NOT MINE 1970 Dodge Polara 9 Passenger

[71Polara383]

Not mine. Nice to see another surviving example of a Polara wagon instead of a Monaco.

Body looks fair. Passenger quarter is suspect... Dash cracked, but the rest of the inside looks okay. Looks to be a 383 car originally. The seller describes it as a 400 but I doubt it has been swapped.

I'd be after this one if I didn't already have one.

That atrocious BSM leaves too much on the Polara Wagon to be desired.

Happy to see one survive. Must have been that high anti-corrosive dumpster green paint.

It's the ugly *** roof rack and whitewalls throwing off the look.

Wagons are supposed to have a roof rack. If it doesn't, itsa wannabe.

Agree with all the objective observations, not so much with the subjective ones. For my taste, this wagon looks very good. FF4 Green is a matter of preferences. Dog dishes don’t belong on this car, as long as it sports WW tires — but the original hubcaps will go very well with the WW tires.

Surprised none of the sharp eyes commented on the LHS « fender corner ».

FYI , I believe the asking price is spot on .

Woodgrain and Roof racks go together.

Base Polara wagon needs to be a slicktop.

I concur. Only questionable part would be wanting to see what the heck is goin on with the quarter. Waiting on better pics and the tag. I was told it got backed into by a tractor and it was cut out and replaced.

A fancy name trying to make it cool, doesn't make it cool. It makes it desperate but ok, A sliktop Wannabe

Whatre you even talking about now? Fancy name? The roof racks are ugly just like the wood grain. Seeing the plain boring wagon is far more intriguing and interesting to me.

I get that the wood and added fancy stuff is what makes wagons Iconic. Cool. I dont like that stuff no matter what the crowd says.

Polara > Monaco in all situations.

Character son, character. A wagon is supposed to have a roof rack a third seat and Woodgrain. Otherwise it's a Ranchero with a roof.

 

[71Polara383]

Nah a wagon is supposed to have a long roof and ill agree 3 rows of seating.

Every surviving wagon having woodgrain would be boring and you know it.

 

[polara71]

?

Sure.

This wagon really needs a set of Cooper Cobras! Am I right gentleman?

 

[surfnturf]

Okay... not to nit-pick... But the surfboard fins are in upside down. There supposed to be on the bottom of the board, not sticking up at the top!

The roof rack allows for multiple transports at once.
