Some of you may know me from the "C" body site also. This is my car and it is also listed over there. Location is New Jersey. I am copying and pasting from that site. PM me with any questions. Thanks.
Yes, this is my car.
I have been going back and forth for at least a year on whether to put it up for sale or not. I'll try to keep things short.....I am for the most part an optimist. When I purchased this car I had every intention of working to a restoration. I am one who does not care what it is worth when done, it is the rarity more so than anything. However, that lovely thing called reality happens to be hanging around. At this time in my life I do not financially see me being able to do much with the car. The bug is to sell it, however I may change my mind at any time and hold on to it, like I said this has been a struggle to come to a decision.
As for the car itself, it will need a total restoration. It will not be for the faint of heart as it will be time and money consuming. I am also including all parts that I have accumulated in the sale. I will not sell without the parts and not selling parts alone. I have all factory sheet metal needed except for the driver side rear quarter. That includes the hood(one on there is for a Polara and has bondo),both doors,cowl piece by the wipers,passenger fender,2 driver fenders(1 NOS),full passenger quarter panel from the door striker to tail light housing including inner wheel house. Sheet metal is from California. Replace the panels or cut factory patches, up to the restorer. I also have a host of NOS pieces....headlight bezels,rear taillight assemblies,trunk finish panel(minus the red plastic inserts-nice used ones),gas cap,rear back-up lights for a 4-speed,fender emblems, and other stuff I can't remember right now. Bins and boxes full of parts. The engine and tranny are original,I have the factory chrome air cleaner and base,have a date coded correct Carter carb for a 426 4 speed. Have data plate, no build sheet. I do however have a copy of the factory build tag from Chrysler Historical to prove it is the real deal.
Ok, here comes the fun part, the price. I already expect a bunch of rude and not so nice comments on this part. There will be some who are going to say "he does not want to sell it". Show up at my door with the asking price and the title will be signed over to you. I want to sell it for MY price, not what someone thinks they can get it for. If it does not sell that is not a bad thing either. This is an extremely rare "C" body. I have not been able to find proof of another that is still around(does not mean that there are)but if you google it, my car is the only one that shows up. If you have PROOF of another, I would please ask that you forward me the info. This could possibly be the last 426 4 speed '65 Monaco left in existence. It deserves a proper resto, something I can't do at this time. My asking price is $20,000 with all parts included(small box truck or very large van needed)and I am not and will not accept offers. Don't waste my time and I won't waste yours. I highly recommend you check the car out in person if at all interested. It is not road worthy but does and can move under its' own power so loading is not an issue. Please feel free to PM me with any questions.
