I agree that the two-tone look really made mine stand out, and the green and white paint plus 500 trim stripe gave it a unique presence. Thanks again for the response!

Thanks, sharp looking Monaco!

Hi Alan, Thanks!

Wow, this is fantastic! Thanks so much for the info!

I'm sure they are in the box that's under the box behind a box in the back of the closet somewhere. What I'd really love to find someday is anything with the VIN on it just in case the old gal is still out there somewhere.

I wish I'd known back then that someday I'd want a picture of that fender tag and broadcast sheet, at the time I was 18 and my priorities were elsewhere! Oh well, live and learn I guess...

Thanks!

Hi, I need to dig up some pictures from way back in 1972 or so, but I had (and absolutely loved) a 1969 Dodge Polara 500. The body was green, the roof was painted white. It was a sharp looking car with the 500 trim and perfect colors for a kid going to college at Michigan State. I've always...

Congrats on picking up this beauty! I had one just like it many years ago, great car for eating miles on the highway. I'd forgotten how much the dash evolved between my 69 Polara and this generation. Like both, just for different reasons!

FWIW - my 1969 Polara 500 2-door had wood grain and the chrome tulip. The black accent, chrome and wood grain really looked sharp, certain that was the factory ship configuration for that vehicle.

Some awesome advice and support already, man I wish this site had existed when I was first banging knuckles! You might try using a short piece of hose (garden hose works great) as sort of a stethoscope to help find the leak. One end near your ear, the other poking around looking for hissing...

Given the uncertainty of what is hiding inside the old pump and carb, I'd certainly second the advice to put in the new pump and rebuild the carb. Great tip about making sure it's the right pump (or set correctly if adjustable) for your flow rate! More a general comment than one specific to...

Gorgeous 300 and great sense of humor! Thanks for sharing both. The yarnmobile is fascinating in many ways, but I suspect that getting caught in the rain would be "a bit interesting" in many ways too. At least the Imp could handle the extra thousand pound of water it would soak up! You'd...

In case anyone is interested, the auction on BAT concluded with a final sale price of $9,300. I'm thinking that "charlie8" got themselves a really nice vehicle for the money!
