolet. He would always pipe up and say; "It's not a Chevrolet, it's a Monte Carlo! " Lol
Hey Adam, I love the classic lines of the first generation Monte Carlo!!! Yours is a real beauty, I especially like the sporty wheel covers, the fender skirts & of course the 8-track player. Woo Hoo!!! 👍👍
Monte Carlo was always my favorite. The real ones I mean. I never cared for them after they became a front-wheel-drive. I'd give anything to have my '83 back.
I've commented before about your fender skirted 72 MC, about our green one, etc.. Glad to see it again pulled out of the garage. So glad to have had one brand new in 72, along with many others. My Dad instilled the love I have for 50s, 60s, and 70s cars. I'm almost 65 , thankfully with a few under my belt. Love this car!
I absolutely love those early Monte Carlo Chevys. I had a 69 Grand Prix SJ and it was a wonderful car and even though the body was like the GP I prefer the Pontiac mostly because of the styling, interior and it seemed sportier than the Chevy but both are beautiful. My favorite of thise type of cars is the 67 thru 70 Buick Riviera. I never owned one but had friends that did and we traveled to many places in those cars and I always wanted one and still do
Wow great style to this beauty. Paint color is gorgeous. Even the hubcaps are classy. Thanks for showing this survivor. Perfect example of the iconic Monte Carlo.
My favorite of all the cars I've owned was my 74 Monte with a 350 - 2 bbl. Slightly different body style, very similar mechanically. That car is a beautiful example,
Knowing that this is your personal car earned you a subscribe. Been watching your content for about a month now I love the porch talks. You’ve got great taste in your personal collection. My first car was a 73’ Monte Carlo Landau. 4bl 350
This makes me miss one of my 71's. Blue just like that w bench seat and getting road head from my honey just floating down the road. My 72' was a big block custom w buckets and the airplane shifter. Had a red 71' too, gave it my honey, cuz she was so sweet 👌🏻
These are perfect cars to listen to lounge/exotica music like Martin Denny, Parez Prado, Enoch Light, and of course Esquivel. It really puts you in that time period.
My grandfather got a new Chevy every 2 years. He had a 70 Monte Carlo and a 72. He retired and moved out of Roseville at the end of 72. Corner of Curtis and Cole, lol I still remember the address. My very first car in 1980 was a 1973 Camaro with a 350 2 barrel 3 speed. Your car is a terrific example of the good old days and brings back lots of fond memories for me.
Boy o Boy, that is such a beautiful car. Can't wait to hear the whole story on where you found such an amazing time capsule with only 1800 miles. You could start a "ride along car museum", so many of us would pay just to have a little ride on these cars.
Had a 72 in forest green with black vinyl top. Turbo 400 on the back of a 402 4bbl. Stock was good for 16.5 mpg at 70. I added an MSD with the stock coil and improved that to 19+ at 75. Tall rear end 2.70 as I recall. I buried the 140 mph speedometer once while I was in North Dakota. Still had throttle left. I really miss that car. One of GM’s stellar performers !!
Thanks for sharing this video, which just popped into my youtube feed. In high school/college I had a 1972 Monte Carlo, and yes, the mulsanne blue paint but no vinyl top. It had the 350 2 bbl, 350 turbomatic transmission. One of my favorites because of the quality and style and also because of the memories.
Stupid rain! This review has been a long time coming, but it's going to be worth it. A lot of the videos on the first gen Montes treat them like muscle cars, when the reality is most were personal luxury or just stylish family cars. Your example is a wonderful piece of history- an iconic if somewhat misunderstood legend.
Hi Adam. I really like that Monte Carlo, especially with the rare fender skirts. 1800 miles is insane! Quite the deep fan shroud on that too. I owned a '71 C20 3/4 T 2WD, Custom Deluxe w/350 and Turbo Hydromatic . Only had 68K miles and all original. Out of the dozens of cars that I have owned from the '70's, that was my favorite sounding vehicle. I could listen to that all day. Just a smooth, deep, mellow rumble but not loud, or "tinny" or obnoxious. I think my 2nd favorite was a '72 F250 Camper Special w/390 and C6. 70K original miles and factory exhaust. Also had a great sounding stock exhaust. Currently my favorite exhaust has nothing to do with my cars but it's on my '07 45' diesel pusher motorhome with a Turbo Diesel Cummins 525 HP. The slight pitch of the turbo combined with the deep diesel rattle....Gotta love that sound!!. As always, great video, love the car and the discussion!!
There was something about them, they just looked subtly cool. And with the bullet proof 350 you had a car that wouldn't leave you stuck and cruised nicely on the highway. 👍
The best looking of all the Monte Carlos! And you'll never see hardtops coming out of Detroit (or China, or wherever they're making cars now) ever again...
The styling of the '72 Monte Carlo was stellar, and it would not have taken much more in appointments and refinements to have made it a stunning, over the top luxury sedan. It's reminiscent of the Bentley S1 Continental 2-door Fastback by H.J. Mulliner 1957.
I missed out on a 1970 pontiac bonneville 2 door silver with black interior all original a few months back that had sat in the garage since the 80,s man...solid as a rock down to the hubcaps here in East tn. thought of you man where you would had admired it also! Love your channel.
Man, that thing is sweet! Nothing better sounding than a stock Chev 350. Hope it didn't get a ding from that Grand Marquis door bump a while ago. We really like your smoothster Lincoln, too. 👍👍
A great car. I had a 1970 Monte Carlo in probably the early 1980's and I loved it. Mine was in pretty fair shape, but obviously not as nice as yours. I think I paid $800 for it back then, and it had 70 or 80k+ miles on it, as I recall. White with a black interior. Your car reminds me so much of mine...the upholstery fabric, vinyl top and such. Your comment about the engine placement was apt; had to be the biggest hood/trunk length ratio in American history...I'd forgotten how long the radiator hoses were on these things! Mine was also a 350 c.i. 2 bbl., and you're very correct on how well they moved at speed. I gave a friend a ride and he became alarmed at how fast we were going as I merged onto the interstate. Great video.
WOW, that thing is gorgeous. I see a tilt wheel and a clock in the dash. The only thing that car is missing that is a MUST HAVE, is electric windows. Its nice to see one of these that looks as they were intended to look and not all chopped and hotrodded out. Classy looking car for sure.
Amazing find with only 1800 miles. I had a similar rig, bought new, 1972 Malibu 350 2bbl, 2dr. My first new car. Loved it. These were made when GM had a focus on quality.
My first daily driver was my grandfather’s 1972 Olds Cutlass sedan. He gave it to my dad after he reached the age where driving was no longer a safe activity for him. I drove it for the last couple of years I was in high school and then my brother drove it after I went away to college. “Rocket 350” V8 with a 2 barrel carb and no positive traction. While it was a shadow of the 350’s just a year or two earlier it still had torque for days. My dad never could figure out why only the right rear tires seemed to be worn out after about 7k miles. Hmm… It’s interesting to see and remember how many parts GM cars shared across the brands. The door levels inside and out, dashboard, etc in the Monte Carlos have a lot of common with the Cutlass of the same year.
On several occasions, you mentioned you do not have a problem with points and condenser distributors. I think it would be great if you gave a presentation on various types of distributors and through your knowledge and expertise single out the ones you think are less problematic and/or superior. Examples: HEI, transistor ignition ball bearing distributor, dual point distributors and others. Thank you for for your anticipated positive response.
Very nice ride....Best bang for the buck on style and price in my opionion and the 350 2 bbl. is no slouch,i have always ran 68-72 chevelles from 1990 till present....those are just high end chevelle in my book...and the miles on it!!!! wow man!!! I have 2 very solid original 68 and 70 chevelles here in east tn. original engines/driveline and metal down to the brake and fuel lines,but to see a car where you live like that is a diamond man!!! Love your channel man and just say No to the riceburners!
The interior is very similar to my 73 2bbl, single exhaust. The 4bbl with dual exhaust and Hush Thrush were music to my year, this one had swivel seats also with the shifter on the floor, I really loved that one but now it's something from the past. 😍
Nice car. I have three model kits by AMT of the 1970, 1971, and 1972 model cars. Have not built the 1970 model, but I did a 1971 in Mediterranean blue and a 1972 in cardinal red. I saw that type of car on episodes of Bewitched. Chevrolet was the sponsor and corporate tie-in.
I had a '73 monte carlo, with the famous swivel bucket seats ( ugh! They were too tall for me, my head was in the headliner ). '72 was always my favorite year. Followed by '73 and '74. Cant wait to see the full vid on this car.
Always astonished when you reveal the mileage on your cars. 1800 miles is amazing. Can never understand why someone would buy a new car and not drive it. Gorgeous Monte Carlo, one of my favorites.
Lots of scenarios can end up like that. Dad buys a new car at 70 but dies suddenly. Mom doesn't drive but can't bear to part with his stuff. She lives 25 more years. The kids aren't into cars. To them it's just a non-running car with boxes piled up on it. For many reasons the estate is not settled for another five years. Now it's a non-running 31 year old car with 1200 miles. Somehow our friend finds out about it and resurrects the car and puts 600 miles on it over 10-15 years. If you search them out and follow every lead for years, you can find one too. It is a super-sweet car!
Beautiful example and nice to see it totally stock. Stylistically the front looks like a 1970 model and the rear more typical of a 1967/8 model, especially compared to other contemporaneous designs for 1972. Regardless a lovely car.
That fan shroud is something else, I suppose it compensates for the long front end style or for the fact that the engine sits rearward a bit more. One for certain, the car has style. It’s classy.
I sure miss the days when you scootch across the seat like that. Once I got trapped in an apartment parking stall by some dingbat who parked right next to the driver's door of my Chevy Cruze. I had no choice but to go in from the pass side and hump my way over the console. It hurt at my age :(
That's one beautiful survivor. Those 70-72 Monte Carlos were just terrific cars. They handled good, rode good, looked good.... I've always loved them.
The 70-72 are by far the best Monte-Carlos out there.
I just love your vids. It brings back memories of a time when America was on top of the world. I also thoroughly enjoy your porch and backyard chats. These were the cars that I owned, repaired and drove everyday. Keep up the good work
Love the 70, 71 and 72 Monties. What Great car!
1800 mile wow. It has 8 track to boot awesome.
The 1st generation Monte Carlo is still a classic, the 2nd generation wasn't bad at all, they had a style all their own
The Gen 1 Monte Carlos are my favorite. Clean styling, tidy size; this one is gorgeous. Hearing it start sure brings back memories, my dad had a 1971 Biscayne with the same 350 2-bbl engine, and sounded exactly the same.
Wow, just an amazing time capsule!
First, I LOVE that you entered from the passenger side and slid across the bench seat to the driver's position! And it certainly does idle as beautifully as it looks. That fan shroud, though....
In the words of TS Eliot, April is the cruelest month.
Fabulous original survivor car. I can almost smell the exhaust on that cold start! You made me a little nervous leaning into that engine compartment with those hoodie strings! Be careful with that!!!
Those long radiator shrouds were a little too cozy and puuurrrrrfect for neighborhood cats.
Out of all the GM mid size luxury coups the Monte Carlo was the best bang for the buck and the reserved style was perfect.
It's a beautiful thing to have a bench seat that allows a family of 6 to be able to drive in style and dignity. You've just demonstrated yet another great benefit of the bench seat, by sliding in behind the steering wheel from the passenger side.
BRING BACK THE BENCH SEAT! Preferably covered in panty cloth fabric.
👏👏
Loved the first and second generation Monte Carlos.
Adam, Add me to the chorus of voices calling for the full story to be told on a sunnier day. 👏👏👏
The same here in WNY. 65 during the week, 40 and rain on the weekends.
What a beauty
ahh, that brings back memories of my next door neighbor's wife that used to overdrive the starter on their '73 Impala. Such a distinct 70's American sound.
Beautiful car that looked much more upmarket than the bow tie brand name would imply.
My dad had a friend who had one of these and he would always get kidded about owning a Chevrolet. He would always pipe up and say; "It's not a Chevrolet, it's a Monte Carlo! " Lol
If I was President I would mandate small and big block V8 engines, at least one per household.
Very nice car
Hey Adam, I love the classic lines of the first generation Monte Carlo!!! Yours is a real beauty, I especially like the sporty wheel covers, the fender skirts & of course the 8-track player. Woo Hoo!!! 👍👍
He has to pick up a Charlie Pride 8-track tape! Lol
Monte Carlo was always my favorite. The real ones I mean. I never cared for them after they became a front-wheel-drive. I'd give anything to have my '83 back.

Wow great style to this beauty. Paint color is gorgeous. Even the hubcaps are classy. Thanks for showing this survivor. Perfect example of the iconic Monte Carlo.
I love the days when cars had great colors, inside and out!🖌
Hardly ever see these out and about and those skirts are even more rare.
I love these older Monte Carlo's. They had style, and beauty.
Looks great with the side skirts, hubcaps and whitewalls
I need this Monte Carlo in my life. My favorite MC generation. Beautiful car. My dad had one.
What a absolutely beautiful car. Always loved those early 70s Monte Carlo's
Interesting how the Monte Carlo started life as a personal luxury car and eventually morphed into a redneck NASCAR favorite.
The Monte is coveted still, by the Hill Billy who needed more then a Chevelle, Camaro, Firebird, etc. Count Monte fit the bill! Fine example.
My favorite of all the cars I've owned was my 74 Monte with a 350 - 2 bbl. Slightly different body style, very similar mechanically. That car is a beautiful example,
Knowing that this is your personal car earned you a subscribe. Been watching your content for about a month now I love the porch talks. You’ve got great taste in your personal collection.
My first car was a 73’ Monte Carlo Landau. 4bl 350
What a beautiful and pristine car. I hear you about the Midwest weather, low 30's and sleet today and supposed to be in the 80's by Tuesday
That is an incredible Survivor!
What a beauty.....1800 miles¿ Absolutely incredible One of a kind for sure..
This makes me miss one of my 71's. Blue just like that w bench seat and getting road head from my honey just floating down the road.
My 72' was a big block custom w buckets and the airplane shifter. Had a red 71' too, gave it my honey, cuz she was so sweet 👌🏻
OMG TMI
These are perfect cars to listen to lounge/exotica music like Martin Denny, Parez Prado, Enoch Light, and of course Esquivel. It really puts you in that time period.
Love the pipe tone . That glug glug sound is like music to ones ears .
My grandfather got a new Chevy every 2 years. He had a 70 Monte Carlo and a 72. He retired and moved out of Roseville at the end of 72. Corner of Curtis and Cole, lol I still remember the address.
My very first car in 1980 was a 1973 Camaro with a 350 2 barrel 3 speed.
Your car is a terrific example of the good old days and brings back lots of fond memories for me.
Wow An 1800 mile 50 year old Monte Carlo, very impressive.
That's the perfect car for that neighborhood.
Boy o Boy, that is such a beautiful car. Can't wait to hear the whole story on where you found such an amazing time capsule with only 1800 miles. You could start a "ride along car museum", so many of us would pay just to have a little ride on these cars.
Yeah buddy, this car is timeless indeed.
Absolutely gorgeous 1st gen Monte Carlo. Love the color combo, too. Looks like a new car . Which, in actual use, it is new…
Had a 72 in forest green with black vinyl top. Turbo 400 on the back of a 402 4bbl. Stock was good for 16.5 mpg at 70. I added an MSD with the stock coil and improved that to 19+ at 75.

Great roofline, side glass and vertical taillights.
Beautiful car, love the first gen Montes. The styling was elegant and understated. Thanks for showing it!
Love those old 8 Tracks with the radio indicator in the cover flap.
Hi Adam. I really like that Monte Carlo, especially with the rare fender skirts. 1800 miles is insane! Quite the deep fan shroud on that too.

Sounds great!
How does a car exist for 50 years and only get 1800 miles - gotta be a great story behind that!
Yes….must get the backstory on this car.
It’s a 248 MC
2 bbl
4 tanks of gas
8 track
It's barely broken in. You're one lucky man
The best looking of all the Monte Carlos! And you'll never see hardtops coming out of Detroit (or China, or wherever they're making cars now) ever again...
The styling of the '72 Monte Carlo was stellar, and it would not have taken much more in appointments and refinements to have made it a stunning, over the top luxury sedan. It's reminiscent of the Bentley S1 Continental 2-door Fastback by H.J. Mulliner 1957.
I bought a '72 MC in 1986 for 250.00 from an old retired couple.One of the best vehicles I have ever owned.like a dummy I sold it in a year.
What a beauty.
Beautiful car, always liked Monte Carlos from any generation, especially the first gens.
My dad used to love those when I was a kid. He tried to buy one once but couldn't make the deal.
In this case I would not even say the phrase "Like New" quite covers it....it IS NEW! Wow...
I missed out on a 1970 pontiac bonneville 2 door silver with black interior all original a few months back that had sat in the garage since the 80,s man...solid as a rock down to the hubcaps here in East tn. thought of you man where you would had admired it also! Love your channel.
Man, that thing is sweet! Nothing better sounding than a stock Chev 350.
Hope it didn't get a ding from that Grand Marquis door bump a while ago.
We really like your smoothster Lincoln, too. 👍👍

Great video.
That's a pretty car. After 73 the Mote Carlos seemed to be everywhere . That was when GM was in it's game
WOW, that thing is gorgeous. I see a tilt wheel and a clock in the dash. The only thing that car is missing that is a MUST HAVE, is electric windows. Its nice to see one of these that looks as they were intended to look and not all chopped and hotrodded out. Classy looking car for sure.
Amazing find with only 1800 miles. I had a similar rig, bought new, 1972 Malibu 350 2bbl, 2dr. My first new car. Loved it. These were made when GM had a focus on quality.
Still one of my all time favorites. Had one in H.S.
big ford fan, but I'd take one of these any day. One of my absolute favourites.
My first daily driver was my grandfather’s 1972 Olds Cutlass sedan. He gave it to my dad after he reached the age where driving was no longer a safe activity for him. I drove it for the last couple of years I was in high school and then my brother drove it after I went away to college. “Rocket 350” V8 with a 2 barrel carb and no positive traction. While it was a shadow of the 350’s just a year or two earlier it still had torque for days. My dad never could figure out why only the right rear tires seemed to be worn out after about 7k miles. Hmm… It’s interesting to see and remember how many parts GM cars shared across the brands. The door levels inside and out, dashboard, etc in the Monte Carlos have a lot of common with the Cutlass of the same year.
I could look at that Monte Carlo all day, what a beautiful automobile! Yes Adam, more Monte Carlo . . . pleease.
On several occasions, you mentioned you do not have a problem with points and condenser distributors. I think it would be great if you gave a presentation on various types of distributors and through your knowledge and expertise single out the ones you think are less problematic and/or superior. Examples: HEI,
transistor ignition ball bearing distributor, dual point distributors and others. Thank you for for your anticipated positive response.
What a beautiful car!
Very nice ride....Best bang for the buck on style and price in my opionion and the 350 2 bbl. is no slouch,i have always ran 68-72 chevelles from 1990 till present....those are just high end chevelle in my book...and the miles on it!!!! wow man!!! I have 2 very solid original 68 and 70 chevelles here in east tn. original engines/driveline and metal down to the brake and fuel lines,but to see a car where you live like that is a diamond man!!! Love your channel man and just say No to the riceburners!
Nothing like a SBC! Sounds great !
The interior is very similar to my 73 2bbl, single exhaust. The 4bbl with dual exhaust and Hush Thrush were music to my year, this one had swivel seats also with the shifter on the floor, I really loved that one but now it's something from the past. 😍
And this is why I like having a bench seat! I have to slide in from the passenger side as well.
Nice car. I have three model kits by AMT of the 1970, 1971, and 1972 model cars.
Have not built the 1970 model, but I did a 1971 in Mediterranean blue and a 1972 in cardinal red.
I saw that type of car on episodes of Bewitched. Chevrolet was the sponsor and corporate tie-in.
I love this channel! Thanks for posting such wonderful content. I really enjoyed looking at the 72 Monte!
Ole girl sounds happy.
Simply beautiful! What a find
I had a '73 monte carlo, with the famous swivel bucket seats ( ugh! They were too tall for me, my head was in the headliner ). '72 was always my favorite year. Followed by '73 and '74. Cant wait to see the full vid on this car.
I always thought the first generation Monte Carlos were very classy. Beautiful car. Thank you for sharing this
Love that Monte!! Also like the look of a well used garage floor!!( looks like mine)...lol
Nice! a 1970 Monte has always been top list. The 72 probably similar
Always astonished when you reveal the mileage on your cars. 1800 miles is amazing. Can never understand why someone would buy a new car and not drive it. Gorgeous Monte Carlo, one of my favorites.

Love the color combination. I had 72 Custom,402,triple black. Great car!
This is my dream car! I have always liked the body style of this Monte Carlo. 😍
Thank you for sharing and the appreciation
What a gorgeous car. My favorite version of the Monte Carlos. Great find Adam! Lok forward to seeing more of it.
That fan shroud is something else,
I suppose it compensates for the long front end style or for the fact that the engine sits rearward a bit more. One for certain, the car has style. It’s classy.
Omg that is soooo nice! Totally jealous! Wow!
I sure miss the days when you scootch across the seat like that. Once I got trapped in an apartment parking stall by some dingbat who parked right next to the driver's door of my Chevy Cruze.
I had no choice but to go in from the pass side and hump my way over the console. It hurt at my age :(
That is one fine automobile.
I love how the dust and leaves blow away from the car when you start it up. Everything gets out of the way of a Chevy V-8.
Wow! what a beauty! Thanks for this video!
I love your collection, dude
