1968 Dodge Monaco 500 review from North America
"It's an awesome land yacht!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car was restored in 2004 and neglected by 2 subsequent owners. Replaced starter and coil. Also repairs to engine wiring harness. Looks like the exhaust manifold gaskets and valve cover gaskets should be replaced also. Otherwise a solid straight car that runs down the road nicely. Not bad for a 40 year old classic!
General comments?
This is my weekend cruiser. Originally a 383 car now with a 440 out of a 75 New Yorker.
