I was a NMCOA member many years ago. I owned a 71 daily driver back in the day and in from the mid 80s thru 2010 I had a 70 that we used on weekends and car shows. Miss them both. The 70 was starting to need more work than I could do. Nicest car I’ve ever owned. Nice to see this great video. Brings back some great memories.
I miss my 1970 Monte. Took out the 350 and put in a built 406 with around 400hp in the early 90s. Changed the color from navy blue to the shade of blue the mid 80s IROC-Z Camaros had. Had the old school 5 slot mag wheels from my brother's '69 Chevelle. I had a video of the Monte but my old YT account got banned so I lost the video.
I drive a '72 in the 80s in high school. I had bought a 400 small block to put in it but moved away to college and sold the car and the 400. But everyone liked it and was a very nice car.
I had a 1972 Monte Carlo that was Mulsanne blue, no vinyl top, black interior, bench seat, 350 2bbl, with Appliance slot wheels. When I let it go, it had a 454 4bbl, 400 turbomatic transmission. This video is awesome.
I had a 77 with a 350 but I always wished it was a 72 as that was the year I was born. The 77 was still nice though ran smoothly and it wasn't fast off the line it would absolutely fly on the highway. It's so cool 77 had a lot of the same features like wood grain interior trim on the doors, dash and around the Gages. It was white w blue vinal half top. It had the rally wheels w Tha caps.
I bought the blue 72 @ 2:25 mark about 7 months ago. Had to do some electrical work on it and found out the dash and center console wasn't properly mounted. No screws!😆 Alls good though. It's great mechanically and gets all the looks! Love it. It only sees sunny days.
God bless the 71 Monte Carlo my Uncle Joe swag Mitchell had this car it was gold with the skirts on it and had the console in the middle of the front seats and another Uncle who had one that was black these cars are still the test of time and still look good today American muscle nothing like it great to see 🙏💪👍😎🇺🇲
Man the times I had in a green Monte just like that one.mine had no trouble roasting the back tires off!!!!and plenty of room in that back seat too!!!!
This brings back memories I used to own and it's going to be hard for you to believe a 1970 Monte Carlo the color was that like marina blue bottom black vinyl top blue interior it was a 350 two-barrel with no power steering and it was a three-speed standard on the column now there is a rare combination which they still owned it however a friend of mine still does
I had a 1970 model my mother got for me in the tenth grade and like and ass I gave the car to my brother and I have been kicking my butt for that foolish thing I did
All I have ever driven as an everyday car since 1974 is ONE of my '72's..... They all lack over 26 sensors though. No Catalytic converters either.. I mean not even a Check Engine Light. No one now a days can believe that... and people today, thinks there are electronics to break down on them also. I actually know a guy who believes I spend thousands of dollars a year just to keep them running....
This was back when GM could actually design cars with style and class. Now all they produce are cookie cutter Toyota look-alikes that aren't worth owning.
