For Sale 1965 Dodge Monaco 426 Wedge 4-Speed

[commando1]

The army of rental scooters running into me annoyed me more than the high priced flip cars in the corral

What corral? Literally 90% of the cars on display in the the Show areas were "For Sale" too.

If I had a little more passion for that car... and a stack of $$... I'd be bugging you. I might not meet your price, but I would at least be working on letting you know I had desire.

Sorry, I don't mean to be educating the masses on how to negotiate or appeal to the seller who wants the car saved... and I'm not really qualified to do so anyhow. I do see the value in what you have offered. I'm really hopeful that this thread will stir the enthusiasts to the surface so you at least have a short list of applicants for the continuation of this car.

I am sorry to say, it doesn't appear that any are FCBO regulars. No biggie, in a few years some newbie will show up and post "Is the car still for sale?" so I see value in putting the word out there.

I'd like to see this one get driven too.

If you wait long enough, eventually you can sell most anything. To be honest I think that's more than the market will bear for such a car. On the other hand, if I were looking for one, it might be worth it to me to pay that price and do a resto rather than spend a lot of money and time looking for one that's less expensive, and maybe coming up blank. Of course, the way to find a super deal on a better car is to pay a lot for one that needs a ton of work... the bargain of the world will show up in a month or two.

The OP is on the opposite end of the scale from me... I had a 70 Sport Fury with only a bit of rust in an a pillar and around the back window, otherwise virtually no rust anywhere, had a very built 440 and racing torqueflite and a ton of parts including brand new in the box Hooker competition series ceramic coated headers, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, brand new set of Chysler road wheels, and on and on. I needed it gone and let the whole works go for a fraction of what the OP is asking for his '66.

Hope he gets what he wants for it.

I think I'll wait for the estate sale. . .

I think I'll wait for the estate sale. . .

You know none of us can predict the future. Personally I hope John plays the lottery tonight and wins big, then has the car trailered to Mark Worman at Graveyard cars, he does a full restoration on it while filming it for the show, and then Chrysler buys the car from him and puts it on display while all of you eat your hearts out.

Is there a 426 "call-out" hood ornament for this model?

Was there a 426 decal on the air cleaner element or valve covers?

Starting with the hood ornament.......all Monacos had a flat one(have an NOS)no matter engine. Polaras and possibly 880's(not 100% sure on the 880)had the stand up ornament with engine designation. As for air cleaner and valve covers.....also a no. The 426W received a special chrome air cleaner and chrome valve covers specifically for that motor. Both accounted for and present on my car. A true gentleman's sleeper if ever there was one, especially with the 4 gear.

So Mr. Polara 71 you must be jealous again.

Not sure why...you should read the thread again then tell me how your foot tastes

I do not need to taste my foot. You are the one who seems to have a problem with John and I being frìends. As for my comments I can say what I want just like you sir.

 

[pomonamissel]

this custom 880 has a stand up without engine size , its is a 383 two bbl originally . going to a 426w rb , and changing out the auto for a a833 4spd . got my setup for change over , still building the engine .

 

[polara71]

Negative, I really couldn't care less who John or anyone else is friends with.
I'm not really sure how you determined from this thread that I presume that either. ...

I've known John 15 years, I'm certain he can vouch I've never once said he couldn't hang out with anyone.

Nor did I say you can't talk or say anything ...... so I'm really puzzled by the accusation

But you can have the real thing

 

[pomonamissel]

yes it should be a cool ride , it is a rag , white with dark n lite med red interior . got a pair of 65 chrysler 300 bucket seats for it . not going to run a console . just that hurst shifter with a white ball , hanging out of the tunnel should be cooler looking . and twin inline fours atop that 426 , like my 383 package i ran on this car years ago . that 383 would go 120 at the top of second in the 727 , and beyond the limits of the speedo in drive . this new rb should be way more fun , lol .

 

[pomonamissel]

but it would be a shame to modify it , i've never kept a stocker .

Now boys........play nice or you will be sent to your rooms without any form of Mopar entertainment!! Carry on.

 

[polara71]

I've been , with respect for you.

You of all people know what response you receive when you push Jersey buttons....ive been good

Why does the image of Dan Corley keep appearing in my head?

Why does the image of Dan Corley keep appearing in my head?

Thought the exact same thing. He had that car for sale for years.

He didn't love the car, he loved $$$$

Hopefully the OP will keep preserving the car in the wait ahead.
