NOT MINE 3 ‘70 Polara Convertible Projects - Rose Bowl on FB

[Samplingman]

@ayilar, here are some tags. @polara71 he mentions your old Rose Bowl car.

I hate to do it but I am going to sell my 3 polara convertible projects. I would like to sell them as a package but will split up. But if they sell as a package I will knock $1000 off the individual car price and the new owner can have my LARGE amount of parts I have to do these 3 cars. The parts stash includes alot of cool stuff like 500 trim, superlite grille, convertible top, bumpers, grilles, complete front stub for convertible with 383 and 727 still attached, and tons of clean sheetmetal.
3 cars are as follow:
1970 EV2 orange 2 tag T code 440 polara vert public relations Q code only known high impact C body vert, superlite, high optioned car.

1970 white 440 polara vert (rose bowl parade car) was Polara Dave's car. All there just disassembled and vert good sheetmetal car.

Then a 1969 polara 500 L code 440hp B7 blue. Solid body but needs floor pans which I have.

All 3 are projects but very worthy projects. The EV2 one is the only know high impact color vert and is a 2 tag Q code public relations car.

Pm me for more info or pics. I am asking $4500 per car individually or I will sell the group of 3 for $12500 and the new owner would also get all the parts I have for them which is an easy couple grand. Located by norfolk, nebr. Thanks Mike

The Polara guys phones I guess have been blowing up. I guess not just Polara guys had some Fury guys alert me to these last evening. Thanks to all.
The Rose Bowl car can't catch a break. That and the EV2 car land to those with good intentions and they never come to fruition.


To date I'm very certain the EV2 car is the only known 2 tag 70 convertible.

 

[amazinblue82]

ah yes, the wisdom and regret of age.

twenty years ago I would not have stopped until all three were in my warehouse. I am happy its twenty years later and my time has passed. That's also the sad part.

Hope these stay in hobby with capable and dedicated new generation of owner(s). I know ..too much to hope for. heck, they don't even wanna drive these magnificent machines anymore

maybe some cats/families like this will still be caretaker(s) in the meantime?

Any update since? @polara71 @71Polara383

 

[polara71]

I've heard nothing.
I'd love to have that Rose Bowl car back .
I have zero MOJO anymore for anything like that.

This would keep me busy in retirement. But where to store the other two when working on one? Then there’s the $80-$100K to bring them back to glory. It would be a hobby passion and not an investment. Doing it halfway is not in my vocabulary, so I would be sure to over do it.

If the bodies are rust free that would be a start. Interiors and mechanical are not as scary for me.

Then there’s the $30K addition I should put on my back garage to accommodate starting a project like this.

 

[polara71]

That's the problem
The EV2 car has rust, lots of it. The stub needs to be replaced, some floor, fender, lower quarter. If I recall correctly trunk pan and perhaps a rear frame rail is bad.
It is the most valuable, loaded , 1 of 1 70 Convertible. I've known about this car for 24 years or so. I made an offer on it back then. It was said to have gone to Finland when I did. It never made the trip and I moved on. Obviously long before then and ever since someone thought it was special but no one stepped up. I had hoped and sincerely thought the current owner would .
THIS is the car Wyatt should be expressing his talents on .

See the 300 and the polara @ about 18-21 minutes.......

AND the E bodies. I at one time had ordered a VHS of the whole parade trying to locate the cars in the parade. Not much information there. You see pretty much all of it above.

Thanks! Polara starts at 19:07 and ends at 19:32, before being seen briefly again at 22:16. The 300 indeed starts the minute before.

I'll get to it one day.

 

[polara71]

I'll get to it one day.

Someday never comes my friend.

 

[71Polara383]

It could.

The black car means more to me then this show car. Maybe that's wrong, but after having it out for the first time in a long time this weekend. It validated everything I've ever thought. I love that thing.

If the orange show car ended up on my possession, I'd try to do it justice but it just doesn't do anything for me.

thanks for posting.

The two ebodies that I found are oddball in several ways. Typical commercial cars. They both have things either not available or unusual for their models.
Am I missing more ebodies? Several good C bodies on there.

Since that's not the whole parade we don't know what was at the event or built for it.

Pretty sure the guy with the Rose Bowl Polara was the same person that bought DM23G9D273412 from me 10 years ago. A 383 2 bbl 500 for all the trim and for the solid panels. The floors, trunk pan and rear window channel was toast on tis one.
Would've like to have kept it, but it was just too much of a big project for me at the time that I didn't need. Still like to get a 69 Polara or preferably, a 69 Monaco someday.
