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. On Jun-03-14 at 12:49:43 PDT, seller added the following 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. |

2015 Dodge Challenger configurator has all the Hellcat you can dream of
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has sucked up a lot of air in the automotive news world this summer, so it's good to know that you can actually go out and, you know, buy the sucker. With 2015 models headed for your local showroom, Dodge has seen fit to also pull the wraps off it's latest Challenger configurator, complete with the supercharged Hemi V8 option that we just can't seem to get enough of.
We're still enamored of the $58,995 starting price for the 707-horsepower SRT, but the online tool finally gives us a chance to see just how optioned up our dream super-muscle coupe can get.
Buyers can choose from three interior treatments and nine paint colors, with two hues (Ivory White and Phantom Black tri-coats) coming for a $500 premium. For $1,795 Laguna Leather SRT bucket seats can be added in place of the (very nice) stock chairs, and a fancier infotaiment system with navigation and HD radio runs $695.
Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.
Chrysler killing off the 200 Convertible, Dodge Avenger
Sun, 23 Feb 2014When Chrysler rolled out the first-generation 200 to replace the Sebring range in 2010, it included replacements for both the sedan and the convertible. The Sebring Coupe, however, was left out of the mix. And now that the second-generation Chrysler 200 is descending upon us, Auburn Hills is paring things down even further. But this time, it's the convertible that reportedly isn't making the cut. Shame, too, since the rendering above shows what could have been quite an attractive droptop.
As our compatriots at Edmunds point out, sales of the convertible model accounted for less than five percent of overall Chrysler 200 sales, and at those numbers, the considerable cost of engineering a new drop-top couldn't be justified. With the Toyota Camry Solara and Volkswagen Eos also gone from the market (well, the VW isn't gone quite yet), the discontinuation of the Chrysler 200 Convertible leaves the affordable convertible segment largely to the sportier likes of the Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro and smaller European offerings like the Mini Cooper and VW Beetle.
The Chrysler 200 Convertible isn't the only derivative being left behind with the new model: so too is the Dodge Avenger. That will leave a glaring hole in the Dodge lineup, with nothing to bridge the gap between the compact Dart and the larger Charger. Whether the Dodge brand has any plans to replace the Avenger with another model, not to be based on the 200, remains to be seen.
