This 1978 Chevrolet Monte Carlo is ostensibly one of a mere 1,719 specimens manufactured for that year, featuring a four-speed manual gearbox. Propulsion is derived from a 305 cubic inch LG3 V8 engine, and the vehicle boasts a white exterior complemented by a red vinyl-clad interior. Additional accouterments encompass power steering, power-assisted front disc brakes, and 15-inch American Racing Outlaw II rims. The cabin is adorned with air conditioning, a central console, and a retrofitted cassette stereo. The current proprietor acquired this Monte Carlo in 2020. The vehicle is now presented with recent maintenance records and a pristine Virginia title registered in the seller’s name.
The vehicle’s white paintwork was reapplied under previous ownership, featuring body-color bumpers, gleaming trim, dual side mirrors, and polished exhaust tips.
The 15-inch American Racing Outlaw II wheels are shod with 235/60 Cooper Cobra Radial G/T white-letter tires. Power steering facilitates maneuvering, while braking is managed by power-assisted front discs and rear drum brakes.
The interior showcases front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in red vinyl, harmonized with a matching dashboard, headliner, door panels, and carpeting. Interior features include air conditioning, a center console, a cassette stereo, and embroidered Monte Carlo floor mats. The seller notes the presence of minor interior imperfections.
The two-spoke steering wheel, adorned with an aftermarket wrap, frames an 80-mph speedometer, a fuel gauge, and an analog clock. The five-digit odometer indicates 10,000 miles, though the seller asserts it has rolled over, with approximately 1,000 miles accumulated under current ownership. Total mileage remains indeterminate.
The 305 cubic inch LG3 V8 engine, equipped with a two-barrel carburetor, was originally rated at 145 horsepower and 245 lb-ft of torque.
Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. The clutch and flywheel have been replaced during current ownership, and an aftermarket dual exhaust system has been installed.
