"1973 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Landau
""The new Landau. A Monte Carlo and more. Matching the engineers' success, our designers have created the elegant Landau. The outstanding personal luxury car incorporates all mechanical features of the Monte Carlo S and adds its own distinctive styling. Like the Landau's special vinyl roof design. The result is a Monte Carlo as tasteful as it is well mannered on the road."" From the 1973 sales brochure.
For consignment, a 1973 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Landau with a title verified 58,495 actual miles. Our consignor has owned it for ten years and prior to that, it was a one family car. The car features a numbers matching transmission and newer tires all around.
Exterior
The single stage Antique White paint is sharply contrasted by the dark red vinyl roof and white tends to mute the body lines here, which present as two astounding swooping fender bulges that flow downward, as if being blown back by the wind. A dark pinstripe adds a line of color, and the vinyl roof surrounds the rear quarter window with amazing freshness and in a location that often suffers the first fates of time, this appears to be in great shape with one bubble on the passenger side. The single round headlights would give way to square stacked versions in '76, and the eggcrate grille remains bold and familiar. Ribbed tail lights are also familiar to old friends as many thousands of Montes wore them over the years and bookend the smooth lines of a decklid, latch panel, and contouring chrome bumper over large, polished exhaust tips. 15-inch Chevrolet Rally wheels are a nice compliment here and are wrapped in 215/75R15 tires with a date code no earlier than late 2023. Imperfections include cracking paint on the fenders, side mirrors and roof, touched up chips, scuffs, general patina, and a crack in the bumper filler.
Interior
Long door panels are super clean with a mix of Dark Red formed plastic and stitch patterned vinyl inserts along with mirror swivel, window crank, and even an ashtray. Bench seats were still a popular option in '73 and here we have a split bench in red cloth with elongated headrests, low profile by today's head restraint configurations, and in fantastic condition. The stitch and button backed rear bench is in equally nice condition with clean, unblemished sidewalls. A touch of faux woodgrain accenting dresses up the simple steering wheel which frames the simple gauge cluster, also in plastic wood trim, and you get a speedometer, odometer, and gas gauge and other than some idiot lights, with oil and water warning lights to the left. In the center, you have a clock, A/C controls and an AM/FM radio with a matching wood faceplate. The rest of the dash is showroom clean and the low pile red carpet has been kept nice with the use of mats and the headliner is picture perfect. The trunk is lined with a rubber mat and we note some chipping paint and surface rust on the underside of the deck lid.
Drivetrain
The bay has been detailed and houses a 350ci V8 with a 2-barrel carburetor and capable of generating 145 horsepower. It's mated to the numbers matching TH350 3-speed automatic transmission which routes power to the 10 bolt axle with 2.73 gears.
Undercarriage
Driver quality underneath with the typical surface rust and generally dry condition with a film of oil on the pans and some seepage on the rear differential. The dual exhaust runs through stainless steel mufflers on its way to widened chrome tailpipes. Power brakes are onboard as front disc and rear drum and suspension consists of coil springs front and rear with a 4 link included in back. While up on the lift, we note some rust forming on the pinch weld of the door bottoms.
Drive-Ability
The 350 comes to life with a healthy exhaust note and GM's familiar column shifter sets the car into Drive as we roll onto the test loop. Decent pick up is observed, straight tracking, and handling suitable for a family car is also experienced. We note the A/C is not working and the gas gauge shows beyond full. Other than that, all functional items work as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
Children of the 70's will remember this cabin well! The ubiquitous Monte Carlo showed up in middle class neighborhoods everywhere and burgundy was a popular interior color. Here's a survivor that's in very nice condition and brings back the memories. Sure, they were family cars, but with a good bit of sport thrown into the mix along with classic styling.
