As some of you know I was dealing with knee problems while at Carlisle. I went to my surgeon this past Wed. and at that time my knee was X-rayed and an MRI was also done. This morning I had a follow up visit to find out the prognosis and to get recommendations. I have had 3 operations on the knee in the past and its to the point where the only thing left to do is to replace my knee, he also recomended a change in my career due to the physical nature of my job. I am 63 and no spring chicken so a change of career is out of the question so I am seriously considering retirement which will lower my mothly income quite a bit. There are many more things to take into consideration such as my wife's health and age but in the end I have come to the conclusion that we will have to move and by doing so I will have no garage and due to that the Monaco 500 will be sold. The funds just won't be available to fund extras let alone added insurance or storage fees.
To say that I am upset doesn't begin to scratch the surface of how I feel at this point. Many of you saw the car at Carlisle and know what it looks like and its condition. It made a trip of over 1100 miles with no problems and is probably one of the finest examples of the 68 Monaco 500 left. The odometer reads about 61,500 and I have the original California title that the car came with. I am asking $14,250.00 for the car and I feel that its worth every penny and every penny of that will be needed for what is to come in our future. You can fly in and drive it home, just about every major system on the car has been rebuilt or replaced. You won't be getting a car, you will be taking a dream.
