I had a 70 Monte Carlo in 78. I miss it still. The 70 had round turn signals in the bumper, 71 had long flat in bumper and 72 had them in the grill. All beautiful
I remember when they released those animals from Detroit in 1970. I was not of driving age at the time but I knew it was another bad ass Chevy making the scene. In H.S. a friend used to drive his momma SS Monte Carlo to school😁. At lunch we wold go to McDonalds and he would be burning rubber for 20 feet just stomping on it. That car also drove as good as it looked. Very comfortable riding car. It was black with vinyl top like this, same interior with the rally wheels but his was an automatic.
I'm about you're age & in his school in 74,a senior had a deuce cpe & a 70,454 Monte triple black. What a combo for an 18 yr old. I was working & making pmts on a 73 Trans Am. Those were the days. I'd love to have that Monte..
This is a beautiful Monte Carlo, from what you show here it's almost original. The hood is from a '71 Monte Carlo, and very easy to correct, it truly is a gem hopefully it stays in the U.S.
Yes this car is more rare than my SS 454 and I have seen one in white during my trip to the Dalles Oregon for the western branch of the 1st generation MC club
Nice car but last on the list especially in that era of muscle cars the El Camino was more of a muscle car than this thing this was a luxury car with a bunch of cool options
What the guy means is bench seat is very rare with the 4speed. I know i drove one to high school in bradenton florida. We had so much fun in that car. It had a 350 with 300hp.
My girl friend had one in high school. When we turned in curves the gas hand would read empty. I dont god i wish i could go back to those days. The 80'S were good.
I thought I was a Montecarlo expert, I never realized and have never seen one with a factory four-speed, the 70-72 model.. heck, come to think of it, never saw a 3 spd on the column either…. Thanks 😎
I had a '71 402 4 speed Monte. 1 of only 80 optioned that way in '71. I have a loaded '70 SS454 now that I've restored. The First Generation Monte Carlo Club website is an excellent resource.
A 4 speed could only be ordered and received in '70 and '71. The SS454 wasn't available with a 4 speed, but all of the other available engines could be ordered with a 4 speed. I bought my second '71 402, 4 speed a month ago.
@danjanes8689 a friend of mine in the Marines had a brown 71 w/ a 402 4 bbl. Almost a perfect car in my book. I had a Trans Am & I was a little envious sometimes
bought a new 1970 red monte carlo,402 4 speed with buckets and console,no air cond,was on dealers showroom floor for a couple months before i bought it
@chriskelly509 The Montes had a 4 speed option available for '70 & '71 with any of the available engines, except for the 454. The SS454 was only available with a TH400 automatic.
I noticed that hood ornament on the 70 that shouldn't have been there, too. I also noticed he didnt say factory 4 speed ! But at least they werent claiming it was an SS.
Yes, the Vigi-lite light monitoring system was an option available in 1970. The indicators on the fenders and in the package tray had fiber optic cable from them to the headlights, brake lights/turn signals so the driver could see all working. The package tray indicator was centered so the driver could see it in the rear view mirror. The factory installed 4 speeds were M20.
My 70 monte didnt have a hood ornament, Ive never seen any of the 1970 monte carlos with a hood ornament except this one in the video. must of been a rare option.
Hey Michael use to own that bowling alley where you are keeping those cars. He owns a strip club in Detroit called Centerfolds lol. That's on Milford rd just off M59lol
1st gen Monte Carlos never had those chrome signal indicators on the front bumpers. And the rally wheels vinal top and bench seats don’t make it rare. Only thing is that 4 speed. And if it isn’t in the vin and build sheets that’s just a nicely restored resto mod. Probably not worth as much as what they were selling it for. Nice car ! I would love to have it, but not for as much as they were probably pushing.
This car doesn't have signal indicators on the bumper. It has the vigi-lite option that has indicators on top of the fenders, and for Monte Carlos, they were an available option only for 1970. The option also includes an indicator that mounts on the package tray that can be viewed with the rear view mirror. The VIN for a '70 Monte Carlo gives no indication of what transmission the car was equipped with. That started in '72, but no 4 speeds were available after '71 in a first gen Monte.
How rare is it? I know where a 1970 green with black monte vynly top 4 speed bench seat, 402 big block, posi 12 bolt rear, numbers matching. None ac, manual windows is

From everything I just watched.they didn't make a 4 speed Monte carlo.unles as an example a dealership may have installed it for a customer.but it says general motors never made one..
What did you just watch? Chevrolet production records show there were 1428 4 speed Montes built for '70 and 349 built for '71. Mine is a '71 4 speed with matching numbers engine and transmission, the protect-o-plate, and the factory build sheet. 1 of 80 for '71 with a 402. 269 '71s had a 350.
I could have bought a 71 with the 402 bench seat 4 speed back in 85 in SF… it was blue from Texas and so clean… he was asking $2200 but I passed… ooops
@@chriskelly509 Montes for '70 and '71 were definitely factory built with 4 speeds. I've had one and I now have an SS454. My '70 and '71 dealer brochures show the 4 speed option availability.
@chriskelly509 I bought a '71 402/4 speed matching numbers Monte with the build sheet last summer. There were 1428 4 speeds factory built for '70, and 349 built for '71, with 80 of those being 402s.
Correct! No Straight 6 bever available the Monte. Smallest engine was the 350. But, all could have a 4 speed, except the SS. All 1970-1972 SS Monte's were LS-5. Never LS-6.
Not true at all. '72 was the first year you couldn't get a 4 speed in a Monte. I had a factory built '71 402 4 speed. You could get a 4 speed in '70 and '71 with any engine offered, except the 454.
@@kevinhlavati6285 Your understanding is in error. Like @Dan Janes I also had a 1971 Monte Carlo with factory 402 and factory 4 speed - documented with build sheet, vin numbers on engine block and trans matched the build sheet and vin on the dash. All original. Chevrolet did indeed build these in 1971.

Rare gem.
Hood ornament is from a 1971
THE HOOD IS FROM
I noticed that hood ornament on the 70 that shouldn't have been there, too.
I also noticed he didnt say factory 4 speed !
But at least they werent claiming it was an SS.
Exactly what I was gonna post.... 1971 hood ornament.
Just needs a 572" motor, a Tremec TKX, and a 3.73 posi diff out back...
I definitely want to go big block after this 383b.
That would just ruin it
And a grafted Cowl Induction hood.
@@norrinradd2214I remember driving my friend automatic 402 Monte. I'd never do that,that was one great driving car.Leave it be..

Exactly. The vast majority were bench seat cars.
Did you put sound proof matting on the floor
Awesome Chevy
Standard is the way to go..oh yeahhhh
Handle with care bro.
4 spd makes it rare. Didn't even know that was avail
It wasn't a popular option with the majority of Monte buyers, but some were ordered. I have one.
How much did she go for or did she sell? Beautiful machine
Maybe for a 4 speed
I wanna buy this MC 😅
That hood ornament is 71 model, 70 only had a spear.

The partial VIN on the transmission and the block is the way to verify if the engine and transmission match the car.
That’s not factory A/C as there would be vents where the “Cheverolet” emblem is above the heater controls.
