That is a replica of the 1974 Las Vegas PD.
It was the only year that LV used that color scheme.

That is a replica of the 1974 Las Vegas PD. Ahhh, interesting. Thanks for that, TK. Based on that info I was able to find a few more pics of it. Actually the 1st pic looks to be a vintage pic, so it's highly unlikely it's the same car.  These are the replica with the graphics in a higher position ...    And here's a story regarding the possible fate of this Monaco. This is from 6 years and 2 months ago ... They sold it for one hundred dollars? To a monster truck show?? Hard to fathom. copcardotcom.fotki.com/contributions_by_name/by_last_name_d_through_g/dave_gittner/dg74dodg.html  |

And here's a story regarding the possible fate of this Monaco. This is from 6 years and 2 months ago ... Well, that just sounds fishy. 6 years ago was 2004, and e-bay was wild with car sales then, as now. But maybe not. Maybe they offered it for sale at $19,500, got no takers, and then sold it for $100. Remember this car:  Started at $19,500 : no sale. www.bluesbrotherscentral.com/forum/topic/9294-sold-1975-bluesmobile-in-a-junkyard-virginia/page__view__findpost__p__112551Then offered at $8,000 : no sale. Then bid up to $1,500 : no sale. Then bid up to $1,825 : no sale. www.bluesbrotherscentral.com/forum/topic/6770-sold-usa-1975-monaco-bluesmobile-oregon/Then discarded at a junkyard, for probably next to nothing.  www.bluesbrotherscentral.com/forum/topic/9294-sold-1975-bluesmobile-in-a-junkyard-virginia/page__hl__junkyard__fromsearch__1They were so uninterested in money, they didn't even sell the 14o speedo separately. But back to that beautiful monaco 6 years ago - no matter how it's sliced, no interest sounds fishy. I think a used car dealership would offer more than $100 for it. Even a junkyard would offer more than $100 for it. Even selling it for scrap would yield more than $100. And certainly e-bay would fetch more. Maybe it was some type of tax-loss strategy. your friend in considering the strange, arthur |

In the shot just before inside the van (shown above), there is a nice pan across the side of the Monaco. edit: Here is that shot. Because the shot pans across the screen, the car is not shown in whole at any one time. I had to piece this together from a few different frames.  |

Nice work on the composite shot. Because of the pan, blurry image, and at that angle, it could be several years, I did the screen grab of the grille, which identifies it as the best year. Corvette Summer is a campy '70s flick, but great for the car nut as it has a seemingly never-ending supply of cool old cars in nearly every scene.

I think the date is wrong on those photos.
(It's probably the date they were uploaded to flickr)
That is the car with the radio delete dash.
I know that I've had those photos for over a year
(and I'm pretty sure they didn't come from flickr)
* They were probably originally from eBay considering they have the little camera logo in the lower corner.
edit:
According to my notes, I've had these photos since Fall of 2005.

Why were all of the Dodge and Monaco badges removed? Awesome car, I love the color scheme.

Saw it up close a few yrs ago at the Ferndale emergency vehicle show . Real deal? K-code 14o? Why were all of the Dodge and Monaco badges removed? It does look naked, doesn't it. No letters, no emblems, no bumperettes, no pushbar, no spotlights.  Must have been for aerodynamics, faster ... to catch the speeders ... quicker.  |
