New Polara to me!

[mopargem]

I just got another Polara 500. This one is a 1968 and also an L code 440 magnum. The big difference with my 69 is this one isn't a project and is turn key! It's a CA car and completely rust free repainted once but not the jambs etc. Nice interior too. Not perfect but very nice and all original other than the rims. Last thing I needed was another car but this fell in my lap and couldn't pass up such a great original Mopar.

Nice score. Any more detail of how it fell into your lap.

Wow!! Talk about memory through back!! I had those same wheels on my 86 GP. I thought I was the Cats *** with those.. lol

Wow! That is super nice!

Well I guess it didn't really fall in my lap. Like anything there was work involved to make it happen BUT I was in no way looking for another car but my brother told me about it and then I couldn't resist so I went to check it out and well here it is in my garage lol. Yes I'm lovin the dark turquoise and pearl wht top, pure eye candy. This car is amazing how well kept it has been. I'm not sure what to do about the wheels. It comes with the original 14" bicycle rims with wheel covers which I may have to put on to keep it stock. I have a set of 15" Dodge Division wheel covers, you know the heavy ones, they I really like. Could I get away with those? Did 68 ever use them?

Congrats on the score! Where did you get the car?

 

[mopargem]

Semi local to me, the previous owner had it for ten years and he got it from California.

Was looking for a broadcast sheet, haven't taken the rear seat back out yet but here's what under the seat bottom looks just to show how good this car is.

I'd leave it as is unless you're inclined to put Magnum 500's on it. It looks great. My .02.

 

[1978 NYB]

I would leave it as is.

Sheezus "H" Christ that is beautiful! Congrats!

 

[mopargem]

Ok I respect everyone's opinions on the rims. The tires are in great shape. They are whitewall on the other side I could flip them. These rims are very unusual and growing on me. Give me your thoughts. Thx!

 

[78Brougham]

I'm liking tube way they look right now... but a couple pics from different angles might help to convince any Nay-Sayers.. (Shameless plug for more pics) LOL

 

[mopargem]

I need to take more pics. Don't pay attention to that 440 magnum emblem someone put on. I already took that off. Looks like it was from a 71 Charger to me.

What's not to like ... sweet ride

 

[detmatt]

Love the car, hate the wheels and black sidewalls, my .02.
You don't have to say of course but I'd love to know what you paid.

That there is a head turner. What a great color.
