The Chevrolet Monte Carlo is an American-made two-door coupe introduced for model year 1970, and manufactured over six generations through model year 2007. It was marketed as a personal-luxury coupe through most of its history, with the last model version being classified as a full-sized coupe. In 1976 a new crosshatch grille and vertically mounted rectangular headlamps, along with reshaped taillights identified the 1976 Monte Carlo (the reshaped taillight pattern was later incorporated into the fourth generation Monte Carlo). Under the hood, a new 140 hp 305 CID 2-barrel V8 became the standard engine with the 145 hp 350 2-barrel V8 and 175 hp 400 CID V8 both optional. California cars got a 165 hp 350 4-barrel as the base engine (not available in 49 states), and could be equipped with the 400 4-barrel V8. The big-block 454 CID V8 was discontinued from the option list this year. The Turbo Hydramatic transmission became standard equipment on all 1976 Monte Carlos.This particular Monte Carlo shows only 48,850 original miles and has been meticulously maintained, always garaged and has been refinished in beautiful Red base, clear paint.
