This one keeps tormenting me too. Already found the correct grille and replacement parking light/turn lens on Ebay lol... Would have to have it transported though, it's a long way from the KY/IN border....

Hey all, seriously considering taking on a pretty big project - 70 Newport convertible blue/blue with serious rot underneath. Stub frame is good, rear rails could be patched, but needs floorpans/rocker work or replacement, and the trunk dropoffs and most of the trunk pan are toast as well as the...

If the tool I use is correct, it decodes as this: RM23: Plymouth Belvedere,Satellite Medium, Road Runner 2 Door Hardtop N0A: 383 330HP OR 335HP 1-4BBL 8 CYL 1970 Lynch Road, MI, USA 127328: Sequence number E63: 383 cid 4 barrel V8 H.P. 335hp D32: Heavy Duty Automatic Transmission...

Hey Davews, tried to message you but your inbox was full. That would be at the very top of my price range, not sure i can swing it. Suprisingly, I haven't seen or heard of much - I've expanded into looking at Newport also (love the 67s and the 69), and have spent the weekend on FB, EBay etc...

Maybe you missed the 'Project-priced' part of my ad? That doesn't look like a $4k car to me. Beautiful though. And one of my favorite colors. Maybe one day....

Thanks for posting that. I went and found the thread. Nice car to do, but I'm not feeling froggy about having to do frame, firewall and trunk floors. Might be more of a project than I can handle, but the price is unreal for what it is... gotta think on it.

This one was just posted today, not too far from Indianapolis. I don't know if I buy 31k miles, but it does look clean. 4 door/auto/air looks like a small block but I'm no expert. www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1126365441083703

My first 'not mine' post so if something is wrong feel free to delete/fix as needed. Didn't see this posted but if I missed it my apologies. While searching for a 2 door 68-71 to restore I came across this one on FB in Webster, KY It's here: www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/262236841792964 4...

Hence the profile pic - my city is home to the Kentucky Derby, and commonly referred to as the 'Derby City'. Guess I need to change my name...not crashing cars, looking for a Saturday night car show/cruiser project.

It was suggested in a thread I made elsewhere to make a post on here to see if anyone is holding onto one of these that they may be willing to part with, so here it is. I'm looking for a 68 (I know it's not a fuselage car but i really like the look) or 69-71 300/Sport Fury/Polara/Monaco coupe...

Thanks for the additional info. I have messaged the seller twice on Facebook since Sunday with no reply. Maybe it's sold and not marked? My thoughts were 1500k-2k just from what I could see/guesstimate from his listing - glad to have someone more knowledgeable than me put the car in the same...

Passion? Maybe. Just not dumb enough to toss 30k into a 10k car unless I was trying to find my old high school ride or something, and even then it would be a stretch. Point made and taken. Thanks to @ayilar for the additional info on the Polara's condition. Saves me a road trip.

Thanks so much for the advice and help. Even if I don't get either car, this is a huge help building up my knowledge about these cars, and what to look for/where so I can be more confident when it's time to pull the trigger.

That being said - what's a reasonable price to expect to pay for the Polara, ASSUMING (dangerous I know) the rust is limited to the quarter panels, knowing the interior is shot, and knowing the brakes are out for whatever reason - could be a rusted line/broken hose/bad master cyl/brake cyl/all...

Just to add some background - I have a garage full of tools, compressor, and MIG setup. I've replaced floor pans and patched quarter panels in Mustangs and have no issues taking the engine, suspension and electrical down to the bare bones and building them back up. About the only thing I haven't...
