This 1970 Monte Carlo SS represents one of only 3,823 genuine Super Sports, and don't forget, this was the first year for the Monte Carlo name. And if that wasn't special enough, the included factory buildsheet notes this was first sold/delivered to GM's Research Laboratories. So was GM checking in on the initial quality of this new model? Did they prototype some new features on this car? We don't know all of what they did at the Tech Center, but that kind of mystery certainly makes for a unique classic. We do know that GM ordered a loaded example for themselves that has all the best luxuries, numbers-matching big block power, and rarely-seen features like the lamp monitors.
Inside, the saddle-colored interior showcases luxury and performance in equal measure. Bucket seats with vinyl upholstery provide excellent support, while the horseshoe shifter rises from the center console. Power windows and locks offer convenience at your fingertips. The tilt steering column puts everything within reach, and both lap and shoulder belts reflect the era's advancing safety features. The factory rear defrost and AM radio round out the cockpit's impressive array of options.
The matching-numbers 454 cubic inch V8 delivers raw American muscle through a Holley 4-barrel carburetor. A TH400 3-speed automatic transmission channels the power smoothly to the rear wheels. The factory dual exhaust with Super Turbo mufflers produces an authoritative sound. Power steering and power brakes maintain control, while the suspension system featuring trailing arms with air shocks, coil springs, and sway bar in the rear delivers excellent road manners.
