I had all but forgotten about the new 68 Dodge Monaco I had with a 318.... Hardly a muscle car, it didnt seem to be able to get out of it's own way. It was pretty but definitely underpowered. I had traded a 63, monterey convertible 390 merc in on it, and was immediately dissapointed with the performance.

It was stolen after about a month, and when I got it back, it was even weaker than before..

So, when the new Mercs came out, I traded it up for another full sized 390 merc monterey that you could land airplanes on the hood or the trunk. That car ended up with about 300,000 miles before the rust monkies ate it completely up...
