Aside from the tail pipes being misrouted it is a very nice vert. I wonder what the reserve is.

Is it my eyes or phone, but the paint looks pretty orange peeled?
Otherwise a very nice convertible.

 

[JC68vert300]

Very well optioned Polara vert.

I will be going to that auction as it's 15 minutes from my house. I will search it out and post more pictures if anyone is interested.

Maybe a survivor?

Very nice, I like the blue on blue combo. The 440/ac/pw/pb/super-lite are all super bonuses. Interesting it has the '70 "wooden" shift knob.

Maybe a survivor?

Could be. Good point, I never considered that, thanks!

I highly doubt it's a 440 Magnum car. Couldn't see the VIN on that link.

I need to respectfully ask why?

I think it,s repainted…….
Normally you see black overspray between the rearlights when you open the trunk...
And no pinstripe on a high option car like this……….
looks like B9 blue.

 

[Welder guy]

This car has Cruise control too.

Yeah, why is there no VIN picture? I'm curious to see it

Not much in the Plymouth or Chrysler division (again) in this auction but there's this 4 speed ooops 5-Speed wagon.

I need to respectfully ask why?

Because, in my experience, even highly optioned C bodies did not get the 375 horse engine.

Because, in my experience, even highly optioned C bodies did not get the 375 horse engine.

I've seen several 69 Polara / Monaco / Furys with the HP option. This wouldn't surprise me if it did. Rather it would surprise me if it didn't with all the other options it does have.

440 Dodge and Plymouth C body numbers seem to have dropped considerably for 70 and 71.

Hopefully we will find out soon enough...

I think what lies in question is it the original dual snorkel? Original engine? Who knows.?
I'd wager it is a HP but Mr C has good ground to question the claim .
