Wow! I didn't know that.

That green 73 Imp was an early build. My 73 340 Ralleye Challenger had a 8.75 Sure Grip.
 
Virginia allows Year Of Manufacture registration.

The date on the photo is from 2010 ....... That's all I was saying... Presumed he was in Virginia and not DC where the ad is located on CL.......

Thanks though...didn't know that about Virginia tags
 
You guys just can't appreciate an 2.76 8.75" Dana 60 Posi-trac rear end when you see one.
 
Here is his response to my email:

This was a ordered car and its a 9 seat thank you

this car is not for everyone Its very very rare
first off 71 is the rarest monaco wagons 2nd its a low production number 3rd its the all options ordered model and last but not least it is the very last one ever made in the year of 71 best offer is at 2500 right now there is a guy from ny and another from chicago who are planning to come to va to look at it before they give their offer

Thanks Stephen

P.s. if you really want to do some research I'll send you the vin#

Notice he calls his a "9-seat", when I'm pretty sure he means "9-passenger". I'm wondering how he knows it's the "very last '71 Monaco wagon built, since he can't even tell what rear axle it has under it.Oh, well, at least we know the price, at $2,500. Might be a good deal for a Rust Coaster.

BTW, Washington DC is surrounded by VA and MD, so that is why the guy ran his ad in the DC CL.


 
Thanks for the update . I guess I may have to have some fun when I get home.
And thanks for the geography lesson..... I had NO idea where DC was....
 
Towards the end of production of the '73 model year, some cars got 9-1/4's when they ran out of the 8-3/4's.
I found a TSB on the Hamtrack Registry stating thus when somebody I knew on Fins bought a '73 Coronet and none of us could figure out why it had the 9-1/4.

Folks. First i do NOT want to hi-jack this thread with my question so my apologies in advance if that is an unintended consequence.

I have noticed, and i have only seen a fraction of the info in the forum, little "jewels" of knowledge show up..little known facts, well-known "facts" debunked..about our beloved "C''s?

Is there anywhere..probably not given the difficulty as I am thinking and writing this...these things are/can be accumulated? A repository, other than a thread, of some sort on the forum?

If one of you members/moderators has an answer for me, shoot me a PM so, again, my question doesnt send the thread sideways.

Cool wagon by the way...hope it finds a good home.
 
You'll never get anyone to all agree what a "jewel" is.
Fights will break out on who, what, when, where, and why on accumulating them.
Sleep apnea is a jewel. Yes? No?

that's one ... the "fighting''.. big potential difficulty for sure. heck, my 87 year old aunt (still in very good health) doesnt believe man landed on the moon...and there's no debating that as I "argued" with her about it 30 years ago and just 3 weeks ago.

anyway, maybe the "facts" should be left to the model-specific forums (Imperial Club, Gran Fury Club(?) etc.) and/or for the consumer of the information to use/discard as they see fit.

thanks...I can let this one go :icon_cheese:
 
I sure enjoy the MOPAR wagon discussions and comments. I learn alot by pictures and comments. I'm totally stuck on 1960-61 Chryslers....2-doors....Dang ...My first ride ever in a MOPAR was a 413...push-button...black 2-door Chrysler.
My thought is still there??? What just happened????
This ain't my dad's Ford Station Wagon....that's for sure.
Thank's Guys.
My 1967 T and C is still waiting for a home.

I'm pretty sure my next car is going to be a 1960 Desoto Adventurer. NN-1 Smoke Pearl Metallic and a White top.

Oh, man. I hope you get it. It couldn't have a more appreciative owner.
Troll-wise, that was TMI by the way.
