1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

Description

Call it a survivor... Call it a time capsule... Call it the perfect '70s vehicle. This 1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo has survived over four decades without being changed, messed with, or even switching owners. This ultra low-mile coupe even still has ice-cold A/C!

See the amazing luster in the paint? Would you believe that's all original?! Yes, hard to consider, but the code-43 Gulf Green on this coupe shows all signs that it was applied 44 yeas ago at the Baltimore factory. The very '70s color has a few spots where it shows minor patina, but overall, resprays don't even come out as good as this carefully maintained coupe. So yes, the paint and chrome are as amazing as it looks in the pictures, and this is a fantastic example of a survivor Chevy. The panels are stunningly straight, so you know it was never parked close to a child's bike, other cars in the parking lot, or any other hazards. This has all the great hallmarks of classic American motoring, including the green vinyl roof, rally wheels, and a pillarless hardtop design (this was the last year it would appear on the Monte Carlos.)

This is Chevrolet's personal luxury car, so the interior came upscale and well-finished, and that's certainly still the case with this survivor car today. Dark green coordinates with the bodywork quite nicely, and the uniform appearance on the seats, carpeting, and door panels truly make this feel like a time machine. Nice pleated seats front and rear offer seating for six without much fuss, and the factory air is still blowing cold, so everyone can truly ride in comfort. The original optional AM/FM radio is still in place and works with help from an additional tuner. The driver gets a burled walnut simulated wood panel on the steering wheel, and that is repeated across the entire dash. While that adds to the Monte Carlo's upscale credentials, the round gauge package gives this a premium performance feeling.

The level of unmolested care with the car so far and the correct block casting number leads us to believe the 350 cubic-inch V8 under the hood is the original motor. Its honest appearance also leads us to believe its ultra low 51,250 miles on the odometer is fully accurate. This trusty small-block has the kind of power and plentiful torque to move this big coupe with ease. It keeps its comfortable cruising nature, with great driving features such as the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes.

You will likely never find a survivor that looks this good on such a desirable classic coupe. We even provide you with the title documentation to back up the one-owner story, so you can have proof for everyone from your friends, to car show judges. This Monte Carlo has spent decades quietly hiding, but now that this time capsule is out in the world, it will be going fast. Call today!!
