The burled walnut appliques are still crisp and clear and a tilt steering column makes it easy to get comfortable. The gauge panel was similar to that found in a Chevelle (in fact, Monte Carlo dashes are often used to create fake SS Chevelles) and the gauges are in excellent condition with bright markings and needles. All the buttons on the tufted seats and door panels remain in place and the dash pad shows no cracking or UV damage. The interior appears to be almost entirely original, and if that's the case, you have a good idea of how much someone cared for it. A brand new brown padded vinyl roof gives it a formal look, with no signs of damage or rust underneath.Īlthough GM called the Monte Carlo a 'personal' luxury car, there's plenty of room inside. The details like the raised fenders are still crisp, the chrome and trim is in good condition and all the original badges and markings have been retained. The first generation Monte Carlo was a huge hit, and the aggressive fender flares, tidy proportions, and what might be the longest hood ever put on a General Motors two-door still look fantastic today. Panel alignment also suggests that this has always been an extremely clean car that needed no major surgery and original paint in the jambs proves that it has never been apart (it certainly feels tight). From almost any angle, it looks great and thanks to a recent repaint, it just glows in the sun. This very straight Monte Carlo looks downright perfect in code 63 Mohave Gold (yes, that's how Chevy spelled it) paint, which is both an ideal '70s color that fits the Monte's era, and a color that looks fairly in-style today. This nicely preserved 1972 Monte Carlo offers period-perfect good looks, a great-running big block, and an impressive documentation package that comes from just two owners. BIG BLOCK NUMBERS 402 V8, NICE RESPRAY, ALL-STOCK, LOADED W/ORIGINAL DOCS!!! Chevy's Monte Carlo has done it all, from the banks of Talladega to the show field.
