Lets Play A Game: Last Of The Convertibles

Thanks to @70 Sport Suburban, we now have information on a 1970 Polara 'vert, DL27L0D101360 -- thanks Manny!!!

This 1970 was for sale in Minnesota back in 2016. Luckily, he saved the photos and the ad. Here they are, posted with his permission. @polara71, @71Polara383, @Fratzog -- is this a new one to you as well?

That isn't terribly bad, for the price. And a super-early car, too, with an August 5, 1969 SPD. It's been off the road a lonnnng time, with those vintage Minnesota tags on it that look like they've been on it forever. I see a 1976 renewal tab on the front tag.

It can be saved, with the help of a derelict coupe or ragtop donor parts car.
 
I agree that it needs to be saved. On that note, if anyone is serious about this and you need a place to keep it temporarily, PM me. I am not far, but would be willing to help if we can set up arrangements.

Thank you both for the follow-ups. The car was for sale 5 years ago (2016). I am not aware of its current whereabouts, although the seller in the FB ad is still around -- she is a real estate agent, so one possibility is that she was selling the car as part of an estate sale of sorts.

I have 27 photos of this car from 2015 . I have it listed however from Illinois. That could be where the ad was from, not necessarily the car.
How'd you miss it?

The car never popped up on my radar screen at the time, at least not when I was looking.

I try to search thoroughly before posting, and in this case AFAICT the VIN, keywords and photos are not indexed anywhere. Hence, my request for info -- glad you responded.

--> If you can link to your original post, that'd be great. If you have not yet posted those 27 pics, even better if you could do so now :-)
 
My computer has no internet connection. Rural America has advantages and disadvantages, take your pick which this is.
 
Not to highjack this thread, there are rural internet options.
Hughesnet, Starlink are 2. I presently have Hughesnet, who’s service is not very fast and I have placed a deposit on a Starlink set of equipment and services.

We watched the Starlink satellites last week, freaky. There are four " motherships" up there too. 60 plus lights all moving South to North. 20 minutes later they were going West to East . I think that is the way we're leaning. We had two providers here in the last three weeks. We are 10 miles from each tower and no hard lines.

So you got moved?
 
Hey, that's Missouri, DL27N0D193510 -- wanna contribute her build sheet to this thread? That would be great since it was built with a woodgrain steering wheel and road wheels. I have pictures of the tag from years ago but it's your car and the eBay info is no longer online, so it's your call.

I do not.. I only posted her to keep the thread on track.
