The '73 Monaco. It's the big Dodge.

Ah, truth in advertising. Also something something Lee Trevino golf.

Were I to get a 2-door Dodge from the 70's, it would probably be an Aspen with the Super Coupe package. It turned a turd of a car into something pretty damn cool:

What a total beast. Who said 70's cars where all ugly?

A fueselage Mopar is a definite bucket list car for me. My grandfather was bought a new ‘70 Chrysler 300 Hurst edition back in the day. That one’s out of reach for me, but lots of them are still reasonable.

I like it. Imagination.

The Polara *kind of* was, and was also called The Big Dodge. This package on the Monaco is pretty nice, though. Some styling carryovers from the later 60s Imperials.

Best worst use of a swanky Formula 1 location name on a totally unbefitting automobile.

Their idea may have been that someone who actually lights cigars with dollar bills would drive one in Monaco while gambling, as a way to oppress the locals with American swag. Well, maybe not that guy. Maybe his brother in law.

Cars like the Super Coupe are why being a car enthusiast is sometimes difficult.

Imagine working for Dodge back in the day.

“Right, we need to make the car more desirable for the niche crowd. Give it a strange color, stripe the mofo and finally sprinkle some plastic bits over it to make it vaguely racecar looking. Call it “something, something Super” and make profit. Milk those enthusiasts!”

I know that I should be offended by this logic, but the car is so damn desirable...

That’s exactly how the pony car was first created, and that’s what the Super Coupe is. A pony car. The Mustang wasn’t designed as a performance car. It was originally intended as a stylish, cheap, conomical coupe powered by a modest straight-six or an optional V-8. It didn’t become “cool” until someone at Ford decided to stuff the largest engine they could fit into it.
