NOT MINE 71 Monaco Triple Black Loaded 440 car

[Hap]

I can in one word.

Loaded.

This has got your name all over it Wyatt and the price is right . I would jump on it if I had the 300 at least close to done .
I'm with you on fixing these up , I do it because I love the process .
I'm already into the 300 for more than I can get back , but it's the car I always wanted and it's going to get finished no matter the cost .
I plan on driving it .
Just my thoughts , Jerry .

Wyatt, buy it for your forthcoming daughter, get it stashed in a safe place, get your daughter hooked and make it a joint ptoject…. I'm serious!

Dilemma. I have a daughter on the way, and lots of other plans for other cars I already have so the timing really can't get worse.

Priorities Wyatt.

I know a bunch of guys are encouraging you to buy this car. I would love to see it saved too, but you have something far more important going on. I've been there, done it.

So, my advice is that unless you can make fast money on this car, walk away. Yea, I'd like to see it saved too, but I'm a Dad myself and learned a long time ago that cars come in way behind family, especially kids.

Life is about to make a huge change, and you are going to have to learn to roll with the punches. In the end, this is just a car and nothing else. I hope the best for you and your family.

I've alerted some folks i think would be interested in it. There's a good chance it will be going to live with my old blue monaco.

I decided yesterday I would only step in to avoid destruction of the car.

I just know something better than this will pop up the minute I make a deal and I'll be stewing over that too.

I can't save them all.

Damn, reality check is such a buzz kill, but of course @Big_John is right. I've been down this road before and the frustration of not getting to a project is greater than missing "the one that got away". You will probably get greater satisfaction knowing it went to a good home.

Great car!!! I would expect a Y14 on the tag ?!

 

[SportFury70]

I'm struggling with this one bad. I can only buy 1 or 2 more emergency cars...I don't know if this is one of them.

I think @polara71 Dave needs it more

 

[SportFury70]

Now I have cropped photos on my phone tempting me further.

Delete em, you don’t need it

Combo ...screw and rivet . Can,t remember seen that before.

 

[crv]

Isn't Missouri big on demo derby events?, you'd think that someone thinking of saving such a rare C body would jump on it before the demo crowd does.

Man if I had the cash and the means to travel to go pick it up I'd be all over this car I'd love to have a 70 or 71 dodge or chrysler. For now ill keep working on my 78 newport
