Taking Delivery

Monaco Wagon from Wildcat
Overview Gallery

General Information

These are photos of the 73 Monaco Wagon I bought from Wildcat Mopars in Oregon. It took a trip across the country in the process. These are pics of it in their lot and being packed up for shipment....and the after dark delivery several days later to a parking lot near me. "Now what?"...

Awesome find! Now the fun begins = Patience, time, and of course monies. I hope you will be able to get this beauty restored. Rare with the hidden head lights on a wagon.

Thanks to all for the encouraging comments. Waiting for cold weather to end so I can install new fuel pump.

That's pretty cool that you bought it. My car is in very similar shape. Good luck with it.

Thanks. I cleaned out & reattached the fuel pump and 'fed' it from a gas can today, the engine ran real smooth from that. Ethanol free, of course.

What are you working on?

Today I opened the glove box. Don't know why I didn't think to do that sooner. Duh.

It had the flipping owner's manual. In the plastic sleeve. With a Registration card. And two spare locks. In a ziplock bag. AND a pull strap from the door, with all the hardware.

Note to self: open glove box soon after buying car, there may be some Easter eggs in there.

We should talk. I passed on that Beast and I'm still kickin' myself. How far from Wilmington are you? I'd at least like to drool on it ah bit, Jer

Hi Jer, I am pretty far from Wilmington. Once I get this roadworthy, maybe there will be some Mopar events in central NC you'd be going to that I will attend. This is slow going, but I am motivated now that I have heard the v8 purr. Right now I have to balance out the demands of life versus wrench time and the repair budget.
