Hi Everyone,

I bought this 77 Royal Monaco in April. It has been in Georgia since new and the price was right. It has the 360 motor and is all original inside and out. The picture is from right after it was delivered to my house. Since then it's been cleaned, garaged, rebuilt the carb and replaced a dry rotted tire with a new white wall tire. My next task is to drop the gas tank and have it cleaned.

The story on the car is the original owners passed away and their granddaughter got the car as part of their estate. Her husband was going to junk it, but she told him to post it up for sale online because someone might want to buy it. Anyway, I'm glad I came to the rescue.

My parents had a new 77 Cadet Blue 2 door 440 Royal Monaco when I was a kid and I've always wanted one. I gave up searching for an exact match car once I found they were somewhat rare.

They had it on a trailer ready to haul away when I came across the ad for it. Since they already had it trailered I worked out a deal with them to deliver it to me for an extra cost. I had not seen the car in person, but could tell it was in decent shape, so I told them if they could get it to me they had a deal. Long story short, I paid $950 and that includes them delivering it to me. Not Bad! They were only a couple of hours away.

Welcome to the board, very nice score on the car. So the husbands first thought was to scrap car , the wife is the smart one in the family. Glad you were able to save the car.

B3 Cadet Blue Metallic.

Nice color. Cadet Blue Metallic was the color of my parents 77 Royal Monaco. I still have the original window sticker from that car.

Just another clueless dickhead. I know it was a rhetorical question but I couldn't resist. Nice to see another one saved.
