PLEASE READ THE COMPLETE DESCRIPTION BELOW AND VIEW ALL THE PHOTOS. DONT MISS OUT ON THE CHANCE TO OWN A NICELY RESTORED, REAL MONTE CARLO SS 454. The Monte Carlo SS was the Gentlemans Muscle Car. Available with many luxury options and creature comforts, yet powered by the vaunted 454 Cu. In., 365 HP LS5 engine coupled to a Turbo 400 automatic transmission. It was only offered for 2 years in the first generation, 1970 and 1971. Revived again in 1 and 2, but never with the brute performance of the first generation. The 70 and 71 Monte Carlo SS stand as the lone high performance Chevrolet luxury cars of the Muscle Car era. The SS 454 package would be discontinued after 1971, but the 454 CID V8 engine would remain optional in Monte Carlos through 1975. The Monte Carlo endured six design generations. The first four (197072, 197377, 197880 and 198188) were of a rear-wheel-drive, V8-powered (V6 available beginning in 1978) coupe style, utilizing separate body-on-frame construction. The later rear-wheel-drive generations bucked the trend of unit-body construction, along with smaller engines, that became more prevalent in the early 1980s as automakers downsized their vehicle lines to meet increasing stringent fuel-economy regulations in the aftermath of two energy crises that led to gasoline shortages and skyrocketing pump prices in 1973-74 and 1979-80. Despite those trends, the Monte Carlo remained one of the most popular sellers in GM lineup history. The Monte Carlo started as a Chevrolet counterpart to the Pontiac Grand Prix, as conceived by Elliot "Pete" Estes, general manager of Chevrolet, and Chevrolets chief stylist, Dave Holls. Though the Monte Carlo was developed at Chevrolet under the leadership of Pete Estes, it was formally introduced in September, 1969 by John Z. DeLorean, who succeeded Estes as Chevrolets general manager earlier in the year after previously heading the Pontiac division, where he led the development of the Grand Prix. From 1972 until the cars end of production, the Monte Carlo was also a solid success in NASCAR racing. The big () bodied cars were the dominant body style through 1980. Again, starting in 1983 with the addition of the SS nose, the Monte Carlo SS became the dominant body style in NASCAR through the rest of the decade when the car went out of production. Finally, the car came back to racing in 1995 when Chevy brought the car back into production. The car brought Chevy repeated NASCAR Manufacturers Cup awards until it again was discontinued from production, and was replaced by the Impala for racing. CLICK ON THIS LINK FOR A COMPLE
