1973 Dodge Monoco Brougham - 26,000 Actual Miles - Excellent Condition

1973 Dodge Monaco Brougham RARE - 4 Door Pillarless Hardtop Original - 26. 00 Actual Miles The 1973 Dodge Monaco Brougham was introduced in 1965 as Dodge’s mid size entrant but soon found itself branded as a full size luxury liner competing with the Dodge Polara. Plymouth Sport Fury and other Chrysler models. By 1968 the Polara was competing with the Monaco for the luxury market and the police market. however Monaco won the battle and was the future for Dodge luxury cars. This 1973 represents the very last year for the big fuselage C body Monacos. With the striking black and white styling. it is easy to see this car looks exactly like the California Highway Patrol Dodge Polaras’ used in that time period as well. This 1973 Monaco Brougham has had one owner before me since new some 40 years ago before I purchased it. I purchased it in 2013. While I had intended to personalize this car I came to realize it was really too original and too special to do what I wanted and I ended up buying a different project car so this has just sat in my garage for 2 years. The Monaco still has its 1977 Emissions Sticker and a 1984 New Mexico State Inspection Sticker on it. It been has an oil lube sticker on the door reading 21. 00 miles in 1984. This Monaco has only been driven 5. 00 miles in the last 30 years. I had planned to dye the top black and have a triple black car and do some personalization to it. Then when the car showed up I realized the car was virtually a brand new car. The interior is flawless with no wear anywhere. I had hoped to build a custom personalized car from it but the car is way too nice and pristine to do that to. I did not have the heart to take such a beautiful pristine car and start changing it. Original super pristine classic cars are way too hard to come by. You will likely be as shocked as I was when I saw it the first time. It’s like it was in a time capsule since 1973. The interior looks as if it was installed at the factory yesterday.

The key buzzers. seat belt buzzers and all the dash lights work just as originally intended.

The interior looks great with no wear or tear to the seats. headliner. door panels and carpet. it all looks virtually brand new. The dash has two super small cracks between a couple of speaker holes but otherwise the dash is perfect. I took pics of the cracks for you. They cannot be seen from inside the car. you have to look through the windshield to see them. The engine compartment looks like new with all the original factory markings. placards and stickers under the hood. This Dodge Monaco still retains the original spare tire having never been on the ground and still has the molding bumps on the tread. The power windows seem a bit slow and might need something.

I have attached more pictures and hope those are helpful. When I pulled the car out of the garage to sell it I replaced the battery. the upper radiator hose and the thermostat. The car starts right up and runs smooth and quiet. This car only has 26. 00 actual miles so there was probably not much that has worn out and needing replacement. Although it is a 42 year old car so I am certain things will need repair and maintenance from time to time. The engine has had no repairs that I am aware of and it certainly looks all original and runs and sounds fine. The spark plug wires are the original plug wires to my knowledge. at least they look original to me. The exhaust is original and has no leaks and there is no rust that I can see. The suspension is original to the car. The car does have a rear window defogger and a speaker in the rear package shelf. I tried to get a picture for you. Even the glove box light still works and the car was a non-smoker car. I took pics of the ash tray and cigar lighter for you. The vinyl top is in perfect condition however on the right rear chrome trim you can see the edge of the vinyl top material in a couple of adjacent spots. The top is secure and trim is secure but maybe the top material shrank over time and pulled out from under the trim just a fraction. I cant imagine they would have cut it short a fraction of an inch but maybe. The interior. seats and carpet is virtually like brand new. The seat material and carpet is flawless. If the odometer did not say 26. 00 miles I would argue that the interior has never been sat in ever. The door panels and dash and headliner are just as pristine. If you would like an inspection company to come look at the car and verify the condition or authenticity please feel free to do so before bidding. I will make the car available 7 days a week.
