I am looking at what I think is a 66.
Did they make 500's in 65 how do I tell the difference?
Anyone know how many were made with what engines?

White book shows ~ 7,332 2DR HTs and ~552 convertibles made for sale in the US for the 1966 model year.

There is no break out by engine but the 383-4bbl with console automatic was standard. Figure most came with that set up.

The Monaco 500 production is kind of odd.

Convertible production for US sold cars stopped after 66 but continued for CA sold cars through 69. The HT was discontinued for sale in the US after the 68 model year but continued in CA for 1969.

(68 CA sold convertible pictured below)

There is a Monaco 500 option package for the 70 model year but there was no stand alone model like in previous years.
