    Recommend a mechanic in Oklahoma City?

    Hi all, I disappeared for a while because I sold my '67 Monaco... but I replaced it with a beautiful '67 Imperial. The problem is that the Imperial has been stuck in storage halfway across the country in Oklahoma City (long story....). But next week we'll be reunited when I go to OKC for a...

    dumb fuse question

    Hi all, Been a while since I posted... just been enjoying the car! ('67 Monaco.) But now I have a problem (which will show you how new I am to classic cars): I need to replace the 20a fuse for the brake lights. I assume it should use a "fast blow" fuse instead of a "slow" one. But I...

    Thinking about bringing this one into the family

    Hi all, I've been trying to get my brother interested in c-bodies for a while now, and I think the right one may have come along. Would love to know if anyone has thoughts on this car: do the pics raise any red flags? Maybe you know this specific car...

    pin size?

    Hi all, Anyone know the correct size for the cotter pin that holds the accelerator pump rod in place? (1967 Monaco, 383 2-barrel; I'm pretty sure it's a Carter BBD.) Mine keeps falling off, so I assume the pin is stretched or bent... which is why I'm not bothering to measure the one I have...

    Registry for c-body Monacos

    Inspired by Red's new registry for the Monaco 500, I built one for all C-body Monacos. If you have one, please join! Since this registry is brand new, I'd appreciate feedback on the kind of info to collect and the options which should be available for multiple-choice questions (did I list all...

    lead additive for '67 383 2bbl?

    Hi all, Just wondering if I should be using lead additive in my new '67 Monaco. As stated above, it has the 383 2-bbl engine, and it now has about 129,000 miles. The owner's manual says that the compression is 9.2 and requires regular fuel (in 1967, of course). I've put in a few tanks of gas...

    A c-body in hollywood

    Thought you all might enjoy hearing about a little adventure I had last week with my ’67 Monaco… A month or two ago, my wife saw a casting call in the Boston Globe for classic cars to be used in a movie. I replied, and didn’t hear back until a couple weeks ago. Turns out they wanted my car...

    An interesting Monaco

    '67 Monaco hard top on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1967-Dodge-Monaco-Hardtop-Rust-Free-Bucket-Seats-Disk-Brakes-440-/321091918253?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item4ac291d9ad#ht_500wt_743 It's in rough shape, but it's surprisingly plush for a Monaco sedan: a/c, power windows, power driver's...

    Garage in the Boston area?

    Work is getting busy, so I'll have less time than I expected to mess around with my new '67 Monaco. When I do have time, I'd like to spend it driving instead of wrenching. Can anyone suggest a mechanic in the Boston area who could do some basic work? No big repairs, but soon it will be time...

    where to post PDF of owner's manual?

    I just scanned in my owner's manual (1967 Monaco/Polara). I tried attaching it to a message so I could put it up on the forum, but I got a "file size too large" error message. It's 35 MB. Is it possible to post it somehow? -David

    Mystery knob

    Anyone want to guess what this thing is? The knob is under the dash, and it's attached to a cable in a translucent plastic sheath (arrows). And no, I haven't tried turning it. After all, it might activate the ejector seat. (Though I bet that option wasn't available with the bench seat. Must...

    Meet Ginger!

    After WAY too long, Ginger has finally come home. 128k miles, nice mechanical condition, though there might be a repaint in her future. Let's see... she's bone-stock, and it seems like everything works except for the fuel gauge. And sometimes there's a wiggle in the steering wheel at about 65...

    515-mile Imperial for only $6,300???

    So, I'm new here and maybe I have a skewed idea of C-body values, but it looks to me like someone got a 1968 Imperial with 515 (five hundred fifteen) miles for just $6,300. That's nuts, right? I would've guessed it would sell for around twice that amount...

    adding safety items

    Hello all, I'm proud to have just become the owner of a 1967 Dodge Monaco. It'a 4-door hard top with the 383 2bbl engine. I'd like it to be a nearly-daily-driver, so I want to add some basic safety equipment: shoulder belts and (if possible) head rests. Does anyone have experience...
