Is this the same vehicle discussed on here back in a Sep 2019 thread currently titled, "SOLD - 1977 Royal Monaco 74 sheetmetal Bluesmobile NC".

^ You are absolutely correct, good eye. Looking at the pics in the original thread we see the car has driven 175 miles in 3 years ! That is actually not accurate and is explained in the ad text, apparently the speedo did not work upon purchase 3 years ago and the car has been driven about 500 miles in the last 3 years.

I just noticed there's only minutes left in the auction, what timing !

$18,200 with 3 min 25 sec to go ...
$18,200 with 2 min 25 sec to go. That's after 9 bids.

1 minute to go ...

There was a 10th bid ?

Ok, the $18,200 was the 10th bid and the car is sold !

The seller said the car is heading for Japan. I think it is the second one in a row that sold on eBay to end up shipping to Japan.
