With plenty of options such as factory air conditioning, power brakes, power steering and more, classic cars don't get much better than this in ways of comfort! Powered from the factory with one of the largest engines available, a numbers-matching 402 C.I. V8 that breathes through a 4-barrel carburetor, this '72 Monte is no slouch on the highway. Backing up that massive 402 V8 is a reliable 3-speed automatic transmission, which allows for a comfortable ride as it shifts nice and smooth. Now, what really sets this '72 Monte apart from the pack is its shimmering "Mulsanne Blue" metallic paint, laid out across a laser-straight body and contrasting beautifully with this Monte's redline tires. Additionally, the floors, frame, trunk and jambs on this fantastic '72 Chevy are all in great shape and present nicely! Opening the large twin doors reveals an appealing black vinyl interior, complete with comfy bench seats that are perfect for long-distance cruising. This particular Monte comes fitted with plenty of options, including power steering, power brakes, front disc brakes, factory air conditioning, factory gauges with original clock, under-dash aux. gauges, a working original AM/FM radio, a remote chrome driver's mirror, and a sweet-sounding dual exhaust system. The car rides on flashy Chevrolet chrome 15" rally wheels over Firestone redline tires for a truly head-turning, period-correct look! Believe us, with the way this Monte drives, you're always in for a good time behind the wheel. If you happen to be in the market for an incredibly beautiful, stylish and powerful cruiser, then look no further. This '72 Monte Carlo is just what you're looking for.
