Factory Big block LS3 Motor

Early Triple Black 1970 LS3 Big Block Monte Carlo

Just in time for summer cruising with only 60+ miles on a two year intensive frame on restoration.

1970 was the first year for the Monte Carlo. only a little over 7. 00 Montes built in 1970 came with the 402 CID LS3 Turbo Jet big block 330 hp motor.

Factory options include: Power steering. power front disc rear drum brakes. tilt wheel. AM-FM Stereo. full gauge dash and very cold A/C.

The car also has a Halo vinyl top. The halo vinyl top stops short of the top of the windshield. only the early to mid 1970 Montes  had this.   It was changed midyear so the top comes all the way to the windshield.  

The motor has been completely rebuilt and some mild power upgrades have also been added.   It's also been detailed out very nicely.

Power is fed through the original Turbo Hydromatic 400 automatic transmission to a factory original 12 bolt Positraction 3. 31:1 rear differential.

The body is rust free and laser straight. it was completely stripped to bare metal.   The passenger rear quarter was replaced due to a very poorly done past repair.   After weeks of massaging the body to assure it was perfectly straight. new black basecoat/clearcoat paint was applied.   It is just absolutely stunning.

The gaps are perfect all the way around and the doors open and close perfectly.  

All the stainless trim was straightened and days were spent highly polishing them to a mirror finish.   New lower rocker molding. lower body moldings and wheel opening trim were installed.   In addition new door handles. new rear bumper and all new weather strip.

New tinted windshield. door glass. back glass. drivers quarter glass. window felts and rubber seals.

The factory A/C has been completely rebuilt and blows very cold air.   New compressor. hoses. dryer. condenser and expansion valve.   The POA valve was also calibrated for use with R134.   Also under hood is a new wiper/washer motor. washer fluid bottle. battery and new inner fenders.

Five new 15x8 rally wheels. beauty rings and center caps with Goodyear tires.   Factory bumper jack properly mounted in the restored trunk.

The interior was restored with new upholstery. and cushions on the front and rear seats.   New front seat backs and trim.    New carpet and sound deadener.   New sill plates.   New door panels. rear side panels. headliner. dome lamp and sail panels. New front and rear speakers and package tray.  All the door handles. window cranks. rear view mirrors. hanger hooks. arm rest pads and lock knobs are new.   New brake pedal pad and accelerator pedal.

The dash pad was restored. the dash was removed from the car. cleaned detailed and reinstalled.   The dash has full gauges and even a working clock!

The front suspension and steering have been restored including a new drag link and shock absorbers along with a fresh alignment.   Rear shock were also installed.   All the bumper brackets were sandblasted and painted.

The grill is the original and has some flaws.

These cars have been called a bankers hot rod or a Chevelle with a tuxedo.  

She starts every time and drives perfectly.   She is very civilized and comfortable for cruising but will step up and be a brute when demanded!  This car is just a whole lot of fun!

I strongly urge you to come inspect this beauty. you will not be disappointed.   Contact me with any questions and I will respond as quickly as possible.
