15. Chevrolet Monte Carlo
If you’re looking for a classic ’70s model, search for a first-generation Chevrolet Monte Carlo. Interestingly, Chevrolet built it on a modified Chevelle platform. The Monte Carlo was a handsome coupe-only car with V8 engines, an attractive interior, and decent performance.
Although most Monte Carlos came with some smaller V8 engines, there was one crazy muscle option in the form of the SS 454 package. However, most of the cars had those smaller 350 and 396 V8 engines. Even though the 454 V8s are expensive, the affordable 350 or 396 V8s are certainly powerful enough.
