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. AWESOME JOB REPLICATING THE ICONIC BLUES MOBILE.

[@moparcasey3135]

I built one with my dad like 20 years ago.he still has it! He says it’s the most fun of any of the classic cars he owned. It’s got 440 ci plant!

[@lesallison9047]

Cool 👍🇬🇧

[@grahamevans9296]

Cool man, I'd love to get one

[@georgedrake1430]

Ya be hard to come across old dodge that still in good shape

[@grahamevans9296]

Like he said, those cars are over 45 years old now - scary how much time passes.

[@phillanassa759]

NICE! Quick mnemonic for delineating between Big Block (361-440) Mopar and Small Block (273-360), distributor is in the front on Big Blocks, and in the rear on Small Blocks. Love the car! We called the Monaco's and Fury III's the "Glide Ride" in the 70's as they would glide over bumps, down the road, over shopping carts, Datsun's, you get the picture.. Oh one more thing, Fun Fact, the 400's were Big Blocks, they were 383's over-bored to get to 400 CID. Popular today to put a stroker crank, pistons and rods in, you come out with a 496 cid and about 700 HP, ON PUMP GAS! That would make that 4000+ pound Cop Yacht FAST!.

[@mrnohax5436]

the cigarette light got thrown out in the movie but here it works lol

I love that car! The Blues Brothers mobile in the movie was like a character of it’s own!

[@niteclydn]

One of my fave clips is when then ran the Nazis off the bridge. He shit cans the gas pedal and u hear that 440 roar

[@LITTLE1994]

You guys made 8 of these? Impressive! This was the legend cop car before the Fury, Caprice and Crown Victoria. I like the fact the replica is actually not messed up but appear to be.

[@JohnDoeEagle1]

Forgot the Dodge Polara and Diplomat. Both were heavily used and nice cars as well.

[@darylmatis4061]

Very cool guy, he bought my old 74 Monaco and now the car lives in England

[@andymceachern9668]

In 1994 I picked up a 75 Monaco Brougham 4dr hdtp for $75. Wrong car but close enough for the price. I gave it the BB paint job, stripped the interior, welded up a roll bar and raced it at Flamboro Speedway near Hamilton Ontario. We had fun. 3 years later I had the pleasure of meeting Dan Aykroyd at the CBC HQ in Toronto. Showed him a pic of the car. He smiled and said 'Shit, that looks like genuine fun!' Then he signed for me.

[@cockshuttmatt7467]

My Dad built the original. Was a used car on the lot they pulled off to build. His shop worked on all the cars.

[@ginadisbrow9324]

My memory is a little hazy, but there is a fair amount I do recall from my childhood. I grew up as a female loving and appreciating everything automotive (mostly classic, domestic). Somehow, a link I clicked on about the Blues Bros. vehicle used led me to the '74 Dodge Monaco (of the which I'd never heard). I just wanted to relate to you the sad story of my dad having briefly owned a 1966 Dodge Polara convertable, white. So pristine our small town parade committee asked him if they could use it for the homecoming parade. This was approximately 1974, when I was 10 years old. And my poor dad didn't have the foresight (or finances at the time) to hold onto it for the future appreciation. I could cry.

[@ComputerLearning0]

I had this model car back in the early 80's and it was a fantastic car. I loved driving it because it was so comfortable. It was a huge car and it drank gasoline like crazy and mine had a 360 ci motor but in my opinion it was still rather peppy. I had a 77 Fury before that and it had a 318 and was a bit slow for my taste but this car was really great. I love playing GTA-5 and I installed this car in the game as a police vehicle and it's loads of fun to use and brings back lots of great memories!

[@Highside17]

Its about damn time youtube put your videos back into my feed!

We needed a start, just need to hear that distinctive Dodge sound!

[@johncole4380]

I love the way the car looks I would leave it the way it is.

[@gordroberge3824]

I think after the Blues Brothers was finished filming in 79. The surviving Monaco's were later used up in the first season of The Dukes Of Hazzard.

[@Foxonian]

I know the Chicago Police ones were later used on Hill Street Blues. All they did was change the "Chicago" to "Metro" and the bar lights from blue to red.

[@1chuck96]

VERY well done my Friend!

[@mrj-charles6383]

Bob, you are about the same age as me. I remember back in the 80s you could find these cars all day long for under $500. I had a 73 New Yorker I paid $100 that ran and drove in 84. Unfortunately, I think a lot of these 70s cars ended up in Demo Derbys back then. I think cash for clunkers also contributed to the shortages of them.

[@231gnx]

Mainly rust and mechanical issues destroyed all old iron back then.

[@Gwatts78]

I just found a great photo of the Blues Brothers car at Disney World in September of 1981 . It's awesome cause this may have been the actual car. Or one used in the movie. It has the horns on top as well, in the pic. But it's only one picture straight head on front picture. And it's on a stage do you get only the grill windshield and horn

[@ClassicRideSociety]

Maybe one of these days I'll find one in the junkyard

[@pabloluchi3595]

Thank you for this great review about this super iconic car!! I enjoyed everything. The end was so cool, it has a lot of pickup! Regards!

[@orlandonostagiafever1964]

The Dodge letters were missing a D in the movie.

[@charger19691]

Nice build Bob and crew. I know you know everything about building a Bluesmobile accurately, but I’d love to see one of these 74 Monaco’s with a 440 built into a cherry Mount Prospect police car way before Jake and Elwood got their hands on it. Just one built to look mint would be a nice change. So many of these cars were sent to the crusher because of the brutal lives they had, I’d like to see one sparkle and run perfect.

[@ARAR148]

my 1974 Lincoln continental mark IV had perfect original interior, and drives great

I don’t live far from the Rt66 Bluesmobile. Always wondered where it came from. Now I know!

[@fastfordman1965]

One day you will build me a Bluesmobile and I will pay. I’ll pay for it. Oh, it’s gotta have either a blown 440 sticking out of the hood or a hell cat engine.

[@J.R.in_WV]

That’s definitely a 383 or 400…..the distributor being in the front is how you can tell a Big Block from an LA small block like a 360…they have the dizzy in back like a Chevy. If it’s a 400 it’s actually a more desirable block than run of the mill non HP tall deck 440’s….although they were a smog engine the block has a lot more material cast into the main webbing and because of that the 400 block has the strongest bottom end of all the Mopar big blocks.

[@6sudali]

I think Jake threw the cigarette lighter out the window, Elwood must have replaced it after all....

[@misterwhipple2870]

Uuuhh, a-hem, (cough, cough): The speedometer in the BluesMobile was a Police Special scaled to 140 MPH. This is a regular 120 MPH unit. Also, the Police Specials did not come with the electronic digital clocks, in fact, it was not offered in 1974.

[@MikesAutoWorld]

On normal C-Bodies, they were offered. I have a 74 Gran Fury Coupe with the Chronometer

[@misterwhipple2870]

@@MikesAutoWorld By "electronic", I mean an electronic, vacuum-fluorescent discharge display. In '74, they DID offer the older ELECTRIC digital clock, with the odometer-like turning drums. But that is not "electronic".

[@oveidasinclair982]

I know it's a big expense, but you should have put the real 440 in there.

[@kavinskysmith4094]

Hmm if its got a 360 that is nothing to sneeze at, as they used those in the dodge diplomat cop cars they made in the 80's, and in the little red express truck, and they were proper rippers, hell in the nash bridges tv show apparently don's favorite cuda was the one that had the 360, not the 440 in it they used for the cruise by shots, as I guess the 440's so big and heavy it tends to make the cars that have them plow abit, and the 360's a good inbetween between a 318/340 series, and the 383 and up big blocks.
