1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

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. This handsome Monte Carlo is finished beautifully in Cranberry Red with a black interior. Enhancing this classic's looks as a set of 15-inch Chevrolet rally wheels complete with correct center caps and trim rings wrapped with Jetzon Revenger G/T white lettered radial tires staggered 235/60R15 front and 295/60R15 rear for just the right stance. The clean, black interior features desirable factory bucket seats, factory console with horseshoe shifter, factory-style four-spoke steering wheel, upgraded AM/FM/cassette radio and Auto-Gauge gauges mounted in the below the dash to monitor oil pressure, volts and temperature. Under the long hood is a healthy 454 cubic inch big block engine paired with a TH400 automatic transmission that sends power back to a 12-bolt rear end with an upgraded sway bar. The engine features chrome valve covers, power steering, Edelbrock Performer aluminum intake, Edelbrock carburetor, chrome open-element air cleaner and power brakes with front discs. A set of long-tube headers flow back through a rumbling dual exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers.
