SOLD 1971 Monaco Didn't Last Long

It would probably be a good daily if you don't care about the rust.
Fixing all the rust would end into a respary and everything, a little bit much for a "daily driver".
So you need a thick skin to drive it "as is"

The interior is also a problem.... The whole car is a mess

I would take it as a daily driver. The exterior rust is daunting but doable (the underside is the only thing that saves it I think)...I've seen people driving much worse than that on my travels. The interior is another question.....there is no way I could stand driving around with all that mess. I must have a nice, clean and tidy interior. The first thing I'd do is get it reupholstered, it would make for a mighty nice looking cabin I think.

Yep, I would of had some do a 100% detail on it and just drive it.

No detailing to do on that peeling repaint

Scrape the loose stuff off and shoot some clear over it.

It's been repainted....it didn't earn it's patina. Look at the ripples on the right door and the rocker molding is missing on that side...it's been hit pretty hard.
The engine is orange.. why? Look at the fiberglass on the trunk floor. The rust on the dutchman. The carpet spot on the drivers side.... that floor may be bad... too much to repair

Ok. You win. I didn't study the pics well enough. Sounds like a good parts car..........
