The car has been SOLD. Tell me you love me by joining my: / videobob Wanna buy me a present? Here's my Amazon Wish List: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls...
Fully agree on stock hub caps. Aftermarket wheels on vintage land yachts looks jankety. Wonderful car VB. Very well presented. The hidden radio is top notch!
The days when car makers believed in body lines. I love the lead sleds and the soft bounce of the heavy shocks gives ya a nice soft bounce like a boat on water
It honestly looks nicer as a coupe. Hopefully no one turn it into the Bluesmoble, as there's hardly any stock ones left and the 1974 model year wasn't particularly made in high numbers.
When I think of an Monaco I think 77 Dodge Royal Monaco, St Regis vinyl top, Brougham with the Diplomat package coupe, triple red , 400 cu in mill under hood. My Uncle had exactly what I've described above. Great Malaise era car.
The only guy I would purchase a car from!!!!! Bob is such a meticulous owner makes sure every vehicle he owns is up on all things needed to keep the car healthy
This 2 door version is no doubt very rare. I am actually shocked your letting this one go. Odd ball car the big 70s Mopars are all pretty rare now to see in good shape. Good luck with the sale!
I sooo agree about keeping it original - with pragmatic mods for safety, modern driving, and a few creature comforts discreetly applied. You present admirably in friendly, honest and just-the-facts fashion.
As a kid who grew up in the 60s and 70s these were everywhere! So iconic of that time. Lots of memories of the dodge and Plymouths we just took for granted at the time.
Hear that? That's the sound of a very thirsty Holly carburetor! "Land Yacht"..."Party Barge"..."Pimpmobile"..."Gangsta ride"..."getaway car". They all fit. This is one *smooth* machine, Bob. Those stock rims and black wall tires absolutely complete the look. More than one major RU-vid influencer has declared that these big cars are the next *big thing* on the used car market, so you are ahead of the curve, as usual. It'll sell well.
She's a beaut Clark. I've got a 74 Fury II 2 door hardtop. (a Canadian car). It was my fathers. 40,000 mile survivor. Also the 400 2 bbl. Sunfire Yellow, white roof and black interior. Love that car.
Love that Monaco 2 door, I never noticed how much the body line and grill are similar to Buick LeSabre (which is a good thing ). Not very many of these left.
Love that car. I used to have a 72' Cadillac coupe de ville when I was 18. I miss that caddy. Very similar to your dodge. Blues Brother is my favorite movie even though it came out same year I was born. Love your videos Bob.
Even though I am a GM guy, I do like the look of this coupe and the little things you have done to it, like the larger than stock tires, upgrades under the hood and the hidden touch screen... Would love to find a similar Delta 88 coupe and do the same stuff. Sweet!
Thank you for this video, my uncle gave me a car like this in 2009 but with 4dollar gas then it had to go miss quality like this didn't know this level of quality wouldn't return....
That’s a nice car Bob like watches it’s time to let things go ive never seen the blues brothers films. I’m 64 but I do like cars .as always take care stay safe all xx from London ✌️
I have been lucky enough to see 2 74' 🇲🇨Monaco's 🇲🇨 and one was a Bluesmobile sitting on the side of the road right outside somebody's property way up in New England in some Town named Reheboth
That radio cover is a great idea and it sure is nice to have all the modern radio, GPS and phone stuff in a classic. I also see you have a real volume knob on your Kenwood stereo, guess you hate ones with out them ;)
The Monaco of these years still had just enough style differentiation from the Fury to give it a more attractive - and upscale - look. Unfortunately inside there just wasn't much difference anymore. Even the seat (Chrysler's "3 in 1" bench) could be spec'd in the Fury. The GM and even Ford offerings varied more. Rarely see the 2dr hardtops - and I'm always astonished when I run across its larger sister in the New Yorker 2dr with four roll down windows - most of those seemed to have been ordered with the St Regis opera window treatment.
If only I had the funds to buy it. I absolutely love those big old boats especially the old Mopars because of the comfort and smooth ride because of severe back problems which prevent me from being able to ride in most newer cars because the newer ones just don’t fit me right and put me in pain really fast
I’m in the same boat Todd. I’ve fractured my spine in three places plus a spinal fusion plus my right scapula is fused to my spine and removed 2 ribs cause they were shattered so bad they couldn’t put them back together. I have a 91 Jeep Grand Wagoneer that has been the most comfortable for me so far and it’s getting a new engine right now. These newer cars, I just can’t ride in them and if I do, I hurt so bad I want to go to the hospital when I’m done. Folks who don’t have real back issues just won’t ever understand
@@1982MCI I’m sorry to hear the shape you’re in. I had a 4 disc fusion, titanium plate and 10 screws done on my neck C4, 5, 6, and 7. C2 and 3 now needs it as well as 5 discs in my upper back between my shoulder blades which as you probably know is a high risk procedure and is done by surgical entry through the front to get to the spine. Then there are another 4 in my lower back and I was supposed to have surgery on those ones 2 years ago but it was postponed because of the pandemic. Then I ended up with an infection that won’t go away even after surgeries to remove the infection so my spinal surgery is still on hold. Plus there’s arthritis in mid to upper back. 15 out of 23 discs, so yeah I fully understand how riding in a newer car is literally a pain.
I like! Paying 2k for the radio could have been avoided! There are Many radios that have Bluetooth & android apps, I watch RU-vid, Fb, & etc on my $178 dollar ebay radio! I am very interested I. Where you got your amperage gauge & how it's connected? Is it just ran to any 12v source?
Grandpa had a 75 royal monaco years ago and he had to replace the fan switch several times from Napa but the highest speed would burn out like a set of points so he settled with next highest setting and stopped replacing it. Great car, 360 2 barrel holley, 4 door rotten green, transmission went, it ended up crushed. I was mad he gave it to a loser that just wanted a quick hundred bucks, found it at the local salvage several other cars on top of it.
I own a lot of old cars, some of them being Deloreans. A lot of rear engine cars like Ferrari, are known for fires. So it is just a habit to toss a fire extinguisher in the car in case of an emergency. Especially when you are working with fuel. We replaced the fuel tank, the carb and put in an electronics ignition system, so when we were testing it out we had that in there. That one has been in there for about 5 years I think. It is always a smart idea to have one handy. I also operate large trucks, buses, RV's, etc. and when you have a lot of electrical things, you want to be safe. You never know.
