Hello everyone. I'm new here. So if I don't follow some informal rules or something, please bear with me.
I've bee looking for years for the 1977 Dodge Royal Monaco I drove throughout high school and college. She was a beauty. I admit to not fully appreciating her until I grew older. It was a 2-door hardtop 360. There were a lot of memories made in that car.
The search always ends with me being too late, the seller wanting $20K, or it's located in Yellowknife.
So I came across this 1977 Gran Fury today and thought, this is probably pretty darn close to the Royal Monaco. It looks to be in OK condition. It surely needs some upholstery work from the looks of it. It's located less than two hours drive away from me as well.
The sellers states the following "Gran Fury Plymouth, 165,000 miles, Automatic, White Exterior, Tan Interior, 2 Door, 360 (V8) engine, Solid Body, No dents, Owned since 1999, Runs, Low rumble purr, Telescoping steering wheel, Power seats and windows, Smooth ride."
They're asking $2K for this. I plan on making a trip to take her for a spin.
I'd humbly ask you experts here for your thoughts, concerns, advice...really anything you want to add. Thanks for reading and have a great day.
