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.

2015 Dodge Viper getting small increase in power

Tue, 29 Jul 2014

The Viper is used to being the most powerful car in the Dodge and SRT stables, but the arrival of the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat means that's no longer the case. The serpentine supercar is, however, reportedly getting a small boost in output for 2015, amounting to all of five horsepower.
The increase was uncovered by Road & Track courtesy of the SAE J1349 certification process to which Detroit's Big Three automakers submit themselves and which reports the Viper's output at 645 hp instead of the 640 it was rated at until now. There are a hundred factors that could have contributed to the relatively mild boost in output (best guess? nothing at all changed...), but we doubt anyone's going to complain about some extra horses under the hood.
The five-horsepower boost brings the Viper that much closer to the 650-hp Chevy Corvette Z06, not to mention the 707-hp Hellcat, but the Viper's impressive power-to-weight ratio ought to mean it'll have little problem keeping up in a straight line - which is just one of the reasons why Chrysler won't shoe-horn the Hellcat into the Viper: as R&T points out, the supercharged engine is too heavy and the blower makes it too tall to fit in the Viper's engine bay.

Dodge, Jeep and Ram could soon be owned by Chinese automakers

Mon, Aug 14 2017

For the past several years, Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has made it widely known that the automaker he helms is up for grabs. First, he sent an email to GM CEO Mary Barra, who immediately refused to even discuss a merger. Later, Marchionne set his sights on Volkswagen. That too was swiftly rebuffed. It seemed like no global automaker was remotely interested in a partnership. Now, Automotive News reports that several Chinese automakers have come calling, only FCA isn't ready to answer. At least not yet. The news broke this morning that a major Chinese automaker had made an offer to purchase FCA for slightly above market value. FCA refused, saying the offer wasn't quite generous enough. It's unclear which automaker made the offer, but Automotive News says there's more than one interested party. FCA representatives have recently traveled to China to meet with Great Wall Motors, while Chinese representatives were seen at FCA corporate headquarters in Auburn Hills, Mich. The Chinese government has a lot of money invested in local automakers. It's putting pressure on these automakers to expand globally, including to the United States. As it stands, it's a matter of when a Chinese automaker will start selling cars here, not if. Purchasing an established automaker with a wide range of products and a huge dealer network would do wonders in giving the Chinese a foothold here. Sure, Geely owns Volvo, but a luxury automaker doesn't have nearly as much reach as a more mainstream company like FCA. This seems like the best case scenario for both a Chinese automaker looking to move into the U.S. and for FCA, at least from a business standpoint. The latter doesn't seem to have any other interested parties. It will be interesting to see how FCA would sell a deal like this to the public. We're not sure everyone will be happy with Dodge, Jeep and Ram falling under Chinese ownership. FCA didn't turn down the Chinese because they didn't like the idea. It turned down the offer because there wasn't enough money on the table. Related Video: News Source: Automotive News Earnings/Financials Alfa Romeo Chrysler Dodge Fiat Jeep RAM

Dodge rolls out Shaker package for 2015 Challenger

Mon, Feb 16 2015

Having an awesome Hemi engine under the hood can deliver impressive performance, but for those who lament not being able to see that big V8 engine doing its thing, hidden away under the hood, Dodge offers the Shaker hood on its Challenger muscle car. And it's just released the option for the updated 2015 model. Now available on two engines and three trim levels – including the Challenger R/T and R/T Plus with the 5.7-liter V8 and the 6.4-liter Challenger 392 – the new Shaker hood brings cold air into the engine compartment and lets everyone see that V8 (or at least an appendage thereof) shaking away in plain view. Arriving 45 years after the original Shaker Challenger, the package includes a satin black hood scoop, cold-air intake, conical air filter and optimized air box, along with Shaker graphics inside, out and under the hood. The 2015 Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker and R/T Plus Shaker are available to order now, priced at $35,495 and $38,495, respectively (plus a $995 destination charge), and come bundled with the Super Track Pak. Order books open in March for the 392 HEMI Shaker, which also comes with the Scat Pack, for $42,495 (plus destination and $1,000 gas-guzzler tax if equipped with the manual transmission).
