J/4 = Does the car have a power bucket seat?

Yes, it has a LH power bucket seat. Thanks.

Were there ever any US-made Monaco's that were sold in Canada - and what tail lights did they have?

Thats a good question where the answer may be lost through the sands of time.

Not uncommon to have a parts shortage and install whatever they had at their disposal as the cars rolled down the assembly line.
I have a buddy with a late build 74 Charger and when he replaced the fuel tank it was wrong. Turned out it left the factory with a 1975 tank.
Just a loose example.

1967 was an odd year as more "free trade" was happening since the signing of the 1965 Autopact agreement.
The Liberal government of Lester B. Pearson, in an attempt to increase exports to the United States, negotiated and signed the Canada-U.S. Automotive Products Agreement (known as the Auto Pact) in 1965. It created a single North American market for motor vehicles and parts. This agreement allowed manufacturers to rationalize their production for one market, and lower consumer prices. Canada was able to increase its share in the Canada-U.S. automotive industry to about 10 percent, which was double the pre-1965 figure.

All of the Chrysler models destined for Canada were now built on the American side.
The last Canadian Chrysler rolled out of Windsor in late June 1966 and the Windsor nameplate was dropped.
1967 also seen Windsor build cars for the U.S. market.
Our full sized Dodges is one example.
As mentioned before, marketing created a lot of unique cars and thats why we are still trying to figure WTH they were thinking.

Through the years, various A and B body cars were Windsor built and crossed the Ambassador Bridge when brand new.

Prior to the Auto Pact, Windsor built cars exclusively for the Canadian market, and cars being exported to other British Commonwealth countries ( There were no import tarrifs within the Commonwealth. Thats why we saw British cars buzzing around Canada at that time.)
They partially built Austrailian C bodies and the final RHD assembly completed in Austrailia.

Also prior to Auto Pact, Chrysler Canada had to use Canadian sourced parts suppliers.
One of the main reasons our Dodges got Fury interior parts, and in the past we got " Plodges"

So by the early 1970's there were no obvious differences between US and Canadian cars.
A lot of distinct Canadian models disappeared with only the Pontiac Parisienne last up to the late 80's ( and was sold in the US too)
Sorry for the long post.

Has U.S. VIN DP for Monaco 500 and US sequential number respectively.
Code 83..440 Magnum! Rare gem!

That is not code w/6. That is part of the inspection stamp 67. Notice the 6 is impressed into the tag, not pressed out like a sales code. Plus, in my estimation, the 10*** SO also indicates a US sold car.

Thanks for clarifying that. Good to know!

Looks like I got Inspector 74.

Looks like Windsor used screws on their fender tags and Belvidere used rivets.
