Hello everyone, and thanks for letting me be here, I've been looking through the site a while and you guys have some serious knowledge and some beautiful cars! I do not own a mopar...yet.
Quick introduction from me, I'm English, but now reside in Utah USA (no I don't have multiple wives, one was bad enough!), and have been a car guy my whole life. As a kid I grew up drooling over American iron on the TV and movies, but being from a small country town in the south of England, that was just a dream (I did however end up with an 83 Camaro Z28E, a total rogue, and an 89 Pontiac 6000LE with 91k miles from new and the Wichita Kansas dealer badges still on the car - in England....on those small roads...with those crazy fuel prices....)
I had some Italian cars, Fiat X1/9, Alfa 33/75, Fiat Strada Abarth, then a Saab 900 Turbo, Porsche 924S, then the classic VW stuff, bugs, type 3, bus....then I moved to America.
I've been in the States for coming on for ten years. My first car here was a 1973 Pontiac Grand Am, basically a GTO with an ugly nose. Various Volkswagen restorations ensued, and while all this was going on, I've been looking for one of these...
Well, 20 years of searching for realistic options to own a Monaco/Fury of this body style have left me with....zero. As you experts know, these cars are almost extinct, at least that's what I am finding out. But it won't stop my search, I shall keep looking!
Anyways, thanks for taking the time to read this, I am excited to read about your cars and hopefully one of these Monaco's will come my way one day.
I am, next week, taking a quick ride up the freeway to look at a Dodge Diplomat, which according to the owner has the 360 V8 in it! Not sure of the year, possibly an 80...but it's going to be about $500 so it's worth a look right?
Thanks guys and gals!
