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.

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.
Chevy’s Monte Carlo was their answer to the personal luxury car segment that Ford brought to America with the T-Bird. Made over six generations, the Monte Carlo entered the market in 1970. The Monte Carlo also spawned a stablemate called the Pontiac Grand Prix, much like the Firebird was to the Camaro. If you’ve wanted to experience what a Monte Carlo can be like, we’ve got a nice fourth-generation 1984 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Coupe for sale right now. It’s got a new engine, and some refurbishment work has been performed too.

Classic cars from the ’60s are hot property. But it’s not just cars that have found their way into the hearts of enthusiasts. Humble work trucks like the 1963 Chevrolet C10 are just as desirable. With values for these historic workhorses climbing year after year, it’s getting hard to find good examples of these classics. Our featured 1963 Chevrolet C10 Stepside appears to be largely original and features a 230ci engine, with a four-speed manual transmission. Whether you’re looking for a well-preserved classic truck or the perfect basis for a restomod, this C10 could be the answer you’re looking for.
Chevy’s C/K Series has been doing yeoman service for countless enterprising Americans since it was introduced in 1959. The C/K ran until 2002, when the Silverado took over; prior to this, Silverado was a trim level. Case in point: this 1989 Chevrolet C3500 Silverado from the fourth generation. The vehicle reportedly underwent a frame-off restoration in 2019, and sports a rebuilt engine with under 1,000 miles done since then. Furthermore, this truck comes with some nice convenience features that will make it an attractive modern classic, plus a potential daily driver.
The Chevrolet Chevelle SS is one of those muscle cars that can literally put hairs on your chest. It’s a special car in any form — be that a painstakingly original example, a meticulously restored car, or something like our featured build: an all-out exercise made to fulfill the dreams of restomod fans around the country. Our featured 1967 Chevy Chevelle SS Convertible doesn’t just look the part. It features a 6.2L supercharged V8 LS3 crate motor that reportedly puts out 590 hp with a few choice modifications. Evidently, this car isn’t for the faint-hearted. But it’s also an exercise in getting everything right, as you’ll see as you read on.
The Plymouth Barracuda needs no introduction to fans of the muscle car genre. By 1970 the model was in its third generation and was now based on the E-Body. It may have shared its underpinnings with the Dodge Challenger, but the sheet metal was completely different. Our featured car has been treated to an end-to-end restoration, with the owner reporting a new paint job, new engine, and new transmission. The motor itself has been upgraded with a Blueprint 408ci stroker engine in place, and there’s a host of other tasty upgrades that separate this 1970 Plymouth Barracuda from the herd.
There are few cars that are as well known as the Pontiac GTO. The first GTO arguably created the muscle car genre, but this, the second generation, helped define the segment for years to come. The 1968 Pontiac GTO won MotorTrend’s Car of the Year award, and it’s not hard to see why. Here was a car that packed enormous power into a beautiful bodyshell, and with an affordable price tag. Our featured car mixes things up with a new riff on this classic. Instead of the old-school 6.6-liter V8, you’ll find a more modern 5.3-liter Chevy LS engine under the hood. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this 1968 Pontiac GTO restoration.
Based on the fourth-generation Dodge Dart, the Swinger was a novel concept. By its fourth generation, the Dodge Dart was considered a compact (or senior compact in marketing speak) car. So the Swinger was, in many ways, a mini-Muscle car, targeted at those who loved performance, but who were perhaps on a tighter budget than others. This resulted in a smaller car, with just as much power as many of its bigger brothers. The car we’re featuring here is powered by a 318ci V8 engine. The owner reports that this is one rare gem, with the car having an original mileage of 98,000 miles. It features a host of new parts, including a new interior.
