1976 Dodge Monaco Police special from North America - Comments

"A big, gas-sucking beast that's an interesting, head-turning cruiser"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Over the ten years I've had it, just about everything (probably because it was badly neglected by the previous owners).

Most frustrating was maintaining the 4-barrel Carter Thermo-Quad carburetor (now replaced with a new Carter AFB).

Typical Dodge B-body rust (cowl below windshield, fenders/panels behind front and rear wheels).

General comments?

It's built like a tank, especially since it was a police car.

Despite its age, the paint and interior have held up pretty well (up until the last couple of years that is; the Texas sun is just too brutal).

I still get "blues mobile" shouts from other drivers, which gives me a warm fuzzy. Then I step on the gas, light up the tires (highway gear ratio means it's easier if they're wet), and watch my gas guage plummet.
