Update on wifey's wagon. Got it back. I had to do a little fine adjusting on the timing. It runs great. Smooth as silk. Now it looks like I might have to pull the radiator.
Let's see some Wagons!

Sweet! I imagine that it gets more “what’s thats” even more over there.
I always have been amused by that descriptive model name. “Mom, can I borrow the Shopper?” asked no he-man teenage son ever.

Looks to me to be a spare rear half to the one it's sitting on top of.

Here is my '77 Gran Fury 6 pass Wagon "Suburban". Canadian spec. 360 cid "LA" 2bbl . Chrysler built around 2000 of these. This one is kind of an odd duck ..... the floors are Rubber mat covered but the cargo area is carpeted. It had a few issues with the rust worm (Rust blasts around the weld studs for the side molding) So I freshened it up a bit. The rear tires were a bit of an effort ....I bought two new Optimo H724 tires for the whitewall. I had just dropped off a set of rims at the tire shop. I picked them up just before closing & guess what the tire installer did..... Yep, he installed the tires with the whitewall in!! It was Friday so I took the tires and installed them anyway. I had them corrected after I finished painting .... free of charge!

I've just got to say that ol' ma Mopar knew how to design their big wagons from 69-77.

Question, what should a running and driving Royal Monaco Brougham wagon go for today? 400 big block and trans are original matching numbers. From what I can tell the interior looks to be a little ruff. Repainted but not the original color and removed the wood paneling (I think). The current owner has added quite a bit of "personal touches" inside and out, too.
I've noticed that C-body prices are going up. And apparently I have been to conservative in my views on their value. I personally believe the owner is still dreaming, but looking for others opinions.

Well I would have to say that prices have started to surprise me as well ...I've seen a few with prices
nosing 20 thousand , which I think is just greed, but when you consider how many are left and now that people are looking for them , even rough drivers could possibly fetch 8 to 10 thousand. The full dressers with woodgrain intact.... Good trim and nothing for rust , interiors in good to excellent condition , and solid unmolested drivetrains could fetch whatever the owner wants to sell it for , if he has the right buyer... In short at present, a predicable price schedule for these cars does not exist ... try to negotiate the best deal you can.

Had the radiator flushed. All good now. Runs fantastic. Next is beefing up the rear suspension. Previous owner installed crappy air shocks. When I load everything in the back it really sags. Come springtime I will remedy that.

I couldn't agree more, mopar has the most beautiful wagons in 67/68 in my opinion in the C body group. They are all fantastic but I sure do love my fury's.

Nice wagon! i'm located in The Netherlands never saw this advertised on Mobile.de or so.
Mopar is like Gold pressed latium here in Europe.
I haven't checked what cars go for nowadays but sometimes i think you Americans sell them way to cheap

77 Royal Monaco my great uncle bought new and took many road trips in. I still have the Sears Cargo topper sitting on top of the old 73 T&C collecting dust. Really special car to me. All original all stock other than the Cragers. I also have a 75 T&C with a 440 he had. He loved his 70's wagons. He would often describe this one as the last of the big wagons.
