The 1970 Monte Carlo was Chevrolet’s first all-new model in four years. It had been revived in 1967 as a two-seat sports coupe with a more upright roofline and modern bodywork that ended up looking less like a 1955 model than it did a five-year-old design. To give the new car some extra sales appeal, Chevy also added the Camaro Z28 to the lineup for 1970. The overhauled Monte Carlo was very similar to the 1967 version, but it came with a brand new engine: The small block V-8 from Corvette. In fact, cars were built on an extended version of Chevy’s “C2 architecture, which underpins both the Corvette and Camaro. But what would GM chief executive officer David McLellan make of another small-block V-8? This time, it appeared on an entry-level economy car that was supposed to compete with Ford’s popular Escort—not with midpriced sportsters like Camaro. However, Chevrolet had bigger plans for this car than just lower price points and volume production. Its V6 engine had been introduced in 1969 as an option on Coupe models only; Cars with V8s got their own V6 instead. The smaller blocks were used on the ‘69 Corvair Monza Two-Door Hardtop when it became available in July of that year after redesigning it into an independent rear suspension (IRS).

The decade started with the new Monte Carlo, Chevrolet’s first all-new car since 1967. The new-generation Monte Carlo was available as a coupe or a two-door hardtop. It was pared down and inexpensive, shared many body panels with its high-end cousin, the Corvette, and features Chevrolet’s standard “Powerglide” automatic transmission. By the end of the decade, the Monte Carlo had been completely redesigned and restyled.
The 1970 Monte Carlo was the first C2-based model to use a V-8 engine. It was a tested engine from the Corvette, but was a new design for the small block. The engine was built on an aluminum block with a cast iron cylinder head. The engine was fed by twin Carter 32-valve heads, which GM engineers had initially feared would be noisy. But they were designed to be quieter than the exhaust-driven Corsa engine from the ‘59 Impala and the ‘69 Corvair Monza. The small block was rated at 200 hp at 4,400 rpm with 185 lb-ft of torque at 3,600 rpm. The engine was mated to a new Powerglide automatic transmission that could manage either a Porsche/Chevy clutchless shift or a conventional clutch.
The Monte Carlo’s interior received a major overhaul. It was redesigned in-house at GM’s Center-of-Excellence in Warren, Michigan. New interior features included a column-mounted shifter, a glove box light controlled by a switch on the door, and a new steering wheel. The seats were upholstered in vinyl and were equipped with shoulder harnesses. A new option for the Monte Carlo was the vinyl roof.
Power windows, power door locks, an AM/FM radio, a rear defroster, ventilation, and a heater were standard. Other options offered included air conditioning, a power sunroof, a rear window sunshade, plush carpeting, and power seats. New options for the Monte Carlo included an automatic dimmer rear window, and a rear defogger.
In its August 1970 issue, Consumer Reports found the Monte Carlo to have “a long list of features, a good interior, and a reasonably efficient drivetrain.” But the magazine also reported that “The Monte Carlo has been redesigned, yet it still looks like a 1957 model. It’s still a decidedly unradical car.” The Monte Carlo was something of a gamble for Chevrolet, but it was a gamble that paid off in the long run. The Monte Carlo’s price was just $2,070 for the coupe and $2,580 for the hardtop.
