Hi Scott. Late to the show.
Congrats on yer Canuckian Unicorn.
Your adventure is another chapter added this car's history!

383.

Scott:

It just occurred to me. . . Do you need a date code correct 383 engine for this car?

I'm thinking the one in the car is date correct. I don't think it has been out, but I haven't looked too deep.

From your pictures, I didn't see if there was an engine in the car currently. May have missed it.

I haven't posted any under hood pictures yet. I'll check the casting numbers in the next day or two.

I don’t know if 66 cars, or Canadian ones, had the order number (?) stamped on the rad support but you might want to patch that into the replacement if so.

The women don't stop until they get every panel or the axe gets stuck.

Aint that the truth. There use to be a guy down the road from me that had a project car sitting in his carport. He worked on that thing for probably two years and looked to be getting close to driving it. Then one morning I drove by and saw every piece of glass busted out and some beat to hell quarter panels.

I don't know where he tried to park his other "car", but I don't think his wife like it. The house was up for sale about 6 months later.

I just found out the accident is going 50/50 for liability. Fair enough for me.

Hay Scott, warms my heart to see that you got the monaco home.
I'm looking forward to the day I can pull my 66 SF 440 4 speed car up beside it for a photo op.
Also nice to see the power booster, saves me from having t whip
you up a brake pedal.
Also love the red/white/blue on your inner door panels. Canadian thing he

You gotta drive it to Carlisle with the axe holes! Now that's a conversation piece.

Good to hear, I hope I'm not digging for a ton of parts, I think I've got most the hard parts already, or located.

I'd love to park next to your 66 SF 440 4 speed! Hopefully the world will calm down and I can get past those pesky, but good looking, border agent gals!

That's the plan. I might install a windshield though.

Yes, rain will make the carpet stinky.

 

[LocuMob]

Yes, rain will make the carpet stinky.

That's coming out soon, I imagine it's stinky already.

it is very easy to get a black interior without changing all of it out - i thought my 69 monaco 500's interior was black when i 1st got it. it had been dyed black and it was done very well , my 1st clue was when i took a door panel off and found white vinyl .....
you might want to check yours

So how do you remove the dye?

 

[LocuMob]

It's in the garage.

Some more pictures of the love it received somewhere along the line.

Stepped on roof.

A torpedo heater and you can get working.
