1965 Dodge Monaco, 2 door hardtop, 383 engine with 66000 original miles. Recently painted to original colour and bumpers re-chromed. Car has been passed down through the generations within the same family since original purchase and has been well cared for and maintained. Runs excellent. Never winter driven. Needs to be seen to be appreciated.


This car really appeals to me. Fender skirts need to go though.

i agree......they def take away from the overall sleek look

 

[polara71]

Yeah, those cars have great lines without the skirts..........they make it square.

Looks rock solid, just get in, drive and enjoy this one.

The Canadian's must warehouse these beauties every winter to preserve them.

It's on the list. It's a 10 hour/500 mile trip for me. I'll have to get a passport soon. Have you been to it? Carlisle in July, Moparfest in August. Sounds good to me.

 

[polara71]

Yes, 8 years ago and 7 years ago. Do the triple crown, Carlisle in July, Mopar Nationals then Moparfest all in five weeks.

That is a great summer tour! And stop to see the Chrysler Museum too!

 

[detmatt]

Don't forget to time your trip to the Motor City aroun the Woodward Dream Cruise!
I would like to do Moparfest Too, and Mopars at the strip in Vegas, Monster Mopars in Indy next weekend, etc..

 

[polara71]

Always thought of the dream cruise but the big weekend is also on Moparfeat weekend

I might squeeze in a side trip to the Chrysler Museum on one of my trips to Wisconsin. Probably spend the night and see the museum the next day.

If your going to do that then you may want to add an extra day or two and visit Greenfield village and the Henry Ford museum in Dearborn.... Both world class.

That's a great idea! I'll call my Cousin in Green Bay and he can fly in to Detroit and we can see the Museums and drive back to GB and see the Packer game.

I saw the Kellogs museum.......that was enough of Michigan for me

The cereal museum?

 

[polara71]

Yes, that was interesting

That's cool. When I was a kid we went on a school field trip to Nestle Chocolate Factory in Burlington, Wisconsin. That was a blast! They don't have tours anymore but have a chocolate Museum to visit. Every time I drive home to Wisconsin, I've seen a Nestle billboard at the same place on the Tri-State Bypass (I-294) in Chicago for decades. The billboard reminds me of that field trip as a kid.

 

[polara71]

It must have left an impression

Back in the 80s I was driving from Detroit to Chicago and saw the sign for Battle Creek and the Kellogg factory tour. Took it and was given my own box of cereal at the end. I still remember the smell in the air of cooked/toasted grains. Do they still do the tours?
