Woodgrain decals were unique to the Monaco and are irreplaceable. Don't think I've ever seen one in this condition.

 

It really is stunning.

 

'Lazywally' has a good eye.......

 

Rare treat to see such a Wagon. I'm not sure I ever saw one of these before, ever. (Well, this one's about 20 years older than I am.)

 

I never seen one like that either, pretty cool body lines.

 

This would have been a wagon from my 1970s childhood and, as I recall, these Mopars were very rare even then. The GM and Ford (especially, every other kid's mom seemed to have a Country Squire) full size wagons dominated at the time.

 

I like everything but the colors on this one, it is a looker, only remember seeing a couple of them in person. Any Chrysler product other than Darts and Police cars started being a rare sight about the time this one was built.

 

My godfather was a New Yorker aficionado He drove nothing else my whole life until his death in 1997. He had a 1978 like this except it was dark blue with a light blue vinyl top. I didn't know any other dedicated Mopar owners while growing up.

 

Bid up to $7950 - reserve appears to be met.

 

I just realized there is no luggage rack on this wagon. I wonder if that was normal on these models? It is gorgeous and I love it for its uniqueness. I would hate to have to clean that grillework during summer bug season though!

 

Car manufacturers did things different back then - EVERYTHING was optional.

These days, it seems EVERYTHING (or ALMOST everything) is standard. Heck, you can't even get a new little Ford Focus without power windows......

 

Just put a custom bug screen on it and you're good to go.

There's a cheap Ford with manual windows:



It doesn't have armrests.

 

SOLD tonight for $8400?

 

Well bought for a wagon this rare and condition.
