The year 1977 may forever be remembered as the one in which the Chevrolet Monte Carlo was most like a deluded larger person. Okay, probably not, but there was one similarity: You know those people who tell everybody they are a size "medium," but still look bigger standing next to someone who is a "large"? Well, in 1977 the midsize Monte Carlo was bigger in every dimension than the full-size Caprice and Impala, as these cars had already become victims of the oil-embargo-induced diet that the Monte Carlo would endure the following year. For now, the Monte Carlo calling itself medium was a bit of an understatement.
The one thing already on a diet was the line of available engines. Down from four engine options in 1976 to three, selection was limited for the S coupe and Landau. The base engine was a 305-ci V8 rated at 140 horsepower, and an optional 2-barrel 350-ci V8 rated at 150 horsepower was also available (a 4-barrel 350-ci V8 rated at 160 hp was standard for California cars). Those thirsting for more power could upgrade to a 4-barrel 400-ci V8 rated at 180 horsepower. These powerplants were anemic compared to former years, but still a lot of power for 1977.
The Monte Carlo emblem became a hood ornament set atop a revised grille with dual stacked headlights.

(8 reviews)This is my first car, bought it with my brother and we loved every minute of it. Very smooth, especially on the freeway and it works to clear up the road when people move our of your way. Very comfortable, clean, fuel economy is not very good but that is not the reason i bought the car.
bought car from origonal owner didint run so good when i bought it but after putting a 350 in the car it runs like a dream rides smooth on hight way proubay best spot to save gas it on high way
5k motor performance not an issue. only getting better suspention next cam wild enough to shake whole car all new engine custom drive shaft holley carb edelbrock intake ported and polished heads high volume oil pump need i say more
i drove my 1977 chev monte carlo in the 80's and found that when there was black rain on the highways it slid all over the pavement and the car went out of control.it didn't need much repairs at the time.i did like the appearance inside/out and the mileage was great back then as the gas was cheaper.i wouldn't say this car is fun to drive nowadays cause of the price of gas.
We have this car to sell as part of an estate sale. It needs some work to be in mint condition. It has been in a barn for the last 14 years. and it runs good and drives good. If interested let me know. Ideas on selling would be helpful. I hate to see it go to a junkyard. HIGHEST BID WINS. PROBATE COURT SHALL APPROVE SALE.
