Welcome 71monacomoparmechanic to FCBO!

[71monacomoparmechanic]

Hello. My name is Jim. I'm a professional chrysler jeep dodge mechnic for 15 years. Life long c body owner. I bought my first c body 440 1970 town and country when i was 14 then was forced to sell it after a few years because my dad made me get it out of his small heating and cooling shop because at the time I didnt have the cash or knowlege to get it restored right. After that bought a 71 fury 3 with a 383 for a daily driver. While i still had that I liked the c body style so much Bought a 71 dodge monaco with 383 which i still own.

Location: Detroit

Welcome — I have a ‘71 too! Mine is here. Would you post pics of yours?

PS: @detmatt is local to you. I’ve never met him but, like many other board members, he’s been very generous with his advice/help to FCBOers and he knows a lot!

PPS: there is a small Midwest meet at Volo on June 22, and a huge Canadian meet at MoparFest in mid-August. Are you planning to attend either/both?

Love your photo!

Same location, different car. Here’s mine after Wyatt got her stance back to normal from the PO (photo courtesy of @71Polara383 )

Thank you. Rare vehicle. Good to see there is a couple others left. Mine needed proper attention so is not 100% original but still true.

Thanks. Yea those are 20's from new chargers. I still have the original wheels and hubcaps but there are really no performance 15 inch tires so these work
