He prices it like a #1 car saying it needs very little now besides paint. I think a lot of interior and a total suspension rebuild to start.

Yeah , but no 4-speed cars .
Sold my 63 mercury monterey colony park wagon , orig 4 on the floor for 12,5 K euro,s almost 15000,- dollars.
Same condition as the 4 spd Monaco wagon here.

I love 4 speeds and long roofs and its a long roof with a big block and 3rd pedal and all but that's a lot for that car in that condition.

I'd be happier with a nice driver that had been converted to 4 speed and needed little to nothing for a similar price.

Martin,
Nice price...but there are real avid collectors of Colony Park Wagons and it is not surprising that you got that kind of price. GM/Ford collectors so outnumber Mopar collectors. I think the 60/61 NY Town and Country's and my 1960 Dodge Polara are some of the most beautiful wagons ever to grace the highway. But having been at a lot of shows from the GM/Ford perspective they are viewed with amusement and not thought to be on the level of their wagons...Colony Park collectors in particular. By the time Elwood Engel took over and brought the slab look to Chrysler it was honestly being implemented behind the curve. Rivera's reset the paradigm and by 65/66 look at the sculpted Pontiac and Chevy designs...it took Chrysler till 1969 to catch up. In 61 the slab side Lincoln's were ground breaking by 1965 slab side box design was already feeling old. By definition I think the 67 Monaco is a beautiful slab design but in styling design context is was outdated. Net unless you have a special place in your heart for these cars they are not considered in demand collectibles...like a 67 Pontiac Bonneville or even better a 67 Buick Custom Sport Wagon. All that said by not being in demand they are really hard to find and most were driven hard to death or met the demolition derby fate cause these mid 60s Mopar's were considered the very best!

The asking price on that car is way too high. Anyone remember the white 66 Fury wagon from perhaps 5-8 years ago, 440/4-speed, that kinda took forever to sell on ebay? Got flipped a few times unsuccessfully also IIRC. I don't remember what it sold for but way less that 15k. That Fury was non-running, but IMHO the 440, even in a plain white car, trumps the 383-2 even in the Dodge's better colors and woodgrain. And the woodgrain may not be a selling feature/value adder for everyone.

This car has way too much rust in the rear also, its above the creases, not a simple lower-quarter patch job.
