Love the 70 (or is it 71?)

This week i first saw a 67 Polara moredoor in front of a house on my way to work that i think is for sale. No sign on it...yet. I've seen many older cars come and go from this place. I'd like to stop and look at it but i better keep right on driving. No extra money and i'm not sure how available parts are for those C body cars, unlike the A, B and E body cars. I love the tailights on the 67 Polara.

Both those cars for sale could be great starting points for Police car tributes.

I'm going phone and ask out of curiousity what engine the '71 has.
I know the '68 has a 318.

It's so dark green in colour, it looks black.

Yes!  Please do.  The '71 rocks.

 

Speaking of C-body 4-doors, how about a little California dreamin'?

Looks mint for $2250.  The only problem is getting it shipped up north!

If youd like the idea of owning a car from the 60s in all around top condition, but are put off by the stupid prices many people are asking for old cars these days, I have something of possible interest to you:

My 1968 Dodge Polara is essentially a 2-owner car. It is all original with 109 thousand miles. Engine is 318 V8, with a 4-speed automatic transmission, power steering & brakes. Original radio. No air conditioning. The interior is gorgeous. The body & paint are very nice. This car runs & drives like a dream; & the gas mileage appears to be pretty remarkable, too.

Again, if youd like a very nice older car that essentially needs nothing of any major sort, I think youd have a very hard time finding a better deal for the money. There are several minor issues that need attention, but they are indeed minor. The car is now ready to go anywhere. Price: $2250.00

Wow, just over 2 grand for that 68! Makes me wish i had the cash to go after the 67 i mentioned. I haven't looked at it yet. Looks good just passing by it, i better stay away though, in case it is a solid car. I know it's a big ol' Mope but i'd consider letting the T/A go for a chance at it if indeed it was a gem. On the other hand it could be a rust bucket that looks good from 6 feet away with all kind of hidden problems.

Todd, awesome car, you got a great deal on that!

Curiousity got the better of me today. I stopped and took a look at the Polara. The owner wasn't home, his wife just came out for a minute. I asked if the car was for sale and said probably if her husband got the right offer. He picked this car up last week. I don't know what engine is in it. Not sure when they started with 318's, maybe it's a 383. No rust on the car from what i can see. Has had some paint touch ups notably on the driver side front door. This is a four door car. Bumpers will need to be rechromed. Didn't look under the hood. Interior looks good. Car shows under 10k on odometer, i'm guessing at least once around. Not sure how long this car has been sitting. Underneath is hard to tell how good it is because of the oil. The car is absolutely coated so i'm thinking it may be very good underneath. I couldn't see any rot. Bottom of the doors and around fenders all look good. No rot around pillars or around front or rear glass. All the trim is on the car. This guy just bought the car within the last month. I think he buys and sells a lot. Maybe i'll stop another day and try to talk to the guy just to get info. If i was seriously interested in this car i'd want to have someone look with me. Oh, and i'd have to sell the Trans Am. This car looks really good but i don't think it will be coming home with me unfortunately.
