UP FOR AUCTION IS A 1977 DODGE MONACO, CHP SPEC 440 POLICE PACKAGE.I'AM LISTING THIS CAR FOR A FRIEND. THIS CAR IS A MATCHING NUMBER CAR, AND IS VERY RARE AND HARD TO FIND. THEY ONLY MADE 1,426 IN THAT YEAR FOR THE CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL AT A PRICE OF $4,948 PER VEHICLE. THE CAR SERVED IN THE FRESNO CALIFORNIA AREA. IT WAS ORIGINALLY PLACED IN SERVICE ON 6/22/1977. THE PLATE NUMBER WAS E849143. THE PAINT WAS ORIGINALLY BLACK AND WHITE AND AT ABOUT 63,000 MILES, IT WAS PAINTED A METALLIC BROWN BY THE PATROL AND USED FOR UNDERCOVER WORK. ON 7/10/1979 WITH 75,460 MILES ON IT IT WAS SOLD AT A AUCTION. AND IT WAS BOUGHT BY A CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROLMAN AND THEN LATER HE SOLD THE CAR TO A COLLECTOR. THEN IN 1987 THE CAR WAS SOLD AGAIN. HE HAD KEPT THE CAR UNTIL MY FRIEND BOUGHT THE CAR IN DECEMBER,2010 HE HAD PLANS TO MAKE A ROSCO COP CAR TO GO WITH HIS GENERAL LEE. THINGS HAVE CHANGED AND HE HAS LOST INTEREST IN IT. I WENT AND PICKED THE CAR UP AND DROVE IT TO MY HOUSE, THIS CAR STILL RUNS STRONG AND HANDLES VERY NICE. THE ONLY THING THAT I SEEN IS IT HAS A LITTLE EXHAUST LEAK AROUND THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. I HAVE BEEN UNDERNEATH THIS CAR FROM BUMPER TO BUMPER IT IT VERY SOLID AND CAN NOT FIND NO RUST.I WOULD CONSIDER IT TO BE ABOUT 98% RUST FREE. THE 2% MAY BE SOMETHING I OVER LOOKED, OR JUST COULD NOT SEE. I KNOW IT'S PROBABLY NOT 100% . BECAUSE IT IS 34 YEARS OLD. IT ALSO HAS NEW TIRES AND I SEE NO PROBLEM WITH DRIVING IT HOME. THE STORY BEHIND THE INTERIOR BEING BLUE AND THE ORIGINAL TAN , ONE OF THE PREVIOUS OWNERS HAD DECIDED TO PUT THE BLUE INTERIOR IN THE CAR AND NEVER FINISHED. BUT THE SEATS ARE THE ORIGINAL ONES THEY JUST HAVE BEEN RECOVERED. NOTICE THE RED REFLECTOR ON THE DRIVERS DOOR, THAT IS ORIGINAL FOR OPENING THE DOOR IN TRAFFIC. IT ALSO HAS 3 FENDER TAGS 1 TAG SAYS SPECIAL HANDLING CAR, THE OTHER 2 IS IDENTIFICATION TAGS. THE CAR ALSO HAS A CRACKED WINDSHIELD, IT STARTS AT THE TOP LEFT CORNER AND COMES DOWN. HERE IS A BREAK DOWN OF THE CODES I DO KNOW.
