1968 Dodge Monaco 500 – 383 Magnum HP

[Aquaman]

Odometer reads 59,368. I believe this car was originally from California. Car has just about every option that was in the book. No rust or rot anywhere. Stainless steel trim. Interior is original in very good condition. Original Big Block 383 cubic inch High Performance Mopar V8 topped by the original coded 4 bbl Carter AVS carburetor. Cylinder heads were machined with new valves, guides and hardened valve seats (to accommodate unleaded gas) by Drakes Engine Shop in Rochester. Runs great and goes like a bat out of hell. Factory 15” wheels and front disc brakes. Newer 235/75R15 tires. Has factory AC but not currently working.

Wow! The car is a beauty. :eusa_clap: If I didn't already have one I'd be tempted. Hard to tell from the pics but does it have a console mounted tach or vac guage? Those unknown codes could be for the bumper guards and fender top signal indicators both of which were optional.

My dad wants that car but only has his two sunroof cars for trading possibilities. Your car is gorgeous!!

 

[Aquaman]

No tach or vac gauge.
