**** hot.
yeah i tried to find more pics on that one.
theres a TON of "hot" 67-68 Monacos/Polaras...and other C bodies out there. 1,000's literally - i was surprised!
something else you dig from that era is bound to show up, or you toss on a few more you picked out?

Then I got my 68 Monaco and put those 15" on out of necessity. (Fury went to heaven that day)
The minimal thing grew on me esp as the car wasn't a 500 and was very sparse on trim. I opted for a set of black m body rims, BFGs w/ RWL and some 80s dog dishes. Suited the car nicely, I thought.
With my new girl, I can't get over how burly the wheel covers look on it. I know I'll wind up getting a set of something or another for cruising bye aesthetically can't imagine what I'll do.

Its funny, I think I was a lil tunnel visioned when I had my first two Cs. My 69 SF was such a trash heap I just wanted some sneaks on it that didn't have thrown belts. I had some 15" steelies lying around, painted them up, took them to Goodyear, slapped on some eagle gt IIs and then found out the front sub was twisted and rotten... after a month of hacking a sub in that was WORSE than it's original, I threw the steelies back on and promptly snapped the steering coupling.theres a TON of "hot" 67-68 Monacos/Polars...and other C bodies out there. 1,000's literally - i was surprised!
