1969 Polara 500 Convertible

[polara71]

They are killing me with this car. Look at is, really? Five grand, its a rusted wreck. How long did it sit there rotting into the ground while they said I am gonna fix it up some day then decided its too far gone so now they'll sell it?

Bastards .......

It's a pity...that's for sure. All the 500 trim is mangled/ gone bumpers dented, grille...warped?...not even much left in parts.

That is a shame, looks like it was pretty well loaded and a good color combo. Was that one in your registry yet?

Thats a 69 Matt, I never bothered keeping track of the 69's. I keep a bunch of photos of most Polaras I locate but I gotta draw the line somewhere.

Says its a 440HP, it is an orange BB with HP manifolds.

i talked on the phone w/him awhile ago, he read the codes off the tag but i can't remem what i did with them.

they have a garage on the property......no idea what is in it but this car is prob a parts car now

They are on drugs asking that price. The 440 and Superlite setup are probalby worth something. Sad about the Superlite grill.

btw, it appears to be a NC car from the sticker on the back bumper.........Gastonia Dodge (gastonia, NC, just west of Charlotte) and the trunk flr looks pretty good from what I see.........it's the pass compartment floors that concern me. I still have the pics he forwarded but not the tag info......i must have pitched it. has a pwr seat, pw, disc brakes, am/fm radio, ac, bump guards, 440, superlite, buckets/buddy seat, clock, cornering lights. pushing 5 lines there w/o knowing anything else.

that car was a hell of a lot nicer when it was parked there. someone needs to show up with a trailer, winch and $1500

anyone know what the 6th switch on the left of the inst panel is? there is the usual 4, plus the conv top, plus the superlite on the top row, but what is the one on the bottom row, third from the left?

so your registry is just for the '70s and there were no '71 verts?

Emergency flasher switch. This is the hardtop dash. The upper right switch is the rear defogger.

I guess i could look a my own car tomorrow since I am again the proud owner of a polara rag

EDIT: nevermind, i just did...,,its on the column

I like it, it doesn't scare me, but for $5000 he could atleast include his Meth lab.
