I decided to start a new thread due to I did not want to be confused with or associated with the clown I purchased the car from. From Ebay ad: Up for sale is this Light Blue on Blue 1974 Dodge Monaco 4-door sedan, equipped with the 360cu V8 with Four barrel Carburator, 3-speed automatic transmission. The interior is really nice with Bench vinyl seats,no cracks in dash! It Runs fantastic! the vehicle was driven 12 hours from Los Angeles to its current Home. The tires have good tread but are a bit dry rotted. A/c Blows but not cold, may just need a recharge. Car was parked for several years in the bay area. The body is fairly straight, the two rear doors have dents. Due to the car being parked in the bay area it has developed some rust from the salt water. The rust issues are the left rear c-pillar,right rear door and trunk lid. I have provided pictures of the bad spots. The chrome trim could use a polish. please view pictures carefully, what you see is what you get! I have placed the car on a lift and the floors look solid with no rust, but it was really greasy under there, typical of older cars. More pictures available upon request. I want $3,500. for it, its what I paid for it. I asked a friend to list the car on Ebay! cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1974-Dodge-Monaco-Custom-Police-Patrol-Bluesmobile-V8-89K-miles-AZ-/140857096915?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item20cbbcbad3More pictures here too: bluesmobiles.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=owners&action=display&thread=882The Checker Cab Hubcaps where placed back on at the recommedation of my friend to make the car look "more complete" on da bay. I still don't like them. lol!

Wow, dig those vinyl seats. They look "cop" like. Good luck, Jenny! I would think someone will snag this beauty before the week is over.

he Monaco was picked up today by the Transport company, here are some shots of it being loaded. Awaiting its destiny! Ready! Lets do this! up we go! "Wow! that car is big enough to take up the whole trailer!"" Yes mam!" cars were slowing down to watch! Almost there! Loaded! This picture reminds me of lower wacker drive! It was a tight fit, check out that side clearance! Poor driver had to practically climb out the window to get out! I saved him his dignity by not taking his picture while doing that! I did giggle though. Nice and snuggly! Good Bye Ol'blue! Off to a good home it goes! I can't wait to see the build thread on it! Enjoy Bill and have fun!

^Upper row looks like morning traffic to my work. I have to "dodge" that kind of cars every day, those company leased car driving dickheads don't respect my '88 Civic at all.
