1970 Monaco kijiji

You might remember this sight for sore eyes just before the NYer got "destroyed."

RWL tires would look good on a 300 if we're talking Chryslers, including the Hurst 300.
But the 1" WW visually looks correct on a NYer or Imp IMO.

Tim, perhaps you can describe the circumstance that led you to the car? mike

I think the riddlers look better than the road wheels. Sick of seeing every single c body with W23 and WWs.

You are missing an opportunity with the other set of shoes you could have.

Hi Mike,
I don't want to hijack this thread, but if you go the search box, and type: My E86 New Yorker from Ecorse MI, and you'll find the thread.

I'm looking forward to seeing what Tobias does next to Monaco.

Weather was pretty decent this afternoon 63 and sunshine, it was time to take the Monaco for a little drive after replacing the fuel system and brakes.

Pulled out 2 build sheets tonight maybe someone can tell when the car was build and maybe why is it saying show car finish.

The SPD is 7/31 of '69. So it was built somewhere around that time.

The assignment of SPDs to VINs early and late in the year get a little wonky and here's a good example. Compare this car's VIN and SPD to two other early cars. They have lower VINs and later SPDs. (This is a good example of WHY VINS don't matter to production. A VIN is simply a number assigned to a car. )

What gives us better direction is the sequence number on the Broadcast Sheet. Different plants handled the sequence number on the BS differently. Given my quick look at other '70 Windsor sheets, it appears that they numbered the sheets sequentially meaning....sheet number 001879 would be the 1,879th sheet printed at the plant for that year. Meaning this car was, likely, built very early in the model year. Combine this rough assembly sequence estimate with the Y39 SPECIAL ORDER the Y93 SHOW CAR FINISH code and the early SPD, it's my semi educated guess this car was assigned and built early to be a promo car for the Canada market.

BUT..that's just my guess.
