Well I finally found where everyone went! I lost touch when the BBC board went down. I am still searching for a Bluesmobile. I am one step closer as I have sold a couple other "toys" and I now have space and some working capital. I almost got SCMODS 74 that was on eBay but lost out at the last second. Oh well, keep looking, but that was the best I have seen in a while.

Spanks, good to see you! I remember chatting with you about axle ratios on BBC, and it's good that the site is back up so I can refresh my memory: www.bluesbrotherscentral.com/forum/topic/9896-monaco-rear-end-gear-ratios/page__fromsearch__1Welcome, and I hope you find your bluesmobile-to-be Monaco soon so you can start your build in earnest. Steam does a good job keeping the "for sale" section updated, but right now he posted that is computer was having issues and he'd be off-line for a few days. your friend in welcoming friends to friendly boards, arthur

Thanks Arthur,
I am going to keep looking.
My goal is a solid car that is basically "film correct" to the casual observer, but I want a super reliable roadworthy drive train and suspension. Probably stick with mostly stock type components but restored to like new. One of my last thoughts was to build a stout 440, keep it carberated, a fresh torqueflight with a gear vendors OD turning some low (lower) rear end gears. Then freshen the brakes and suspension with new / aftermarket replacement parts. Basically crapy looking car with a restored drivetrain.

Hey spanks! Good to see you. Best of luck to you on your Bluesmobile finding mission. Just keep checking in when ya can, it's been a slow year for Monaco's but at least they do indeed keep showing up.
