1966 Dodge Monaco Sedan - Newly Rebuilt Engine and Transmission Up for auction is a 1966 Dodge Monaco sedan. It has a 383 V-8 with an A727 Torqueflite transmission. Each area of the car is described in detail below. Please look at the pictures: if you need pictures of something specific, please ask. Engine The engine was professionally rebuilt by Eddings Engine in San Fernando at a cost of more than $2000, and has less than 30 miles on it. The engine was bored .30 over with new pistons, rings, bearings, camshaft, timing set, and expansion/core plugs. The heads were also professionally rebuilt by Sylmar Head Exchange with new valves, valve guides, springs, and seals. Once I got the heads and engine back, I put in all new parts: new lifters, pushrods, rocker arm shaft, and rocker arms, oil pump, and oil pump drive. Everything but the heads was painted in Chrysler Turquoise. The intake manifold, timing chain cover, oil pan, and valve covers were cleaned and painted. All new Fel Pro gaskets and seals were used on everything. The alternator, water pump, and fan clutch are new. The starter is new. The power steering pump is original, but works well. All belts and hoses are new. The radiator was professionally cleaned and painted by The Radiator Works in Northridge. Most of the bolts used to attach various parts to the engine (water pump housing, intake manifold, etc.) are new reproduction. I installed a correct set of reproduction plug wire routing brackets. The motor mounts are new. Of course, all fluids are new. The distributor, cap, plugs, and plug wires are new. I converted the points to a Pertronix Ignitor II with a Flamethrower coil. The engine starts right up and runs well, with no leaks, smoke, odd noises, or any other problems. Fuel The 2-barrel Stromberg WWC carburetor was professionally rebuilt by Carbs Only in Burbank. The fuel pump is new. I replaced all rubber sections of the fuel line from the fuel pump back to the tank. The tank was professionally cleaned and painted by The Radiator Works in Burbank. I installed a new sending unit, lock ring, and gasket. There is a new gas cap and a new "donut" seal between the filler pipe and the tank. The tank straps are in good shape. There are no fuel leaks. Transmission/Drivetrain The transmission was professionally rebuilt by Victor Transmission in San Fernando at a cost of about $900. The transmission cooler lines are new. The universal joints, at both the transmission and differential end, are new. The rear differential has not been touched: it doesn't make any noises, but it does have a small drip from the flange seal after the car is driven. The transmission pan has a small leak from the pan gasket: the rebuilder used a cork gasket, and it should probably be replaced by a rubber gasket with sealer. It's annoying, but an easy fix. The transmission shifts very well and does not "bang" into gear. Suspension/Brakes All front brake parts are new. I converted the front drums to front discs using the kit from Scarebird. All new rotors, pads, calipers, hoses, and other parts were used. I had to convert the wheels to 15", so I bought new 15" wheels and Cooper 15" white-stripe tires. The tires have less than 30 miles on them. I also had to replace the original 14" hubcaps with some 15" hubcaps: they are from a '67 or '68 Polara, but are in fantastic shape and look good. The original hubcaps will come with the car. The rear brakes are all new except for the drums (which are hard to find). The drums were in good shape so they were just cleaned up. I also installed a new master cylinder and power booster, and installed new brake lines where necessary. The brakes stop very well. The front suspension is mostly new: all control arm bushings, shocks, sway bar bushings, strut bushings, ball joints, tie rods, rubber bumpers, and idler arm. The Pitman arm and steering box have not been touched, but the car steers well. It will need a front-end alignment. The rear springs, bushings, and hangers are new: I replaced the sagging original 5-leaf springs with new 7-leaf springs. The rear shocks are new. Interior/Electrical There are some bulbs in the taillight and turn signals that need to be replaced, but the brake light and turn signals work. All gauges work. The radio works after it warms up: this car has the two-speaker AM radio, with a knob you use to balance sound between the front and rear speaker. Some interior lights work, some do not: I think some of the bulbs are burned out. It probably needs a new headlight switch. The headlight switch turns the headlights on and off fine, but its dimmer function doesn't work. I lubed the speedometer cable, and it doesn't make any noise, but the speedometer needle sways a little at speed. The car was originally equipped with AC, but before I got the car, someone had taken most of the AC components. I have the compressor and some other parts, and they will come with the car. The blower motor doesn't work. All windows go up and down fine, and the vent windows work. All locks work fine. The doors open and close well, except for the driver's door, which has to be slammed to close properly. The front and rear seats will need to be reupholstered. The carpet is OK, but should be replaced. The door panels are OK, but should be refurbished. I took the rear door panels off to do some lubrication, but they will come with the car. The dash pad is cracked and faded and should be replaced. The steering wheel has some cracking and should be refurbished, but the horn works great. The headliner is perfect. The weatherstripping throughout the car needs to be replaced. Body The car was repainted at some point by a previous owner: it was a cheap job, but it seems to have prevented rust. The car has no rust through at all. The floor pan, trunk pan, and underbody are rust free. There is surface rust on the driver's-side rear door, and some small areas of surface rust on other parts of the body, but absolutely no rot. This car has been in California its whole life, as shown by the original Certicard in the engine compartment. There bumpers are in OK shape: they could be polished, but should probably be re-chromed. The chrome trim is in good shape: the only exception is the front part of the driver's-side trim, which is missing because of a small dent in the front fender. There are dents in the rear left quarter panel and one of the front fenders. There are also dents in the right-side rocker panel. Other than that, the body is good and straight. The glass is free of cracks and in good shape. I will include some trim and lenses for the rear taillights, which are a one-year design and very hard to find parts for. I've described the car as honestly as I can, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask. |

Queens man knows how to party, disrupts Mets game with van
Fri, Jun 24 2016A New Yorker and all-around true American hero took his weekend festivities a little too far and landed himself in front of a judge last week. According to NBC New York, Nelson Hidalgo drove his unassuming Sprinter to Citi Field on Saturday, June 18, around 10:45 p.m. While the Mets were getting thrashed by the Braves, Hidalgo pulled up to the intersection of 127th street and 35th avenue. Hiding within the van's cargo area were 80 speakers driven by powerful amps, around $20,000 worth of car audio. Hidalgo opened the Sprinter's rear doors, deployed his amazing speaker system, cracked a cold Coors Light, and unleashed hell. Noise complaints immediately started flooding in to the police, including one from the Mets' bullpen. Soon, Hidalgo amassed a sizable crowd who had come to rock out and marvel at the lunacy of the Sprinter's sound system. The NYPD showed up eventually and, undaunted by noise and the crowd, clapped the irons on poor Nelson. The Sprinter was impounded and Hildago was charged with second-degree criminal nuisance, general noise prohibition, disorderly conduct, and obstructing the driver's view. "I know it's illegal, but it's the weekend," he explained to the cops as they hauled him away. Once they had him in custody, the NYPD realized that Hidalgo was the person they had been looking for in connection with absurdly loud music coming from various city junkyards in the dead of night. Hidalgo, who has no prior record, spent the night in the slammer but was released the next morning with no bail on the promise that he return for his court date on August 1. Related Video:
Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
Watch this Dodge Viper get clawed to death
Tue, 07 Jan 2014There's a scene in the James Bond movie, Casino Royale, where Daniel Craig's Agent 007 is captured by villain Le Chiffre, played by Mads Mikkelsen. Le Chiffre tortures Bond in a scene that is rather difficult to watch (especially for blokes) and impossible to describe on these digital pages (Google at your own risk). This video is the automotive equivalent of the Casino Royale torture scene.
It shows a Dodge Viper - a late, first-generation GTS judging by the center-exit exhausts - getting assaulted by a giant piece of heavy equipment. The large claw shows no mercy on the V10-powered sports car, rending its muscular curves into pieces and then running it over, just for good measure. It's a painful video to watch (and hear!), made worse because we don't know what the Viper did to deserve such a fate. About a third of the way through the video, the cameraman indicates that the man with the claw is a new operator from Chrysler, and it appears there may be some fire damage, but beyond that, we don't have much to go on.
Scroll down for the video but be warned, it isn't for the faint of heart.
