[JKNLWUD]

Type of Bluesmobile: Original (Replica)
Country: AZ, USA

Make: Dodge
Model: Monaco
Year: 1974
Speaker: In progress. Currently has Hidden External Speakers and PA system
Year Purchased: 2003
Available for bookings: Yes
Description: Originally a Rick Shields, House of Blues Car. Converted from a Civilian Monaco, now a 440 Police package car. As part of the restoration, all of the proper Police package parts were installed. (Suspension, brakes, 440 engine, Drivetrain, etc.) Used at HOB in Orlando for events, including celebrity events. Driven on the Oval at Daytona 500 in '99 for Pre-Show. After purchasing the car and relocating it to AZ, we have been working on making it as correct as possible. Including adding the "junk" to the dashboard, and dirtying up the car further. Currently we are fabricating a roof speaker and mounts that will be as accurate to the movie as possible as well as being functional. (200W PA system.) Screen accurate Metal license plate on the front of the car. AZ Plate: JKNLWUD on the rear. Photos to follow as time allows.

Type of Bluesmobile - BB2K (under construction)
Location - Indianapolis, IN, USA
URL - http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2170808
Make - Ford
Model Crown Victoria P72
Year - 1991
Speaker - NO
Year Purchased - 1999 and again in 2005
Available for bookings - Not Yet
Description - Origionally a black and white cruiser for Dayton, OH. Equiped with a cop motor, a 351 cubic inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It was a model made after catalytic convertors
(even though they have been cut off), so it runs like crap on regular gas.
Being on a very limited budget, this may take some time to get up and going. Looks like it's going to take about $5000 to get it completed to have ready for bookings and car shows.

Any and all help is appreciated...

hey chris!

Here's all my info, thanks

Owner: John
1974 dodge monaco (original movie)
purchased 2005
Chicago Illinois
Yes available!, and what ever

Details/ Description:
This was Scott Mellberg's car of Chicago, Because of his eye's he had to sell her (June 2005). She is a bit rusty but still some good metal.
I ended up having to paint her my self so she was done real cheap, if you see her close you'll see the strip studs still.

I chose to show the car w/ scenes rather than close ups of just the car because shes not real authentic, lovely green interior and so on. I work downtown and cruise it more often then antique plates allow! Ha! If ya see me, stop and say hey or write, Cheers!!!

Thanks to Scott M, Jerry Birkenheier, Nick & Pete Rigali, Jamie Schmidt, Joe Flores and Pat Belzer, Tony Whitney, Mike "Rockin" Randle, Mark Adams, Rich Santoro, John Kola, Mario Novelli, OLD STYLE!!! And definetly Debb Mrazek!!! Also most recently Jim Belushi for his time, kindness & the great pic!!!

HELLO THERE! I HAVE A BLUESMOBILE I HAVE OWNED FOR YEARS. I AM NOT COMPUTER SAVY BUT I JUST STUMBLED ONTO YOUR SITE AND JOINED. AWSOME BY THE WAY! MY CAR IS VERY REAL LOOKING. I HAVE A FUNCTIONAL ROOF MOUNTED HORN AS WELL. I WILL TRY TO POST PICS ASAP. THE CAR SITS OUTSIDE OF OUR HOUSE AND I HAVE HAD HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE TAKE PICTURES BY IT AND TRY TO BUY IT ON A DAILY BASIS. IT IS MY DAILY DRIVER AND HAS BEEN FOR YEARS. NOTHING BEATS THE FEELING OF GOING TO WORK IN A BLACK AND WHITE 1974 DODGE MONACO 4- DOOR SEDAN WITH A HUGE HORN ON THE ROOF. PEOPLE AROUND SOUTHERN INDIANA LOVE IT. AT CAR SHOWS I AM AMAZED AT HOW MANY KIDS AND YOUNG ADULTS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE CAR IS ABOUT. I JUST ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN AND CRANK " I NEED YOU, YOU, YOU...". NO CULTURE. MY CAR STAYS DIRTY AND LOOKS PERFECT. GRAPHICS ARE TAKEN FROM STILL SHOTS FROM THE MOVIE. THANKS FOR THE POST AND HAVE A GREAT DAY.


P.S.
"YOU GOT MY CHEESE WIZ BOY?"

HELLO THERE!

Welcome to Blues Brothers Central. First thing, there's a button on your keyboard, it looks like this:



Please switch it off before you post. Posting in CAPITAL LETTERS is the equivalent of shouting on forums, and you basically walked in the room and screamed at all of us

So the horn on the roof works! That's fantastic! We'd all love to see photos, but take your time

Isn't it great having an excuse to not clean your car? :D

Do you have an 8-Track player yet?

Hi
Owner: Nigel Canning
Car: 1979 Mini Clubman Estate
Purchased: 2004
Location: near Birmingham, UK
Available?: Yes, for a uniquely British take on a classic car!
Details: After finally deciding on how to modify my newly purchased Mini, the car had to have a complete body renovation to get rid of all the rust! New shocks, wheels, brakes, steering and exhaust and an uprated engine were the mechanical improvements and loads of tlc on the bodywork to get the shine just right. I made the stars myself but got a license plate via Hotrodthug in the States. Still some cosmetic things to do (like a siren and blue Police lights) but turning heads at Mini Shows around the UK.
