1971 Chevrolet Monte Carlo for sale
Current customer rating:
() based on 44 votes
1971 was one of the peak years of the muscle car era, but if you're not into loud stripes and extroverted colors, this handsome 1971 Chevrolet Monte Carlo is an excellent choice. Sporting a great-running, numbers-matching 350 V8 small block, choice options, and a luxurious interior, this beautiful Cottonwood Green coupe is a great-looking original car that delivers plenty of punch under the hood. If a Chevelle is just a little too 'extra-ordinary' for you (in both curb appeal and price point), perhaps this classic Monte Carlo is a better fit.
As Chevy's big luxury cruiser coupe, the Monte Carlo looks ideal in more subtle, period-perfect finishes and the Code 42 Cottonwood Green paint is both period correct and quite fashionable today. The bodywork and paint were done a few years ago and it still present well with a great driver-quality presentation and only minor signs of age and use. It shines up beautifully, letting the clean Monte Carlo shape speak for itself and overall the car has a very honest and traditional look that befits its stature at the top of the Chevrolet hierarchy. It's not a show-winner anymore (at least not past the local level), but it still turns heads, and the majority of the blemishes found could likely be remedied with a professional buff-and-wax over a long weekend. The chiseled Monte Carlo look was pretty sophisticated for 1971, with a subtle ornamentation complementing the bodywork and muscular-looking quarters that made this personal luxury coupe look anything but tame. Chrome is very good and the stainless has been well maintained, with the billet-style factory grille and hood ornament at the forefront leading the way in the 'wow' department. The oversized bumpers with integrated lights are a Monte Carlo staple, as are those beautifully designed taillights out back, and the dark green vinyl top provides great contrast and a hint of formality to the big coupe. Rocker panel trim and wheel arch moldings do a great job breaking up the see of green, and the dual exhaust pipes exiting underneath the rear bumper let everyone know this isn't Granny's grocery-getter.
The Jade bench seat interior is very clean, with a nice mixture of original and restored pieces that are a perfect complement to the exterior. Period-perfect vinyl seat covers replace the drab cloth that originally covered the bench seats, matching carpets on the floors are the correct pile and plush, while items like the stock door panels, taut headliner, crack-free dash, and clean package tray out back all tie the cabin in together and make this Monte Carlo a very comfortable place in which to spend some time. You'll also note that this car carries optional and rare factory A/C (blows cold!) and all that burled walnut (who cares if it's fake?) that gives the interior a very upscale look. The only modern addition inside is the Sony AM/FM/CD stereo in the center of the dash, and the seatbelts fore and aft were likely added during the restoration as well, but not many will complain about those upgrades, as they fit so well with original pieces like the steering wheel and column shifter. One of the virtues of a full-sized car is the giant trunk, which carries a nicely fitted floor mat and a full-sized spare with jack.
The original, numbers-matching 350 cubic inch V8 still lives under the hood and it's a great complement to the Monte Carlo's sporting image. With a smooth idle and big torque, it moves the Monte Carlo effortlessly with a fantastic muscle car soundtrack from the mellow-sounding dual exhaust below. The original engine bay is fairly neat and tidy, although not overly detailed, featuring Chevy Orange paint on the block and valve covers, a correct snorkeled air cleaner, and a Quadrajet 4-barrel carburetor and stock intake manifold up top. Plenty of maintenance and regular service throughout the years means that it starts easily and runs great, but it doesn't stray far from the original setup. The A/C uses it's original components and is still blowing cold, and power steering and power front disc brakes are, of course, standard equipment. The TH350 3-speed automatic transmission shifts like it should and feeds a sturdy 12-bolt rear end with highway-friendly gears inside. Flashy American Racing Torque Thrust wheels and 245/45/17 front and 275/40/17 rear blackwall radials complete the look that neatly blends performance and luxury in one package.
The day of the Monte Carlo can't be far off because cars this cool can't stay this affordable forever. Take advantage of this opportunity before another one slips by. Call today!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES: A documentation fee of $299 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT: We require a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers. SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure.
