Overall the Dodge is pretty clean and has 93,200 miles. The interior needs some work like front seat upholstery repair, carpet, sun visors and a headliner. It’s all there, but is beginning to deteriorate. |
The power is from a Poly 318 with a 600 cfm Edelbrock 4 bbl and a Weiand intake, electronic ignition and dual exhaust. Ive added a Mopar performance orange box ignition and distributor and a dual pot master cylinder since these photos were taken. |
The Polara gets driven regularly in good weather. The car has spent its entire life in the Salt Lake City area and originally came from Hinckley Dodge, a local dealer there. |
Future plans are to install a built 360 LA motor, upgrade the 1963 727 with a shift kit and 2400 stall convertor and 3.55 SureGrip center section for the 8 3/4 rear end. The interior will remain stock, as will the exterior (except for the Cragars and BFGs). New paint in the same color is also in the works.
