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. |

Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]
Wed, 23 Oct 2013In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.
China-FCA merger could be a win-win for everyone but politicians
Tue, Aug 15 2017NEW YORK — Fiat Chrysler boss Sergio Marchionne has said the car industry needs to come together, cut costs and stop incinerating capital. So far, his words have mostly fallen on deaf ears among competitors in Europe and North America. But it appears Marchionne has finally found a receptive audience — in China. FCA shares soared Monday after trade publication Automotive News reported the $18 billion Italian-American conglomerate controlled by the Agnelli family rebuffed a takeover from an unidentified carmaker from the Chinese mainland. As ugly as the politics of such a combination may appear at first blush, a transaction could stack up industrially, and perhaps even financially. A Sino-U.S.-European merger would create the first truly global auto group. That could push consolidation to the next level elsewhere. Moreover, China is the world's top market for the SUVs that Jeep effectively invented, so it might benefit FCA financially. A combo would certainly help upgrade the domestic manufacturer; Chinese carmakers have gotten better at making cars, but struggle to build global brands, and they need to develop export markets. Though frivolous overseas shopping excursions by Chinese enterprises are being reined in by Beijing, acquisitions that support the modernization and transformation of strategic industries still receive support, and the government considers the automotive industry to be strategic. A purchase of FCA by Guangzhou Automobile, Great Wall or Dongfeng Motors would probably get the same stamp of approval ChemChina was given for its $43 billion takeover of Syngenta. What's standing in the way? Apart from price (Automotive News said FCA's board deemed the offer insufficient) there's the not-insignificant matter of politics. Even as FCA shares soared, President Donald Trump interrupted his vacation to instruct the U.S. Trade Representative to look into whether to investigate China's trade policies on intellectual property. Seeing storied Detroit brands like Jeep, Chrysler, Ram and Dodge handed off to a Chinese company would provoke howls among Trump's economic-nationalist supporters. It might not play well in Italy, either, to see Alfa Romeo and Maserati answering to Wuhan instead of Turin — though Automotive News said they might be spun off separately. Yet, as Morgan Stanley observes, "cars don't ship across oceans easily," and political considerations increasingly demand local manufacture of valuable products.
Chrysler recalling 280k Dodge Ram 1500 pickups over axle seizures
Fri, Dec 19 2014Following a June investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will be recalling 280,000 Dodge Ram pickups from model year 2005. The issue, NHTSA told The Detroit News, centered on a loose pinion nut, which could cause the rear axle to seize and, potentially, the driveshaft to detach. The affected vehicles were built between January of 2004 and August of 2005, while of the 280,000 trucks, only 257,000 were sold in the US market. According to The News, the recall will begin on February 13, and will see owners report to dealerships to have "a retention feature" added to the pinion nut.
