NOT MINE 1969 dodge monaco

[Mid70's Chrysler Fanatic]

...1969 Dodge Monaco 4dr Hardtop - $19,995 - Cerritos, California

"...[Disabled] Heater [and] AC ...Small trans pan gasket leak [despite trans rebuild]...Headliner [f¥€<ed up], too lazy to put it up the proper way. Blower vent motor [or] buttons not working. Not sure Radio works ...Some dings here and there, ...Driver seat worn Passenger seat worn ...And if it doesn’t sell quickly, price will only go up."

Now is he on something - or off his meds? Duhhh, did he try turning the radio ON and work the way up the dial, or did the lack of a touchscreen baffle him?

The dashboard padding is bad, too.

The more I see those '69 Polara/Monacos, the more I like 'em!

At 19 grand? I'll borrow a line I just saw on the Craigslist Morons' thread: he's really out to lunch. (Not that I could afford it anyway.)

I'm guessing that there's a cracked heater core or something; I can't think of any reason to disconnect the heater - instead of just not using it.

The asking price for DH43H9D160652 is now down to $10k. Still too much IMO, even though I really like this car:

1969 Monaco/Polara 4bbl 383ci 330hp 425ftlbs tq, Dual Exhaust 4-Door Hardtop. Again, factory specs on this motor is 330hp and 425ftlbs of torque on the 3.23 axle. It has the high performance 383 motor, just a step below the 440 motor that had 375 HP and 480ftlbs of torque.

Interesting that the car went from 5K to 20K when the title changed hands.

Truly out of touch with car guys reality. Flippers just piss me off. Add 1K and call it good. Flip another one. 15K though? For some touch ups to the car?

As I have noted elsewhere, when DH43H9D160652 first went up for sale, I very seriously considered buying it. A close friend of the owner, who was helping the latter with the sale due to the his poor health, is a very nice person and he helpfully procured and forwarded the info that I needed and requested. That interaction generated a number of additional pictures showing the car's overall condition.

The main issue, cost-wise, is that this car needs an interior redo, as it has been thoroughly sun-baked. Since rust is not an issue, it is mostly just money -- but when one adds the dash, the headliner, and the front seats, not to mention re-chroming some of the trim and replacing sundry smaller pieces like the armrest pads and bases, etc. -- we are talking about $5k with labor to redo it right, as I would want it. So one is already $10k into a car, without doing the A/C or any of the other mechanical items. Add the latter, and it had better be a "must-have" car. For me, it is not.

This said, it sports a very nice color combo, has a 383-4, and has the rare bucket seats with buddy. If I had unlimited space and time, and did not care about being more than half underwater, then I would have bought it -- but I do not, do, and thus did not.

BUT, it seems that I was the only person seriously interested before the flipper showed up. So now, we are seeing the outcome.

Maybe its just my getting up there in age, but it seems to me this country is surely being ruined by unbridled greed and egos everywhere one turns and a complete lack of morals or good judgment anymore.....................

The above discussion is just one example of where it leads.............................

Is it me or is the rear passenger quarter panel just above the tail light have some bad bondo or is it just the pic?

 

[cuda hunter]

I agree, it does appear to be repair. There are a few spots that I question on this car that I am sure would be cleared up by looking at the car in person. But at that price, I'm sure I will not.

At the time I gave the car a cursory look, wasn't interested in it in any way. I never cared for the rear window on the 4-door hardtops, I think at the time it had a For Sale sign in it, I may have posted it then.

DH43H9D160652 is back for sale on CL in OK. The car has had quite a bit of work done in the past year:

"Selling my 1969 Dodge Monaco,
Good solid car from California, and now she resides in Oklahoma .
It has the original numbers matching 383 High performance engine, and heavy duty 727 Transmission (...) also came with dual snorkel breather, and dual exhaust (...)
I rebuilt the 383, it is bored .030 over , when I tore the motor down, it was very clean like the owners before me changed the oil regularly.
I put in quality engine components, Keith Black pistons, Edlebrock performer intake, double roller timing chain, Competition Cam that has a little more lift than what came from the factory, not too radical, Hastings rings, new cam bearings, rod and main bearing, windage tray, new electronic ignition, Fel Pro gaskets , and topped it off with a brand new Edlebrock performer 800 CFM Carb.
A lot of money was put into the heads with all new valves, guides , heavy duty springs, and keepers, 3 angle valve job and hardened seats were installed to run unleaded gas.
some of the other things I have done since I had the car, just installed new rear KYB shocks on the rear, the front are good, it had one bad tie rod end but I replaced all 4 of them. I was told that the transmission was rebuilt from the previous owner but I completely flushed it, added new fluid and filter , and installed a brand new TCI pan with drain plug. brand new radiator and water pump, and a new power steering pump , and new battery, and new Master cylinder
I have the original wheels and hub caps with like new tires, I installed brand new tire on 15" Cragar 5 spoke mags
The car is a factory A/C car but most of these components were removed, if I keep the car I will put Vintage air in.
The car will need interior work done, and to really make it nice a new paint job. I have a much better dash pad and instrument cluster that will go with the car
(...)
$17500 or best offer"

 

[polara71]

That was something I was interested in. With my 69 wagon being a white interior car this would have made a great stable mate.

I have a personal rule. A rebuilt engine is a bad engine. I do not know this guy's credentials , how it was built, why it was built or how bad he abused it once done. Just too many questions.
So this buyer, now seller wants me to pay to undo all he did all the while knowing he was gonna flip it. AND Now the trunk pan is wrong.
