Its been a couple years since I have seen a 71 Monaco 2 door for sale, with a 440 no less. But New York is scary, and it is outside at least for the photos..........................
Two photos and wants $15K. Outside mirrors are not original nor are the wheels. And a bumble bee stripe around the rear?
The guy should have bought a Polara, not a Monaco given the add-ons.

Asking 15k ... it can,t be a rotten / bad car ( yeah i know , lot of crazy sellers ) so it is a interesting car for the new owner……...

I noticed all those things you mentioned immediately Steve. You beat me to it. Nice car nonetheless. Need more pictures to back up the price tag.

If you look closely the bumper seems to be rusting or has a spot without chrome above the headlights near the fender to hood gap. Passenger side. That stood out to me considering my Monaco is the same way....interior looks nice from the outside.
Good observation, Wyatt, suggesting it probably has been outside a long time in wet weather. I would take a paint coating thickness meter with me to check for bondo/rust repair in the past if I were interested in the car.
Only the 2nd 71 I've seen with a white interior.
Wyatt, remember my premonition, what, two weeks ago?

If the car saw significant time outside, those areas would be much worse.

I would think if you own it you can spell it....M-o-n-a-c-o....
I know my typing and auto correct can be the cause , but really???

Hmmm, could Dad be getting into a Monaco soon?
Well, back in 2012, Dave himself said he "needed" a (to me similar-looking) car:
1971 dodge monaco coupe - $1900
Of course, we're in 2012...
I had an interest until I found out it's been repainted and not in the original color.
Car is likely a PA car as it was bought from Carlisle 20 years go.
That's a high back bench , not buckets. Had a single exhaust, now a dual ...

Oh, it is obviously the less attractive Monaco, not a Polara so it already has strike 1.
Why would the chrome on a bumper wear away like that - any thoughts?
I always presumed water runoff . Year's of it.

Acid rain from coal-fired power plants is the main culprit here in the north east. Spending a lot of time near a chemical plant will do it too. We have a very large Rohm & Haas chemical plant just north of Philadelphia, and old cars from that area will often have no plating left on the bumpers. It will attack the chrome plated pot metal too.
He's referring to those specific spots
