ChrisPflug Posted November 30, 2010 A car Chrysler should have put together "back in the day" when Ford ads were trying to convince us the Granada looked just like a Mercedes Benz and Oldsmobile was selling "international styled" Cutlass Salon. '78 was also the last year of the big block Chrysler, a year earlier Car and Driver even did a road test of the police package Mopar and found it more capable than contemporary "performance" cars Start with the "Blues Brothers formula"- cop tires, cop brakes, cop shocks- and the police pursuit 440. Maybe borrow the 15x8 slotted steel wheels from the F body Super Coupe. Make it spiffier than the cop car though- offer the buckets and console from the 2 door with a Tuff wheel, silver paint with some black accents- maybe a special blacked out grille For the build a simple mix of parts from the MPC Monaco police car and 2 door, improve the chassis details (in '75 Mopar B bodies got actual inner fenders) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marc @ MPC Motorsports Posted November 30, 2010 Sounds like a cool concept and one that would work in 1:1 for sure. Let's see some pics! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charlie8575 Posted November 30, 2010 Sounds really cool, let's see what we get with it! Make it a real sleeper and paint it Spinnaker Blue or some other muted pastel....looks tame unti all you see are taillights. Charlie Larkin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
george 53 Posted November 30, 2010 One of our members, Mike"raisin" Garret did that same thing with the 68 Plymouth Police Car kit. He removed the B pillar, put some bucket seats, big motor, cool wheels an a nice clean,smooth paint job, BADDA BOOM! a REALLY SWEET lookin little ride that would do ya proud in 1:1! I can't see why ya couldn't do it with the Monaco. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
