The 77s weren't speed demons like the previous ones but has a very nice styled body, very comfortable, handled decently, and had enough power for the interstates. Love these things. This is a great car here. Not many left. Sure wish they made these still - exactly the same - no retro crap.
I owned one for 4 years back in the lates 80's driving all over the US & Canada. It ran like a dream, only items changed were the battery and oil. Man wish i'd kept it.
Yes, this was a great car. Sad thing was, I couldn't find a buyer in the US for it. But a guy in Norway sure liked it and stepped up price-wise. Over the years I've found that there are a lot of Mopar fans in the Scandinavian countries.
My dad had one. I got to drive it. It was a Mexican built one (lived in Mexico City at the time), had the 360 engine with no smog devices. It ran great and was quick for its size.
Had a ‘76 Royal Monaco, 2 door hardtop, 360 engine, powder blue, dark blue full vinyl top, white leather-like vinyl seats. It was not the Brouham as you had here. The car could do 110 mph without hesitation and cruise at 80 85 mph all day if I let it. Actually figured out the gas mileage on a drove to Ottawa and cruised at that speed all the way,. It worked out to about 25 mpg however that was to an imperial gallon, not the smaller U.S gallon. The tiny little white box on the firewall, it is a ballistic resistor. Something I think any Chrysler owner from the period would probably be familiar with as it could fail anytime without any warning. I always had a spare one in the glove compartment. Cheap insurance for a buck ninety nine! Cheers🍻🇨🇦🇺🇸👍
my dad owned a 1977 dodge royal monaco sedan back in the day...nice riding(suspension was a little soft tho since it was a luxury type vehicle..)...360 v8 with thermo quad carb 4bbl...
That's why Chrysler had to be bailed out. They had no small cars of their own, just rebadged Mitsubishi's, until they brought the Horizon over from their French division (which they promptly sold due to their financial situation in the late 70's.)
@@davidallen5776 The Valiant/Dart was ancient and had been cancelled by the time Chrysler got in really deep doo-doo. The Aspen/Volare were mid-sized and terrible to boot, with their poor quality contributing to Chrysler's woes.

Hello. I own a 1977 dodge royal monaco (it's a base model. But it starts every day, even when it's negative degrees) and is my daily driver which I absolutely love as much I love my grandson. I am running into the issue of not being able to find parts. For example, the driver side door handle broke and I can't find a replacement part around town or on eBay. Also, the motor which flips the headlights is no longer working and can not find a part. Do you have any suggestions or can you steer me in the right direction. Thank you for your time.
Hi, you may want to post that question to the forum members at - www.forcbodiesonly.com/mopar-forum/widget-pages/home/ - They're a very knowledgeable group and hopefully can help you out with finding that!
very rare options on this beauty, have had a chance to be around many of these, have never seen this top option nor the facia on the taillights, sport option wheel, e,t,c,
@@Cascadiaclassic Apparently that car was well maintained. I've driven Chrysler cars for years. If you take good care of your Chrysler, it will take good care of you.
fuel economy in the double digits....low double digits to be sure, but you could get 12 city, 17 highway if you tried to drive conservatively. Drive 70 mph, down to 15 mpg. 55 mph, 17 mpg.
la verdad , esque no le pide nada a los carros de lujo del 2020 y venideros ,todos son la copia de estos precursores del lujo , y hablo de todas las marcas ,todas. incluyendo el chafa mercedes que es pura porqueria , se maneja como una carcacha .y chafa ,no aguanta el pie pesado.
Así es los carros modernos son genéricos de plástico muy delicados y por nada te dejan a pies en cambio los autos antiguos después que les tengas sus mantenimientos y sus cuidados te dan muchisimo mejor servicio y por poco dinero.
I’m pretty sure if you tboned a Kia with this it would tear the Kia open like a sardine can. As long as you’re wearing a seatbelt in this tank you’d fare pretty well in an accident. Road deaths were more common back then because nobody wore seatbelts and drunk driving was fairly commonplace and there weren’t many consequences unless someone was killed or severely injured. If you were stopped back then the cops would usually just drive you home.

I'm in Totally agreement with you on that. I'm 68 years old and retired and would love doing a Sunday drive just cruising in it !😃
These C-body’s rode so nice you could never tell if something was wrong with car.

Heaviest doors when parked facing uphill! Had a 76! Great highway cruiser!

Beautiful automobile

Love and miss that bouncy suspension, 2 finger steering and beautiful interior color(s)...
What a gorgeous car! The color is Tapestry Red.
Este si es un clásico, esta precioso, en verdad felicito al dueño. Esta completísimo.
Gorgeous car...must ride like a dream! :)
Yes indeed!
Holy blind spots! They just didn't care in those days! Love it!
Spectacular Executive Express!
I’ll take it 😊
Loving that Diplomat package!! Havent seen one of these in LITERALLY 1992 in Norfolk VA.
I bet! They seem to be super rare.

A luxury two door version of the "bluesmobile"😊❤👍

This was the year the Dodge and Buick looked so much alike it was hard to tell at a glance.
Even in that weird second half of the Seventies, girth was still king!

Love those WIDE bench seats. To this day I don't care for bucket seats.
Agreed!
What a sweetheart!
WOW what a boat! Where do you stow the anchor?
Such a beuty!! If i had the cash to burn i would buy this in a heartbeat for a nice summer pleasure cruiser!

Norway, too! That's where the car is now.

It's a rare bird alright! Thanks for watching.
Es el único de los autos mopar que no conduje y uno de los que más me gustan se ve muy confortable y lujoso parece sacado de agencia
Is this car still for sale?
Sorry, sold long ago.
Thx. That was a beautiful car
If you don’t mind me asking. How much did it sell for?
BEAUTIFUL CAR. I WONDER HOW IT IS CALLED ROYAL MONACO WHILE A SPORTY STEERING WHEEL IS MOUNTED ON IT !!!
Optional wheel. I think they had 3 different styles. 2 for certain . I have a brochure
this car has some very rare options
This was my first car!
Three-speed Torqueflite automatic and a big V8...now, that's vintage full-size Mopar! BTW, the seat belt light and buzzer are missing!
easy to un plug
Think I missed it:: Engine 360?? 318?? 400?? Help please
The distributor is up fr9nt so it's a 400 or 440.
That's my Granddaddy ALL over he had a 75 Grand Fury Brougham Brand new 400 V8 4dr
Is this for sale?
Sorry, it's been sold.
Would have been glad to get one brand new. Take it on a long haul.
Beautiful car. But I watched the full 5 min 48 hoping for a full view of the glorious hidden headlights.
The good ole lean burn
Is for sale ?
No, sold last year
Looks like the same steering wheel except for the center Medallion that I had in my 77 Cordoba
Nice 😀
Thanks! 😋
@@Cascadiaclassic 😀
That motor purrs like a kitten.
Yep, it's a good one!
@@Cascadiaclassic Apparently that car was well maintained. I've driven Chrysler cars for years. If you take good care of your Chrysler, it will take good care of you.
I need to change the engine gasket, I want the torque for the bolts before opening. It's dodge royal monaco 1977
Que tamanho carro é esse não sabia que dodge tinha carro a sim além dodge chalenger
Nice car. I remember theses when they were new. I don’t think this is a Brougham. Broughams has plusher seats. Maybe Canadian models were different.
mine had the road wheels
That's a long car!
Gorgeous car but get ride of the lean burn please!
Gorgeous car, it will probably end up overseas like all our beautiful big American boats ... sad
With steering a baby could turn with their pinky, and fuel economy in the single digits!
fuel economy in the double digits....low double digits to be sure, but you could get 12 city, 17 highway if you tried to drive conservatively. Drive 70 mph, down to 15 mpg. 55 mph, 17 mpg.
Not true. My grandparents Grand Fury averaged 22 mpg on a 2 month trip to Florida and back.
