Wanna buy Marcus Monk’s car?
Does this car look familiar to you? If so, it’s probably because you’re used to seeing it drive around town with UA football/basketball star Marcus Monk behind the wheel.
For anyone who just can’t live without this little piece of Razorback pride, today’s your lucky day because Marcus is selling it on eBay.
Custom Razorback paint
The candy red 2001 Grand Marquis GS is currently in Monk’s home town of Lepanto, Arkansas and the current bid is $13,700. There’s a Buy It Now price of $30,000 and the auction ends in 3 days. In other words, if you wanna chillax with Marcus Monk in his car at his house, you better hurry up and buy this thing.
From the eBay listing:
“The visual impact of the car is that of distinction, a 1 of 1. None before it and none to come. Flashy and spacious. You will be the only person on the road riding like this, so Bid With Confidence!!!!!!!!!!!!”
It’s got low mileage, 26 inch rims, a 3,000 watt amp and a custom Razorback paint job on both sides. Need more info? Just want to converse with Marcus Monk? E-mail him at mmonk8585(at)hotmail(dot)com.
After going pro in the NFL and getting waived by both the Bears and the Giants, Monk briefly came back to Fayetteville to help Courtney Fortson and Co. beat the snot out of Oklahoma and Texas in the basketball pre-conference season. He was cut from the team after eligibility issues arose but word on the street is that he’s back out seeking a new pro football team.
Awesome? Yes.

How does the uniqueness of the car let me bid with confidence? Or does it mean “better make sure you really want it”

Did Mr. Monk have this car while attending U of A? If so, I wonder how he could afford such fine wheels.

I witnessed him driving down College Avenue from about 300 ft. away one fateful night last year. I heard his stereo clear as a bell. Except, a bell that rings a blast of the dirtiest most bass-heavy rap anyone can imagine. If I was independently wealthy (like Ray Smuckles, or Meredith Baxter-Birney) I would own this car yesterday.

Wonder what the gas mileage is for a beast like that? And if that Razorback is officially licensed by the NCAA and the UA?

When you’re a highly-paid Razorback, none of that matters.
Not that they’re paid. Oh no.

I would possibly consider it if it had some whistle tips on it that make it go WOOOOOOOOOO-WOOOOOOOOOOOO! Just ask Bubb-Rubb and Lil Sis:

Wow. Markus Monk and DMac had very similar cars.

@Franks. You really know something or you just running your mouth?

Both.
