The 2005 Tony Stewart Signature Series SS Monte Carlo
Chevrolet will pay tribute to one of NASCAR's recent champions with 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.
A total of 1,020 units of the Tony Stewart Signature Series Monte Carlo will be available
( So You Might Not Get To See One Of These ! )
"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 is a black supercharged Monte Carlo built with 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 with
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 with 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 with 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 with Ebony leather
seating surfaces, a racing-inspired grill and 17-inch black-accented diamond-cut cast aluminum wheels.
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 with their favorite Chevy race cars and drivers.

A special component of the Signature Series collection is the money it has generated
for charity. For each Signature Series Monte Carlo produced, Chevrolet contributes a
portion of the proceeds to a charity selected by the driver. The special edition Monte
Carlos for Dale Earnhardt, Jeff Gordon, the Intimidator and Dale Earnhardt Jr.
have together raised more than $1 million for a variety of non-profit organizations.
