Burton and Taylor in Monte Carlo in 1970

In 1970, Chevrolet introduced a car called the Chevrolet Monte Carlo which went through six generations of production until 2007.

Carlo Secillano Favagrossa ( 22 November 1888-22 March 1970 ), was an Italian general and politician.

The Chevelle also provided the platform for the Monte Carlo introduced in 1970.

The similar Chevrolet Monte Carlo followed in 1970.

Buick had been the first GM division to bring a personal luxury car to market with its full-size 1963 Riviera but was otherwise slow to react to the developing lower-priced mid-size personal luxury market, which Pontiac created with the 1969 Grand Prix and Chevrolet with the Monte Carlo the following year, 1970.

Cincinnati ( 1973 ), Monte Carlo ( 1970 ), Canada ( 1973 & 1974 ), Rome ( 1973 & 1975 ), and Hamburg ( 1976 & 1977 ).

The Chevrolet Monte Carlo was an American-made two-door coupe introduced for model year 1970, and manufactured over six generations through model year 2007.

Weighing only a bit more than a comparably equipped Chevelle SS 454, the Monte Carlo SS was quite a fast car, although it accounted for less than 3 % of Monte Carlos sold in 1970.

A labor strike at Chevrolet's Flint, Michigan assembly plant ( where most Monte Carlo production was scheduled ) during the early months of the 1970 model year immediately following the car's introduction on September 18, 1969 limited overall model-year sales to 159, 341 ; short of the projected 185, 000.

He won the Tour de Corse in 1969, and placed second at the Monte Carlo Rally in 1969, 1970 and 1972.

Maestri went back to Cerro Torre in 1970 with Ezio Alimonta, Daniele Angeli, Claudio Baldessarri, Carlo Claus and Pietro Vidi, trying a new route on the southeast face.

Notable in motorsports are: Two time DTM ( Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters ) and Race of Champions winner Mattias Ekström, Multiple Speedway World Champion Tony Rickardsson ; British Touring Car Champion Rickard Rydell and the IRL and Indy 500 champion Kenny Bräck, F1 Grand Prix winner, Ronnie Peterson and Björn Waldegård who won the Safari Rally in 1977, the Monte Carlo Rally in 1969 and 1970 as well as the British RAC Rally in 1977.

Amadeo Bordiga ( 1889 – 1970 ) and the “ Revolutionary Socialist Club Carlo Marx ” of Naples were decisive influences amongst the Intransigent Revolutionaries, and have remained fundamental references points in the history of the Sinistra.

According to the pentito Francesco Di Carlo, the journalist Mauro De Mauro was killed in September 1970 because he had learned that Borghese – one of De Mauro's childhood friends – was planning the coup.
