Dodge Monaco "Force 440" - out of buisness

[Dominik]

Hi everybody,

i hope for all Moparfans out there, that this '77 (?) Dodge is no Mopar like my '70 Coronet?

Here are some pictures from my "Force 440". Because, they are old, had done their job and now they are out of buiseness. But someone throwed one out of the barn and back on the road. Thats the story.

Enjoy

Look inside:

A picture from the interieur:

This car has no engine, it is only for display. I built it only, to make some weathering on "decals". They were too old and broke when i put the first one out of the water, so i painted all signs and lettering with my airgun.

Thanks for watching, comments are always welcome

Great!

That looks really good. I am going to steal your idea of making the rear deck look like the steel underside if you don't kind. It looks realistic and very well done. The stance of the car is also very tough looking.

[Nick Notarangelo]

it looks good but you should've add a old donut box for good measure

Nice detail work , Dominik !

These 2-door "B-Body" Monaco and Fury (and their 4-door counterparts) actually were used by some states' highway patrol agencies in the mid-late 70's

( Montana and Wyoming , and perhaps others ) . They were powered by a 400 (~6.5 litre) engine which put out ~255-to-265 horsepower ; this was backed by a heavy duty automatic ; they were sans emissions controls , as they instead had a computerised engine management system ( "Electronic Lean Burn" ) .

Again , nice work !

[jcbigpaw]

Nice build. I see quite a few late model retired PD cruisers locally that look very similar to this. Lol

[ChrisR]

Certainly looks used and old! Great model.

[slusher]

very realistic.

[Jantrix]

Most impressive. I think you did a great job making the most out of a lousy situation.

[Dominik]

Thank you all for positive feedback! Thank you buddies!

Paul, you're right. I know, what i forgot...the donut box. Hm.

Thank you John for a little peace of history about these B-Bodys! The funny part of it: i took a Nebraska-Plate for it. Things happens...uncredible.
