SOLD 1971 Monaco Didn't Last Long

[saforwardlook]

This seemed like a decent car for the money, and someone also must have thought so. It sold in about 3 days. Anyone on this board get the car? Nice options and the underside didn't look near as scary as the decklid and other rusty spots such as the roof and trunk floor. These almost never come up for sale it seems ................

I wonder about the miles on the car as listed, as the driver seat seems pretty ragged and the engine was painted orange, which wasn't the case with the production 383-4 bbl engine, making me wonder if it was original matching numbers.

Looks like a parts car to me. If I still had a project I would have been interested in this for parts. I wouldn't try and fix that rust.

You are right....71 monacos.... Two and four doors are hard to find.


This one never came up on my E bay search

The car would have been a stunner when new.

 

[polara71]

Yes....Red interior, very seldom seen

I know him. He's a straight shooter.

The seller or the buyer?

 

[commando1]

The seller. Young guy. Works in a salvage yard. Eats, sleeps, drinks, shits Moparts.

And you didn't turn me onto this car before the E bay listing

 

[commando1]

I stopped cruising eBay and CL after I bought BitterSweet.
Found everything I ever wanted for my C-bodies. Or cars for that matter.

I thought since you knew him you were insinuating you were closer than E bay friends

 

[commando1]

No. I know him. He pops in on occasion at our car shows.

So you never saw this car before the E bay ad?

 

[commando1]

This thread was the first time.
Like I said, I don't do searches anymore.

the car/seller both attended the Mopar Nats in Ocala.
it was for sale at 4.300$ originally on saturday lowered to 3.800$ on sunday.

It was repainted. Had some rust and bondo in various places.
It seemed to be pretty tired. A beater driver

I like all Monaco's. Sporty looking full size Mopar's.

It looks beat but a great, great parts car

 

[1978 NYB]

That looks good enough to be a great daily driver.

Its a rattle trap with too much rust and work to be needed.....
