For Sale 1968 Dodge Monaco 500 Convertible

[Fratzog]

Not mine.
Here's another one. This one is advertised as needing TLC whatever that means. It looks to be a runner. Nothing wrong with having a 318 under the hood either. Buyer wants 9500.

I'm envious of the console. OH, and the right front wheel opening molding.

318 V8 with automatic......has an "original" Dana 60 rear in it. Is that even possible?

He never specified "60". Were any of the smaller Danas available?

 

[bluefury361]

The seller doesn't sound as though he's to familial with Mopars. Likely a flipper.

Wasn't there a Dana 53?

That’s a pretty Drop Top.. Love that year Polara / Monaco.

Why would this car have anything but an 8.75” in it with a 318/auto in ‘68???

That was exactly my point also. I don't buy a "Dana" anything in that car unless it was changed out at some point in time.

65-68 C-bodies with 4 speed.
You find Dana 53's on a zillion older Jeeps.

 

[Mr C]

Likely not a Dana but a mis-identified 8.75.

Yes but not in that car

Came in 67-68 440, 4 speeds

4 speed cars, that's the application.

I seen this car months ago driving home from work when it was parked at a auto shop getting some work done to it. A chick owns it and it was part of a divorce settlement.

Appraised at $15500.00......lol....it looked like a $4500 car to me. The lower body trim has corrosion, lots of body filler and the floors look like they have patches on top of the original floor which has rust and holes.

If you tar undercoated the crap out of it, it would be an okay driver.

440, 4 speeds. 383 4 speeds came with an 8.75
