1977 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Landau

Description

Rarely are time capsules this cool. A 1977 Chevrolet Monte Carlo all dressed in black and silver already has modern appeal. Plus, when you get to cruise this V8 coupe in A/C comfort, you'll realize that this is far more than just a low-mileage and affordable classic car.

This premium Monte Carlo just screams survivor from every angle that we investigate. It starts with the factory-correct black that we believe could be original on this one. The slick presentation does a great job of highlighting the long hood with curvaceous fenders, the sporty dipping line in the profile, and the angular rear end. And we bet the reason why the sheetmetal still looks this good today is because this one is believed to have averaged less than 730 miles over its lifetime. Plus, we know you love the details, like how the silver pinstripe matches the half vinyl roof. And the '70s was still a time for brightwork, so the chrome bumpers, full rocker trim, exclusive grille, and Monte Carlo hood ornament all continue to shine like mirrors. The finishing touch are those retro-cool turbine-style factory wheel covers.

The black interior is a great modern color that coordinates nicely with the exterior. The dual cloth benches don't have even a button missing from these original pattern seats. They seat up to six in total luxury, especially since the air conditioner was upgraded to R134a to keep it blowing ice-cold into modern times. The complete and pristine condition of the black dash, door panels, and even the carpeting makes this feel like a time machine. The driver gets a burled walnut simulated wood panel on the steering wheel, and that is repeated across the entire dash. While that adds to the Monte Carlo's upscale credentials, the round gauge package gives this a premium performance feeling, too.

Under the hood is a 305 cubic-inch V8. It has all the correct components, so it's hard not to believe this is anything but factory. And because this coupe has been taken care of quite well over its low-mileage lifetime, this V8 fires up easily and run very nicely. Chevy's famous small block has all the right torque to move this Monte with ease, and the three-speed automatic transmission shifts like a premium coupe should. This is Chevrolet's personal luxury statement, so you get great driving features such as power steering and front disc brakes.

Complete with owner's manual, take some time to look over the details of this Monte Carlo. You'll see a well cared for classic coupe that's looking for a new owner who understands that its affordability is really an invitation to be the new custodian of its history. Call today!!!
