Wow.....
I saw that car too when I was looking. Good color, but it's an 880, and I didn't want an 880. Seems to me that it was pretty far away too. Do you recall what their asking price was?
Good luck on finding the trim, I've been looking for a couple of years for a quarter molding.

I'm guessing that's the reason it was removed in the first place.

It was in California, Asking was around 11.5K OBO. I was attempting to make a good offer but never got the chance, no response from seller. I was ready to fly out and drive it back to Bama.

I think if that came up, I would have to buy it.

It's been a few years ago now. It was priced high for the time but I thought it would be worth pursuing.

Sorry let me correct my statement, 1205 Polara verts, 2161 300's in 68, still a very low number for any survivors especially knowing the insurance cost back then for 'verts vs anything else

My 65 is a Polara 440 wagon from Victoria BC. Was a factory 383 4 bbl dual exhaust car and kinda wish I left it stock but it now has a stroked 440 with aluminum heads, six pack, TTI headers and 3" exhaust. It will be on the road this spring .I also have several 65 parts cars:

65 Polara 880 4dr 225 at
65 US Custom 880 hardtop
They are all done like dinner but still have plenty of good parts.
I've parted probably another 15 or 20 65's,one Canadian Polara 880 convertible and several other Monaco's.
I grew up in Markham Ontario...on our one short 25 house street there were 4 or 5 65's new. My dad had a 65 Polara 440 4 door 225 auto that I used to beat on...it even appeared in a Sunoco Commercial .Dad worked for an advertising company producing TV commercials and had the Sunoco account...he had some great stories of Mark Donahue ; one of him outrunning the RCMP in a 401 powered AMC when Mark was up here doing some commercials.
I've kept track of maybe 50 or so Canadian 65's...ones I've scrapped and other ones I've lusted after. Canuk cars have very different fender tags as well as the obvious Plymouth interiors and different trim combinations. These pics are a couple years old now...the wagon is coming together. I saved every piece of NOS 65 stuff that came in all the job lots ...most of the potmetal is new .
