65 Dodge Polara 500

General Information

Nowhere near the way it left the factory, I've pretty much just made the old girl my own and how I want it. Still the original engine, now needing another rebuild; found the automatic boring so I added a 4 speed; bought an entire Monaco interior out of a wrecking yard 'cause I like the rear seats and full length console; found the off white paint boring as well so changed that. Still nowhere near done with it, in fact it now needs more than when I bought it - but it now has >400K miles on it and 250K of those are mine since I talked a friend into selling it back in 1977.

Thanks, Bryan

The dash shot was really to show the stick in the middle of the photo, although I do like the dash in these cars.

Dug up a few more, shots of the engine rebuild ~ June of 83/84. A couple of the first repaint in 84 or 85 then a couple more in fresh paint in June of 90, really haven't done much to it since 90 other than a brake job and drive it when I can so it no longer looks anywhere near as nice. The first pics in the montage were taken ~ 95 so they're not too new either.
