SOLD 1971 Dodge Monaco 440 coupe

[bigmoparjeff]

Car is local to me and I have seen it, and it is supper nice! If any body needs some more pics or help with the sale let me know

Are you saying that there is one for sale in the New York area, similar to the one in the picture?

There is a wagon thread. No need for two

It's not a bench, rather white buckets. In 38 years of paying close attention only the 2nd 71 Dodge C body I recall with white buckets.
Cruise, air and rear defogger ....The value is going up, If the metal is good . That damn paint job ....

No way, the washer bottle is cracked.

That damn paint job ....

What was the original color?

Did he send proof that it was a genuine 440 car?

No, hes been very accommodating with my requests . Do you see something I do not? I was surprised it didnt have the dual snorkel or the factory duals. Ive never seen a factory 70 / 71 440 Dodge C without those.

Looks like GY9 Dark gold.
Found a local ad from the seller ; it was a Southern car , but if he bought it 20 years ago……..

From the photos of the inside of the trunk and underhood, it appears you are correct about tawny gold. I don't know which is worse, the repaint or the original color. Yuck to both. My 46K miles 71 Imperial coupe is tawny gold, and I have had it about 8 years now and still can't warm up to it. The only reason I still have it is because it is easily the smoothest 440 I have ever had. You can't even tell it is running at idle.

 

[bigmoparjeff]

Cool. We had a whole fleet of them here in Phoenix.

Chris, I moved this over to General Discussion, so we don't get yelled at for going off topic.

It's just that so many times in the past people have claimed that 383s and 400s were 440s.

I can't find what I did with my '71 Dodge sales brochure, but if it was a '71 Fury with a standard cam 440, it should have a dual snorkel and dual exhaust, like you said.

Its been a couple years since I have seen a 71 Monaco 2 door for sale, with a 440 no less. But New York is scary, and it is outside at least for the photos..........................

Two photos and wants $15K. Outside mirrors are not original nor are the wheels. And a bumble bee stripe around the rear?

The guy should have bought a Polara, not a Monaco given the add-ons.

"New York is Scary"??? NEW YORK is a STATE not just a city. The town this is in is between Rochester and Buffalo. About as far and different from NYC as it can get. Farm County Many Mopar guys out that way. Yes it rains now and again around here.

I believe Steve was referring to the rust on a NY car being scary, not to crime statistics. Having been born and raised there I agree 100%.

One winter of upstate NY runs for me. That was it for me. Another one and I would have quit the job.

That car needs to be with the the blue one in my opinion @polara71

A friend moved to Buffalo. I'd bust her chops all the time about "why don't you take the subway?"

I contend that Tawny Gold is a nice color, but it must be fresh, and only in the sun.

Number 2 should be easy enough for you Steve.

Just do it...get it?

Wimp.

Wimp.

Yes. Absolutely. No argument. And I'm alive to say it.

Don't know how we can tell it's tawny gold, given the poor lighting. Do we have fender tag?
My 72 Fury is GY8 Gold Metallic
Before clean up, overcast day

After clean up, sunny day

Fury (exterior repaint, but still love gold)
