    NOT MINE 71 Monaco Yuma AZ $20,000

    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...

    1971 Sport Fury GT - New Owner of the Vegas GT

    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...

    The Car I Will Buy...

    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...

    ATTENTION Just to let everyone know ----

    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.

    ATTENTION Just to let everyone know ----

    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?

    RE: Marketplace rules

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

    Hemmings Find of the Day

    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?

    Roger Barr of Chasing Classic Cars

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

    Roger Barr of Chasing Classic Cars

    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...

    Trailer Park Boys on Netflix

    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...

    Roger Barr of Chasing Classic Cars

    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...

    Roger Barr of Chasing Classic Cars

    Bill, the admins did ID themselves further up the page as Jim Barr (his son who is in the USAF) and Sally Barr (Roger's wife). You must have missed it, so I posted a capture of it below. I saw your post asking about filing a WC claim and that is a reasonable question that I hope sees an answer...

    Roger Barr of Chasing Classic Cars

    Easiest way to understand the Barr side of the story is to read the first few posts and replies to them here. It seems complicated. Roger Barr

    Roger Barr of Chasing Classic Cars

    Stumbled onto this yesterday and it seems like a sad story. According to his son (posting on Roger's page on FB) Roger has been laid up twice over the past few months with infections that he believes were caused by working on the Minerva that Wayne Carini (host of Chasing Classic Cars on...

    Fuselage Quality

    Chrysler Canada was always a bit of a mystery back then. Our '71 Monaco was built there. Unlike US Monacos, it came standard with a 318. I suppose there are other trim/equipment changes I was unaware of. Earlier in the 1960s they built C-body Dodges with Plymouth dashboards. It is probably best...

    1970 Sport Fury GT TV Commercial (+other 1970 Chrysler ads)

    Theoretically possible I suppose (he would have been 32 or so at the time) but I don't think so. I love the background "Plymouth Makes It" music in this ad. There are a couple of other C-body ads in this compilation. Here's one for the Big Dodge: And here's the Chrysler "Your Next Car" ad...
