DESCRIPTION
1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Hardtop
For consignment, a 1972 Monte Carlo showing 1,569 miles, but the true miles are unknown. This one received a frame off restoration and includes the numbers matching drivetrain and now presents as a near impeccable example of a favored car in the hobby. They are hot sellers here at the Mall, so make like an impala, and hop through this description quickly before calling!
Exterior
Two stage Oasis Green now adorns the panels of this car, some of which are new including the quarters and fenders and while some had the vinyl roof, this hardtop sport coupe has a solid, and of course, color matched roof and c-pillar. The rocker trim is noteworthy and is continuous through the application of wheel opening trim, and connections to the tabs of the wrap around bumpers. While your eyes are down this low, you\'ll note the 15-inch Chevrolet Rally wheels with mirror like trim rings and 245/60R15 tires with a late 2020 date code. Up front, single headlights flank an egg crate grille and along with the vertical tail lights and dual exhaust tips, can look pedestrian one minute, and muscle car aggressive the next, depending on how you view it! Imperfections include some bubbles, a ding, and a scratch on a low panel near the rocker trim.
Interior
Nice black grain vinyl forms the door panels, column stitched and button backed and including a door pull and electric window switches. The black loop carpet underfoot is in good condition too, under high back black vinyl buckets that share color, condition, and materials with the minty rear bench. For a classy touch common at the time, a simulated burl walnut faceplate is complete with all the buttons, knobs, and levers with a band on the steering wheel for congruency. There\'s a vacancy for the radio and an A/C panel in the middle along with vents and idiot lights. The wood transverses to the center console under the horseshoe shifter, designed no doubt, by boyhood dreams. Overhead, we note a beautifully tight headliner in impeccable condition while the trunk is barren and clean and houses a spare.
Drivetrain
New belts and hoses now accompany the rebuilt, numbers matching 350ci L65 V8, rated at 165 horsepower, found in super clean condition and augmented by a power master cylinder in gold. Behind it, the numbers matching TH350 3-speed automatic transmission, also addressed during restoration, sending power to the 12 bolt axle with 3.31 gears.
Undercarriage
It\'s been about 1,000 miles since restoration according to our consignor and the condition of the bottom supports those claims, it\'s fantastically clean. There\'s a drop of oil on the flywheel cover and not much else to report! Dual exhaust runs through stock style mufflers, then exits through square chrome tips out back. The power brakes are configured as front disc and rear drums and wheel components are spotless underneath as are the knuckles. Suspension is comprised of coil springs up front and in the back, accompanied by a 4 link.
Drive-Ability
Let\'s set the time machine for 1972 and take a seat in this nearly showroom fresh interior, start the original engine, and row that original transmission to Drive as we move this lean, green machine onto the test loop. A solid runner with straight tracking, nice turn in, good braking, and a comfortable ride! We note the clock and rear defogger don\'t work but all other functions work as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
The work has been done for you! She\'s restored and mostly original and this attractive body style elicits more interest and salivating than at any other time, other than when they were rolled onto Chevy dealership floors. What were commuter cars then, are classics today. Put some green down on this green Monte and make it yours!
