- We first saw this Monaco Special in a field in Alberta, Canada. Not a K-code but a two tag special order car, I'm assuming it must be an A38 package. Ex-RCMP with the U-code 440 High Performance. We had a big thread for this one at the ol' Blues Central so we've known about it for 14 years. Here's how it looked when we first saw it ...
The "King of the Hill" nickname came from us. During that time there were THREE 1974 Monaco sedans for sale at the same time so we did what we do in that situation and gave the cars names. I don't remember the other two but this one we called King of the Hill based on it being ex-police with a 440 ! It got the nickname long before it became a Blumo so in the ad where it says, "THIS CAR IS KNOW AS "KING OF THE HILL" AMONGST BLUES BROTHER SOCIAL MEDIA SITES" that's a bit misleading, when we called it King of the Hill it was still a brown (?) sedan sitting in a field. She's a beauty now and has been for many years but nobody here has ever referred to this car as the King of the Hill of Blumo's
That being said the Buy It Now is $60,000 USD, that's $80,000 in Hoser money so take-off, eh !
I can't recall any speedo anomaly back then when we first saw the car and it then eventually became for sale. I'm not sure what might have happened to the original certified 14o, the certified 140 in the car now is a replacement speedo with the red 1/10th numbers.

I believe they were actual brothers that bought the car back then for around $10,000 and they did a Blues Brothers act.
