Mopar of the day

[cm23uoc]

The Monica Sport sedan out of French production. Named after the wife of the Company founder.
Last effort to produce a high class high Performance sedan in France after Facel Vega closed.
Production car had the 340 Mopar powertrain, tweaked a bit I think to an advertised 285 hp, available with Torqueflite or 5 Speed ZF transmission.
Regular production from 1973-74, the first oil crisis brought the Project to a halt after about 35 cars.

Cool, you have to hand it to the Europeans for sports car dash design. If Ma would have offered a dash with simplistic design in the a bodies at the end just think how many more they would have sold, not that she didn't sell a lot of them but that god awful instrument cluster in the later ones is just the cheapest looking piece of crap.
