History
Well...what do we say about this car? The condition is incredible. Look at the interior. I am like 3rd owner from New. An Ex San Fransicso car. I am a Blues Brothers movie tragic...having watched the movie over 100 times. The Jake & Elwood "Blues Mobile" has certainly become a cult car - even rare now in the United States.
This is a 1974 Dodge Monaco Custom sedan, powered by the 360 V8. It runs around a 2.6:1 rear gear, so the legs on the freeway are astounding for what she is. Having said this, the 360 sounds the goods, and the body of this car is immaculate. It is a rust-free car, with just 34,000 original miles on the clock @ time of writing this. Some elderly people owned the car originally - and a tell tale sign is carpet off-cuts from their house (orange) used as floor mats. This would be one of the finest "bodied" 1974 Monaco possibly in the world now...you simply cannot find this condition.
As horrible as they looked, draping over the Dodge blue pile covering - the original floor carpet was protected and is like new. My good friend Murray Park from Ohio reluctantly sold me the car, stating that "if it has to be sold Fletch, I want you to have it" - it goes without saying that THIS car, like my others, are in a good home. Cheers Fletch :-)
