1973 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners love the 1973 Chevrolet Monte Carlo for its stunning looks, comfortable ride, and impressive power. Many appreciate its unique design and vintage charm, making it a joy to drive. However, some have pointed out concerns about the quality of interior materials and the limitations of features like the limited slip differential."
You'd be hard pressed to find another classic car these days with such versatility. It rides like a dream, handles curves well for its vintage, and has ample power in any trim. Most notably, it is undoubtedly anything but subtle with gi-normously beautiful voluptuous curves. I would also have to say that it is the coolest car I have ever had the joy to own and drive and can't imagine ever getting rid of it. On the mechanical/technical side of things.... It's a fairly simple enough auto that anyone with basic mechanical skills can maintain. The downside to these cars is basically that by these years the corporate 'corner cutting' and cheapening of materials is most evident in the interior trim. And thanks to Ralph Nader, this model year Monte had mandatory front bumper shock absorbers. Rear shock absorbers were not utilized on Montes until 1974 thus leaving the profile of the 73 a true standalone.
March 7, 2007The body is stand alone one of a kind I don't care what anyone says. I have had mine for 2 1/2 year never a single prob. Mine has the 5.7 350 v8 in it. I installed a 650 Edelbrock carb in replace of the stock 2bbl. I only have one thing I wish was fixed I hate limited slip differential!!!!!! There should be a law against Cars or Trucks having them. Positraction All the Way!!!
January 8, 2010paid $475 for my 1st car at age of 17. Engine and powetrain were solid, but body was bondo city. bench seats. love it. scored with room for any position. White.
