In 1967, Dodge made an unusual decision, offering the convertible version of the Monaco 500 exclusively in Canada, with production numbers shrouded in mystery. Despite its rarity, one lucky enthusiast acquired a 1967 Dodge Monaco 500 convertible for free, albeit in need of significant restoration.
Originally owned by a Canadian lady, this Monaco 500 fell into disrepair after being driven to engine failure by her nephews. Subsequently, it languished in a salvage yard before being rescued by Dean Kallstrom, its current caretaker.
Despite its weathered appearance, this Monaco 500 retains its original charm and represents a unique piece of automotive history. With its original 318 V8 engine and automatic transmission, it offers a look into a bygone era of Canadian motoring.
While requiring restoration, this Monaco 500 is a testament to resilience, having survived decades of neglect. Its story embodies the spirit of automotive preservation, reminding us of the rich heritage woven into every vintage vehicle.
