If anyone thinks there car came from here I will gladly check any vins to see if I have the folder for the car. He was a Dodge dealer from 65 on and got the Chrysler-plymouth franchise in 1968.

The “H” engine code for 5th digit of VIN is the same for 1967-1968-1969 model years.
What always causes confusion is that “H” was the code for the hemi in 1966.
There were two 383 engine options starting in 1967, a 2 and 4 barrel (“G” and “H” codes) changing the hemi code on VIN to “J”.
Therefore both the 1967 and 1969 Polaras listed above had the following engine:
“H” 383 with 4 barrel
This changed again with the 1970 model.
“G” 318 / 2-barrel
Which was already pointed in out in the reply from member “ayilar” above.

Did they sell any 68 300 convertibles? Not sure where mine came from.

Funny to see they raised prices after October '65, up enough to get $800 more for a similarly equipped car.
Thanks. Most 4-speed 67/68 C-Body convertibles were manual steering cool this one got PS, but only manual brakes. With 11" drums which they probably made you order with the 4-speed. Wonder if this car is still out there. Both 4-speed cars were ordered which makes sense, no dealer would order those for stock.
Bryant Motors in Renton, WA, had two customer ordered 1967 Fury 4-door 4-speed cars. One is the infamous 444 Fury III, the other was a Fury II ordered by an Boeing Engineer. That car hasn't turned up. Info is from the Owner's Son who was a Lot Boy at the time.

Just to add more to the crazy story of the 4-speed cars, the black 66, and the 67 were ordered by the same guy . He had both for a couple of months before trading the 66 in for another car and keeping the 67.
UNREAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I owned DM27H74208648 BOUGHT FROM ORIGINAL OWNER IN CENTRAL, IND. FOR $750
HE LET HIS WIFE USE AS DAILY DRIVER.
IT WAS A POLARA 500 CONVERTIBLE 4 SP WITH CONSOLE.
I LOST PAPERWORK. CAR ENDED UP CRUSHED AT WRIGHT'S SALVAGE ON GRADE LANE IN

FYI, as there was some specific car/ownership stories being shared here -
I just discovered that 'tdenkler' passed away in early 2021.
If any of you knew him, you could leave a note here, to have all of them in one place:
RIP member tdenkler (Tom Denkler)

First time I have seen this thread.
Would you happen to have any 70 BH barracuda's in that paperwork from the dealership.
I'm always looking for information on that model.
