Just for trivia's sake it's the same with Pontiac Grand Prix, both the Monte and GP are actually labeled G bodies rather than A bodies like the Chevelle, GTO, Cutlass, Skylark...

Ben, you are probably correct, but I was thinking that the longer wheelbase (112" vs. 116") started in 71'. It seems to me as though the 70' models are the same dimensionally. I will do some research...
...and I stand corrected. 70'-72 cars are same wheelbase. I apologize for the mis-information concerning the frame guys!!!!!! In 70' the General had a "split A" platform for the Monte Carlo, before actually calling these G-bodies. They were originally an A-body car. This is what had me thinking that the 70' Monte was same wheelbase as the Chevelle.
