I agree with your take on this otherwise lovely car. The tach needs to go, and you would have some work ahead to undo some of the other questionable things that the owner did to it. But I doubt you would find a better car to begin with. Buying it would save both money and time for you. Of course...

Congrats! Back in late 1970 my dad bought a new '71 Dodge Monaco in Y9, with the same gold vinyl top and a gold interior. That was one sharp car. The paint and what Chrysler called "gold" for a metallic vinyl roof (actually a darker shade than most golds) were a perfect match for each other, and...

A follow-up 4 years later: I never was able to get into contact with him or his wife. But today I spotted this in traffic being driven right behind me by a fellow of middle-age, certainly not the owner who had it 4 years ago. Either a family member or more likely, in the hands of a new owner...

So are you saying I can post a comment in a FS topic w/o Joey kicking me in the butt? I'd rather hear that from him TBH. He's a good guy and I wouldn't expect that, but it's contrary to what he posted a few days ago. You can understand my confusion. I just want to not be offside.

I'm still confused...

I'm confused - I just went to the For Sale forum and ads posted this week have the typical (and mostly interesting/useful) comments posted in them. What has changed?

It would be nice if the references there like "FABO" and "Duster" could be changed to reflect this site's interest group.

NOT MINE 1970 Dodge Polara | eBay At first glance I thought this was Dave's car, but the interior is the wrong color. Looks to have just turned 100K miles, seems pretty solid. Too bad the interior is black. "THIS AUCTION IS FOR A BEAUTIFUL EXTREMELY RARE (ONLY 842 PRODUCED) AND COLLECTIBLE...

So, Stan, I've been out of the loop having had heart valve replacement back in June and recovering from all that. What's up? Can you fill me in?

Interesting. https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2018/07/27/hemmings-find-of-the-day-1976-chrysler-new-yorker/?refer=news

Here's an article about the two of them: Roger Barr - Wayne Carini | Hagerty Articles

The story I heard is that when Roger had his own mechanic's shop that the Carinis and he used to refer people to each other for different kinds of work, so there has been a lengthy relationship. I guess I have seen too many segments on CCC where Carini scoots out of a widow's house with the...

It's filmed locally and they are all minor celebs here. They seem to have made a pile of money from it as they should have. They have invested some of it in opening a few bars that so far have not done well, closing some of them. I think the booze/drugs/etc. lifestyle has taken its toll. That...

Thanks, Bill. I asked him about the statement on FB saying that Roger receives not a single penny from appearing on the show. I mentioned I thought people who appeared had to be members of ACTRA and would receive scale at a minimum. He responded with a comment that it was an interesting...
