I didn't think the Polara name made it that deep into the '70s. I remember them up through 1972, but don't know that I've ever seen one later than that.

Got this from the Inter-webs....
1974 Dodge Monaco: “It’s got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It’s got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It’s a model made before catalytic converters, so it’ll run good on regular gas. What do you say? Is it the new Bluesmobile or what?”

That brought back memories of the Andy Griffith Show!
Barney and Andy drove Fords, but I have to admit that every time I see a vintage "black and white", that's exactly where my mind goes, as well. Old folks. Gotta love us!

Hell YEAH, it is! Beautiful stance, and my favorite Chevy wheels (those look to be maybe 10" wide? So, widened OE wheels, or aftermarket?) Damn fine looking rides, the both of them!

Thanks heaps, my pride and joy (weekend cruiser). They are 8” wide wheels on some fat tires. Had to trim a bit of the inner guards to make them fit haha. Not many of these c10s down here in New Zealand. 350 with a 4 speed manualHell YEAH, it is! Beautiful stance, and my favorite Chevy wheels (those look to be maybe 10" wide?

From the angle of the first pic you posted, I thought for sure they looked "deeper" than what the factory 8" wide wheels looked. I stand corrected! Man, she's a beauty! What is the back bumper off of? And is it a "car" 4-spd?Thanks heaps, my pride and joy (weekend cruiser). They are 8” wide wheels on some fat tires.

Hey, @Kiwi TJ, are you seeing this Chev? That's pure sex, right there!
"If you flip the top of the air cleaner over on the 4 barrel on that Dodge Monaco with the 440 and listen to the second two barrels kick in .... it's pure heaven to your ears!"
Now there's an old-school trick from the past, @lowranger!

Haha yea they have the deeper chrome trim rings on them.
Factory rear bumper and I think the engine and tranny was out of a ‘78 c10 truck
(was original straight 6) sounds good and goes alright for an old girl
Just stuff your foot in it and listen to the music!!"If you flip the top of the air cleaner over on the 4 barrel on that Dodge Monaco with the 440 and listen to the second two barrels kick in .... it's pure heaven to your ears!"

That body was EXTREMELY prone to rust - its nice to see one that's didn't succumb. What year? '64, '65, or '66?
Well, duh! Good thing this wasn't an IQ test!
