My latest purchase has arrived 1969 Dodge Monaco 500 Convertible DP27L9. For you Mopar diehards you know what that means. While all 69 Monaco 500 convertibles are rare. Only 347 were made. Of those 347 there were ONLY 2 made with the Optional 440 Magnum. So this is a 1of 2 car. Extremely rare. Also all 69 Monaco 500 Convertibles were built and sold in Canada. She has been sitting for a long time and is a bit of a mess right now. But its all there and complete. Special thanks to CB Towing service of Cornwall for bringing her to me safe and sound! The following pictures are of the car as it arrived untouched by me.

Nice! I've had my 69 since 1986, its also a "one of 440's" Pic of when it was first picked up in 86, and as it sits now :( In the stages of revitalizing her.

I'll have to do a little juggling in the shop to get her down...but shall do so. Unfortunately the broadcast sheet was lost when we moved, I'm sure I stored it somewhere safe...30yrs ago! Lol
Thank you. That is why I have taken photos of all the old sheets I've found -- but 30 years ago, I'd have taken an analog photo, and that would have been stored and lost too...

I'm sure I have a pic of it too! But that's like you say, likely lost in the archives. But here's the fender tag for the ole girl.

FWIW, you missed 300rag in your list of Monaco 500 owners. Dialed the wrong number...
To the best of my knowledge, @300rag owns one ‘69 Monaco 500 and is a hardtop, not a ragtop. That’s listed in my post. What am I missing?
 
There was a space in there, so it connected to a different member.
I wouldn't have mentioned it except that you did ask for feedback.

the 318 was the standard motor on the Monaco 500 ( slant 6 was standard on the Polara 500 !)
