Is your car aTony Stewart Edition?

2005 Chevrolet Monte Carlo news, pictures, specifications, and information


TweetChevrolet Announces Tony Stewart Signature Series Monte Carlo


Chevy's 10th Racing-Themed Production Car Will Be Available In Early 2005

Chevrolet will pay tribute to one of NASCAR's recent champions wîth the introduction of the 2005 Tony Stewart Signature Series Monte Carlo. The limited edition vehicle is the 10th NASCAR-inspired Monte Carlo that Chevrolet has created over the last five years.

'We are delighted to announce the latest edition to the Signature Series Monte Carlo line as an on-going effort to recognize NASCAR and Chevy's past and present driving stars,' said Jim Campbell, director of car marketing for Chevrolet. 'The Tony Stewart Signature Series Monte Carlo is a perfect way to honor Tony's success on and off the race track.'

The Tony Stewart Signature Series will be a black supercharged Monte Carlo built wîth many elements of Stewart's No. 20 Home Depot Chevrolet subtly incorporated into the vehicle.

The exterior of the vehicle is modeled closely after Stewart's night race paint scheme wîth an all black body complimented by Stewart's signature displayed on the sail panel and No. 20 graphics and Home Depot orange accents prominently lining the bottom trim of the vehicle. A Joe Gibbs Racing signature badge is also displayed on the rear decklid. The attention to custom detailing is also prevalent within the interior of the Monte Carlo wîth Stewart's signature embroidered on the head restraints, displayed on the door sill plates and positioned within the gauge cluster. The gauge cluster also contains orange-outlined white numerals in the same typeface as exterior graphics and Stewart's signature while both front seats are accented wîth orange French seams.

Beyond a unique design concept, the Monte Carlo maintains its powerful supercharged 3800 V6 engine, delivering 240 horsepower and 280 lb.-ft of torque. Other features include a heavy-duty four speed automatic transmission, sport front bucket seats wîth Ebony leather seating surfaces, a racing-inspired grill and 17-inch black-accented diamond-cut cast aluminum wheels.

A total of 1,020 units of the Tony Stewart Signature Series Monte Carlo will be available later this year. Pricing has not yet been announced.

'I am honored to be recognized as a part of an elite group of Chevrolet drivers and NASCAR champions,' said Tony Stewart. 'The Signature Series Monte Carlo is a unique way to promote the sport of NASCAR while also raising money for many important charities through The Tony Stewart Foundation.'

Chevrolet will make a donation from the sale of the Tony Stewart Signature Series Monte Carlo to The Tony Stewart Foundation, a private, non-profit corporation which focuses on raising and donating funds to help care for chronically ill children, drivers injured in motorsport activities and to help other charitable organizations.

The Tony Stewart Signature Series Monte Carlo is the 10th NASCAR-themed vehicle Chevrolet has produced over the last five years. Five Signature Series Monte Carlos and five Pace Car replicas have been offered as a unique way for racing fans to connect wîth their favorite Chevy race cars and drivers.
