Chevy’s Monte Carlo has been a two-door coupe in the Bowtie’s model line-up for quite some time. Made over seven generations and named after the capital city of Monaco, the Monte Carlo has gained a following of its own. In fact, it can be considered Chevy’s take on the Personal Luxury Car, especially when earlier generations are considered. Take this second-generation 1976 Chevrolet Monte Carlo as an example. Bearing only 45,750 miles on the clock, this car hasn’t seen a lot of action – but that’s great for you, its next potential owner.
A symbol of seventies luxury, this 1976 Chevrolet Monte Carlo wears a two-tone light blue and dark blue coat of paint. This really enhances its angular styling and front and rear ends. You’ve also got features like the egg-crate-styled front grille and alloy wheels that wear Cooper Cobra tires. Meanwhile, the second-generation Monte Carlo also brought what’s known as an opera window, which is the little window in the rear-sides of the roof, directly behind the doors. The interior of this 1976 Chevrolet Monte Carlo provides plush seating for four adults. Interestingly, the driver and front passenger seats can swivel sideways for easier entry and exit. Then, there’s a tilt steering wheel facing a wood-trimmed dashboard. The gauge cluster includes a ‘Fuel Economy’ gauge – remember that the 70s were the time of the Malaise Era where automakers were forced to tighten emissions regulations, as well as improve fuel economy where possible. The gauge is a sort of incentive for you to drive gently. Moving on, the car also appears to have air conditioning and a push-button radio.
Beneath the hood of this 1976 Chevrolet Monte Carlo lies a 400ci V8 engine, paired with a 3-speed automatic gearbox for ample cruising capabilities. You’ll also appreciate the car’s smooth ride quality, thanks to front-independent suspension with coil springs. The rear suspension is a live axle system with leaf springs, as was common during the period. Front disc brakes and rear drum brakes are present and provide adequate stopping power. Just don’t expect them to stop like a 2024 car, so you’ve got to be smooth when driving this car.

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.
