The Dodge is amazingly solid for being a Michigan car; I can only guess it must have never been driven in the snow.
The Mopar made its way out to Oregon through its second owner who was using it as a daily commuter around town and for summer road trips to Alaska.
| I bought the car for a good price, becoming the car’s third owner. |  |
With the online help of Wally Breer (of the 1962-1965 Mopar Web Site’s Mail List Clubhouse), a destroyed 1964 Dodge Polara for a parts car, and a lot of careful measuring and welding, I transformed the four door into a 2 door post ride.
| My long term goal for the Dodge is to use it as an A990 tribute car. |  |
The Dodge is an ongoing process and now I am in the process of doing bodywork in prep for painting it dark blue metallic.
| Part of me doesn’t want to paint it at all: I like its rough look, reminds me of Frankenstein. |
