The mid-'60s brought fantastic news to Polara fanboys. The yearly sales were rising, and Chrysler tried to refine the lineup with subtle changes to avoid impacting Polara's je ne sais quoi.
The new generation debuted in 1965 with the car available as a four-door sedan and hardtop, a two-door hardtop and convertible, and a four-door station wagon. Dodge decided to stick with the popular engine choices, including the 383 with 270 horsepower. The company offered a 3-speed manual transmission as standard equipment, but a 3-speed automatic and a 4-speed manual joined the lineup as options.
The 1966 model year witnessed several minor upgrades, including a power top for the convertible version. The Polara 500 also joined the lineup with an increased appetite for performance, spoiling buyers with upgrades like bucket seats.
The 2-door hardtop that you see in these photos made its way to Craigslist earlier this week specifically to search for a new home. A four-door sibling stole the owner's heart and love, so the 2-door hardtop spent the last few years undriven. It's unclear if the car has been sleeping under the clear sky, but its condition is still very good.
However, the vehicle comes with many mysterious tidbits, and one of the first questions you should ask concerns the condition of the undercarriage. Considering the Polara hasn't moved in years, I wouldn't be surprised to see the floors already wrecked. However, the owner says the car "has rust in some places," so contact them for additional information.
It's unclear if something big is missing, but the Polara still looks mostly complete. One photo reveals a bunch of boxes in the back, so maybe the car comes with extras that would help you with the restoration.
The engine under the hood is also a mysterious tidbit you can't decrypt without contacting the owner. It's unknown if you can jump behind the wheel and drive the Polara, but considering it's been sitting for several years, you should assume that the engine needs fixes.
The best way to determine all specifics on this otherwise intriguing Polara is to go and see it in person. The car is located in Moses Lake, and you'll probably need a trailer to take it home if you reach a deal.
The owner doesn't have a price in mind, so you can negotiate if you believe the Polara deserves a second price. It all depends on its condition, as the car looks good in the provided photos, but given so many critical tidbits are missing, you'll probably be able to correctly assess its actual value after the in-person inspection.
A Polara can start at approximately $2,000 if the car is in horrible shape and go up to $50K if it already shines like a diamond.
