My 1972 Dodge Monaco 360 2bbl

[Tobias74]

I would like to show my 72 Monaco wagon,I brought the Wagon 2 months ago from a known Mopar collector in Red Deer Alberta and imported it to Washington.
The wagon has 53tmls on the speedometer and drives fabulous I was first optimistic about the 360 2bbl but I have to say I’m positive surprised how peppy the wagon is, the previous owner had a bunch of maintenance done to the wagon including a new dual exhaust system that sounds great, the cruise control works perfectly and the air conditioning system works great.
I did replace so far all 4 shocks and had the brake booster rebuilt by power brake booster exchange 3 day turnaround now the wagon stops perfectly.

I got my first 360 26 years ago and have been a strong supporter ever since. Great strong engine.

Congrats on acquiring DP46K2D252423 -- I love that specific color combo. It would be great to see a close shot of the fender tag that I see in one photo.

Congrats on your new wagon! Such a well kept car from 52 years ago. Nothing says the '70s like the earth tone colors of beige and green. I always liked the woodgrain trim of that year, just enough, almost like an accent instead of covering almost the entire side. Hideaway headlights have always been a favorite of mine too. The 360 was a strong running motor, even in the wagons it didn't lack power. I see it's from Barberton Ohio. That is about an hour and a half from me here in SW Pennsylvania. Thanks for posting the pics. Have fun.

Looks like quite a score on that one! These wagons are really making a resurrection from from junk piles, im glad to see many more coming out these days. And yes 360 2 barrels were impressive, had one in a 71 newport 4 dr that would shame any 400, including mercs and fords. Again Congrates on that monaco wagon, VERY NICE!

[FURYGT]

Thanks for sharing. Nice find! I'm really getting to like that front end styling.

I was last weekend on my way to Denver CO with the wagon on my trailer everything went smoothly until Laramie WY where my truck decided to break down in the middle of the night I had the truck towed to the Dodge Dealership in Laramie and the trailer got towed to the tow yard at 2am after I unloaded the wagon and drove him down to Fort Collins Co. Friday I was waiting to hear back from Dodge if the can fix my truck I received a call back around 3pm and they told me it will be around 13k to fix my truck the pcm blew up $7000 plus labour and some other issues and they won’t have the parts for the next 14 days.
So what should I do now? I went to the tow yard with the wagon and picked up the 4000lb tilt deck trailer and started driving home 1300mls since I had to avoid mountain passes, I made it back home Sunday afternoon around 6pm.
The wagon not even burned a drop of oil and the air conditioning was blowing cold and cruise control set that I could stretch my legs out.
My truck is still in WY and I had to hire a transportation company to get him hopefully soon.

Very sorry to hear of your misfortune. Congratulations on saving the day with the wagon.

Question: how many years/miles on your truck?
