    Is this a '67 Monaco/Polara 500 lower door trim piece?

    I've asked the guy that has this piece if there are numbers on the back, he says no. Did actual 500 trim have numbers stamped on the back?

    '67 C body production info aka "How many?"

    So 1967 US Polara (presumably including Monaco) sales is 55,588 ? An article written by "James C. Mays" in 2006 (posted on oldcarscanada.com in 2011) gives Canadian '67 Monaco and Polara sales as follows: =============== Dodge Polara and Polara 500 had racked up 18,912 units delivered...

    '66 C body production info aka "How many?"

    This may be of some use, or not. Below is page 28 of a 112 page document titled: Automotive Trade Statistics 1964 - 78 US factory sales, retail sales Imports, Exports, Apparent Consumption Suggested Retail Prices and US Bilateral trade balances with 8 major producing countries. Passenger...

    '66 C body production info aka "How many?"

    I'm looking at the chart posted at the top of this thread, and wondering why it mentions Polara but not Monaco. Additionally, I thought the popular belief was that while a US Monaco or Polara came with a V8 standard (as did many Canadian cars) that one could opt for a slant 6, in the US, if...

    '66 C body production info aka "How many?"

    Would Monaco be lumped in with Polara? Somewhat interesting is 1.8% of all Chryslers came with disk brakes, while Polara was 2.0 % (Barracuda at 5%), Imperials unknown? Dual exhaust is mostly very low except for Charger. Limited slip diff was more common than dual exhaust. The chart seems to...

    low vacuum 383

    Looking at 1967 Polara / Monaco service manual. BBD 2-BBL, 383 engine. Curb idle (with A/C on) is 550 regardless of transmission. For CAP, it's 650 for manual trans, 600 for auto. Fast idle is 700 (I think AC off). For CAP, manual trans is 1700 (!) and for auto is 1400 (!). Stromberg is...

    low vacuum 383

    What is a "Vacuum can" ? Do you mean diaphram? How are you not getting spark knock at 10 - 12 BTDC ? What octane gas are you running? Buy another vac guage (one that can read engine vac and fuel PSI in case you need it). Prices are like $20 on amazon. Connect it with supplied (ie - SHORT)...

    Slant six c body

    The Canadian sales brochure might have said that the /6 was standard on a '67 Monaco, but dealers were ordering them from the factory with 318's for floor sales. My dad bought ours off the show room floor, it was not an ordered car, it had the 318, it was not a Monaco 500, it was a 2-dr, the...

    Slant six c body

    It seems that when it came to the C-bodies, it was the 4-door cars that got the slant 6. What's the reasoning for that? And hey, with the hoods closed we can't see the engines!

    Slant six c body

    I had a '65 4-door Polara with a slant-6 (225) that I owned/ drove from about 1984 to 1995. Canadian car. Drove it on a couple of long trips, one was Toronto to Key West FL, another was to New Orleans. Power steering, power brakes, no A/C. Huge back seat...

    1967 Monaco Fender tag decode help

    Having a different VIN pattern is largely irrelevant (or - to be expected). There has to be something more substantial to make it a "US-spec" car - no?

    1967 Monaco Fender tag decode help

    I assume that both VIN tags on those cars say "Made in Canada"? Did they both (originally) have US-style Monaco tail lights? Besides the W8 stamp on the tag, what exactly made it a US-spec car? I'm not doubting that's what the W8 is meant to denote, I'm curious what technically would have...

    1967 Monaco Fender tag decode help

    While decoding Scoopy G '67 Newport, Ripinator said that g6 is outside remote operated driver's side mirror. That Newport tag also has d6 but was still unknown in that thread, as it is here for this white Monaco. https://www.forcbodiesonly.com/mopar-forum/threads/fender-tag-decoder.79863/...

    1967 Monaco Fender tag decode help

    Yes well let's continue to figure out what all the tag codes mean for '67 shall we? I get it that the car might have something that isin't coded on the plate. But is the converse true? Would they stamp something on the plate that has no connection to a feature on the car? And a side question...
