74 in Lemons 24

[Spyphish]

Well we would look like the Flintstones instead of the Justeauxs because the floor cam out with the mat. SO we have scrapped the Fury and scored another $500 Monaco which will get all the cop drivetrain someday. Lil' too purrty' be we can dumb her down. We will run the first race with it's 400 4BBL Leanburn unit. Should be here this week and scheduled for Madman Chassis mid June. Steveaux

You guys down there have way to much fun I like it. Lol

The good news is infamous SST racer Boyd Moss scored a FREE RV with a low miles 1978 440 (the last year). The bad news is I had to work alone with the dually to get that puppy out. It started and ran no smoke with 150 compression. Gonna' be our spare bullet. Lemoneaux

"Gonna' be our spare bullet." Well, spare pellet, maybe. ;-)
Sounds like fun. "Ain't no car like a Mopar!"

I hear you on the pellet, but we know somebody that can hop it up. The one owner Hooptie Monaco is here, now named project "ORANGE WHIP" . Worlds dirtiest motor, never had a wrench on it, 81000 miles, but the thing actually runs darn good. I think that is the starter in the photo?? Looks like a mixture of oil, mouse poop, mouse hair, cat hair, dog hair, one human hair and just the right amount of Nebraska dirt. Everything is original and works except the "cigarette lighter". Go figure.... Some nice stuff to part out to my fellow Blues Brothers. Jakeaux


PS anyone needing a stock 400 Lean Burn, I got it.....Sucker pulls good, 3.55 rear

It WAS untouched but now stripped and ready for cage. We took the lean burn off as it missed at constant speed. Broadcast sheet was in the door. After two attempts to clean motor, still pretty bad. May just pull it as a spare and put one of the pellets in.

Wow, how did you find that for cheap? I would have thought that ANY '74 4-door Monaco, or even anything that could pass for a '74 4-door Monaco, would be pretty expensive...especially if the cigarette lighter doesn't work.

Next time I decide to drive back to Louisiana from Halifax Ca., slap me!!! Still not home yet. Will be removing the Firm Feel antiroll and trick steering from the Great Race Fury over to the Lemons Orange Whip. Anyone need a nice driver Bluesmobile, check the for sale thread.
