While the interior of the 1972 Monte Carlo remained largely unchanged from the 1971 version, the model did see some exterior changes. In addition, due to new industry regulations, horsepower in all cars had to be calibrated differently. The base 350-ci, 5.7-liter was rated at 165 horsepower, while the top-of-the-line 454-ci, 7.4-liter was rated at 270.
A Monte Carlo Custom trim was available for this model year only, mostly to replace the SS, which was dropped from the line.
What owners say
"The 1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo has garnered a mix of nostalgia and enthusiasm from its owners. Many appreciate its classic style, powerful V8 engine, and spacious interior, making it fun to drive and a pleasure to own. However, some drivers have noted handling issues and an overall feeling of being heavier than expected. Overall, it seems to be a beloved classic that many look back on fondly."
It was forest green with a white vinyl top....402 engine that purred like a kitten. I drove this car from my senior year in high school until it dropped to its knees 14 years later~ it was the best! The performance was awesome, build was tough as nails, appearance was sleek and it was a blast to drive! It took my friends and I where wver we wanted to go!
December 27, 20084 barrel carb V-8 High Output power, a lot of room inside, and great highway ride. Handling was a little loose, but straight line accelleration was awesome.
March 31, 2008Recently repainted, vinyl top repaired changing the carb to a 4 barrel quadra-jet with a high perfomance intake system, good old fashion american muscle getting ready for early spring release back into the world of cruising on Sundays at the parks
