1979 Monte Carlo For Sale
Introduced as part of Chevrolet’s A-Series in 1970, the Monte Carlo would go on a 19-year run through four vehicle generations that would cement it not only as an integral aspect of the muscle car era, but also as a critical benchmark in automotive history.
In 1995, Chevrolet would re-launch the Monte Carlo for two more vehicle generations that would span 13 years. While it was a success by most measures, Chevy was never quite able to capture the essence that had made the Monte Carlo so magical during the 1970s and in the early 1980s.
One particularly magical model was the 1979 Monte Carlo, which came on the heels of the dramatic redesign that Chevy had introduced for the 1978 model year. How could the 1979 Monte Carlo for sale compete with that? To exacerbate matters, it was competing alongside muscle car stalwarts such as the 1979 Chevy Camaro and the 1979 Pontiac Firebird.
Alongside those glory hogs, it was hard, and still is hard, for the 1979 Monte Carlo for sale to get all of the attention that it deserves. So, let’s take a moment now to shine a light on what is a truly fantastic vehicle. As we mentioned earlier, 1978 brought with it a radical redesign partially due to GM’s focus on fuel performance. The downsizing made the 1978 model 800 pounds lighter and a foot shorter than the model sold in 1977.
The 1979 Monte Carlo for sale was essentially the same, but it added a fine-patterned crosshatch grille, wraparound taillights, and segmented parking lights. Most of the trim and color choices from the 1978 model year remained, and Chevy broadened the selection for the 1979 model considerably.
The engine selection that Chevrolet offered for the 1978 model year was also essentially the same to what they offered with the 1979 Monte Carlo for sale. One can point to this decision as the beginning of the Monte Carlo’s decline because the engine selection was meager compared to what had been available in the recent past.
The engine lineup consisted of two V6 engines and two V8 engines. The smallest was a 200-cubic-inch V6 that produced only 94 horsepower. The larger 231-cubic-inch V6 generated 115 horsepower. The 267-cubic-inch V8 managed 125 horsepower while the most powerful option, the 305-cubic-inch V8, hammered out 160 horsepower.
Due to regulations in California, California Monte Carlos came with either a 231-cubic-inch V6 or a 305-cubic-inch V8. While the floor-shifted three-speed was the standard transmission made available by Chevy, California Monte Carlos all got the automatic transmission.
The 1979 Monte Carlo for sale known as the Landau was a special version that included the canopy-style vinyl roof treatment that would become popular on many cars in the early 1980s. Chevy described it as “an aristocratic arch of textured padded vinyl”, and included deluxe wheel covers, sport-styled mirrors, black rocker panels, and premium pin striping. A customer could also order any style 1979 Monte Carlo for sale with removable, tinted-glass roof panels that one could store in the trunk. This was an extremely popular style at the time affectionately referred to as a T-top.
While the stock motor options didn’t exactly scream muscle car, the framework was there for one. Aftermarket engine upgrades show off what the car was truly capable of when pushed to its limits. From today’s perspective, put a big block into a 1979 Monte Carlo, and you have amazing muscle on the relative cheap.
