My 1970 shadow gray Monte came with rallies, 400 small block and 12 bolt rear end dif. I didnt need an SS to hot rod it. I pumped it to a 406, with 450 horses, rebuilt and beefed up suspension, lowered it one inch and installed a turbo 400 street/strip with 373 gears. It is 100% immaculate and with the rallies and BF Goodies is one head turner.
yes ...I also had a 70 402 4speed M22 256 posi , a little hard to get off the line but awesome top speeds . loved that car . but then life trotted on ..
I had one fully loaded with a 350 in it. I've had over 245 cars. The Monte Carlo is a good practical car. You got reasonable mileage and reasonable performance. I miss it
My first car was a 77 Monte 350 w/bucket seats, later I drove a 72 Monte 350 w/bench seat for a few years, and finally owned an 86 SS with an upgraded 355, all such great cars I wish I had kept them all! We could fit half the band equipment in the trunk of the 72!
My dad had a gold w/ black top & interior SS 454 like this (his daily work car) it was the first car I drove when i got My licence in 1976 it was a great car, in late summer 1978 I totaled it when the Rt front tire let go on a long sweeping left hand curve in the country @ about 75 to 80. Lucky My friend and I were unhurt, I was real lucky because that night We had not drank at all. I always wanted to get another one because they really are a great driving car.
Oh danngit man! Sorry to hear that. So, like an old poly-glass tire popped? MY 71 Monte broke one of the nuts on that weird upper control arm shim set-up one and threw it out of whack and another time my 70 SS sheared all the Lugnuts off and dropped the front end on the ground in a parking lot! The SS was totaled by a drunk lady with no insurance in an OLDS 442 soon after I engine swapped it and converted to HEI ignition in high school shop class
I had an opportunity to buy one of these from an online auto auction in a rural community outside of the twin cities area. It was not an ss but was white with with hard top. Mint body and only 63k miles on it. This was around 2010 and I had no idea how nice this car was at the time but I wish I owned it today. I missed the end of the auction because of a work conflict but it sold for under $1300 bucks.
A 1969 GP was available with a 390hp 428ci and a 4 speed. 1970 was available with a 370hp 455, even a Hurst SSJ was available. The Monte Carlo SS had no LS6 option, only a 360hp LS5 454 of which almost none were made. Both are cars I wouldn't mind having, I would just rather have the GP more because even the lower priced cars got a 400 Pontiac with 350hp vs the low priced Monte which was a 250hp 350sbc.
Chevrolet sold more SS Montes than "almost none". 3823 Monte SS454s were built for 70, and the LS5 was rated 360 hp at 4400 rpm, but the exact same engine, cam and all, was rated 390 hp at 4800 rpm in the Corvettes.
Besides a 454 LS5, a '70 Monte Carlo was available with a 4 other engine options, including a 300 hp 350, and a 330 hp 402, LS3. The '71 had 4 engine options, and both '70 and '71 had a 4 speed available in any non-SS.
@Pete shea Pete, to be fair the 70 GP had a 3:07 gear to the Monte at 3:31 I think with the same gear the GP would be right there with the Monte. Both great cars BTW.
My pumped out small block 70 monte with a turbo 400 street/strip and 2200 stall with 373's in the rear, eats most cars from 0 to 60. I have a LS tricked out Corvette and it can almost keep up with that!
The Monte in 1970-72 couldn't touch a Grand Prix. I the 80s couldn't touch a Regal T Type, GN or GNX and the W-body fwd with the 3800 SII or LS4 can't touch an 04-06 GTO. 😂😂
The Thunderbird was in a complete class higher than the MC. 1970 Thunderbird prices started at 5000. As well the Thunderbird 429 was also rated at 360 horses and came with 4 bbl and full dual exhaust as standard. The MC was standard with a 307 or 350 and 2 bbl. The fact was that the GP also had 350 horses standard and a 370 horse 455 was optional. The MC was a great car and in the personal luxury category which was about to really explode in the 70s and early 80s.
Pete shea - The base engine for the 1970 Monte was a 350 2bbl. That’s why there were two 350’s offered. There were also two 400’s offered, although the 2bbl version was a small block. The 4bbl one was actually a 402 big block, which is what I have in my 1970....
@Pete shea I suggest you read what I wrote again and see that it is largely complementary to the MC so relax. So the MC had a 4 bbl 350 as a standard. The fact is the Thunderbird was an entire class above the MC and had one engine that was very well suited for it's mission of personal luxury, NOT 1/4 mile runs. Effortless highway travel all day and arriving relaxed. The MC was on a stretched Malibu frame, the Thunderbird and Mark III were on their own. Its apples and oranges.
My 69 grand orox would blow its doors off, 428 390hp 4 speed, the Monte Carlo never had a chance. Even the base model change code 400 would run right with the 454, it just made 10 more hp then the 400xh code Grand Prix, you can get that with a good intake swap
Your absolutely correct! Motor Trend tested the 390 hp 428HO resulting in a 14.1 1/4 mile. Dyno tuned Royal Bobcat versions were tested in the mid 13's.
He said it... only auto in the SS Wiki: Turbo Hydra-Matic three-speed automatic was the only transmission available for this package. The rear axle came standard with a 3.06 ratio, with 2.56 and 3.31 available for $222 extra. The SS 454s were not popular with 3,823 units built for the year.
The '70 Monte was available with a 2 barrel 350, a 4 barrel 350, a 2 barrel 400 small block, a 402 big block, and the 454. All of the 454 cars had the SS package. A 4 speed was available with all of those engines, except for the 454. The SS package mandated a TH400 transmission. All was the same for 1971, except the 400 wasn't available in a Monte.
@@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS The information about the '70 Monte Carlo SS454 having a 2.73:1 rear gear is not correct. I've seen that posted many times, but the SS for 1970 actually came with a 2.56 ratio standard, with the option of getting a 3.31 ratio. The standard ratio for non-SS454 Montes in '70 was 2.73. For 1971, the 3.31 became the standard ratio for the SS. The car in this video belongs to a friend of mine, Jim Schneider, and it has the 2.56 ratio. I also have a '70 Monte SS454, and it also came with a 2.56. I've restored my car and I pulled the 2.56 posi and put a 3.55 in it last summer. Until then, it ran 105 mph in 2nd gear at 5500 rpm. I never tested to see what it would run at 5500 rpm in 3rd. I'm sure it would have been around 140. As you know, the Monte Carlo was not intended to compete at the drag strip with anyone.
@@danjanes8689 Wow, that is pretty cool you actually know the guy! Mine was in great shape for paint/body and green interior with the buckets and console and gripper shifter thing. The 454 was gone with a 350 4 barrel in it's place. Both my 70 and 71 would do burnouts just fine and we clocked a mile at 140 in the 71 once. Judging by this chart it seems like the SS was damn close to similar cars like the 396 SS Chevelle and Mach 1 Mustang so I'm not sure what he was on about. He probably had a 73 Swinger Duster that "run's 11's and pulls the tires off the ground and blown the tires off at 60, bone stock". I had to pay huge money for a custom built 500hp 383 stroker in my 83 Firebird with 4:10 gears and it still only ran a 13.54 at 104, it would sit about 5000 rpm at 65 when I blew the 700R4 overdrive and put in a TH350 with stall converter and shift kit in the valvebody. My friends 440hp 69 Charger was running in the 18's with tall gears I believe. Check out my cars & Metal playlist for both those cars and our friends 71 Challenger shredding tires in a 1996 VHS and many many more cars and trucks dude!
@@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS The floor shifters are commonly called horseshoe or staple shifters. I recently designed a great detent plate for them that converts them to a slap shifter. It's the best upgrade available for them. RUclips search for "True Slap", if interested in seeing how they work.
Interesting. He narrator talks about the 70 Grand Prix but that you couldn’t get real muscle. The 70 Grand Prix had an optional 455 with 370 hp. More than the montes 455. Maybe check facts before you make a misinformed video.Just s thought
The LS5 454 (not 455) was rated 390 hp at 4800 rpm in the Corvettes, but the exact same engine in a Chevelle or Monte was rated at 4400 rpm and 360 hp. Chevrolet liked to push for Corvette sales.

Really you couldn't got no real power in a Grand Prix how about the 455 ho 370 horsepower of 500 foot pounds of torque, the top engine in a Monte Carlo was the LS- 5 360 HP horsepower 👎
The 69 428 Ho 390hp Grand Prix would destroy that monte, I’ve owned both cars and the Grand Prix was by far the better looking, better performing and better built car out of the 2 and even in 1970 the Grand Prix came out with the 455HO that also had 390hp and over 500ft pounds of torque, the monte is a wannabe Grand Prix
Haters gotta hate. The LS5 360 hp rating was at 4400 rpm for '70, but the exact same engine was rated at 390 hp at 4800 rpm in the '70 Corvette. Some say they used a different cam in the 'vetted, but the specs show the same cam part number for both. Chevrolet and others played with the advertised ratings for marketing purposes.
@@danjanes8689the Corvette then as in most cases at least until the LS1/LS6 in 2004 had the best flowing factory exhaust, often a bit more compression, a bit more timing and better carb jetting because the lighter car was less likely to knock and was their performance leader. The average Monte had a 350sbc with 250hp, the average GP had a 350hp Pontiac 400.
Correct it shared a lot of the same structure. Common in many cars, like a PT Cruiser=Neon or a Mustang was a Falcon, Demon=Dart=Duster, Chevelle=Ventura=Omega
Not exactly. They shared alot of the same parts, but the wheelbase on the Monte is longer, resulting in better handling and ride. The first gen, as well as the later Montes, enjoyed great success in NASCAR because of their longer wheelbase.
0-60 mph. in 7.7 seconds? Hell, my 2010 Ford Taurus can do better than that (0-60 in 7.1 seconds). Mine also has two less cylinders to feed and gets 29 miles per gallon on the highway! Eat my dust you old relic!

Exactly, the '69 GP 428 390hp or '70 455 370hp could smoke any LS5 Monte.
My 69 grand orox would blow its doors off, 428 390hp 4 speed, the Monte Carlo never had a chance. Even the base model change code 400 would run right with the 454, it just made 10 more hp then the 400xh code Grand Prix, you can get that with a good intake swap

I had to pay huge money for a custom built 500hp 383 stroker in my 83 Firebird with 4:10 gears and it still only ran a 13.54 at 104, it would sit about 5000 rpm at 65 when I blew the 700R4 overdrive and put in a TH350 with stall converter and shift kit in the valvebody. My friends 440hp 69 Charger was running in the 18's with tall gears I believe. Check out my cars & Metal playlist for both those cars and our friends 71 Challenger shredding tires in a 1996 VHS and many many more cars and trucks dude!
@@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS The floor shifters are commonly called horseshoe or staple shifters. I recently designed a great detent plate for them that converts them to a slap shifter. It's the best upgrade available for them. RUclips search for "True Slap", if interested in seeing how they work.
@@danjanes8689 That's it, I couldn't remember "horsehoe" I know some early Camaros had them too

Interesting. He narrator talks about the 70 Grand Prix but that you couldn’t get real muscle. The 70 Grand Prix had an optional 455 with 370 hp. More than the montes 455. Maybe check facts before you make a misinformed video.Just s thought
Well, it was a 454 in the Monte but only a wimpy 450HP at 5600 and 500lbs torque at 3600 apparently
The LS5 454 (not 455) was rated 390 hp at 4800 rpm in the Corvettes, but the exact same engine in a Chevelle or Monte was rated at 4400 rpm and 360 hp. Chevrolet liked to push for Corvette sales.
I will take a fully loaded Monte ss 454 for 5 stacks please.
Yeah, I'd take that deal!

Ok!
Really you couldn't got no real power in a Grand Prix how about the 455 ho 370 horsepower of 500 foot pounds of torque, the top engine in a Monte Carlo was the LS- 5 360 HP horsepower 👎

The 69 428 Ho 390hp Grand Prix would destroy that monte, I’ve owned both cars and the Grand Prix was by far the better looking, better performing and better built car out of the 2 and even in 1970 the Grand Prix came out with the 455HO that also had 390hp and over 500ft pounds of torque, the monte is a wannabe Grand Prix
Hey!! You said the same thing 2 years ago!
Haters gotta hate. The LS5 360 hp rating was at 4400 rpm for '70, but the exact same engine was rated at 390 hp at 4800 rpm in the '70 Corvette. Some say they used a different cam in the 'vetted, but the specs show the same cam part number for both. Chevrolet and others played with the advertised ratings for marketing purposes.
@@danjanes8689the Corvette then as in most cases at least until the LS1/LS6 in 2004 had the best flowing factory exhaust, often a bit more compression, a bit more timing and better carb jetting because the lighter car was less likely to knock and was their performance leader. The average Monte had a 350sbc with 250hp, the average GP had a 350hp Pontiac 400.
the monte was nothing more then a re-bodied chevelle
Correct it shared a lot of the same structure. Common in many cars, like a PT Cruiser=Neon or a Mustang was a Falcon, Demon=Dart=Duster, Chevelle=Ventura=Omega
@@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS ventura and omega were nova based cars ..
@@merc-ni7hy Right, I meant nova but wrote chevelle, lol
Not exactly. They shared alot of the same parts, but the wheelbase on the Monte is longer, resulting in better handling and ride. The first gen, as well as the later Montes, enjoyed great success in NASCAR because of their longer wheelbase.
0-60 mph. in 7.7 seconds? Hell, my 2010 Ford Taurus can do better than that (0-60 in 7.1 seconds). Mine also has two less cylinders to feed and gets 29 miles per gallon on the highway! Eat my dust you old relic!
Yeah but... you drive a Taurus! LOL!! (just kidding, is it at least an SHO?)
This is like comparing Kim KarTrashian to Marilyn Monroe -

Haha, I had a primered 71 I used to tear up the street just like his... it was Awesome!!
