EmTee Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 440 is unusual; I believe 360 LA engine was standard and probably found in at least two thirds of them. 400 and 440 were optional. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Wells Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 The pictures of this Dodge reminded me of the company car I drove on the West Coast for a year or so back in the '70's.. It was a more stripped down version, no doubt, with the smaller engine, but the same basic body. I don't generally have significant memory problems (yet), but what is interesting (to me, at least) is I had absolutely forgotten about that car over the years. It was a totally forgetable car...nothing at all unusual, quirky, undependable or remarkable in any way. It was what I'd call an appliance or a "transportation unit". No personality, no good or bad features, performance, or handling. Normal maintenance: No break-downs or replacement parts needed - just gas up and go. Eight hours behind the wheel , no problem. No aches or pains. An extremely boring car. Anyone looking to purchase the OP Monaco can probably look forward to about the same experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you guys are saying, but… Here’s a sampling of what I found with a quick CL search for that asking price. Maybe the Monaco isn’t so bad?: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumBob Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 All these cars are what I call unremarkable, forgettable transportation. They are perfect for one of my daughters who is hard on cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
