of two C body Mopars which don't turn up that often. Collector Car Market doesn't cover the big national auctions, like Barrett-Jackson, as those car tend to be mega buck restorations and over the top cars. They are not representative of the average market and what more basic cars bring. They also note that many look at the big auctions and automatically think that is what their cars are worth and their reports show that to be far from reality.
So here is a auction conducted in Portland called the Silver Auction. They report on two C bodies that showed up.
The first is a 1969 Dodge Polara 500 convertible withe the 383ci/330hp engine which is one of 573 built. Called the nicest unrestored original car that was parked in a garage from 1979-2009 by the original owner. Then a new owner got the car back into driving condition and was driven down from Seattle. Was bid to $13,500 and didn't sell. The seasoned observer who made the report said it probably should have at that price.
Second, was a 1971 Plymouth Gran Coupe with 360 engine and 82,300 miles. Had, Auto, A/C, PWS, PDB, AM radio, vinyl split back bench seat with arm rest. Color was brown with the paisley pattern vinyl top which is kind of boring but typical of those years. The car sold at $4,200. Observer called it a time machine.
