NOT MINE 1969 Dodge Polara 500 Convertible - eBay Auction - Hornell, New York

[tallhair]

I recently sold a 69 Polara 500 convertible in B7 blue with a black bucket seat interior fully loaded with options including a 440 HP engine to a friend in Arizona. The color combination on that car was fine to me but I would have preferred a white interior instead of black. To each his own.

I usually prefer white interiors if the paint works with it. B7 definitely works with both, but I agree I like white interior best, looks classy to me and really pops.

I'm out!

And look, it's East. That makes about 6 or 7 East cars since I went west...

Nice looking car. Just wish that sellers looking for a premium price would put more effort into their ads.

Besides the completely ugly white body side molding ruining the lines of the car, a black body with white top/interior is also a turn off. Make it all black and problem solved.

The Polara 500 trim should be black, not white.

Certainly stripped model for the asking price.

Doh! Black! Not sure why I was thinking dark argent, although that might look cool. Mine are fully polished and not painted.

Dark argent sounds like it would look good on a black car actually

Would the person with a 1969 parts book look up the moldings in question.

Argent only on the lower? Are you sure

As posted above you could have both moldings, although someone may have added the bodyside to protect the car.
It was also mention that the original 500 trim was black not argent. Those have been paint white, light argent or just polished.

Originals (black)

Mine Polished

Better without the molding but with the pin-stripe......

 

[polara71]

My 500 was white, with a black pinstripe. That was in 1984.

Any pics of that one Dave.......?

 

[polara71]

On my computer. Ive posted it here once or twice. I don't have internet in the house yet, too rural. Waiting for my Starlink Satellites to align

Looks like the seller ended the auction and started a new one, with the starting bid being the highest bid of the last auction, the buy it now price has been reduced to $27.5k.

Indeed, the minimum ask went down from $18k to $17k on DM27H9D241455 (notice the missing digit in the eBay listing).

Edit: the listing ended about half an hour after I posted.

Did anyone manage to catch the yellow 1969 500 Polara 'vert that briefly went up for sale in Nevada on June 3?

Edit: The NV location was incorrect, DM27G9D198053 is actually for sale in Mexico.

Here is another yellow 1969 Polara 500 'vert that we may have missed. DM27G9D129445 sold on Copart in DC almost 2 years ago, in August 2019.

Seems to be using these large C-Bodies for a spray painting bench is popular today.
I just saw this the other day (phew... took me awhile to find this again)

I am a fan of this combination. But then again I have never been accused of conforming.
