1966 Dodge Monaco – The Big Block Holy Grail
Some cars are rare. Some cars are special. And then there are cars like this—an untouched, unrepeatable, big-block American legend.
This is the 1966 Dodge Monaco. A pure, unrestored survivor, untouched by time, stored away from the elements, and carrying a history as grand as its presence.
383ci Big Block – The Heart of a True Muscle Machine
Under the hood sits the legendary 383 cubic inch big block, a Hemi-blooded brute with enough torque to part the seas. This wasn’t just another full-size Dodge—it was a luxurious powerhouse, built for effortless highway domination. Smooth, refined, yet packing the unmistakable punch of American muscle.
Copious amounts of cash have been spent to bring this Monaco back to prime mechanical health, ensuring it drives as good as it looks. A bruiser of note, ready to cruise, ready to conquer.
A Factory Virgin – Never Touched, Never Molested
Most Monacos have been through multiple resprays, restorations, or half-hearted attempts at preservation. Not this one.
• Light Blue over Black – Pure 1960s American cool
• Original power windows and power steering – Effortless cruising
• Expensive period-correct Coker white walls – Because the details matter
• Untouched panels, original trim – A time capsule of Mopar greatness
This is a Monaco that has never set wheel in a panel or trim shop. No filler, no repairs, no questionable ‘restoration’ attempts. This is pure, unmolested, factory-original metal.
A Provenance Like No Other
Some cars are owned. Others are preserved in history.
This Dodge Monaco belonged to one of South Africa’s wealthiest men, Mr. Mossie Tolman—hotelier extraordinaire, a man who knew luxury and kept only the finest. For decades, this car was locked away in the basement of the Musgrave Hotel in Pretoria, a hidden treasure waiting to be rediscovered.
And it shows.
• No rot. No rust. No bubbles. No excuses.
• Low-mile survivor – Just 48, 000 miles from new
• A genuine, untouched time-warp machine
This isn’t just one of the best Dodge Monacos available today—it’s one of the best survivors of the era, period. A Rare Opportunity – Selling Due to Political Climate
This Monaco is part of my private collection, which I am reluctantly selling due to South Africa’s political climate. Finding another like this is virtually impossible, making this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for true Mopar collectors.
