NOT MINE – Not Mine 1972 Dodge Monaco Wagon – $1,000 – Owasso, Okla.
It sat for some years in a junkyard, and some pieces had been robbed from it.

Not mine…I’d consider this fairly priced at $750

Here’s a Chrysler that’s probably not too far gone for someone that’s wants to cobble back together and use as a “fair-weather, all-year-round” car, while your nice vehicle is hibernating….

Gasoline tax isn’t enough

It’s never enough, they want more $$!

Another example of how politics directly impacts my C body hobby

Power vent window motor

Was going to start a thread asking questions about these motors and if there are parts available. Because as you can see, one of the gears in the driver’s side motor from my 73 Imperial is chewed up.

But a quick forum search revealed this thread, which already addresses the issue.

So…

Power vent window motor

We didn’t use a live Christmas tree but…

…my neighbor left their’s by the curb!

BTW the roads were dry. I haven’t driven the Fury since the snow hit, this was a special trip.

Wagon bumper

Bought a 72/73 C body wagon bumper on Saturday from Garrett @58Desoto He bought out a shop and appears to have many of them left, if you need a bumper it would be wise to contact him!

Originally I was planning to put this on my white wagon, but this one doesn’t have the holes drilled for the optional steps. So I’ll prob toss this on my newly purchased green 6 pass wagon, and install it’s nice bumper (it has steps) onto the white one.

Anyway, I know how everyone likes…

Your beat-up dog dish hubcaps

Anyone out there have dog dish hubcaps laying around that they won’t use, because they’re too damaged for your application?

I’ve lost two of these caps this year on my beater Fury, mainly because of the horrible condition of our Illinois highways.

I’m looking to find a couple poor examples [read:cheap] that won’t upset me to lose…thanks guys.
