Looks promising. I hope she finds a deserving home.

Mud guards may look corny but they could be a good sign for a buyer. It might indicate that someone actually cared enough about protecting the paint to put them on.

That's always been my understanding for Mopar. I think Ford had 15's?

Ford had solid chrome 15x7 Magnum 500s. Chrysler only had 14" Magnum 500s, in 14x5.5 and 14x6. Ford also had 14x6 solid chromes, plus many trim ring 14x7s in the '70s, as I recall.
The wheels on the Polara look good, even if they are 14" wheels w/drum brakes.

I looked at this car for @ayilar .
Is it still in the Syracuse area?
It has some pop rivet type rust repair and a crappy repaint, but otherwise solid. For Sale - https://syracuse.craigslist.org/cto/d/1970-dodge-polara-convertible/6765971007.html
It may even be closer to home now if someone wants another look.

I still think Wyatt should be on this.
IIRC, the wheels were 14" OEM Mopar. I believe I even looked at the tire size.
The owner said he had a house on Otisco Lake and looking a little closer, that's the lake in the background. I know exactly where that is.

After a little back and forth with new v. old pics, I notice the plates are changed to the current yellow versions and the inspection sticker is missing from the windshield. This may mean the car has been registered and failed the NYS inspection.
I'm out of town right now, but I may take a ride past the house and take a look from the road when I get back. It's just a few miles from home.

Some pics I took mixed in with some that the seller's helper took.
Trunk floor was solid with some rust scale, but not needing replacement.
Pop rivet rust repair. I'd say this was a quickie repair, typical for the 70/80's. Looks like new metal over old metal. Probably not too screwed up underneath.
Front bumper chrome.

Trunk floor extensions from below. Typical rust, but looks repairable to me.
Rear bumper
Bottom of quarter panel. Pop rivets.
Lower left quarter to rear pan.
Over spray on seat belt. This is not an original paint car.
