1976 royal monaco diplomat edition 440

[1978 NYB]

The other one was a 1977. Of course it was on a CL ad that no one posted a picture so its lost forever. I did find one interior picture....

Give me some time, I'll look up the numbers on this car. Absolutely one of my favourites. IIRC, there was a special dealer piece on this car. Several years ago there was a loaded white sunroof Diplomat for sale for about $6k.

Ordered new upper ball joints, idler arm, wiper bushings, and picked up a nice set of tires today. They were on a friends Cordoba on the polycast wheels.

We had one FS here in the past if I remember correctly. It was a triple black coupe. It was about two years ago and East of the Mississippi.

what is "we had one FS"

What does the Diplomat edition mean?

It was available on Coupes only, it got you the wide stainless strip and the small rectangle opera window landau top...think St Regis, but for the RMB. 75& 76 only as I recall.

Those rims look great. I might start hunting...

 

[jasperjacko]

Different look to go with the loud exhaust.

 

[1978 NYB]

Any interior pictures???

 

[jasperjacko]

Only one I have right now

 

[jasperjacko]

I have searched high and low and can't find much info on this car. I have never seen one before. I would like to know how many were made with the 440. It has a 2.71 sure-grip also.

 

[1978 NYB]

Did you find a build sheet for it?

 

[1978 NYB]

Looks like a solid car.

Love the new wheels. Congrats on your new car... it’s beautiful.
