I spotted this car recently and had to have it! I had never heard of a "grand" Monarch before this one. I did some research and apparently it is the predecessor to the Lincoln Versailles. This one came from the factory with the 351 Windsor motor and cool-as-all-get-out two tone leather seats! Which are in amazingly good condition. The poor girl sat for a few years and did not fair too well under a tarp. So the hood needs to be repainted and the top is in, eh condition. If you want a quality piece, one might replace the top. It does run and drive and stop. Needs a tune up and probably the carb to be cleaned out. Maybe it would be a good idea to clean the fuel tank too. Or it may just burn the old gas out eventually. this car sat for a long time, runs and drives but not super well! Definitely needs a tune up at a minimum. The interior is in very nice shape and could just use some good cleaning. I wish I knew more about this car but I just don't. I purchased it for a friend to fix up and make a cool driver. I did not drive it and trusted the guy that it ran and drove fine. It would appear the transmission need some attention. Its the C4 and I have never heard of one going bad, but it does not shift automatically through the gears. It will drive in first, then I can shift it manually to second and that's it. The motor is very strong and I do think this was an old ladies car that sat under a tarp for a little too long. Has the 9 inch rear end and 4 wheel disc brakes of course though. Neat car that I would keep if it weren't for having so many projects! Thanks, Keith 5037899274
