Terry Barrett's '72 Monte Carlo

TRENTON — Even though Terry Barrett might not be a star, at least his car is.

That’s right — his 1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo has been on the silver screen. Even though it might have been a bit part, the car was used in the filming of the movie “Semi-Pro” starting Will Ferrell.

Barrett has owned his Monte Carlo for eight years. It has a big-block 402-cubic-inch motor under the hood and is all original.

What makes his car unique is not what it has, but what it doesn’t have. While it was very popular in the 1960s and ’70s for cars, especially the personal luxury cars like Monte Carlos, to come with a vinyl top, his does not.
