    I wish I had the bread too. South Dakota is just far enough away to make a nice end of summer road trip from/to Portland.

    Decent price, very nice looking wagon. Would love to see the rebuilt motor though.

    That car, close to me and with A/C, would get me to give up my Caprice wagon in a heartbeat. Looks like the original color was the same light turquoise as the 68 Polara I learned to drive in, and the 8 track player he calls original looks like an underdash Pioneer SuperTuner!

    It doesn't have air, and we should hopefully be getting some engine pics posted. It does look like the drivers seat back upholstery doesn't match the rest of the seat backs.

    Always a treat to find a decent pre 73 wagon.
    I like it and its price.

    Was wondering if it was a 4bbl version and factory tow package car. My 68 Monaco was. It had a 383 Hi-po 4 core factory radiator and dual snorkel air cleaner.

    This must be a 2bbl? Which Kills it. The new outside paint is nice but with the green interior destroys it value wise.

    No way it's a 20,000 ORIGINAL mile car. As No 383 needed rebuilt that soon

    I don't know how having a two barrel carb kills it that 383 has ran for 20,000 miles after complete overhaul from dodge dealer. I hope that clears up any questions you may have.

    The pics of detailed motor compartment and gorgeous luggage rack were posted this morning. seat backs match an almost perfect interior with no tears or rips. The only thing that I was discontent about was the dark off green don't match the blue paint very well.

    I did not pick the color scheme and yes it has a pristine exterior and stock well surviving interior. My accountant tells me i have quoted the selling price at $3,000 less than what I paid for it. If a buyer wouldn't mind having the seats color changed they would have a new car inside and out. To reply to your nasty inuendo yes REALLY. If you can't find anything good to say about a mans car you should just keep it to yourself Really.
