Hmmm interesting i never checked that code... i didn't even think it could be a 500 it had all the standard monaco trim and even the front fender had no holes for the 500 trim panel??? Probably a misstype on the tag or a very early dealer modification? Hope not the 500 would make it more special lol
I have to modify it then ha ha
"500" means it came with factory bucket seats. Not sure if the console is included in that or not, but the bucket seats are. Only on 2dr hardtop and convertible Dodges.

Great work, stunning automobile! :thumbsup:
 
Wow, just wow! DH23L9D121878 (it's hard to read the second letter, but I don't think it is DM23L9D121878 as M is for a Polara 500) is very lucky.

@69CoronetRT may be able to chime in on the A75 code
See this post by @commando1 in a discussion with @ceebuddy and @Bill Watson here:


The relevant bit is this:

1969 U.S.
- Polara
- Polara 500 (two-doors only)
- Monaco

Monaco 500 was an option package (A75) on the Monaco series (there was a "500" emblem on Monaco two-doors with optional bucket seats)

Monaco Brougham was an option package (A76) on the Monaco series (there was a "Brougham" option on four-doors Monacos consisting of vinyl top and 50/50 split bench seat)

1969 Canada
- Polara
- Polara 500
- Monaco
- Monaco 500 (two-doors)
- Monaco Brougham (four-doors)

Monaco 500 (DP) and Monaco Brougham (DS) models were unique to Canada.

I think on the Polara 500 you got either the console or the buddy seat, I know the console was a zero cost option. I wouldn’t doubt the Monaco 500 was the same.

Kudos on a stunning restoration. Much respect! That car must be a real head turner in Switerland, it would be here as well! GREAT JOB!
 
But the final Result is great it Looks fantastic, some adjustment and polishing needs to be done at the bodyshop but Overall very nice.
It is restored to max. original condition only the color (original white) and the wheels arent stock.

Regards From switzerland

Very nice, excellent job!!

Hope to see your imperial 1970 in the same state in the near future. I still have same parts ( seat, dash part, steering wheel door panel) for you .

Do the trims fit, I have sent?
