1977 Dodge Monaco into garage box

Parking my 1977 Dodge Monaco 225 slant six in the garage. It's gonna be a replica of the patrol car Rosco P. Coltrane drove on "the Dukes of Hazzard". My personal tribute to James Best.

225 sounds nice..

Even better now that the carb is tuned and the vacuum leaks fixed ;-)

Exhaust a cherrybomb.

I hope you realise how lucky you are to have one of these.... I have been wanting one for years but here in the UK they're harder to find than a flee on an elephants ass...... Take good care of it!

[fenderbaum2]

Will do, they are pretty rare around here too, I've seen only 3 or 4 different 75-78 Monaco/Coronet/Fury sedans in Belgium, so far...

[RAS4915]

are you going to leave the slant six in it or put in a V8?

[fenderbaum2]

I was thinking of a V8 originally, but the 225 Six will do. It's in tip-top condition; and the cost for swapping in a big V8 would be too much at the moment.

And it would make the overall cost of the project too high for a "simple" 77 Monaco sedan...

My dad has a black 1977 dodge monaco brougham 4 door with red velour inside he bougth it new its a wery nise and big car

[daniel55645]

i do love those. i like the style right before it a little better though

[aviatorz2fretz]

I grew up with this car. Someone hit it from the back and since then its been in storage. My dad passed it down to me. Im hoping to fix it one day.

wait... are u saying that the slant six sounds that good?... dam... i was aiming for one here in peru for $3500 but thought that would be hard to get the v8... but if the six sounds like that i will leave it....

[fenderbaum2]

You'll get around to it someday. If you find one, the advantage will be they're relatively cheap.

[fenderbaum2]

The early 70s fullsize MOPARS are are nice too, but the "small" 77 Monaco is already a tight enough fit in the garage

:-D

They used to wreck these by the hundreds. Think of Dukes of Hazzard, the A-Team, Knight rider, and all the other mindless American early-to-mid-80's tv action series and movies.

I have my eye on a red '73 2 door Polara, in mint condition. Now that's a biiig Dodge.
