My 68 Monaco 500

So was that 67 only?

 

[Vertigo]

Not Sure....

Not specifically looking for Canadian convert, but this coupe has the same location; no cid emblem at all I guess if ordered with standard powertrain.

 

[polara71]

thats Freds car, isnt it?

Found it with google search, no wonder it looked so familiar.

I checked my fenders, I have a series of 12 holes behind the front wheel well, I wonder if it is for the Emblem "MONACO" as in this pic?

 

[polara71]

Yes, thats a 68 Monaco but not a 500.....

"12 holes"
What do you have when you had 6 letters with 2 pins each.
"Correct"
Ummm... 50 Shades of Green for $600, Alex.

Based on what I'm reading I'm wondering if this car had some parts changed out or it may not be a 500 at all. The correct location for the 383 & 440 displacement call outs is on the fender between the wheel and bumper. That's a beautiful car in any case.

That is a great looking car, doesn't look as bright as QQ1 should though.

 

[polara71]

So Fred, is that on 67's and 68's?

 

[polara71]

and where his numbers are is correct?

 

[Vertigo]

Car has been repainted, I will post a picture of original colour tomorrow.

Here's a 68 Monaco with correct trim and callouts.


Here is a Monaco 500 which I believe is correct...

 

[Vertigo]

Is there any way to tell from VIN number or fender tag?

 

[polara71]

So the Monaco got the block MONACO letters and the base trim the 500 got the rocker moldings front to rear...? The 383 4barrel and the 440 cars got the engine call outs towards the front of the fender?

The 67's got the 500 emblems near the headlights ?
