also had a 73 right after high school graduated in 83 best car I ever had it was a forest green beautiful
Great cruisers Robert
I drove a ‘73 Monte Carlo when I had an extended stay in the US in the mid ‘80’s. It had ratty white bodywork that I did my best to sort out but was perfect mechanically. Loved driving around in a big American car with a 5.7L V8 engine for a few months. Bit disappointing to have to come back to a small car with a 1.0L engine when I got back to the UK!
Very cool, thanks Fair Play Now!
Love the 73 Monte Carlo.. I Had two back in the late 70s..
Danf 313. Around 1990 i had the chance to buy a '73 landau edition bucket seats (swivel), 5.7 4 bbl , if course auto on the floor, white exterior burgandy top, had the economy gauge with the full gauge package, ralleys i remember it had 80,000 miles on the clock. It was offered to me for $1,000 bucks. At the time i was a nova nut owning a '74 Nova Hatchback "Spirit of America" edition. Took the monte out for a drive ran great tried the A/C all the options it came with it. I failed to mentioned that option in my comments. After finding out how many SOA novas built in '74 i hated to let it go & kept the Nova.
I had a 73 that looked the same. This was back in 1986. Bench seats, they’re the best.
Yup slide your honey up close
@@samspace81 Yeah that’s what I meant 😜
I need that car right now LOL unbelievable
You'd look good in it ha
This beauty is mine now :-) took 2 months shipping it to copenhagen. The "thumpy" idle was not intentional, the gasket between carburator and intake was leaking, so it got "false air"
But otherwise the car is in immaculate condition....absolutely amassing after 45 years :-)
That was a great car Jesper! Keep in touch, follow me on Samspace81 facebook page
This 1973 Monte Carlo was "CAR OF THE YEAR",... Ive owned a few, they drive GREAT.... Better than a Cadillac.
Yes indeed, really appreciate you watching the Samspace81 classic car channel & commenting
Gorgeous ride. Miss my triple black ‘74.
Sounds plush
It's nice to see these. I had a 74 Landau that just like this except with factory spoke wheels. I Never see these cars on the road anymore. I don't know why because in 74 they were everywhere!
Wonderful, appreciate you watching!
@@samspace81 You bet!
My parents had a 73 navy blue monte carlo with a white landau top. Swivel bucket seats inside with factory installed 8 track player.
Love that, thanks for sharing :)
Man! My cousin had one these back when we were in high school back in 81'. Same color but, the interior was black with the swivel bucket seats! Loved cruising that sweet car up and down Camp Bowie Blvd. That was the strip back then in Fort Worth, Tx.
Yup swivel seats and a very willing 350 small block 😋
Good stuff, thanks 😊
Amazing how much better these Chevy's look now, as they did back in the day.
So true
makes todays car look very sad, Beautiful :)
I totally agree
My first car was a 74'. Lime green with half vinyl top. Loved it.
Love that lime color combo
I had that car exactly. Same color same engine same interior. Wish I still had it. Got smoked at an intersection. Drunk driver never stopped at stop sign. Also have 70, 2-71's and 72.
Thanks Mark, sorry to hear that. Idiot 16 year old rear ended me and lost my sweet ride too in 2020
love this car I had a 77 Monte with a silver gray landau same color and red wine interior swivel bucket seate350 4 barrel I owned it for 10 years I'm sorry I let it go best car I ever owned
I had one of these. It dieseled so bad i'm surprised the engine didn't' fall out before I sold it. Handled GREAT tho, despite it being a 350 that wouldn't get out of its own way! Fantastically beautifully design tho.
Right on
So nice, so elegant. Sport/luxury. I had one same color black landau top, factory spoke hubcaps, 454 but it was a 1974. I miss it.
Yes! Love Monte Carlos. I appreciate you watching Samspace81
73 monte w/ that color combo - SWEET !!!
I had a 73 Color yellow with white seats. My first car.
Great cars
my dad had a 73 when I was a child. metallic blue with a white vinyl top.
Wow I was about to make the same comment. My dad had the same color and white vinyl top as well. He got teary eyed when he had to get rid of it because he couldn't afford to fix it, I still remember when it got towed away back in the 80's.
Sharp looking Monte
Appreciate you checking it out, Tyler
I love that car - it is so beautiful
Great Monte
Beautiful Vehicle!
Yes indeed!
Now, there is my memory Sam with the 350. That Monte is sharp!
nice car, always liked the 2nd generation Monte Carlo's a lot, I think the sport mirrors add a lot to this car.
People love the 2nd generation I've learned. I like the rounded headlamps myself. Thanks for the comment and enjoy the channel.

I'll take that body style of the 1973-77 Chevy Monte Carlo even if it had different bumpers as long as it parts are available restoration and performance parts
I like the round headlights

Great car in its day. I had two of them both the same color one of them was a special order vehicle had a 454 in it

My Dad was in the market for a Monte until he saw the Grand Prix. Both very nice cars. I wasn't disappointed at all.
This Monte sounds great and beautiful
Where can I watch the sister car you mentioned
I will have it filmed in a few weeks. It is a very low mileage documented example. I love Grand Prixs too, Model J baby! Thanks for the comment, subscribe to my channel and you'll get notified when I post up another video. Thanks for the support.
Beautiful & unmolested
It really is. Wait till you see its sister car! Thanks for the comment and enjoy the channel.

Nice car man.
I worked with a guy in Midland with an identical car ! nice!
haha cool! This one is real nice, will be on EBAY soon
His did have the swiveling seats though, my cousin the on
e who lives in Flowermound had a 73 Chevy Laguna for many years,swivel seats its basically the same car as the Monte Carlo mehanically,it even had the same dash, it was that pea green color so many GMs were painted, it was a pretty good car, they are kinda rare these days.
Midland ontario.. ad in worked with me? Weird.. clause mind has swirling seats...
My dad had a 74-75 Monte Carlo back in da dayz sweet personal luxury at that time thurderbird , cougar DA Lincoln Mark's was going At it.
Why did he put that plastic water bottle on top of the air filter case? Did that suppose to give it more horsepower or something. I know he didn't drink that water in that bottle afterwords!
Shows how smooth the engine runs, its his signature move man. Thanks for following Samspace81, warm water for all
I have one for sale same color 4500firm
Cool
Does it have headers?
No it did not, was bone stock car
How many hp does a 1979 Chevy Monte Carlo has??
About 145 HP from a 305 V8.
Yup
Niiice.
Memorable Monte
What color red is that? Does it have a name? :)
Well, according to this website, it's simply called Dark Red: paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcodedisplay.cgi?year=1973&con=y&model=Monte%20Carlo&rows=50
Why doesn't it have swivel seats
Love that option
absolute float.
Right? haha
if dodge can being back the charge with its 120 inch wheelbase and the challenger with its 116 inch wheelbase, tell chevy to scrap the SS and bring this montecarlo back with its 116 inch wheelbase!
Things a boat.
Nicholas Hillyer In it's day it was classified as an intermediate size car.
*My 1973 Monte Carlo was black with vanilla interior. It had swivel bucket seats. You pulled a lever and the seat turned 90 degrees to let you get out in comfort. This car isn't a true representation. So sad!!*
Appreciate you sharing, it's a very clean original car
The only thing I'll add, and, sadly, is that as good looking ad these vehicles were/are, All domestic & most foreign carmakers built there cats shoddily beginning around 1973 and continuing into the early to mid 2000s. And while the foreign vehicles got better mileage back in those days, they were still built like shit, just like American cars were. I have a 1977 Monte Carlo; Bought it "almost new" in January, 1978. Kept it in our heated garage, never drove it in winter, and by 1981, the paint had faded on it. You had to take extremely good care of these, or...they prematurely rusted and fell apart(in Northern climates). Great "looking" vehicle; Very shabbily built. Beginning in the 1990s, foreign vehicles started being built better, built American built vehicles, were *still* being built like shut. The "Big Three" noted foreign completion hurt them, and...it did, but that is mainly because the Big 3 continued to built shit...into the 1990s. Can you say "Cavalier"???
Another great comment, thanks Maverick 1957. I appreciate your viewership & subscription to Samspace81 TH-cam channel
Love the car!!!! Audio is garbage.
I didn't have you to do it for me, oh great critic. Thanks for watching
In general...most vehicles today are just...ugly. Period. The demise of "looks"(in some, not all)of vehicles began in 1978, & over the years, just got worse. Today, most vehicles look uninspired & bland. Of course, this includes ALL SUVs, ALL crossovers and almost all autos. Sad!
Agreed
