Named after the swish capital of Monaco, Chevy’s Monte Carlo did indeed have lofty aspirations. It was the brand’s first personal luxury car, taking the fight to Ford with the Thunderbird. The Monte Carlo debuted in 1970, which was well over ten years after the Thunderbird. However, Chevy had carefully studied the market, and they weren’t in a hurry. After all, they had the Corvette and the Camaro making waves. So when they did launch the Monte Carlo, it created quite a stir. If you’d like to own one of the earliest Monte Carlos, we’ve got a 1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS up for sale right now. This 87,322-mile car has recently received a full restoration. Moreover, it’s said to sport all matching numbers, and comes to your hands with all maintenance up to date. Now isn’t that great? You don’t have to worry about issues, but can enjoy your purchase from the get-go.
This 1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS wears a clean white coat of paint, because it doesn’t need to shout. The design, penned by Terry Henline under the guidance of Dave Holls is enough to make people take a second and third look at the car as it glides by. Adding to the car’s allure is a healthy serving of chrome, because chrome signified luxury back then – in fact, it still does, now. The interior of this 1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS offers seating for four adults on plush, black leather-upholstered seats. Ford tried making the T-Bird a two-seater but quickly realized that many buyers wanted the versatility of that rear seat. So, Chevy retained it, and made sure that adults could fit back there without grumbles. Meanwhile, the driver receives a full instrument pack with a tachometer too, all set within a wood-trimmed dashboard. The center console sports the ventilation and heater controls, plus a push-button radio that’s actually a retro-styled unit with some modern features.
This 1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS comes with the biggest original engine option offered, a rebuilt 454ci V8 that is Dyno-tuned to an impressive 500 horsepower and 550 pound-feet for torque. The engine powers the rear wheels through a smooth Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission. Meanwhile, front disk brakes and rear drums are present to bring this behemoth to a standstill when needed.

Chevy’s Monte Carlo is a personal luxury car by the famous American automaker that was made from 1970 to 2007. There have been six generations of Monte Carlo produced, and the nameplate invokes fond memories even well after its discontinuation. In fact, there’s a song produced by an artist called Struggle Jennings that celebrates the fourth-generation Chevy Monte Carlo. This song is famous because it was also used in the last-ever episode of Amazon’s hit TV series The Grand Tour. Today’s 1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS is very relevant to this preamble because its also a fourth-generation example, and an SS, just like the car driven by Jennings in the music video. Up for grabs in Puyallup, Washington, this SS has traveled for over 180,000 miles.
Chevrolet offers a number of vehicles that classic car enthusiasts may admire, but the Monte Carlo is one that is often overlooked. This fruitful model first saw the light of day as Chevrolet's version of the Pontiac Grand Prix. Developed under the watchful eye of Elliot M. (Pete) Estes, general manager of Chevrolet, the Monte Carlo was manufactured through six generations until 2007. Moreover, the Monte Carlo has campaigned in NASCAR racing since 1971 as well. So, this 1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo is the ideal car for you if you're looking for a classic vehicle with some racing history that won't break the bank. It belongs to the first generation of this intriguing model lineup and currently resides in Virginia waiting for its next buyer.
The Chevrolet Monte Carlo is a two-door coupe that was positioned in the personal luxury car space. Of course, with a name like Monte Carlo, you can glean that it’s meant for the upmarket segment. Made across six generations, you could buy a brand-new Monte Carlo as recently as 2007. However, the classic Monte Carlos are the ones to get, such as this Pennsylvania-based, second generation 1974 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Landau. With a reported 40,805 original miles, this car is waiting for its next fortunate owner.
The Chevy El Camino showed the world in 1959 that a pickup truck didn’t have to be a body-on-frame machine with stodgy styling and uncomfortable riding dynamics. Instead, Chevy created a segment called the Coupe Utility, which was basically a seamless integration of cab, chassis and cargo area into one element. This led to a sportier, lower-riding and more comfortable vehicle that could still carry a decent payload in its cargo bed. After all, many buyers of such vehicles didn’t need heavy load-carrying per se, rather they wanted space. The El Camino also gained a reputation in the muscle car class, since it was available with some truly awesome V8s under the hood. Here, we have a 1960 Chevrolet El Camino that’s received a 383 Stroker under the hood, paired with a 3-speed automatic gearbox and a B&M shifter. With just 23,000 miles on its belt, this machine of multiple personas awaits its new owner in Dana Point, California.
The Chevrolet SSR LS is a uniquely American performance pickup that blends retro-inspired styling with modern V8 power and convertible flair. Designed as a lifestyle vehicle rather than a traditional work truck, the SSR combines a retractable hardtop roof with a short-bed pickup configuration, offering open-air driving alongside utility-focused features. This LS-trim example emphasizes comfort, usability, and factory-installed accessories while retaining the bold character that made the SSR stand out in Chevrolet’s early-2000s lineup.
Chevy’s second-generation or C2 Corvette has got to be the one with the shortest production run! It was made between 1963 and 1967, and just under 118,000 units were produced during this time. However, the C2 brought us many Corvette features such as pop-up headlamps, only V8s under the hood, and the Sting Ray badge. That’s why getting your hands on a C2 is a smart idea, albeit not one of the easiest. Happily, we have this 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible for sale from Newtown, Pennsylvania. The car has just 5,764 miles on it and looks fabulous!
Ford’s Torino is a midsize car that was sold between 1968 and 1976. It also dabbled in the muscle car segment, with a prime example being this first-generation 1969 Ford Torino Cobra Jet. For buyers who wanted something tamer, there was a host of straight six or V8 powerplants, but the ultimate was the massive 428ci Cobra Jet V8. That’s what this Thousand Palms-based car offers, along with a Marti Report and just 21,000 miles on the clock. In fact, 1969 Cobras like this one are quite desirable due to their rarity since many Torino’s didn’t survive due to a variety of reasons. Perhaps they weren’t quite seen as preservation candidates way back then. Now, a car like this one isn’t a common occurrence, so if you wish to own this Cobra, contact us right now.

Falcon is one of Ford’s best-known nameplates, because its been used for cars in North America, Australia and Argentina. Today’s 1964 Ford Falcon Sprint Convertible comes from the North American line-up and is a second-generation example. With a healthy 119,104 miles on the clock, this fine Ford hails from Chula Vista, California and is a nice, sunny drop-top too. It’s got a 289 paired with a four-speeder, and some fetching aftermarket wheels as well. And that’s before we get to its rather nautical color! In short, this is the perfect first classic for someone looking to try out the American cars of the Sixties, but if you need more convincing before calling us, read on.
