I could have sworn I'd tried here, but went through my old posts and couldn't find one, so here goes. I'm looking for a few interior pieces for my Monaco. The main one is the '74 specific 14o mph speedometer, notice the small zero. Also interested in the door panels that were specific to police...

Is it just me, or does something look a bit off about that back bumper filler panel area?

Unfortunately I haven't seen or heard of those before. The only reason I'm well versed on the door panels is because of my research on the Bluesmobile...

The police and taxi Monaco's had slightly different patterns on the upper door panels. Here is a police/taxi pattern: Here are some other "standard" door panels: As you can see, the police/taxi panels have a distinctive pointed section in the front whereas the next closest one only has...

So I know I'm about a month late to this conversation, but it seems promising. I know derby guys love the 74-77 formal C-Bodies. Any chance you could talk to your contact there and find out if he has a 14o 1974 certified speedo for a Monaco or Fury, or the police/taxi specific upper door panels?

Based on the front vent windows and the fact that it's got a 400 motor, I'd guess that it's most likely not a police package car. Not impossible, but not likely. That being said, if you can post a picture of the upper door panels, and they are the taxi or police style, I'd be interested in...

Well if you have a chance to get some measurements I believe it's 59.2" from flange to flange and a 47.3" leaf spring perch width. That would be very helpful!

Will a rear end from a 75 Imperial be a direct fit for a 74 Monaco?

What's the purpose of re-sizing the rods?

Is there any go to brand for the rear main seal? I was looking at the Mr. Gasket 1968, the Fel-Pro 2947, and the Mopar Performance P4271961. Those were the ones that led up on my Summit search anyway...

Well, it's been a while, and the last topic where we discussed this build was in a Big Block into Small Block conversation, so I figured I'd start fresh. I finally got a 440 block that wasn't cracked and had it it bored .030 over and cleaned with new cam bearings installed. My plan is to reuse...

Starting bid of $5,000, probably a sky high reserve, but she looks nice! Big block with cnsole shifter. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dodge-Other-500-1967-dodge-polara-500-matching-numbers-broadcast-sheet-lqqk-/151180462516?forcerrptr=true&hash=item23330ec9b4&item=151180462516&pt=US_Cars_Trucks

The problem with ebay is that you can't rely on that logic becuase in the last minute of the auction the price will jump 1,500 dollars alone!

Not a New Yorker, but here's a 77 Royal monaco with one for sale: http://www.whitehousemotors.com/Vehicle/48732/1977-Dodge-Royal-Monoco-Brogham.aspx
