Test Drive 1971 Chevy Monte Carlo SOLD $19,900 Maple Motors

[@mariemiller1547]

This is my dream car. I've always loved the 70-72 Monte Carlos. My husband found me a 72. It is a project car in progress. I can't wait to drive it😊

[@tomburns41]

Beautiful. Had a 1975 Monte Carlo. Triple black with swivel bucket seats. 350 under the hood. Beautiful.

[@oboyonasis5932]

It doesn't have posi rear end. Base model and basic motor. Kinda clean car. $20,000 for this car. Wow 😳 maybe, or maybe not. It will make someone happy and thats what counts champ!

[@oboyonasis5932]

Yep it's basic motor like a 350. There small blocks champ which is base model. Option list, is a 400 more than a 427ci, 454, or 455 #'s matching motor champ. How about your interior options, transmission ya know things like that. If you are interested in purchasing the Monte Carlo just buy it, or just debate about a bunch of nothing my boy. Step it up champ 😂🤣 and don't be so concerned about what other peoples opinions are. Stay focused on your dreams champ. Big Navy wartime veteran doesn't worry about the things that are beneath him or anything out of his control. It's all a big waste of time & energy. Enjoy your dreams and live long and hard.... Hagd

@@koolkitties8552 if I had a pot to p***s in I'd fix it up. And put a H.O. 454 in it and do a rotisserie restoration on it. But that's me.

[@DC-uw8hp]

Put a posi, build the motor over time (Winter) and you'll be good to go

[@matrox]

A neighbor down the street had a new 70 SS Monte Carlo in black just like this when I was a teenager. Beautiful car.

[@larrybettie7153]

Thats nice one my cousin had a yellow 71 Monte Carlo with automatic in floor we were going down a old black top back road one day he was going about 50 mph there were 5 or 6 guineas in the middle of road eating something he said I'll bet i cant hit not even one of them he said i try all time to see if i can bump one of yalls when they are in the road but those things are really fast so he nails his gas peddle and that old Monte Carlo was quick it had a tan vinyl top also but it had headers , loud glass packs and B&M shift kit in trans and pretty big cam in the 350 or 400 i dont remember exacty which motor but one of those two but that jumped up to 90 pretty quick and feathers flew everywhere he hit every dam one of those guineas and i got down low in the seat because the older man standing in his front yard wasnt very happy by the shovel he was shaking at us ole Tim said i cant believe i hit those ive never come close to hitting yalls i said Tim those wasnt ours ha,ha R.I.P. Tim he passed away this year from cancer .

[@rickhenson660]

My first car was a first gen Monte, sbc, 4barrel, and duals. It ran great, especially at over 4xxx lbs. they didn't look that good again till the 80s!

[@matrox]

Chevy hit it out of the park when they introduced the M/C in 70. They sold like hot cakes.

[@maddpeanut6313]

Just gotta luv 1st gen Montes. I bought a dark blue 71 SS454 when I was stationed in Montana back in '76. What a runner. State trooper pulled me over doing 105 in a 55. Ticket was for breaking the newly enacted 55 mph energy conservation law. LOL. Speed limit had ben "Reasonable and Prudent" up until then. $5.00 fine paid on the spot and I was on my way. Gotta luv Montana too.

[@joehaines2251]

I knew a guy that had one of these, he put a engine out of a chevy school bus. can't remember the cubic inches but it filled up that engine bay foresure. it was nuts.

[@quentinteague3472]

Should have taken the long way in this cruiser. Nice looking car.

[@nixwix3811]

I love that Monte Carlo , the motor sounds great !!! This is fantastic Corvette week at Maple Motors with a Monte Carlo and an Olds 442 to boot!! Good job Nick!!

[@rayrayc540]

Definitely nice and should sell quick but needs a serious clean up underneath.

[@christhompson438]

On the undercarriage slow mo.. when you were backing up, that was a nice rhythm sound lol

[@strokermaverick]

Classic, 400 small block torque!

[@rjspantikow]

First car I ever drove. I could barely reach the pedals. The sound just makes me smile. I miss these cars!

[@chriskelly509]

From what I've seen is people can't afford the Chevelle's or Nova's and so they're going after the Monte Carlos now. Seen a lot of people looking for 1st gen monte carlo's. Should sell quickly

[@mu99ins]

I owned a '71 Monte Carlo for a few years of hard commuting, and regret selling it. I'd pull the trigger on this car, but I live in California, so, with all the regulations.

[@chriskelly509]

@mu99ins I have a 72, it's my 1st classic car and I am absolutely loving it. I don't plan on ever selling it. I really wanted a chevelle but I couldn't afford one in similar condition as my monte.

[@mu99ins]

@@chriskelly509 - I think you got the best option with the '72 M.C.. I had the bad luck of having to pull the engine on my M.C., about a week after I bought it. Timing gear. Luckily, I had a buddy who was an auto mechanic, who had me pull the engine, and he rebuilt the engine on my redwood deck in the redwood forests of Lompico. I was impressed with the Center of Gravity of the engine being located somewhat rearward of the front axle. I sold my M.C. because I was concerned about fuel efficiency, but 25 years after I sold it, I would gladly buy another one.

[@Nebulasecura]

@@mu99ins I suggest moving. California for that reason alone isn’t worth it for me

[@harrybalsak3508]

This one won't last long, suprised it made it to video without being SOLD already.

[@markanthony3275]

I remember a friend who owned a 72 Monte , taking out the fan and shroud so he could stand in the engine compartment to do his timing change and gears.

[@Outlaw-Josey-Wales]

That's exactly how mine looked in 1987 I was a junior in high school we built a 454 60 over with a steel crank stage two nitrous had four 11 gears in it had reverse shift pattern had the big cams aluminum heads ladder bars and when you stomp the gas you either shut off like a rocket or you broke something

[@MarioLopez-yt9yl]

Oh man your killing me on this one Nick! I'm a Monte Carlo fanatic have been for years I'd love to own it!!!!

[@markstangsn9518]

Some clean up underneath but cool car always been a fan of these.

[@LivingOnCash]

Peg leg, peg leg, one wheel peel! 🤣 Nice car. Lot's of potential. If it were $5K less I'd be on the phone with you. I'm sure it will sell quickly though.

[@Danny-ju2ip]

My first car was a maroon '73 Monte Carlo i bought as a teen in 1985 for $500. I still miss it 🙋‍♂️

[@sokodad]

Very nice. Favorite body style of Monte Carlo is the first.

[@chriskelly509]

Agreed

[@Trapper50cal]

That shroud is bananas...love the look of these though....gentleman's muscle with comfort.

[@mctube44]

Love the 1st gen. Monte. Long nose short deck. Luxury Muscle.

[@randyengland1043]

My first car was a 71 MC. This video brought back some good memories.

[@ESELOKOTE213]

Says he's not gonna go over all the chips.. Proceeds to go over all the chips 😂. Man i miss my monte. Had one almost identical, 71 monte with 402 12 bolt posi, tilt steering rear defrost, ac.

[@frankE91210]

very under rated cars same chassis as the chevelle i believe the hood and or trunk were interchangable between models even.

[@chriskelly509]

Very interesting

[@KenGetRight]

Of Course the horn should work on this one!

[@zmonster1973]

Max A.C. is on its own circuit, protected by an in line fuse. The blower speeds will only work on A.C. on the normal setting.

Its Amazing what a coat of wax will do to a old paint job

[@wdnmd]

Really nice and rare monte carlo with floor shifter👍

[@christophermclean3921]

Love the car. Many imperfections like chips, rust, underneath cleanup, gauges, sooo is price negotiable?

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

no prices are firm, we try and let that be know up front , thats why we have the videos showing all the flaws. This one sold for asking price ,Thanks

[@christophermclean3921]

[@markepperson8482]

The make of the tires got me cracking up , lol

[@DB-hr5xy]

I would absolutely love to have been able to buy this 1971 Monte Carlo for $15,000. After getting the small body and a decent paint job done and the interior redone, I’d have a nice Monte Carlo for about $30,000. I am thinking a $10,000 paint job and about $5,000 in having a new interior put in. I am not doing it myself, so a do it yourself person, could do a lot more. I think nice ones are averaging around $40.000 now. This rest I could do over time

[@nealhardin6869]

Thats a nice car.. she's bone stock and runs good in my opinion..a lil carb attention abd a mild gear change with exhaust abd she would be quick. Nice ride

[@edgardaniels1402]

Another one with the cover missing off of the cat catcher!!

[@mzaccagnini7179]

That is one nice monty. Monte carlos are my favorite cars.

[@SigmaStoicGemini]

Damn, that 400 sounds AWESOME!! My mom had a forest green 71 Monte when I was growing up, so seeing this brings a huge smile to my face! 😁 Thanks Nick!

[@hotwheel6663]

Black Monte at Maple Motors!

[@carlton2361]

Love these. 71-72

[@trouble603]

I paid 27k for a Monte Carlo #s matching in August (it wasn’t missing anything and everything works but the clock) sometimes I feel like I over paid until I see the condition and asking price of other sellers

[@DB-hr5xy]

I don’t think you over paid for a nice one. If you liked everything about it, except minor stuff ! I’d kind of expect to pay closer to $40.00 for one in perfect condition. But if it had some goofed looking rims on it, or some odd color, that would be 2 expensive things I’d have to put me money out to make it the way I would want. Any rate congrats!! Your in the hobby and closer than I am !!!

[@trouble603]

Since I made this comment I have a whole new drivetrain. 500hp 510tq I’m happy now

[@SHADOWBLACKs650]

💯👉 I wonder if that is a numbers-matching 400, cars begging for a 454 LOL
