1972 Dodge Polara Custom 4-door hardtop

360 V8, automatic transmission, 46,375 original miles

No Reserve


Up for bid is an all original 1972 Dodge Polara Custom 4-door pillarless hardtop, with a 360 V8 and automatic transmission.  She runs and drives really well, and gets plenty of attention.  


I acquired the car from the grandson of the original owner.  I think it would be difficult to find another 42 year old car that is this original.  She has the original paint, vinyl top, interior, engine, and only has 46,375 original miles.  The 360 runs quite well, although she smokes a bit on start up but that clears up soon.  All mechanicals are in good order, the only thing non-working is the air conditioning.  She has been in Macon, Georgia most of her life; the paperwork shows some mechanical work done on her in Atlanta in early 2000s.


The body is wearing the original paint, and it shines well.  There are a few small dents, please see the photos for most of them.  There is a scuff on the right front lower fender, in front of the door.  Also, the front lower valence was damaged at some point, and was repaired with some pop-rivets and an old for sale sign.  It is not very noticeable from the outside, please look at the photo for more detail.  Some of the DODGE letters are missing on the front.  The original vinyl top is nice, except for the area under the rear window.  The car was kept in a carport for most of her life and as a result has been preserved.  There is no rust anywhere on the body.  The trunk has some rust stain under the rubber mat, but appears very solid.  All windows roll down easily, giving that terrific hardtop look.  Everyone who sees this car is amazed that this is the original paint.


The interior is almost perfect.  The front seat drivers side bottom was repaired at a local shop some time long ago, it is a slight different shade green.  I don't know why it was repaired, as the rest of the interior is spotless.  The dome light lens is missing.  The original two-latch seatbelts work fine.  All the instruments and gauges work, even the original am radio.  The windshield wiper switch was replaced back in 2003, yet is very sensitive.  That is, it has to be just right to switch off.  Overall, the interior is close to showroom.


I've tried to be as comprehensive with my description as possible, I've pointed out all the cars faults that I'm aware of.  I may have made her sound worse than she is, I'd rather the next caretaker to be pleasantly surprised how nice she really is, rather than surprised in a bad way.  






Please let me know if you have any questions, and I will do my best to answer.  I am located in the middle of Georgia, just above Macon, just off of Interstate 75.  I have a clear Georgia title on her in my name, and she is registered, tagged, and insured in my name.


This is a no reserve auction, so please bid intentionally and responsibly.  I am needing to scale back on the number of old cars that I own, so I hope the Polara can go to a good home. Thank you for looking, and let me know if you need anymore information.

I forgot to include two details:  In reference to the photo of the steering column damage, someone had tried to steal the car many years ago while she was parked in her garage.  They only succeeded in breaking the cover, exposing the wires. Please see the photo.  Also, the clock does not work.  If I remember any other details, I will post them.  Thank you for all the interest.

Florida Highway Patrolman seen watching YouTube in traffic

Fri, Apr 8 2016

The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating allegations of a trooper watching YouTube videos on his official in-car laptop while driving. Lee County Florida resident James Peebles caught the alleged offender during his morning commute in early April, NBC2 reported. After exiting I-75, Peebles said that the FHP cruiser rolled up next to him at a stop light where he could clearly see the trooper inside watching a car race on Youtube on an official FHP laptop. Peebles put his car in park and snapped a picture of the cruiser before continuing to work. Later that day, he posted the photo to Facebook where it quickly went viral. "It blew my mind," Peebles told NBC2. "Everybody's human though, so I do know that we all make mistakes." NBC2 contacted the FHP for a statement after speaking to Peebles. An FHP spokesperson told the station that troopers are allowed to use their laptops while driving squad cars when carrying out official duties such as "simple inquiries" and "reviewing the nature of incoming messages". Other Florida motorists, like Jim Kosmerick who was interviewed by NBC2 for this story, don't consider watching an old race on YouTube to be official FHP business. "It's not official business, there's no way you can convince me otherwise," said Kosmerick. The FHP says that they are now aware of this fast moving viral image, and that they are taking the issue very seriously. They state that an investigation into the matter is underway, and that troopers are expected to abide by department policy and lead by example.

Watch these Super Bowl car commercials [UPDATE]

Sat, Feb 2 2019

On Sunday, February 3, the New England Patriots take on the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl 53 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. Some will watch because of the storyline of the old-school dynasty facing off against the new-school wunderkinds, but a large chunk of people will solely be watching for the commercials. Lucky for those who slot into the latter category, many of the manufacturers release their super bowl ads ahead of time, or have simply opted to release the commercials only online. Scroll down to see what car companies have already shown their cards. Audi Audi goes the comedic route in its clip for the Big Game. It starts with a grandpa showing his grandson a gorgeous Audi e-tron GT tucked away in a garage before he's shaken awake. Turns out he was just choking on a cashew in his cubicle at his boring job. Dodge Dodge does what it knows: create enough smoke to punch more holes in the ozone layer. Set to "The Devil Went Down to Georgia (the Super Bowl is in Atlanta, get it!?), a Challenger SRT Hellcat widebody, Charger SRT Hellcat, and Durango SRT are seen ripping through a city, leaving a trail of rubber crumbs in their wakes. Genesis Genesis has not yet released a commercial prior to the Super Bowl, but it is the official luxury vehicle of the NFL. Because of this, Genesis is hosting a fan experience for 10 days before the game. It will showcase the brand's cars, offer games, and have photos opportunities and autograph days. Hyundai Jason Bateman alert! Hyundai is one of the few companies to hook a major celebrity for its advertisement, and the casting is perfect. Bateman plays a doorman who takes people to various terrible events in life, including root canals, the middle seat, and shopping for a car. The ad centers around Hyundai's Shopper Assurance, which is Hyundai's new method for car shopping. Jeep An old 1963 Jeep Gladiator finds its strength in the crusher and transforms into a a new 2020 Gladiator, with a firm declaration that the nameplate is officially back. Kia Through Kia's commercial, a young boy wonders out loud what it'd be like if the millions spent on Super Bowl commercials were used to help others.
