Condition
Represented as one of 1,919 built for 1971. Very good paint and chrome. Tight roof vinyl. The rocker trim doesn’t fit evenly. Excellent interior. Clean wheels. Clean and restored underneath. Fully redone to high standards. Monte Carlos typically didn’t get this kind of attention until fairly recently.
Market commentary
Offered by RM at Auburn Fall in 2018 where it was a $47,500 no-sale, appreciation of this unusual Monte Carlo variant has increased in recent years, as it should have. This still is a generous price for a Big Block Monte Carlo but it bought a rare combination of personal luxury and performance that deserves collector attention.
