Nice.
Too bad he messed with it, as when done right and done well, they bring the big bucks. His asking price is probably not too far off though.

40 k and having to finish it yourself.... sorry but no thanks. Wonder what damage was done to the original dash after he ripped it out to stuff that in there. And what of the push button trans? He must had to do some mod to get that floor shift to work.
Nice.....don't see many of those around.
If someone asked me "can you put a 63/4 Chrysler dash in a 60 Dodge?", I would have no.
The listing is gone...

I kind of doubt it is gone because it got sold given how many nicer cars linger.

I understand these guys did not mess with the dash; they start with a 1963 or 64 Chrysler and make it into a 1960 Dodge, did the same with that black one pictured above, but that one was finished before it went to market.
If true, I sure hope the buyer knows before closing the deal!

You mean the black car is a fraud, and for something like $150,000?!! How do you know this? Seems very risky if true???
I know so little about those cars that I can't even speculate if it's possible that the cars started out as 63/64 Chryslers, but it doesn't make sense that someone would go to all the work of hanging the sheet metal on the blue one and then not bothering to switch the dash.
I think the blue car has just had a dash swap somewhere in its past. The 60 Dodge dash would have to be expensive to restore and this might have been a logical alternative at the time. The shifter is cable operated and shouldn't be a big deal.
The black car.... At $150K you are really starting to talk fraud. There's probably some scenario of a rusty D500 vert with good paperwork etc. that could make this happen, but wow... That kind of money with the description in the ad would be a criminal level of deception.

I don't understand what you mean.. that black car is original, it has a '60 dash in it, and the cross ram D500 was an option, what makes you say it was a '63 or '64 Chrysler converted into a Polara?

You are saying the black '60 from eBay started life as a '63 or '64 Chrysler? I would say, NO!

You're all confused. This 60 has the 63 dash.
This one is all original.

I am still not getting it Stan. What does this part of his statement mean then: did the same with that black one pictured above ?

I didn't word that clearly. I meant that Northerfins must be confused because in the ad for the black car it states "yet the car is so original it still has the factory underseal below."
My interpretation of that is that the entire car is pretty much original.
There is no way that car was hacked from a 63 Chrysler if it brought $143k.

It appears I should clarify what I meant by "I understand..."
I don`t know these two cars, I follow them because I`d like to buy one, what I wrote is what I heard from a fellow in California, met him at a wing car reunion in Alabama a while back.
He owns two 1960 Polara convertibles, one a D 500, he states the black car has a vin from a 1960 4dr Polara built in Belvidere, CA, no D 500 convertibles were built in California.
If you can find a pic of the dash, the dash knobs are wrong for 1960 on the black car, so is the turn signal lever.
The blue one is undergoing a transformation as well, no longer advertised for sale.
