Sometimes you find the strangest thing in Miami and cars are not the exception. Some months ago, I saw an original Charger Super Bee also being transported, but the poor thing was painted in Mint Green…. I shed a tear or two.
Some nights ago, I bumped into a carrier loaded with four 1978 Plymouth Fury (AKA Dodge Monaco,) three in police car configuration and one in civilian:
That is Rogers County, Oklahoma. A darn long way from Miami!
The other two came from East Baton Rouge Sheriffs Office, Louisiana.
They were in pretty good shape on the outside and the age did show, nothing that a bit of buffing could not help to make them look good.
No idea on the condition of the inner works.
I used to own (handed down from Dad, the original buyer) a 1976 Dodge Monaco Diplomat (400 cc) so these guys did bring some nice memories… very comfy back seat, lemme tell ya.
I have a 68 Plymouth GTX convertible. Love old mopars. Nice find
There are no words about how lucky you are.
There’s a Miami (pronounced My-am-uh) here in Oklahoma not too far from Rogers County, so maybe they were just a little confused…
I think you meant 400 cubic inches
The Dodge Charger and the Dodge Super Bee are two different cars. I had a 69 Super bee. I was the Dodge equivalent of the Plymouth Road Runner. The Road Runner was a GTX without all the nice stuff. There was no Plymouth equivalent of the Charger. That one was unique,
And yet all of them were essentially the same car (B body platform) with different skins. š
Miguel…are you sure that the Super bee wasn’t painted in the factory original Sub-Lime Green color? http://tinyurl.com/ldfk4v4
OMG! It came like that from factory? The horror!
Oh…if you think *that’s* bad.. beware the Panther Pink*, Plumb Crazy**, and the worst of all…the ‘mod-top’ vinyl roof!***

Maybe they are going to remake the old Burt Reynolds fast cars and faster women in the South movies like Gator and White Lightning?
They’ve remade movies that are a lot worse.
I thought something along those lines… š
