I do not, that picture is a little over year old I think maybe more. Always selling ot trading or running cars so it's always changing. No Monaco's, or gran furys unfortunately. hard to find I would love to find a royal Monaco wagon as a driver

your right, it's not a c-body, that's why it's a better race car project.

nope. a year in storage will add $1200 to the price. not worth it if people are already thumbing their nose at it.

yes but the so called mopar guy didn't know it . i think he may be a gm guy @ heart & i don't think we should be talking about derbying ANY MOPAR thus sight is to save them & NOT CRASH THEM!

Bad news. I had a real look at the car today and found that there was a rust spot almost two WHOLE inches long. Totally no longer feasible to restore this car. Decided to start selling it in parts starting the 17th. Also, looks like there were HP manifolds on it, so it looks to be a performance 440. Dang, too bad it’s too far gone for a restoration.

I like your style, no one says every car has be cookie cutter built. Buy them and build them the way you want. That's what gives these cars personality.

And these seats would look good in a ratrod, right? They fold back and fourth, great for naps when I get tired on long trips.
