For Sale 71 Monaco

[polara71]

If you don't have to turn the wheel from where it is positioned presently, you could just jack it up and unhook the shift lever linkage and move the lever on the trans to the neutral position and roll it onto a trailer if the tires will hold air long enough, or even if they won't, as long as you have a good winch.

That' what I told Wyatt but being in an alley he' s gonna have some trouble.

I haven't gotten the car home yet. I will say the interior is very very nice. Car is showing 64k. Body is rough. But it did pop off with a little starting fluid and a fresh battery.

She's home. Full report tomorrow in the daylight. I should really run it through a car wash. But the "patina" is only authentic once...

How’d the big dodge do pulling her?

We have had this 98 Durango since 2000 my mother drove it literally to go shopping and run errands. Original driveline with roughly 180k on it now. (Speed sensor went out a few months back and stopped counting at 173k.) While it is not made for this type of work I feel like it handles a full C-body fine. ON THIS TRAILER. When I picked up the 73 New Yorker and even the 70 Fury without a drivetrain with the Durango on a U-Haul trailer, it was difficult to go over 45-50. The weight was pushing me all over the road over those speeds and it was quite an eye opener. I had said the Fury was the last one for the Durango (because of my experience with the U-Haul trailer) but after my buddy's trailer, the right vehicles are worth the abuse for old Blue. I need to skip the next screaming deal and get a real truck and leave our beloved Durango to run errands and haul the pups around for the rest of it's days.

It does have two tags. Cruise. Rear defrost. AC. Interior is extremely nice with only a couple splits on the driver's side of the seat. DASHPAD!!! It's also got the rear speaker fader. Built in 6-71. We did pop an battery in it. I cleaned up the contacts for the points and she fired up right away with some fresh gas down her throat for the first time since 03. I'll post up pictures when I got some daylight.
