Introduced as a 1970 model, the first 1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo was a pet project of then Chevrolet General Manager John Z. DeLorean. Before taking the reins at Chevy, DeLorean had originated the trend-setting 1969 Grand Prix 'personal luxury coupe' at Pontiac. He had hardly settled into his new post before he began to advocate a Chevrolet comparable to the much-admired Grand Prix.
Like the Grand Prix, the Monte Carlo 116-inch wheelbase chassis and structure were based on GM's contemporary Fisher "A-body" intermediates. However, the clean, graceful lines of the first Monte Carlos were directly inspired by the 1967 Cadillac Eldorado, as were its proportions. The new Monte Carlo's hood, measuring a full six feet in length, would be the longest ever to appear on a Chevrolet.
HIGHLIGHTS:
350 cubic inch engine
TH350 automatic transmission
Upgraded 4-wheel power disc brakes
Rally wheels
Factory optional bumper guards front and rear
Quality re-paint in correct color
Edelbrock ESP intake manifold
Edelbrock AVS2 carburetor
12-bolt rear end
This handsome Monte Carlo is finished beautifully in its original paint color of Champagne Gold, accented by a black vinyl top. Enhancing this classic's looks are optional factory bumper guards both front and rear, as well as a set of Chevrolet rally wheels complete with correct center caps and trim rings wrapped with P235/70R15 Firestone Destination radial tires. The clean, restored black interior features a bench seat, power windows, air conditioning, original steering wheel, a back-up camera screen, cruise control, upgraded AM/FM/AUX/CD player radio and upgraded Bosch gauges carefully mounted in the factory locations to monitor oil pressure, volts and temperature.
Under the long hood is a healthy 350 cubic inch engine paired with a TH350 automatic transmission that sends power back to a 12-bolt rear end with an upgraded sway bar. The engine features an MSD Street Fire ignition, black Chevrolet logo valve covers, power steering, Edelbrock ESP aluminum intake, Edelbrock AVS2 carburetor, chrome open-element air cleaner and power brakes that operate an upgraded four-wheel disc brake system.
