74 Monaco 4-Dr Sedan, Blues Bros

I'll try to get some pics from him this weekend.

Hmmm ... there doesn't appear to be any e-mail contact for this seller. He has a phone number in the ad, which I will not include in a post here, just click the link in the above post and give him a call. If anyone gets a pic or two sent to them please post them here. Thanks. It sounds like another Monaco just waiting to become another great Bluesmobile!

[scatpack01]

dang I just left Cal with a half empty trailer. I could have hauled it back to the midwest.

[Steam McQueen]

The ad is gone, I've been checking for a re-list ... great price for a great car - I'd say this one has been sold. Maybe it will become a Bluesmobile.

[Steam McQueen]

I think the seller is a member here from a while back. Here's a Bluesmobile in waiting, folks!

Up for sale is a very restorable 74 Monaco 4-Dr sedan. This car is a civilian model and not a police package model.

Somebody has to grab this one!

[Steam McQueen]

Scatpack has ramps for his trailer now. http://www.bluesbrotherscentral.com/forum2/public/style_emoticons/default/icon_cool.gif

This car is in San Jose. I have a feeling I may have been thinking about a San Diego car earlier. This one has been in Southern Oregon for the past 8 years so it's a fair bet that we have never seen this car for sale before.



What a beauty!!

[Ghostbluesman]

Oooooh...that's a nice one...I hope someone here bids on, and wins it! http://www.bluesbrotherscentral.com/forum2/public/style_emoticons/default/icon_cool.gif

So it was on Craigslist last month without pics. It got marked as sold but here it is, back again to become a Bluesmobile.



Comes with extra stuff, too.

[TI4438]

Reserve not met,$200.

Last time I checked,the bids were up to $800.

I wonder what happened.

[scatpack01]

I can load a car from the front or back so that makes it even better. Saves on calling a rollback.

For some reason he cancelled the auction. It had just hit a grand with 4 days still to go.

Cancelled: US $1,000.00
Explanation: The seller ended the listing early and cancelled all bids.
Bid: Oct-15-09 06:14:55 PDT
Cancelled: Oct-16-09 18:10:04 PDT

Maybe someone made him an offer he couldn't refuse . ?

[Beefmalone]

that didn't take long

[Elwood72]

Maybe he also had it listed locally?

[Ghostbluesman]

Maybe he saw the Volo version, and thought he could make 50 grand on it, after conversion...

[Steam McQueen]

It hasn't resurfaced so marked as 'sold.' Is it on its way to Sweden, Germany ... or Huey's back yard? lol.

You are looking at a very hard to find 1974 Dodge Monaco. This one came from California, I had it shipped out here to Maryland late summer. It has its original 360 engine with 727 transmission. The engine was originally a 2 bbl, previous owner installed a factory 4 bbl intake manifold. The trans seems to shift okay, but leaks badly...seems to be coming from selector shaft seal. It had some electrical issues when I purchased it, but it is all straightened out now. Too many new parts too list. I am forced to liquidate due to leaving the area soon. I planned to build a nice Bluesmobile with a pro-touring theme....oh well. This car is very solid inside and out. Front windshield is new, Comes with a re-chromed rear bumper. No longer have the dogdish center caps, but comes with the wheels pictured. I have a lot of money and time in this car..so please bid to win. NO trades......must sell! E-mail for details...Steve. I have a clear title in my name. Must be towed, car runs, But I would not trust to drive it any distance. I will post some more pics tomm...these are the pics that were taken by the original owner, car still looks the same. I cannot figure out whey they are so small.

[76Bluesmobile]

Starting bid $4,500 - seems a little overpriced. Will definitely want to see better pics when he gets them posted.

I had to go back 4 pages to find it! :o It had been marked as sold.



It started life in this thread in California at $1,500.

[country bunker]

ya, and thats where it should have stayed! $4,500 is outrages!
