72 Satellite 4dr...All Done

[Space Cowboy]

I am taking the 77 Monaco and switching the nose with a 71 GTX. The hood is from a 64 Dodge and the grill along with the front bumper is all scratch made..

More coming soon.

There were some 75 and 76 Monaco's but no Satellites.

The Blues Mobile is a 74 Dodge Monaco ex Mount Prospect Ill. police car. It's got a cop motor,a 440 cu. in. plant with cop tires,cop shocks, cop suspension. It's a model before catalytic converters so it runs good on regular gas. LOL!!!

Landis also claimed that the chase scene beneath the elevated train tracks, which briefly showed the car's speedometer with a reading of 120 miles per hour (190 km/h) was actually filmed at that speed, a testament to the Monaco's police car heritage. Landis says he re-shot some of the scenes with pedestrians on the sidewalks, so viewers could see that the film had not been sped up to create the effect of speed.
