Hi, and thanks for looking! This auction is for a very rare 1964 Dodge Polara four door hardtop, the B body size, not the C body. This car is an original 71K mile survivor that I found back in 2011, brought home, and fixed up back to roadworthy condition. This car was originally from the Chuckey, TN area and was bought new at City Garage in Greenville, TN back in October 1963, making it 50 years old as of now. I have the certicard, original registration, owners manual, build sheet, warranty book, and a few registration cards going up to about 1981 when the original owner passed away and his widow had to transfer the title. I have not changed the look of the car from as found other than fix a broken windshield, drivers side window, and a set of dogdish hubcaps. The paint is the original white. Since I had two surgerys and then the birth of my baby I just don't have the money to put into fixing up the car any more than it is currently so I hope I can find it a good home. The car runs, drives, stops, and will go anywhere you want. I have fixed or replaced the following since I pulled it out of that field back in 2011:
New tires
14" Wheels sandblasted and repainted
All brakes replaced, shoes, cylinders, etc.
Conversion to dual master cylinder
Pertronix electronic ignition
Solid state voltage regulator
MSD coil
New belts and hoses
new turn signal flasher
new shocks
heater box sandblasted and rebuilt with all new stuff, new heater core.
floor patched with sheet tin under drivers feet - (cowl needs work)
new trunk floor - not installed
new fuel tank and sender
new fuel pump
Stromberg carb rebuilt.
new exhaust
radiator dipped, cleaned, and brackets fixed.
replaced upper door hinge on drivers door.
new windshield
new drivers side window (made new, no used ones ANYWHERE)
valves adjusted
new valve cover gaskets
new PCV
and probably more that I have forgot.
That's all the good stuff.
This is a fifty year old car that has never been restored. It needs some things done. The cowl needs rust repair over the drivers feet (common on this bodystyle), the floor needs work, (mostly just front), the trunk needs the new bottom put in, The bottom of the rear window and area round the corners of the front windshield and the bottoms of the fenders behind the rear tires need work. There is some dings and dents on the car as well, front passengers fender, some minor holes in the hood and fenders, but the basic frame and structure of the car is rock solid. I don't know how to weld very well and don't really have time to do those kinds of repairs anymore anyways. If you can do those things, this is the perfect project for you! It also needs the interior worked on, both seats are ripped, so is the headliner, the carpet is gone, the seatbelts are not attached and in bad shape anyways, the AM radio needs a new speaker (it just died a few weeks ago), a drivers side armrest, etc. Drivers side window does not line up with the back window just right.
BUT - it is a running, driving, inspected car and it is mechanically reliable, and it hasn't been hacked up or modded beyond just basic stuff. You can stop by and test drive it, check it out, etc, just call 540-449-1667 and set up a time.
I will work with you on shipping but in my opinion you could just drive it home. It will do 65 on the interstate with no problem. The car is located in Radford, VA, zip code 24141 right off I-81 in the mountains of Virginia.
This is a reserve auction, but it is a reasonable reserve, just enough to keep my wife from beating me :)
This car is one of the few 64 dodges left in this part of the world, they are pretty much gone. I do know where a 330 sedan is in a local yard if you need parts.

This SEMA special drag race is absurdly awesome
Fri, Dec 5 2014The SEMA Show came and went last month, and it showed us a ton of heavily modded goodies to dream about during the long, cold winter. The Motor Trend Channel on YouTube is keeping the party rolling a little longer, though, with a drag race inspired by the aftermarket event. All of the hosts were supposed to borrow a vehicle from the show for the big race, but only two of them actually cajoled companies into lending their wares. Still, the result includes four very cool and extremely different examples of the breadth of the automotive hobby. First up, there's a 1955 Chevrolet with a 535-cubic-inch (8.8-liter) Hemi V8 stuffed under the hood. Appropriately, it's dubbed the Blasphemi, and with skinny tires up front, fat rubber in the rear and a stripped interior, this this is made to go very fast in a straight line. Next, there's a stock Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat boasting 707 horsepower. Plus, host Jessi Lang has her dog riding shotgun for the race. A Chevy Sonic RS with some body mods, downpipe and intake is also competing. Finally, the most bizarre of the quartet is a custom 1958 Jeep Forward Control with a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and treads to replace the wheels. Obviously, the Blasphemi and Hellcat are the only two that really have a chance of winning, but check out the video to see which one crosses the finish line first.

Chrysler slows minivan production, hasn't built VW Routan this year
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Chrysler has slowed production of its Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans this week, Automotive News reports. The Windsor, Ontario plant will cut its three shifts from eight hours each to four hours each in an effort "to align production with market demand," a Chrysler spokesperson told AN. Chrysler also builds the closely related Routan minivan for Volkswagen at its Ontario facility, but has not built a single example thus far in 2013.
Sales of Chrysler's minivans fell 15 percent for the first two months of 2013, and a large part of that has to do with the 26-percent drop of the Grand Caravan alone (the T&C was only down by one percent). According to Automotive News data, as of March 1, Chrysler had an unsold inventory of 24,713 Town and Country models and 18,547 Grand Caravans - a 69- and 43-day supply, respectively.
"No sense running full speed now, then have a lot of vehicles sitting around a few months down the line," Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson told AN. Full production is expected to resume again on March 18.
Dodge Charger Hellcat hitting 60 in 2.9 seconds on drag radials?
Thu, 02 Oct 2014The Dodge boys and their cousins from SRT have shoehorned the same 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter supercharged V8 into both the Dodge Challenger and Charger. The former being a two-door, it's lighter than the latter four-door sedan. So it would stand to reason that the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would be the quicker of the two, right?
Only that's not necessarily proving to be the case. On stock rubber, yes, the coupe beats the sedan: Dodge quotes a 0-60 time of 3.7 seconds for the Charger SRT Hellcat and 3.5 for the Challenger. Same gap across the quarter-mile: 11 seconds flat for the Charger versus 10.8 seconds for the Challenger. But according to recent reports, the story changes when you put both on drag radials.
While visiting Chrysler HQ in Auburn Hills, MI, TorqueNews.com caught wind of performance figures for the Charger Hellcat on drag tires: 0-60 in a mind-blowing 2.9 seconds and a quarter-mile in just 10.7. The latter figure just barely pips the Hellcat-powered Challenger's NHRA-certified figure of 10.8, making the Charger not only the fastest sedan on the market, but also the fastest muscle car. What isn't immediately clear, however, is whether the drag radials in question have any tread on them and are street-legal, or if they're pure slicks confined to a closed strip.
