I remember seeing the car on the net for the first time... Being a 71 fan and liking them in brown this car hit a nerve. As I said I offered him twelve, he said he had an offer of $1,250. So of course I said $1,275 and the deal was done. . . . .
Likely a solid southern car. 5K a bit optimistic.
Good to see you on board...
I really like that convertible next to it......don't you agree Matt?
The rust around the rear window happened when they had it parked under a car port but the rear end stuck out. Another reason too why the trunk pan had little holes in it and was weak in some areas. As far as the paper trail-I gave everything I had with it when it sold. It was all in the glove box. I'm going to go through some storage tubs here tonight and see if I can find those photos. I had stored away with other pics of my late 90's cars I had. Before the Polara,I had a '70 Impala Custom and a '72 El Camino. The Polara was my first vintage Mopar.
After it sold and I started making better money,I went on a Dodge Dart/Plymouth Scamp binge and rescued 15 of them. I have a 16th original '72 as well as the '69 New Yorker code Y13 "Dealer Demo" now.
Dave/Jason....71's still had factory points ignition. Did either of you convert to the current electronic ignition?
Wow! I didn't know about the color change. Back then,I was just getting into older cars and not paying too much attention to the codes like I do now. You know,if I get up north again here anytime soon,it might be 16 years later,but maybe I'll stop by that house to see if the original owners still live there. It's a longshot,but I can try.
