For all you high rollers: The King is auctioning off some stuff including "cars to be sold at the auction are a 1978 Chevrolet Monte Carlo he drove in 1979"

I think in 79 they were still using the 77 body style.

That does appear to be true. Maybe, they'll sell the 84

Yea the old bodies were used up to 80 81 was the change

His last one didn't fetch close to estimated price at Auction:
https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2017/07/17/the-kings-last-chrysler/ so I bet that Monte will sell within the ballpark of what Magnum did. I don't think he got any wins with the Magnum (which is why he switched over to GM).

Mopar guys are pretty nutty when it comes to what they'll pay *(Obviously the last of the B bodies being the exception). I bet the '74 will sell on the high end of the estimate. The Pontiac won't go for much as he didn't accumulate any wins in '92 so it has no real significant value.

When the Grand Prix comes up for sale that he got the 200th win in, it'll probably be the highest selling G-body of all time.
