NOT MINE

1970 Dodge Polara | eBay

At first glance I thought this was Dave's car, but the interior is the wrong color. Looks to have just turned 100K miles, seems pretty solid. Too bad the interior is black.

"THIS AUCTION IS FOR A BEAUTIFUL EXTREMELY RARE (ONLY 842 PRODUCED) AND COLLECTIBLE 1970 DODGE POLARA CONVERTIBLE ALL ORIGINAL CAR. COMES WITH A 383 2 BARREL CARBURATOR WHICH WAS OFFERED AS AN OPTION, 3 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND VERY FEW SURVIVORS ARE LEFT OUT THERE, THE POWER WHITE TOP, FACTORY ORIGINAL RADIO, MUSICAL HORN, AND ALL THE LIGHTS WORK AS THEY SHOULD ALONG WITH THE POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, DRIVES STRAIGHT, THE UNDERNEATH HAS BEEN UNDERCOATED AFTER ORIGINAL PURCHASE.

There'll be some chatter about this one as soon as the Dodge Boys spot it.

Looks to be quite promising. The sub frame looks super-clean, might even have some original paint still on it. Does look like the car was repainted, which would be expected for it's age. Not sure why someone felt the need to paint the fender tag black, maybe some left over paint from the valve covers?. Would like to see pics of the critical areas.

Black engine - Black Fender Tag? Appears the whole engine is painted black and is the shape of the valve cover correct for this year?

Also seating area is stitched, is that correct for vinyl? The car is missing the plastic seat belt anchor covers, that's not original.

Yes. Here is mine (same L2X9 TX9 interior with no A/C) on the first day that I got to drive it:

Sold for $7,978.00.

 

[BLIMP]

Hmmm...Dave and Wyatt are suspiciously absent from this thread. It would be pleasing to learn that either of them were the top bidder.

 

[polara71]

Sold for $7,978.00.

Wow, a week ago he was offered 8500 ...A lot of suspicion on this one with the retracted bids .
I would put money on the buyer of the green car was the highest bidder at one point on the Orange car. The day and the time the green car was sold the bid was retracted on this car.

I'm certain FCBO sold the green car ...
This car at first glance is a good solid car. Looking it over it has been repainted, look at the Dutchman. That is some poor body work right there.

Glad to see another one, disappointed it was rough.

The Dodge boys have wised up and chat amongst the ranks . We're tired of losing out to FCBO sandbaggers .

The Formal guys have "A circle of friends" when it comes to parts.

 

[polara71]

Yep, now who's gonna part with some roadwheels?

 

[71Polara383]

As much as I would have liked it. It wasn't a car I could make happen.

 

[polara71]

I would have helped for a small % Of course

Next time. We will do that when the must have car pops up.

That was it. You could have modified the Hell out of that car and no one would have known

Known, we all would have. Minded, though, that’s debatable. The roof was already redone incorrectly.

 

[polara71]

Point is, if he modified it who cares the body has already been messed with.
