Moxie is a 2010 Chevy Equinox LT AWD.
The 2.4 liter (145.2 cu-in) 4-banger makes 182 hp @ 6,700 rpm and 172 ft-lb @ 4,900 rpm.
It's a dainty 3,985 lb.
It runs the 1/4 mile in 17.1 seconds at 81 miles per hour.
Yes, Virginia, it's faster than a police package '74 Monaco.
With 20/27 epa estimated miles per gallon no less.
The Equinox will top out before the Monaco at 117 mph vs 122 mph.
It would be interesting to see what the effects of period correct bolt-on parts for both vehicles would do. By 1974, even without catalytic converters which made things even worse for cars in the mid 1970s to 1980s before designs improved, the power was way down compared to the zenith of the original performance era in the late 1960s up to 1970. Emissions standards and later the Arab oil embargo forced car makers to choke down and de-tune a little more each year. Direct spec comparisons get murky for a lot of that time due to a shift from gross HP ratings used earlier to SAE Net ratings later, which dropped reported numbers significantly even on unchanged engines. That 440 police package motor doesn't take a lot of changes to return to much closer to pre-smog specs. To be fair there aren't as many bolt ons for a car like an Equinox that wasn't marketed as a performance vehicle. Comparing to something like your PPV is more fair, in which case it takes a fair bit of power adds to get that Monaco competive to a stock 6.0 LS motor. And the LS has bolt on upgrades available like none ever other than perhaps the original SBC. Even with modern upgrades it would be hard to make that Monaco beat a modern car in a tit-for-tat competiton. Very difficult with period parts, and expensive even back in the day because Mopar was always expensive to work on. Perhaps a more fair comparison would be a 1974 454 Impala or Caprice. to Something like a PPV... Give a few thousand budget in aftermarket parts and see what could be done...

Oh... it is also interesting to consider that despite the petite engine that Equinox probably absolutely slays most mid 1970s familly grocery getters in the quarter mile. I'd bet a lot of them were 20+ seconds, especially the common smaller V8 and I6 models that were popular due to the gas crisis.
