I called and texted on this one this morning, no answer yet. Of course it pops up the week I've slacked doing my national craigslist searches. The 440 thing is intriguing, could it be a police package car?  ?? I'm going to try for this one, my daughter is such a Blues Brothers fanatic she would die if I got/built a Bluesmobile. |

Of course it pops up the week I've slacked doing my national craigslist searches. It was sitting on craigslist for 6 days before I spotted it last night. There's always a slim chance it's a police package, more likely it's a tow package based on the civilian 440's we've seen in the past. Interesting dent that managed to crease the grille and header panel but doesn't seem to have hit the bumper? Hard to tell. Above the drivers side headlights looks a little mangled as well, I can't really tell if there's even any headlights left there. Fender trim is out of whack a bit. But yeah, 440 sedan, seems to have tan interior, would be a great Blumo project. Hopefully you hear back from the guy, get another build thread going.  |

If it's solid, and since it's far away I'd have to take the seller's word on that, and it runs good that's my main concerns. I would not go crazy on it, mostly remove the moldings and do a mask and spray, fix the header and any other larger dents and rust, fix any mechanicals like the gas tank.
But still nothing from the owner, it seems that '74 Monaco sellers are bad at getting back to potential buyers.

2 days of multiple calls and I got one "hello" tonight but his cell service was so bad the call was dropped, 2 emails and 2 text messages with no response, I don't think this guy wants to sell this car very badly. And to top it off he still hasn't set up his voicemail to receive messages. I am persistent and will keep trying, I have a shipper lined up and everything.

Any call back yet? I wish you luck! Hell I might try and call on it, just too see if I get a response lol
Don't hold your breath on the car being "solid". The '77 I checked out was supposed to be solid, here down south. Was just another rusty northern car that made its way down this here.
I can't stand these guys lately on craigslist, posting stuff for sale, then not answering the phone/emails.. Why post the shit if your not motivated to sell? Or when you do post something for sale, all you get is picture collectors, or people saying they will be here this weekend, yet never hear another ord from em.

Nothing yet, I call every 2 to 4 hours from around 10am- 9pm, feel like a stalker but I don't want to miss out on it. You'd think he'd get sick of seeing my number pop up and would answer just to get me to stop calling. Unless he works and lives where the is no reception or works an odd shift and will call back over the weekend. Or maybe he lost his phone, who knows.

Finally just got a hold of the guy and the car is gone, why the hell doesn't he take the ad down or answer his phone?
