Hey all
I need a replacement for my stolen Bluesmobile I am currently borrowing one at the moment but want my own one.
I am looking for someone who could build one for me if I found a Monaco and then get it all sprayed up looking great and then ship it when ready? Course I will fund the project.
Just wondered as this would be easier than getting a non Bluesmobile and having to ship parts over etc and to let you know am serious am willing to sell my fantastic Knight Rider car with brand new engine and full sound system for a Blues car as I just love it.
Anyway many thanks for looking.
Ant

What are your requirements? There are obviously a number of paths to take when building a blumo. Do you just want the car built as a nice tribute car or are you looking for a replica. 74 Sedan no vent window car? Or are you willing to settle for a hardtop? Do you want a 440? Suspension and brakes all gone through or good enough to drive? Tan interior?
Buying a completed car will be cheaper and easier than building one in the long run. There are a few of us on here with the ability to build a car for you but the devil is in the details.

Id be willing to build you a car. We would just need to sit down and discuss the details of how you wanted everything and of course budget. Me personally, I would only recommend building a sedan. To the causal observer a hardtop and sedan look alike but anyone with an eye for the movie will pick it out. Actually there was a pic floating around of a Fury sedan with a Monaco header, headlight buckets and grille floating around. Add a 74 Monaco bumper and To me that looked more accurate than a hardtop Monaco.
If we could find a decent car to start with, I'd overhaul the front suspension, do brakes all around, clean up and tune the engine, put exhaust on it, do the body and paint work, stencils, push bars and spotlight. Really the real wild card is the interior, but it all starts with buying the right car.

Mnnnn yeah looks good Thinking about it but allot of work needed on it am guessing, new engine bits may be, breaks, wheels, respray. Not sure about the 2500 price though but could look into it. Thanks for looking out for me, I am so excited for this project.

Where has this come from? That's ole Mona, its the car I started with and used to build my car. Unfortunately its too far gone. Too much rust to be usable but has a few decent parts left. That $2500 car has a lot more to offer.
