The 1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo was the first-ever model of what Chevy called its "luxury personal performance car." The Monte Carlo was created to be a thing of beauty: the elongated hood increased the crisp lines of the automobile, and the near-as-long trunk provided ample cargo room.
The inside was nice as well, with seats designed to be soft and luxurious. The knobs and dials throughout the dash gave a pit-like feel to the interior.
The most popular version of the car today is, of course, also the rarest. Only 3823 SS 454s were produced with their highly advanced leveling control system and softer shocks.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo deeply appreciate its eye-catching appearance, powerful performance, and the nostalgic experience of driving such a classic car. Common positive themes are its striking design and impressive power, especially with big block engines. However, many owners note that the car requires some work and upkeep to maintain its condition. Some weaknesses mentioned include the need for interior repairs and lower fuel economy, typical for classic muscle cars."
Has enuff power to run with just about any sports car, with the right driver can take a big block muscle car from same era.
January 25, 2008The performance of this car is totally cool , the crisp body lines , power of the Big block under the hood , More needed to be produced with the M-22 4 speed Manual transmission , Roomy interior and 4-10 geared osi-traction 12 bolt rear
November 11, 2009I love everything about this car. It has a 350 5.7 liter completely rebuilt with a little over 400 horsepower. All the bells and whistles were done when it was restored. Inside is very modern as well. Gas mileage is a little low but that's to be expected.

October 24, 2013Fell in love with the 1st generation Monte when in Grade 11 as one of my friends had a used one. Purchased mine 3 years ago and the only problem is that I don't have enough time to drive it.
October 17, 2007beautiful lines, great handling, 19 mpg hwy when i can keep it at 65 mph which does not happen often. a real head turner. compliments all the time. had a guy in Tucson pull next to me and tell me of a upcoming car show that my monte had to take part in, went ahead and did it and was so glad i did. Has the 402 with buckets, console and original Delco am/fm 8 track that works!
December 27, 2009Lots of fun to drive... It gets alot of looks due to the distinct look of the car and the overpowering roar of the 502 in it. If a strong first impression is what you are going for, then this is the car for you.
September 5, 2009I like that it gets looks and is fun to drive. Alot of the Interior parts of a Chevelle also work on this car. Has lots of power but is also a very heavy car so not real fast on a track.
March 1, 2014It really needs work but even though it does it still performs pretty well. it has an old 350 in it and has about 250 horsepower only because it needs a lot of work. it still spins them new kelly's though
September 21, 2010love the whole car, just needs to be fixed up a bit.
June 23, 2008Had I had a chance to drive this sweetie when it was new, I might of keep hold of it. It was my roomates car, and I was his mechanic. Who ever owned it before was unkind to her. The body was straight, but the interior was shot.
