1966 Monaco four speed

[Ross Wooldridge]

Thanks!
In the end, whether it's 15% or 1.5%, the numbers are low low low.

Thanks!

Same conclusion I came up with for my 300.

 

[Ross Wooldridge]

Agreed. Very rare.

Is the square speedometer a Canadian market thing? Or, like Ross said, a 500 edition thing?

All Canadian production Dodge C bodies used Fury interiors.

What's the story on the Imperial?

 

[68 4spd Fury]

Nice finds and good rescue! Tell your friend good luck!

Getting more pics taken of the car for everyone. The car has 67,XXX miles on it. Had a bunch of spare parts in the trunk along with the air cleaner. The roof doesn't look as bad as I thought.

My buddy bought the Imperial. It's a 69, gold with green interior. Lots of body damage and a pretty wrecked interior as well.

More pics.

Unfortunately, Canadian cars made in Windsor AFAIK did not get broadcast sheets left in cars for some strange reason.

One could assume FCA Historical still has the photo of the IBM card?

 

[Ross Wooldridge]

Canadian cards were destroyed in a fire years ago AFAIK.

Canadian cards were destroyed in a fire years ago AFAIK.

They suffered the same alleged fate as the '68 and later US cards? That's too bad.

 

[Dsertdog]

The car is almost too cool for words. Glad is recovered and I hope it can be saved!

1966 USA Monaco 500 production was roughly around 10,000 cars. 383 Four speed cars at 1.5 percent, so around 1500 cars so equipped. 440 Four speed cars at 1/10th of 1% total production, so 10 1966 Monaco 500s equipped as such in the USA.

Canadian production at the time was typically at 10% of USA volumes, so that puts Canadian Monaco 383 Four speed cars at roughly 150 so equipped, and 440 Four speed cars at 1 or 2.
FWIW.

1.5% of 10,000 is just 150, not 1,500.
.1% of 10,000 is 10...
So, Canadian production would be:
15 and one.

Gotta love decimals! Still rare as hell, no matter what.

Ross, check your math. 1.5% of 10,000 is 150, not 1500

He’s making up numbers anyway. It doesn’t matter....

You can’t twist numbers and guess at percentages no matter how good they sound in the end.

All I know is, it's one of four. One of four '66 full size Dodges I own.
