This car looks very familiar and may have been posted here previously. Seller is incapable of providing decent under hood pics.

Looks real nice...but being from Onterrible I'd want serious pics of the prone to rust areas before considering it.
 
@Fratzog -- you are correct. This is FP43L0D282681 -- discussed here (Sept. 2021, when the ask was CAD 6.5k) and here (April 2022, when the price had been jacked up to CAD 11k). The asking price remains CAD 11k...
 
Every time I see this car I like it. Except the unrealisitic price, and the rotten subframe, which begs hte question of what else is rotten underneath.
And every time I see it, I see more flaws.
Beneath the back window looks a little crumbly in some spots, and that 3rd brakelite is gawdy.
Hood paint doesn't match the fenders, and there are holes in the grille surround from what likely were foglights.

Price needs to drop and needs disclosure on the structural rust-thru.

notice that being a Canadian market Monaco it has Sport Fury Brougham seats - in vinyl, not leather like the seller is claiming

One of my big regrets is pulling the 440 out of a nice 70 or 71 Monaco Coupe that was loaded . Think it even had a console shift . Urgh…. The things we do in our 20s…
 
Don't be too hard on yourself because back then our cars were universally considered disposable. Even now our land yachts have a hard time getting any respect and sadly many in the hobby still view our cars as donors. It would only be a problem now if you didn't have such regrets.
 
Well I also parted out a 69 Charger R/T SE loaded car . B7 exterior .
Still have the rear shoulder belts .
Ever see a set of those ? They now reside in my 69 340 4 sp Swinger .
Kept the fender tag too …
 
That is a very pretty car. Love the color. Too expensive but maybe in time the seller will lower the price. He needs to provide some underside photos.
