[ayilar]

DM23K3D276834 (incorrectly listed as DM23KD276834) is currently listed for sale on eBay. Good luck getting the asking price given the apparent condition of the car. Assuming the VIN is correct, the engine is not a 440...

From the ad: "76K Miles | Family-Owned | Location: Boise, Idaho

Up for sale is a rare 1973 Dodge Polara in original powder baby blue with dark navy interior and gold embroidery. It features the legendary 440 V8 (7.2L) engine and only 76,000 original miles on the odometer. This vehicle has been in the same family for three generations.

Important Note: This Polara has been sitting for 20 years. It starts and runs, but light maintenance will be needed to bring it fully back to life: Gas tank flush and fresh fuel Replacement of aged gaskets Full fluid change and inspection of belts/hoses Brake system inspection

That is not a reason to summarily dismiss a car -- see here for a first-person example of why:

sellers can ask for the moon, but what i can see in the one pic/VIN, this one needs some 'xplainin'.

and more pics. might be really nice ... dunno. could be a trainwreck ... dont think so tho.

wish them luck with it in any event.

Looks like a scam. No user history, account is a few weeks old. May be why vin is off by one digit, an effort to foil search results.

Definitely worth saving, but at 1/5th the price...
