1966 Dodge Monaco

LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1966 Dodge Monaco Convertible

  The Monaco was launched by Dodge in 1965 to go head-to-head against personal luxury coupes like the Pontiac Grand Prix. In 1966, Dodge expanded the Monaco line to include not only the two-door hardtop but, a two-door convertible, four-door sedan, four-door hardtop, a six- and nine-passenger wagon. The gamble paid off, because Dodge sold three times as many Monacos in 1966, all with a price $250 to $500 higher than that of their Polara counterparts. The big bonus in searching out a Monaco over a Polara is the engine. Base Polara’s were the low-priced "Polara 318" trim, but Monaco’s were all offered with 383-cu.in. V-8s, with a Carter BBD-4125S two-barrel carburetor in base form, delivering 270hp. Either by selecting the option, or by buying the Monaco 500, buyers got the Carter AFB 3855S four-barrel with 325hp.

  This particular 1966 Dodge Monaco is a very rare convertible model presented in its factory colors of Spice Gold Metallic complemented by a Gold interior. It is powered by the 383ci/325hp engine backed by a 727 TorqueFlite Automatic transmission which pushes this large convertible nicely down the road. It is a very highly optioned car with bucket seats, console, dual exhaust, power steering, power brakes, push-button radio, Rallye 500 wheels and fender skirts.  It was restored over a 2-year period and features a nicely detailed engine compartment and beautiful paint.

  This 1966 Dodge Monaco would be the perfect summer cruiser to enjoy on open back roads or driving to the beach!
