BTW, I'm really surprised that the Monaco lasted this long, they were quite the odd conglomeration of parts. I worked on a few in my former life as a mechanic, didn't like them a whole lot.
Yeah. They were quite the kludge. I actually worked as a mechanic at an Eagle dealership back in my former life as well. Had to work on the 1 or 2 Premiers they managed to sell.
I've just been using it as a work car. I put a lot of miles on it when I lived in Omaha and was sent to work in Lincoln every day. I have no idea how many, because the speedo/odometer stopped working long ago. Now the paint's falling off, the pistons rattle when cold, it won't hold oil pressure at idle when it is hot, front suspension and CV joints are worn, etc, etc. Most recently, it intermittently refuses to stay running, and I refuse to put a single dime into it.
I easily doubled its value each time I filled the fuel tank the past couple of years.
Oh, and as far as the Fremont show, I don't know if I'm going or not yet. If you want to ask him if he's interested, feel free.
