1972 Dodge Polara

[360Magnum]

Thought I would post some pics. Got my Polara Fri nite. Was a long week waiting on it to get here.

 

[360Magnum]

And no I do not like the wheels and they are going asap!! They are what was on it. Here are some pics from the day.

Few more

The body is solid except for the lower quarters and there not even that bad. The car has a 360 and appears stock except for dual exhaust. Frame is nice etc...

I did get these 4 wheels with the car. Three of them are complete like the one shown and the one is missing the center section piece. Have the ring for it. Are these correct wheels for this era Polara?

 

[360Magnum]

I will get better pics tomorrow. Is missing the headliner and carpet. And I got to get some tires for these rims and get rid of these ugly 20 inch rims. Down the road I may go with a Police style rim etc.. with dog dish's. But these will do if they work. Car has no air from the factory, 8.25 rear. Disk brakes in the front. My plans are to make a fun cruiser out of it etc... No Superbird wings, stripes or 20 inch rims etc... The 360 does run but have some work to do, clean the tank, new radiator etc... By summer I will put a 360-5.9 Mag in it etc... First thing will b 2 get it running and then start on the interior. Yes its 4-door but im not making into a clone. Just gonna make a cruiser for me.

 

[360Magnum]

Please let me know about the tires. Also am I missing the bows for the headliner???

 

[360Magnum]

And I want to clean it! Its filthy. But for $700 im not complaining.

 

[360Magnum]

Few more pics. These are from right before I got it.

The road wheels you have are correct for the car and will look much better.

 

[Davea Lux]

If you can find the build sheet, the code for the wheels is printed there. They would appear correct if the car came with that type wheel. Looks to be a decent find at a very reasonable price.

Congrats to you. Nice find!

 

[saforwardlook]

The road wheels are correct for the period but the center caps are for a later version of road wheels generally used in 1974 and later production cars. The correct ones would have ribs on them and stick up a little higher than those from the later model years that you are showing.

Enjoy the ride!

Congratulations, car seems to be very solid. Those wheels were available but I doubt they're original as your car is a base model. Bottom line it's your car install what you like. It does appear that you're missing the headliner bows from what I can see, there should be metal tack strips around the rear window as well. Enjoy.

Thanks everyone for the help and suggestions. I gotta find a set of tires for the rims and on the car they will be going. Then I will put the 20's on Craigslist or whatever..... This is my first C-body. Had a 68 Sport Satellite, 69 Super Bee and a 72 Rallye Challenger and a few Dodge trucks. But when my Dad passed away, I lost total interest in them. I was born in 79 and what got me into Mopars was his 78 Cordoba. He also had a 69 Bee and 71 Newport all bought new. Only one I got 2 c was the Doba. I will get some better pics at somepoint today. Gonna clean the trunk out etc....

 

[Polaraco]

@cbarge That look familiar?

 

[Polaraco]

I have a set of NOS door edge guards and a bunch of really nice wheel opening moldings for that. The pic above is a Polara with a Monaco rear bumper. That was the first C with a complete computer driven Magnum and 518 ever done. It's still around under new ownership

 

[Fratzog]

$700? You stole it. Nice score.

 

[71Polara383]

I have a nice green headliner from a 71. Nice car.

 

[ImpJay]

That looks like a nice pickle for a restoration project.
