Test Drive 1973 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SOLD $10,900 Maple Motors

[@mancaveveteran4975]

Junior and Senior year driving one of these. Mine had a Landau top. Black interior and blue paint similar to this one. Captains chairs and shifter on the center console. Good times.......in the back seat.

[@cbdsw]

I loved my Monte. It was like driving on a living room sofa.

[@philiperickson5182]

Delivered to Memphis

[@whattowatchrightnow]

I remember those old boats. You could get them for $500 when I was a teenager and ya got what you paid for. I like it. The wife hates it.

[@westcoastbee4153]

Ahhh flash backs of my very first car, love it mine was maroon with a vinyl roof front bench seat,

[@BrianLarson1326]

Another beauty worth saving, but it will take another ten Gs to finish it. Still a rare beauty, so thanks for sharing Nick.

[@garyblanchard1084]

It’s only money

[@327h7]

I had a Monte Carlo 1973 same color ( every thing exactly the same and funny I lived in Tennessee in that time ! ) It was a dream machine . Amazing power handling and comfort and that beautiful , aggressive and forward body style . Ps . But it had this GM 2 door cars curse . After a while door hinges dropped due to doors being long and heavy .

[@yamahaguy1732]

Yeah it happens you just gotta re adjust

[@AddictedToDoingBadShit]

doors on my 77 have hard time closing. how should someone fix this?

[@yamahaguy1732]

Jarod Warner ive always heard which I’ve never had to do because I only just bought an old camaro but pick up on the end of the door with a little force and that may pull it into adjustment a bit I’ve always done that on squarebodys when to doors start to droop

[@henrytoledo4103]

@@AddictedToDoingBadShit new pins and bushings. should cost you less than $40 for both doors

[@mzaccagnini7179]

You can replace the hinge pins with new ones. I've done that with mine.

[@garymcnabb7527]

After my Navy time in the 70’s, I bought a light blue Chevy Monte Carlo with a white vinyl roof. The interior was black, with bucket seats that swiveled towards the doors. Unfortunately I was involved in an accident where I hit a telephone pole that came crashing onto the roof. The size of that car saved my life. They don’t make them like that anymore.

[@Ettore-vs7cn]

Gm did make great cars. Not sure what happened to them.

[@davidparisi4980]

Greed and Poor engineering! That's what happened!!!.

[@haroldbirge6881]

Had a 73 mine was triple black 350 swivel seats sunroof stock rallies that was a 🍀kick-ass car 👀✌️

[@keithlowe1982]

FYI most early '70's cars had separate lap/shoulder belts. Look on the floor inside the rocker panel for the lap belt. Should be a button stud on top of buckle and "key hole" in the end of shoulder belt.

[@jerryreed2636]

Nice looking Monte Carlo. LOVE those cars. Might be talking soon. Thanks Nick for showing the video.

[@dotd7763]

Nice looking car. I think that would look amazing with Corvette rallys

[@wayne3302264]

Mine had the CR's but after I would shine them up people kept stealing the beauty rims and center caps.......LOL

[@markscott5421]

My aunt had a 73 in Aqua it was a great car..she also took great care of her cars serviced by the dealer garage kept, when she traded her 73 Monte for a 78 Cutlass I wish I knew she was gonna do that I would have bought it.

[@Kingedward5]

Rebuilding my 75 right now

[@timgreene8432]

My 1st car in Highschool 1979 . Ahhh ... fun times , Drive Ins , girls , tiestick . I will get one again .

[@timgreene8432]

Ah man , I meant 73 . Totally red faced. My apologies. Still partying strong these days .

[@JoeR203]

I had a Hot Wheels (or could have been Matchbox) '73 or '74 Monte Carlo that was that color blue, but also had green down the sides with, I believe (thicker than pinstriping) yellow lines following the fender bulges. You should include a matching Hot Wheels car from your dad's shop (if you have them) when someone buys a car from you.

[@boataxe4605]

At 3:24 I thought the siren was the cops coming to give you a seatbelt ticket!

[@garyblanchard1084]

Colonnade Monte Carlos look superb with all steel roofs. Great shade of blue here as well. We had one of these in 1973.

[@jimcrawford5603]

missing part off the fan shroud , may overheat sitting traffic .

[@danendicott]

was a big block car (or at least its a big block fan shroud) must have added either the shroud or a big block...

[@seanvail8296]

These were my bros favorite type of cars he had everything. From a 1970 tp 87 ss.

I wanna give a thumbs up for the ones at your place who scouts these Out. To come up with the kickass cards n trucks all the time is awesome. Keep up the nice work Nick..

[@cardtrix1970]

That was a great Legacy, Bobby did, leaving this in Marla's name!!!

[@isaac24]

I have a 1995 Monte Carlo; it's my first car. Not nearly as cool as this, but I love mine.

[@jiggeplaya7182]

Car sounds healthy and looks like a great joy ride

[@327h7]

Perfect for back roads of Tennessee running moonshine .

[@chrisubias7135]

Love that car. I had a 78, they shortened the frame. Had a 305ci. I could peel some rubber

[@eminr9607]

Superior exhaust sound, l love it, and good engine performans too,that's clear..

Hey Nick really nice 73 Monte carlo and a good price as well.

[@stevetheartistguy]

I hear ya. My parents bought a 1975 Monte Carlo off the showroom floor. It was one of my high school cars back in 75'. Brings back memories. Steve in Texas.

[@davevirag5423]

I own a '75! Nice! ❤

[@dreamingcode]

Hey Nick do you guys do any repair to these cars at all? Carburetor work tune-ups or minor body repair?

[@charlesatwell6658]

Hey guys, Nick never said it was perfect! If it was then it would be double that price! Besides, I bet there is a little wiggle room on the price, it's kind of expected!

[@DennyBlessedDCT]

It would be nice if you would tell us how smooth the shifting is on the automatic transmission. It would also be nice when you do your walk around in the parking lot to show back up lights, turn signals, headlights, things like that. I'm on the west coast and all the little things make a difference. If I were to decide to purchase a car and have it shipped across the country I would like as many visuals in the videos as possible. Thanks, I love the cars and your videos!

[@albertomorales9493]

My mom had a 1977 and the shifting was buttery smooth.

[@BooRadley452]

She's sweet, Nick. I was partial to the Oldsmobile. But, a real find would be a 73-74 Grand Am. Nice work brother! 👍

That paint oddly hides most of the flaws, but that interior mishmash of weird fabric, trunk and all, just makes it not appealing.

Just based on the video I’d say this car is in fair condition, Hagerty lists a ‘73 Monte in fair condition being worth $6,800.
