1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

Description

THIS IS AN EXTREMELY NICE, UNMOLESTED FIRST YEAR MONTE CARLO. THE MILEAGE IS THE ACTUAL MILES AT THE TIME THE AD WAS PLACED. SINCE MOST CARS OF THIS ERA NEEDED COMPONENTS REBUILT BY ABOUT 100K MILES, ALL THIS HAS BEEN DONE EARLY AND DESCRIBED BELOW.
THIS RE-PAINT (FROM ORIGINAL)WAS APPLIED TO A RUST FREE, STRAIGHT BODY WITH NO PATCH PANELS. THERE WASN'T EVEN ANY RUST UNDER OR AROUND THE WINDOWS OR TRUNK.
PAINT WAS APPLIED IN THE ORIGINAL COLOR "CLASSIC WHITE". IT WAS COLOR SANDED AND POLISHED TO A GLOSSY FINISH AS SHOWN IN THE PICTURES. THE VINYL TOP IS IN LIKE NEW CONDITION. THE ONLY SLIGHT BLEMISH IS A TINY BUMP ABOUT THE SIZE OF A BB (A PARTICLE OF SOMETHING) THAT PROBABLY GOT STUCK IN THE GLUE WHEN TOP WAS AFFIXED. IT IS IN PHOTO #11 ON THE RIGHT SIDE BUT ISN'T VISIBLE DUE TO SIMILAR TEXTURE IN THE VINYL.
THE GAPS ARE FACTORY CORRECT AND ALL RUBBER SEALS WERE REPLACED; WINDOWS, DOORS, TRUNK, ETC.
ALL OF THE CHROME, STAINLESS, ALUMINUM BODY TRIM AND EMBLEMS ARE EXCELLENT - SHINEY AND NO CORROSION.
NEW WINDSHIELD.
FACTORY OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT: 4-SEASON AIR CONDITIONING, 300 HP TURBO-FIRE 350 V8 (UPGRADED DURING REBUILD), POWER TRUNK OPENER, BELT TRIM MOLDINGS, SOFT-RAY TINTED GLASS, TURBO HYDRA-MATIC, COMFORT- TILT STEERING COLULM, AM-FM STEREO (INCLUDED - NOW UPGRADED), FRONT AND REAR BUMPER GUARDS, AUXILIARY LIGHTING, DUAL EXHAUST SYSTEM (UPGRADED), HEAVY DUTY RADIATOR AND BATTERY (NEW DIE HARD BATTERY INSTALLED 11-15-21), CUSTOM DELUXE SEAT AND SHOULDER BELTS, RALLY WHEELS, 4 RUBBER FLOOR MATS (INCLUDED).
THE INTERIOR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION THROUGHOUT. THE DASH, DASHPAD, SEATS, DOOR PANELS, HEADLINER AND CARPET ARE FACTORY CORRECT AND WITHOUT RIPS, TEARS, WORN SPOTS, ETC.
THE ENGINE IS THE OPTIONAL 300 HP, 350 CI  FOUR BOLT MAIN, WITH HIGH NICKEL CONTENT BLOCK. IT WAS REBUILT TO 325-350 HP ABOUT EIGHT YEARS AND 8,000 MILES AGO. THE CAM IS NOT AGGRESSIVE; IDLES NICE AND RUNS WELL ON REGULAR GAS. I INSTALLED A "PERTRONIX IGNITOR II" ELECTRONIC IGNITION AND COIL,ELIMINATING NEED TO CHANGE POINTS.
TRANSMISSION REBUILT AND RESEALED DURING 2022, NO LEAKS AND OPERATES PERFECTLY.
DIFFERENTIAL GEAR RATIO IS 3:31-1 AND HAS FRESH CLEAN GEAR LUBE, NO NOISES, LEAKS OR PROBLEMS.
IT IS NOT POSITRACTION.
I REPLACED THE RADIO WITH A "CUSTOM AUTO SOUND"  MODEL USA-740 THAT APPEARS AS A NEAR STOCK RADIO BUT HAS BLUETOOTH AND PLUG-INS FOR FLASHDRIVES, MP3 AND IPOD PLUS AM-FM RADIO. IT IS CONNECTED TO FRONT AND REAR SPEAKERS.
BRAKES ARE FACTORY FRONT DISC, REAR DRUM IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
TIRES: I HAD THE RED LINE TIRES CUSTOM MADE BY DIAMONDBACK TIRE COMPANY USING BF GOODRICH RADIAL T/A RAISED WHITE LETTER TIRES. TO MY SPECIFICATIONS, I HAD THE BLACKWALL SIDES SMOOTHED AND THE REDLINE BONDED TO IT. I HAD THEM PUT THE PROTECTIVE BLUING OVER THE WHITE LETTER SIDE. TIRES PURCHASED 9-21-21 AT A OF COST OF ,360. WITH ONLY ABOUT A THOUSAND MILES ON THEM, THEY ARE REVERSABLE IF THE RAISED WHITE LETTERING IS PREFERRED.
FRONT END SUSPENSION COMPONENTS REBUILT, EXCELLENT CONDITION, PLUS FRONT END ALIGNMENT.
FACTORY STEERING BOX FRESHENED TO FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS.
EXHAUST IS 2 1/2 INCH  WITH CROSSOVER PIPE, WALKER SUPER TURBO MUFFLERS AND FACTORY CORRECT OVAL EXHAUST TIPS.
I HAVE OWNED MANY HARDTOP COVERTIBLES OVER THE YEARS AND THIS ONE HAS THE BEST FITTING WINDOWS AND THE LEAST AMOUNT OF WIND NOISE OF ANY THEM. THIS MONTE CARLO STARTS RIGHT UP COLD WITHOUT HESITATION.
IT DRIVES, STEERS, HANDLES, PERFORMS AND STOPS AS A CAR OF THIS QUALITY SHOULD.
ALL OF THE FACTORY GAUGES AND WARNING LIGHTS WORK. SPEEDOMETER IS ACCURATE, CHECKED WITH GPS AND HIGHWAY RADAR WARNING SIGNS. THE SAFETY ITEMS: LIGHTS, HORN TURN SIGNALS, PARKING BRAKE, WINDHIELD WIPERS, MIRRORS AND SEAT BELTS ARE GOOD AND OPERABLE.
ALL OF THE ORIGINAL PARTS THAT WERE REMOVED WILL GO WITH THE CAR.  INCLUDED ARE THE ORIGINAL RADIO - IT WORKS, OWNERS MANUAL, NEW RADIO MANUAL, FOUR RUBBER FLOOR MATS, LEFT OVER BODY PAINT AND MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
I KEEP THIS CAR IN MY GARAGES WHERE IT IS REGULARLY DRIVEN LOCALLY. MAINTENANCE IS ALWAYS KEPT UP TO DATE, INCLUDING OIL CHANGES, LUBES, CHANGING ANTIFREEZE AND FLUSHING THE BRAKE FLUID SYSTEM.
THIS IS A  CAR THAT IS EASY FOR ANYONE TO DRIVE AND NOT TEMPERMENTAL. IT HAS THE POWER AND GEARING TO BE ENJOYABLE AT FREEWAY SPEEDS OR IN HEAVY CITY TRAFFIC. THE FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING BLOWS VERY COLD.
