1971 Dodge Polara - CHP Car

Didn't CHP run all 440 Polara cars from 1969-1971? Not quite recreated correctly. Also overpriced.

A recreation asking 15K... Interesting.

 

[polara71]

I saw this the other day and got excited briefly . I dont want a CHP car however . I want a simple DK coded car 383-4 or 440 , the more unmarked the better .

Seat fabric and headliner appear correct. Dash pad is custom aftermarket as is package tray. Most cruisers of that era had that awful shade of tan (T5) or dark grey interiors. High relief door panels are not correct. Cruisers usually do not have inside handles on rear doors or windows (Bad guy might get out). Car has incorrect dome light and is missing the ticket light. Cruisers never ran air shocks.

There was a brown one in my favorite junk yard in 1983 . A N coded low optioned car that was impounded in the town I grew up in.

I have seen this car, a well done clone from a honest seller, he does say Recreated.

Possibly not CHP-accurate in all respects, but still a nice car. Price is a little high, to me, for a normal Polara. But with the period-correct radio and such, might not be that far off. Would be nice if it had a real CHP former-life documentation with it, rather than a "recreation".

Wasn't there something about white steering wheels on CHP cars? Would be nice to see a data plate/build sheet from a real CHP car!

White steering wheels were cooler to the touch when the cars sat out in the sun, think either AZ or NM used them also.

My Grants, New Mexico car has the white wheel. Not exclusive to only CHP.

Alan, You keep saying that, I think we all realize it . He clearly states it.
I for one would like to know what guys feel are incorrect.. or at least what they are seeing

 

[MrMoparCHP]

What is incorrect...
Should be HP440.
No Cruise control.
No factory radio and antenna (71 would not have antenna hole plug either).
Interior should be gray/black.
No clock.
Should have factory dome light.
Deck lights have the wrong mounts.
Original steering wheels yellow with age but I believe 71's still used the A/B-Body full horn ring.
Wrong radio control head (the one in the car is period correct but not correct for CHP).
Radar? not sure if correct for 71.
Shotgun bracket may not be correct, this is probably a later style.
Should not have chrome trim around door windows.
Spare in the wrong spot, should be on the side like the convertibles.
No bumper guards (unless ALL 71 Polaras had them).
Some cars had dual antennas but would also have dual radios.
Clip on the rain rail is the wrong type.

At least it is a Polara (not a Fury etc), a 4-door SEDAN, it is painted correctly (doors all all black with just the (front) panel white), correct graphics installed correctly.

My data plate has
B41 - Disc Brakes
F15 - 65 Amp Alternator
H51 - Air Conditioning
V02 - Two-tone Paint
Y39 - Special Order
26 - 26" Radiator
E86 - HP440
D32 - Heavy Duty Transmission

The steering wheel and horn ring are both 99 codes (special order) on the broadcast sheet.

My computer has my sense of humor.
This is the picture it shows me, where I can see this black and white Recreation very clearly.
