Looks like a Monte Carlo, however back then the Chevy Monte Carlo, Olds Cutlass, and Buick Century were almost identical, but I believe thats the Chevy Monte Carlo. I'd guess around 1975.

By the way,
You wouldn't be interested in a 2000 SILVER L with lots of goodies in it would you?

Monte Carlo for sure. Looks like a '74. I think the 454 was still an option up to '74 too.

1974. Would have to see the back seat to be 100% sure, though...

Thumbs up

Thank all, from what I've heard from a buddy, it's a 1973. But he could always be wrong. But it is a Monte Carlo, how I could miss the MC on the side I don't know. TBL, the back seat??? Hmmmm.... I hope she was worth it.

p.s. Kobiashi, I would love to, but I finally have a 2001 on order, and I need to wait b4 I buy another vehicle. Thanks for the offer, good luck selling, hope things work out and you can keep it though. ALWAYS great to have a L owner so close to me.

Cool

That is DEFINATELY a '73 Monte Carlo!!! I would even bet my L on that!!! Besides, I think that was the only year that they made that shade of pukey color olive drab/pea soup green! That was the first year of the body style change from the original Monte Carlo platform. Just my $.02
