Rare SS

YUK! That black 70 should have gone for maybe $10k...Man! what a ROUGH CAR! Whoever bought it better be a body man / painter! Depending upon what's discovered once sanded down, I'm sure it would cost $25,000 just at the bodyshop!

I did not know that about the 71 Montes. My 70 SS has a black column btw Thanks

I'd be interested to know if mileage in fact was accurate.

70 SS for sale with 20,000 miles(?) hmmmm.... https://classics.autotrader.com/classic-cars/1970/chevrolet/monte_carlo/101851647

Attaboy for listening to those Spidey senses!

And the only paint color would be black on the steering column on an SS

While I agree with you, it hardly qualifies as disturbing the originality, there simply was no need to; I also really didn't want to remove or disturb anything, bc it was an original find and I was selling it that way. Even though the car was like a brand new Monte with so few miles, there was nothing otherwise very special. 1972 350 2 bbl. no AC, no power options. Now, if this were an SS, or a Custom...then we're talking!

This first car at top of post was actually my 8,000 mile (Mojave Gold) 72 Monte. I sold it to a fellow in British Columbia about 4 years ago when the odometer just turned to 11,000. I was going to make a post seeing if anyone knew why this very odd combination occurred? I do know this car is 100% original: it sat in garage for 34 Years and was never touched. I was curious about a build sheet when I owned the car, but never wanted to disturb the originality by removing the back seat, etc. The car's a living time capsule...why mess with it? Jeff 70SS

I too went directly to the good part. Funny though, at 17:17 when they say, "oh look, another car!" I thought it was a 70 monte, bc there were green door panels standing in foreground. They were actually green SHUTTERS! Those shutters do kinda resemble 70 monte door panels!

I found this seller online a few years ago and bought several items from him at very reasonable prices. He's a wealth of information & a very nice fellow to speak with. I was looking for factory GM NOS parts for my Monte and he really delivered! Grille emblem, hood spear and bumper guards. His name is Denver Gatrell, Berlin Center, Ohio 330-547-2139. Give him a try if you're looking for something specific. Jeff 70 SS

That's how most of them look! Like they've been underwater, but still work! I have a few others look the same.

SOLD!

Shipping to US would be just $45!

Shipping will be $45. Please let me know if interested. Jeff

I remember the thrill of going to the junkyard in the 80's and finding several Montes, Chevelles, (other classics) to pick thru. Once a month it was all you can physically carry to the front gate for $50! Go thru a yard today, and it's nothing but 4 door sedans and mini trucks! ahh...the good ol days!

I bought it from Gary Thorne. He restores power seat units.

But the peeled door sticker says 1969, lol

Its been completely taken apart, stripped, dipped, painted and rebuilt.

BUMP!! POWER BUCKET SEAT BRAND NEW REBUILT! Hi guys, am seeing if there's any interest here before I go to the Evilbay (or other!) I was going to put this into another Monte, but ended up selling it before I got the chance. This is a very rare factory option and is complete (with mounting brakets, harness and switch.) Also open to trades. Thanks, Jeff

looking forward to see how much Jared's old car sells for!

The emblem will not properly attach to the grille unless it is correct for the year. The mounting posts on back of emblem conflict with bars on grille. Here's the link to the Roman numerals for proper year.

Darren, ("Monte Meister") I appreciate your contributions to the forum and your advice over the past several years and looking forward to more! All the best to you and your family!

I too would love to havve seen a factory convertible made. In these days of 3D printing, etc I wonder if someone will come out with a retractable hardtop roof. (Neatly tucked away in the trunk of course!) Now THAT would be cool! Jeff 70SS

I truly doubt this was done at dealer from new. Who was doing that in 72? Chevelle interior, cutlass top, it's not a Monte anymore (IMHO) but is a nice car. Not my taste.... good luck to the seller

Shipping would be double that. Thank you for the offer though.
