I'll admit, I'm in my later 60's, but I think there's a place in America for cars, not just SUV's
I had a '71 Monte Carlo. Daily driver til early 80's. Took it for granted. Wish I had it now! Cost $3500 brand spankin' new! Just a rusty shell would cost that today!
We took these cars for granted
Chevy made dang good cars and trucks during 70s.
I had a 70 Monte Carlo it came from the factory with the 400 small block.. 265 hp and 400-foot pounds of torque with a 2 barrel carb. I put in a hotter cam with heads, intake, and carburetor off a 70 LT1 a set of headers and turbo mufflers and a 4:10 rear gear. It was quicker than a 383 road runner or 390 Fairlane. It ran well for a car with AC, and power windows.
Sounds like a great set up in a beautiful car.
My sister had a '72 with a built up 350/4Bbl; Cragar SS Wheels; Wide Ovals. The first time she let me drive it, I put my foot into it trying to pull into traffic and left 50 feet of rubber
Man I love that style of Monte Carlo!👌🥰👍
Loved that 1st generation Monte Carlo
This is when GM used to build real cars.
1970 Camaro split bumper is the best looking out of every generation
I'm currently dailying my 1972, great video
Man the corvette! What a beauty!👌🥰👉♥️👍
I always wanted a 70 monte Carlo I wish we still built quality things these days
Even the horrible Mitsubishi Mirage has many times the build quality. Those Monte Carlo's, and every other vehicle shown here, were utter garbage. I feel ashamed that the US ever produced vehicles to such unacceptably low standards.
I had a 70 Monte Carlo for about 7 years felt it was a good trouble free car.
@@jblyon2 I bet u drive a Honda
@@jblyon2 You must of been dropped on your head as a baby if you think an absolute POS Mitsubishi Mirage is of higher quality than any of the cars here. Either you have the IQ of a potato or are trolling so badly that it's hilarious.
You funny !
My late dad used to have a 1970 Monte Carlo
I can dig it!!!!!!!!!!!
My uncle had one too. It was the only new car he ever owned.
73 Bel Aire wagon w400cu in 2bbl. . Well built comfort base model. Compared to modern SUV's I'd rather have my. Old Chevy again for ease of maintenance before modern computer controls and interior room.
He straight put a boat motor in the trunk...lol. Nice
Loved them.had a 75'
Monte.
Excellent quality ride looks
Sorry, there's no god damn way you had a 75 foot long Monte Carlo.
Oh God take us back, even thou I was born in 71,and not old either
Got a 72 Monte Carlo in the garage as I type this.
Excellent
Auto manufacturers today... We took our econo commuter car and raised it up to make a "crossover". It has Bluetooth and a 6" color radio screen called "infotainment". If you get the sport package it has "engine sound augmentation" that plays cool sounding engine notes through the speakers while the little 1.4l 4 cylinder buzzes away.
Back in 1994 my friend in high school had a 1970 Monte with a 350 in it. We used to tease him about it, he would pop that massive hood and tucked away deep inside was a lil' tiny 350. Looked so small in that huge engine bay.
The best small block v8 ever..
Sweet Camaro and Corvettes, 1970. Monte not too shabby either. Sad these folks are near death or long gone. Time zips along.
A lot of hot air being created!
I'll take all three please.
The narrator in the Monte Carlo section sounds a lot like Pernell Roberts.
Awesome.
Miss my ‘71 Monte .
My first car was a 72 Monte Carlo with the bucket seats and gears on the floor...SS type I guess
1972 red with 350 and black vinyl top. Amazing car
No cheezy vinyl top...please.
I have a 1970 corvette
5:17 I notice that the disabled car blocking the road is a Ford.
Tip: Drink every time you hear “variable-ratio steering”.
Don't forget to click the thumbs up if you liked the video 👍
grew up in a 72 Monte
Sorry to rain on the parade but those clamshell tailgates were known to fail. Beautiful cars though.
The body roll on the Corvette is a very dangerous thing!!!
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
If people only knew what junk they are driving today those GM cars were awesome back then why else would they be so desired today?
Monte Carlo should have been offered as a convertible.
I've seen them chopped into convertibles and yes they look great!
Wouldn’t have happened: GM was aware then when the Monte Carlo being developed, of potential, changing government rollover standards (which actually did not come to pass at the projected time), and the “colonnade coupe era” from 1973-1977 was created as response to those anticipated rollover standards changes.
@@alfresco4976 It almost was. There are early pieces of sales literature that depict it.
@@roger628 Yes, the accessories brochure shows a Monte Carlo convertible for '70!
I have a 1977(2nd Generation). It was my first "brand new car" and...I still own it. It is still...mostly original. I say "mostly" because I had to have it painted in the early 80s because the paint was-literally-fading away. The paint schemes in the mid 1970s, forward, we're horrid! The build "quality" sucks(another 70s-90s "lowpoint). They...rusted easily. I had kept that vehicle in a heated gatage, never drove it during the winter, and it STILL RUSTED and the paint STILL FADED! I very good-looking vehicle, though, which is why I bought one and still own it. Everything elsecanput it, though, just...sucks. During the 2nd generation. I believe they "cheapened up" the sheet metal starting with the '76 model...it seemed a lot "thinner" and "flimsy"!
In 69 you could get the 396 with turbo 400..she would roll..69 was a good year for Chevrolet...all of them really..then quality started going down.
72 KINGWOOODESTATE WAGON..HUGE...................
Those were cool back in my youth, but that video is wrong about one thing, the seatbelt was never worn, as a little kid, I'd stand on the seat next to my mom driving, cause I could see more.
Coming to a gas station near you !
9:55 I’ll take that Porsche 911. It may have been three times the price of that Camero,
but today that air cooled 911 is worth $75,000+ in restored condition...
Yeah! Screw that piece of junk Camaro.
How much is a restored 1970.5 big block Camero Z28?
@@Minong_Manitou_Mishepeshu No such thing as a big block z/28.
@@mcqueenfanman How much is a fully restored 1970.5 Camaro Z28 with a small block worth then?
@@Minong_Manitou_Mishepeshu I guess nobody has bothered to restore one...
10:01 John Holmes 😄
Wasn't it the Monte Carlo that had swivel seats in the front to make getting in and out easier? I always thought that was cool as hell.
Yep. Mine does.
Yes as did 1957 Plymouth fury and DeSoto adventurer.
So did the Oldsmobile Cutlass, and probably it's Buick and Pontiac cousins.
When GM was King.
the camaro looks like a big fat vega in the front ...and what they didnt tell you about wagons was...in the ford you can lay the tailgate open flat to add to load carrying capacity ...ford was the wagon master for a reason ..the ford wagon was the f150 of its day
The Camaro and Vega were both great looking cars.
@@paulross9287 ...that Vega engine though...
00:58 Now what in the world is personalized comfort?
It;s really odd that the Camero only has one sport mirror.
got my 70 at age 15, learning how to drive with no passenger mirror was interesting
YE$TERDAY....when i was young
Aaaaahh the lady has her own silver coffee pot 0:59 by this time no cupholder so that was the beginning.
The features lololol nice video
🙂👍👍👍
at 20.32 it shows a 71 Chev not a 72 .
I had a 70 Monte Carlo triple black and it was a small block of some sort but I could outrun all of the cops in the county I lived in and most of them had big blocks in them, but there were no driver's and the big blocks they had couldn't touch me, I was never caught on the road in a chase the whole time I owned the car!!!!!!!!!!
The hairstyles and fashion of that day still scare me! LOL
Yes, Tv makes people do very stupid things.
Ha ha Nobody with half their head shaved and purple hair face tats and more metal in their face than the 1970 monte.
@@petervitti9 Exactly. As if the cretins of today's society are an improvement.

Hand painted at the factory? How quaint.
Même pas une Peugeot ou Renault ou Citroën 'MonteCarlo'...et ne pas dire des marques italiannes...Fiat (ah! toutes avec des numéros) Monte-Carlo 🙄🤔
J'aime beaucoup la 'musique' pop rock des spots.
8:30 il faut répondre à tout vitesse au Maserati Ghibli 🤔🙄
14:00 il faut faire quelque-chose rapide face aux Ferrari 🙄🤔
17:45👌🏻ahí si que los yankees superaban a los europeos. Poco dados en los 70s a hacer 'coches familiares'...grandes.
19:30👏🏻
Hold on! Before we leave I need to put my outboard motor in the trunk of my Monte Carlo, you never know when it will come in handy. Is James Bond driving this car?
At 0:43 - yep, shoulder belts were useless and always in the way back then.
GM is one quarter Chinese owned now.
My dad had a 1978 Monte Carlo, biggest pile of junk ever. It started rusting in 1981 and the air conditioning failed in 1983. Small block engine so slow it could not outrun an F150 with a 6 cylinder! I convinced my dad to get rid of it and buy a used 1969 Charger instead. He was so impressed and kept it until he gave it to me to add to my collection.
Those 1970's Camaros were the best of their kind though. Had a few friends with them and all had a great experience. That Corvette was a great sports car from Detroit.
1978 was the first year of the scaled down mid size cars from GM. I had a 1978 Olds Cutlass with a 260 V8 and it was a dog. The build quality was horrible and keeping it clean it did not save it from rusting out.
78 was the first year for the G-body although they still called it A-body until 1981. Oldsmobile G-bodies must have been built better because I’ve owned 6 ‘78-‘87 Cutlasses and only had minor issues with them all. Currently, I own a ‘79 Hurst/Olds, the only mid sized GM car those years to come with a 350ci Olds Rocket from the factory. All others were allowed no more than 307ci. They found a loophole where as long as they built under 2,500 units they could use any engine available at the time, so they only built 2,499 of this special edition Cutlass. It also came with a his/hers Hurst shifter.
The car is still in great shape and has 97k on the odometer.
I had a 68 Plymouth road runner..Worst car I ever owned..
Why did he have to throw the seatbelt out of the way brah?
I wonder what year this is being from 70 to 72 there was almost no difference
Talking about handling while watching a Corvette wallowing through the turns. 🤔
Its a 1970 Corvette. Only a couple brands did it better, barely, for 3+ times price...
Back then as it is today you are going to spend more than twice the price of a Corvette to by a car that handles better.
After watching the whole video, I can't help remembering an employee saying, "I'd like to buy 1 myself". As if to say he couldn't afford the very product he assembles. Bad management, look what's left of Government Motors now. (GM).
It is a shame that the very employee who is building the vehicles cant get some sort of break or discount on the product. I know Ford had what they call the Z-plan, and back in the 60s and 70s, atleast from what a friends dad told me who started working there right out of high school in the early 60s, the z-plan was so good for the employee, he bought a 1979 ford f-150 4x4 that was fully loaded, top of the line trim package and ext., that cost $4,800.00 at the dealership for anyone who wanted to buy it brand new, which was actually pretty expensive for that time, only cost my friend's dad $1,800.00 on the Z-plan. To me, tgat is a great benefit offered to the employees, those who put their sweat and energy into building the product for the company. But now i guess the z-plan is nothing like what it used to be. Now they only offer like a 10% discount, and u have to have been a long term employee of over15 years to be able to qualify for the plan. These gigantic fortune 500 companies have no appreciation for their employees anymore because they know that theres a line of ppl waiting to get their foot in the door, so they look at it like if the employee begins to get upset over lack of benefits, they can just hit the road and leave, theres another person waiting in line to take that job, and be grateful for the job and dont expect any benefits or whatnot...:i might be wrong about Ford or Chevy being this way, I've never worked there, im just going by what ive heard from, and my experience with working for different companies and the economy being the way it is and how the company's take advantage of the terrible economy...
@@brianstefanski4508
Oh please, quit your belly aching. If you don't like your job, then go look for a better offer. In the mean time, get back in line and keep quiet.
UAW, looks what's left of government motors (GM)
The unions made sure these guys got paid well.. Don't kid yourself, part of the problem with the quality in the 70s was the protection and money they made because of unions.
GM assembly line workers did very well back then, if your dad worked at GM, you WERE one of the rich kids. if both your mom and dad worked at GM, you had the household income equal to a doctor's household, and probably better benefits and a fantastic pension.
This is from 1972
5:27 resulted in two warped brake rotors.
No
Spencer Hawk...TRUE..
Line worker said “I sure would like to own one, but…..”
Then they cut him off before he was able to say “But GM doesn’t pay me enough”
You wouldn't have to write '1970's era' if you didn't cover the copyright date on the film with the continual stamp 'PF*#@*!'. It would be cool to narrow it down to something other than 10 years. Judging by the body it is '70 - '72, but that stamp hides a lot of things in all your films that makes it frustrating. Still like your films though (:
Ads 👍
Ads 👎 you getting rich off these ads brah?
Last video I watched on here was from Chev saying how the European invasion meant they were going to have to up the ante and be more competitive. Yet here we are, mid '70s and they're still building giant gas guzzlers with separate chassis, 10 years after the Europeans had gone to unitary design. Hilarious!
No vans.
ruclips.net/video/12OmFXFhL90/видео.html
They show Chevy van briefly at the end.
Your videos would be a lot more enjoyable without the advertising at the bottom.
