1970 Monte Carlo stored for 20 years brought back to life - Flying Wheels - 

Facts

1st guess!! I wanted to hear peoples guesses

BELZAZAR SALAZAR, You might be right here, Headlight dimmer switch👍

People can still guess, 😬

On my 67 Chrysler that’s switched changed the radio stations

@@MrImperial67 No it didn't silly, LOL.

Oh yeah, my Grandfather could have paid $400 more and gotten the SS package with a 454 and handling modifications and a few other features . I have read you could order it with a stick shift if the dealer intervened on your behalf. That $400 extra would mean a car worth 5x as much as the base 250hp model. I can see my grandmother telling him don't even think about it, $400 was a lot more money back then. You could buy 2 door 1957 Chevrolet Belairs for $1000 back then.

bigmars cook channel They should of used the correct Rally Wheel Silver Paint to be correct but they didn’t from what I can see.

@@ffas23 yeah, I think it devalues the car a little

It also has 8” Corvette Rally Wheels from a C3 Corvette on it. The factory Monte Carlo Rally Wheels were 7” from the factory.

The 350 cars with AC also have the 4 bolt radiator hold down. The seats and visors are also from a '71 or '72. This car was originally column shifted and a bench seat car.

There were 545 made for 1970 with 3 on the tree. That was the base transmission. All others were ordered with an optional transmission.

What is your source?

@@danjanes8689 GM

​@@jonirwin7316Post a GM link stating that. I've never found one.

The '70 350 with a Quadrajet was advertised as 300 hp.

Says it's numbers matching

​@@tomcat630Numbers matching just means it has the original motor.

@montestu5502 Forward of the firewall, everything is '70, except the hood spear. Fenders, core support, grille, headlight bezels and fender extensions, and bumper are all '70 exclusive. The hood is also '70. It's the only one that had the washer nozzles at the back edge of the hood. The washer hose routing through the firewall is also exclusive to 1970 models. The taillights and the lack of a trunk lock bezel are 1970 only. It looks like someone changed almost everything in the interior to the '71/'72 interior, including the steering wheel and the visors. The dome light is '70 exclusive. The dash cluster has the gear indicator , indicating the car was originally column shifted. The console is from a Chevelle or El Camino. This car was originally a bench seat car.

@@danjanes8689 - I say that it’s a 1971 hood unless they drilled a hole in it to accommodate the hood ornament that has a spring attached to the Monte Carlo emblem versus the 1970 that does not. I doubt anyone would do that. I also have a 1970 Monte with a 1971 hood, presumably from an accident before I purchased it.

No, it's the dimmer switch. Washer button is on the wiper switch.

@@danjanes8689 you are probably right, but you also made me realize that I made that comment 5 years ago… didn’t even remember I made that comment. The power of the Internet. Cheers!

The Montes and Chevelles are both A-body mid-size models. The Caprice and Impala were the full size cars.

Swivel bucket seats didn't debut until the '73 model.

No. Dimmer switch.

Juan Molina how much would you pay for one? There one for sale with a 6.0 in Texas

@@jovanygarcia7584 all depends

It was originally column shifted and it has a Chevelle/El Camino console. It's been converted to bucket seats.

Car has 1970 grille and headlight bezels. It's a '70 with '71 hood ornament. Says it's "numbers matching". Easy to change hood ornament and add sunroof back then.
