I look at your avatar.
I chuckle.

I hope your neighbors don't complain about the old cars in your driveway.

The jackass somehow managed to break the nipple off for the air shocks on the back. The rear was sagging pretty good. I got a new pair for Christmas. Finally pulled the old girl out and did something. Lmao. First time I've been under her in years. Woof! Not terrible... but not how I remember.
I really havnt touched her. I had a few friends over a few weekends ago. Took em for a spin around the block. After a few cocktails, Decided to mark my territory out front when putting her back away lol!
When taking them for a ride, I stopped by the gas station. Gas gauge doesn't work, and had no idea how much gas was in it. Turned out after 9$ she has a completely full tank! Wondering if I should siphon it out or not..
After installing the shocks took her out for another short little cruise. Tires are terrible! She drives like s#it! Next on the list I guess.
Here's a short vid I shot after a cold start a week or so ago..

I'm very late to this thread. How is it that someone can be so irresponsible and allow the car to deteriorate so quickly? It is mind boggling. Glad to see this story has a happy ending.

Oh yes. Has an old pair of shumacher tri-y headers on her. H pipe exhaust with '70's vintage glass packs. I'm sure the packing in the glass packs is long gone. She is LOUD!! I love it! Sounds sooo good when cruising in 3rd, and give it a little gas. Sounds just like a clip from the dukes of Hazzard lol
B/RB Tri-Y Headers
I want to get the motor and them pulled for cleaning and painting. But has to wait on the Monaco.
I really don't know. He had to of torn it apart, and just left it out to rot the last several years. Granted this was never a show car, but a nice driver. Had/has all the goodies Stan Loves! Haha
A few pics from years back.

I don't know if I'm more excited about helping Zac go broke... or...We get to spend Zac's money again.
