Had a BN 72 & a growing family needing more room got it traded for a family sedan. Replaced it a coupla decades later with a big block MC & one of those kids I got rid of my first one for totaled it & walked away without a scrstch. I’ll soon be 72.

My friend had one in early 80's, 454 with swivel buckets. We had a couple of burn out contest, I had an Olds 455 that could leave long marks, but his roasted the tires with smoke. He won..😄 First time I had ever seen swivel buckets in a car, great option.

The specs sheet stated - of all options available this Monte Carlo had all of them available except for two. One of them was probably a sunroof, I wonder what the other one was? Maybe a passenger side sport mirror?🤔
The sunroof was not available from the factory, but rear seat shoulder belts were. Cruise control was not available with the SS454 package. Tilt column was optional, but thus car doesn't have it.

Correct! The horseshoe shifter was available from '68-'72 in Chevelles, El Caminos, Monte Carlos, Camaros, and Impalas. I'm the guy with the patent for my design of my detent plates that let you convert the horse shoe shifters to a True Slap shifter. My designs let you slap the handle for a positive 1-2 shift, and you can do the same slap again for the 2-3 shift. Unlike my competition, there's no need to squeeze the handle at all for either positive shift. I have them for 3 and 4 speed automatics, (with standard patterns and reverse patterns) and now I have them for some Buicks and Oldsmobiles. DPJ Fabricating, LLC. I have TH-cam videos that can easily be found by searching with the words True Slap detent. Thanks!

Just to set the record straight a Monte Carlo 454 SS was not called a banker's Chevelle. The term is "bankers hot rod" and many cars fell into that category such as the Chrysler 300, 427 Caprice and the Mercury Marauder. Big luxurious cars with big block high performance engines and dual exhaust.

It was on a different 71 video I watched too. It must be 71 SS correct. But should say SS in the center. 70 has the regular Monte steering wheel though
That is the factory steering wheel. On the buildsheet. This optional steering wheel was available on Camaros, Vegas, Chevelles and Montes. I even have the original tires (with tubes for display purposes only)
@@gprimm224 Sport Steering wheel. Lol I stopped it on the sticker/option sheet to double check as I've seen the standard wheel with Chevrolet script on one side or the other of the horn bar on other Monte's.
Alot of people think the 4 speed was available in Montes with the 454 in '70 and '71, but that's not true. I have a '70 SS454 and I've studied them extensively. I also had a '71 with a 402 big block and a 4 speed. What I've read about the 4 speed with a 454 was with Chevrolet having other cars being offered with a 4 speed and a 454, they decided to reserve the combination for Corvettes and Chevelles. The Monte Carlo was mostly marketed as more of a luxury car.
So 26 of 28 available options; Cruise wasn't available with the Load-Leveling System. So what's the only other option the car does not have???? $5,700 MSRP was practically Corvette money back then!
He could have ordered the passenger side rear view mirror. My buddy's has one factory. His father ordered all 28 options, plus some dealer installed extras, like cruise control and a sliding sunroof.

I'd really like to rip that - out and put some nice gauges in it there's another website on here that the guy converted his over to some nice updated gauges look really good
Chevrolet says the LS6 was never available for the Monte and history, so far, has shown this to be true. The highest horsepower they installed in the Monte was the LS5, 454. It had 360 hp in '70, and 365 hp in '71.

The ONLY way the 454 was available was by specifying option Z20 (SS454), ie., otherwise the LS3 (402) was as big as you could go.
3823 made with the SS454 package in 1970, and 1919 made in 1971. None after that. The 454 could still be had thru '75, but not the SS package.
My friend had one in early 80's, 454 with swivel buckets.
We had a couple of burn out contest, I had an Olds 455 that could leave long marks, but his roasted the tires with smoke. He won..😄
First time I had ever seen swivel buckets in a car, great option.
