This is my all original 1974 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Landau coupe, purchased on July 13, 2007 with 60, 341 miles on it. This car was built on June 19, 1974 in Oshawa Ontario, Canada. It was then sent to Art Moehn Chevrolet Company in Jackson, Michigan to be sold. A lady by the name of Kelly Haywood of Albion, Michigan bought it brand new with only 6 miles on it on August 19, 1974 for the price of $4,585.32. She also had it rust proofed with Sym-Tech Rustproofing at the time of purchase for the price of $75.00. The engine is a 350CID V8 with a Rochester 2BBL carburetor. It has a Turbo 350 3 speed automatic transmission. The car has no air conditioning, but it does have factory cruise control that still works. The car originally came with just an AM radio. There is now a Ken Harrison KHE-300 AM/FM classic radio in the car. It also has an auxiliary jack for for CD player, iPod, etc. I do still have the original AM radio, knobs and speakers. It has original everything. It is all numbers matching, the air pump is still intact and in operation. The seat belt interlock system works, all buzzers work. The paint is 99% original, the pinstripe(factory standard on ZO3 Landau option) is also original. The interior is 100% original with a perfect 100% crack free dash. It has Deluxe seat belts, as well. The Rally wheels, caps and rings are also original. The jack and spare have never been out of the trunk. I have full original documentation on the car, with the exception of the original window sticker, but I have made a reproduction of one in Microsoft Excel, and it looks like an original.
Newest improvements to the Monte Carlo:
New Flowmaster(50 series) dual exhaust(see video at bottom of page).
New rebuilt carburetor.
New trunk mat from The Paddock.
New radio and new rear speakers.
1973 Monte Carlo horn pad.

Stay tuned.
