Of course the pictures of the stick are out of focus. Seems like a decent price if the car is as nice as it appears.

Cool car , but those '68 side marker lights look ridiculous. IMHO

Did they offer a four speed in a 65 Monaco? I thought these Monacos were top trim level and luxury package cars. Never heard of a Monaco 4 speed but hey, I'm new and still learning the ropes.

i also don't see see a lick of Monaco trim or hood ornament and lettering... Just side badges.

 

[commando1]

Yep. They did. It was a very good era.

He says recently painted. It is also missing the rubber on the bumper guards as well as the turn signals. Maybe has not gotten around to finishing it yet.

Not only were they offered with a 4 speed but you could have gotten a 426W also, auto or 4 speed. Yep, I have one (possibly the only one in existence and with proof). Before you ask again Jim, still holding on to her, lol!! Something else to ponder for your info....3 speed manual was standard tranny in a '65 Monaco....4 speed and auto were optional.

I have a 65 Monaco that I bought from the guy who bought it used from Chrysler. A program car I had paperwork on it when I 1st bought it.. Came with a 383 4 barrel and single exhaust. And I have a lot of work to do. The floor shifter on the cable shifted 727 is smooth, it rode super nice back 20 + years ago. I wanted a 67-68 Monaco and the owner called me up as I was the only one in my town that had interest on the older Mopars. I have the build sheet on it and should have sent the Chrysler Historical Society the serial so maybe I could find who had it new.

I had a '66 as my first car. Would love to see your car's pic.

The old run around, what a toolbag. "It might be this or that, I have to check...til then what would you pay me for it!?"

That HD three speed in the C body is a rare piece for that car, I've been looking for years.

I thought that 3 spd. was just the std. 3 spd that came with the /6's and SB's. No??

No, the C body three speed in 1961 was a French made transmission. Alot of problems, enouth that Chrysler put in a H.D. truck three speed for durability in 1962. To the best of my knowledge 1964 they went with a four speed manual trans that carried over for years. My '62 300 has this option which in that car is very rare, but with no official numbers its speculative. One blog I heard of says one of six.

Thanks, Pete. I got lost and was thinking you were referring to the C-bodies.

That is correct that you may not appreciate the side markers but to me that is icing on the cake!

But, But I didn't even ask in this thread. :laughing4: I think this makes you a crossposter if that's even a word, or me a PITA.
Hope your well John
