1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

"American Comfort, European Handling, they meet in Monte Carlo" claimed the advertising for 1972. Ad men were illustrating the cars so they could take liberties with perspective and lengths as well as proportions in these ads, and they did, willfully. Although the customer could make their way to the GM showroom, and under no pressure (sic) make their own decision!

For consignment, a 1972 version of the Monte Carlo which is a numbers matching car, has Protect-O-Plate and the factory build sheet. The engine was rebuilt and bored .030 over plus comes with documentation of said rebuild. An all-original interior (save for the carpeting which is new), and all looking great!

ExteriorThis 1972 Monte Carlo and it is clean with Sequoia Green paint that is inviting you to take a deep dive into it with your eyes. Plenty of nicely preserved chrome trimmings to put this car in a class where it will grow on you. An egg crate grille, single headlights, a rear bumper that works with the rear quarter to house the taillights and there is nothing but sweetness from 1972 here on the Classic Auto Mall floor. Not to mention the straight panels and well minded gaps, we can serve up plenty for your satisfaction. Including all the trimmings around the glass and on the body edges. 15 inch rally wheels are on all 4 corners, and are wrapped in BFG raised white letter rubber all around.

Interior Nice green vinyl showing in faux leather formed panels separated by buttons, on the high back buckets and it also covers the door panels. A clean door pull and opening handle and armrest are on as well so now we can move to the dash! To add some class is a nicely preserved burl walnut appliqu dash, complete with all the buttons, knobs and levers for the drivers visual and comfort. A radio has been removed and a wood rimmed steering wheel is fronting the dash. A sleek center console has a jet pilot throttler looking shift lever and a storage space on back that doubles as an armrest. Nice new green carpet flooding the bottom. On top we note a beautifully tight headliner with no marks on it with a large near showroom bench across the back of the car below this headliner.

DrivetrainNow blessing the engine bay is a numbers matching rebuilt 402ci V8 which has been bored .030 over. Also, a Comp cam has been added in, (.515i/.520e lift 224i/230e duration). A single 4-barrel factory carburetor is atop the nice orange/red block and valve covers. Hoses are supple and there is no corrosion to be seen, just a bit of dust. A 3-speed TH400 automatic transmission is on back and a 12-bolt 2.73 rear is noted. All numbers matching and all nice.

UndercarriageNice and clean, all black and shiny and structurally sound underneath. All have the looks of a new coating of black underneath. Independent coil springs, and 4 link with coil springs are seen. Power disc brakes are on front and power drums on the rear. Also, a new exhaust system is on and features Pypes Mufflers.

Drive-AbilityA super quick starter, nice driver, smooth runner, good handler, and an overall nice car. Love the green, and green combo as well as all the chrome trimmings they put on back then! Also, a good cruiser and safe stopper. The A/C needs a charge, all else is green and go!

An early 1970's color, well preserved with no frowns, it's a turnkey car for sure. A beautifully rebuilt and more power added 402ci and all numbers matching.
