NOT MINE 1971 dodge polara Colorado

Thank you for posting. @cuda hunter -- this is in your neck of the woods. If you happen to get the fender tag, would be great to get permission to post it here.
From the ad:
"It has just shy of 34k miles on the clock, but it's anyone's guess if it rolled-over or not. It last passed CO emissions in 1999. It's in original condition and appears to have never been wrecked.
It has a clean title, and not one I bonded-- I received a valid, clean CO title from the 90s in the name of the previous owner who donated it to charity to be sold at auction. It has a Skyline Dodge of Denver dealer badge on the trunk, so there's an excellent chance it's been a Colorado vehicle its entire life.
It has the 383 engine (...) I had it running, but now it's not cooperating, I think it's a fuel delivery issue. (...) It was listed as having keys when I bought it as a donated vehicle. While it technically did have keys, they did not go with it. I drilled the ignition lock to work on it, then I took out the ignition switch when the screwdriver stopped doing the trick.
(...) pretty good paint, bodywork & trim, nothing too broken. The driver's floorboard is mostly gone (...) There's not a whole lot of rot or rust other than the floorboard.
The interior is a mixed bag. Most stuff is there, but the seat upholstery is rough, there's brown tape on the door armrests to patch them up (...)
The headlights work. The turn signals work, but don't flash, probably needs a new relay.
It definitely needs tires. They'll hold air a little while, but they're pretty old.
Cash only. I'll consider best offers. I can deliver just about anywhere in the US, and will do so around the Denver area at no charge (...) There are some extra parts in the trunk, no idea if they're good for anything or just bad take-offs that were thrown in there after repairs."

Looks pretty roached but I cant help but like it.
I wonder if it is no power steering? Or was that standard by 71?
4dr sedan only option, big block those are the cars that are intriguing

I asked. The car is about 3 hours and change from where I am. If someone is seriously interested I can help with shipping or looking at it.
I'll let ya know what I find out.

Here ya go.
Pretty cool color combo. White on white with a tan interior and a gold body protector stripe on the side.
Interesting car without many options.
What do yal think?

I think I would be trying to land a deal on it if it was closer. Don't know why, it's the last thing I need. It wasnt too many years ago I sold a driver fury that was a way better car for a quarter of the price. But that car has a look about it. Cheap cop car look I guess. I dont even like 4 doors.
Ill just have to settle for my Newport radio delete car. It looks pretty cheap even though " every chrysler is a luxury car"
I bet the rust isn't all that bad on this car.

Not terrible but its always worse than it looks.
Not a big deal if you had a lift probably. A couple of weekends on those lowers.
The interior is a shambles. I would be hoping to rob a parts car for some seats

Might have been a municipal car that they thought might end up with a light bar
The question is "why" -- especially with the F13 high-rampage alternator. I think @Rustyrodknocker is probably right, but I don't see any other reinforcements.
Not special enough to be a show car, so without seeing the broadcast sheet it’s IMO a sales bank car.
So it was ordered from Chrysler.
But it’s strange it’s also a Y14 sold car
F13 has nothing to do with it
