1976 Dodge Monaco Royal review from North America
"I Love It, Comfortable And Beautiful To Cruise In"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first obtained the vehicle, it was fully surface rusted on the rocker panels, due to an incomplete refinishing job.
The corners of the dash are torn.
The Fuel Gauge doesn't work.
The plugged air cleaner was replaced.
The Exhaust Y pipe and the travel pipe came apart, a slip joint was used to remedy the problem. There is also several holes in the exhaust.
The pickup in the distributor failed, replaced it and the car works again.
New battery.
The hubcaps don't stay on very well.
General comments?
It's pretty slow off the line, but it moves when it gets its momentum up, I can match an Acura Integra at about 50 MPH and start beating him.
I could go cross canada non stop and still be comfortable when I arrived.
Equipped with a AM 8 track radio.
It gets approximately 270 Miles to a tank and its 90$ to fill (@ 91.9 Cents/Litre)
