    He's trying to sell it as a "Bluesmobile" project as though the world is teeming with Blue Brother fans. Yeah, there may be a few of those hardcore enough to want to build a Bluesmobile, but that was a sedan, not a wagon, and it would be far easier to just find a sedan version of one of these and start with that.

    His BIN price is $1600. Good luck with that. As I write this, he has four bids, and it's up to a whopping $305. Which is about right. He should take a hint.

    Cracked windshield, rusted wheel arches, no engine or transmission and a dented tailgate to name a few things about it. I can't say I've ever seen a 74 Monaco Wagon for sale before, though (not like I'm actively looking for one.)

    All day long. Who needs glass or drive line. it would be getting an SBC for the derby anyway. Saves hauling away an old 440 boat anchor!

    Not sold for $405. Seller is nuts. That thing may not even be derby worthy.

    I had to think on this one all day, but just too much $$ even before shipping. But a awesome car once she is fixed up, hope it don't get scraped! I am hoping to find a 74 but hopefully closer to Minnesota.

    I know I'm late to the party on this one, but this is hilarious! I guess the world is full of dreamers. The owner of this car certainly is.

    Yes, extremely rare car but it will take a few grand to get that running. Hope someone fixes her up, I would in a heartbeat. But it's half way across the country for me to get.
