63 POLARA 500 CONVERTIBLE

That will be a nice ride. It looks to be all there. How bad is the rust underneath?

How big is that winch you have on the trailer?

There is o through rust according to the seller. It appears to be very straights outside of the minor dents in the pass side fender/ headlight areas but it comes with a perfect pass fender, extra hood deck lid, rechromed bumpers and more.

I have no idea on the winch. I have a nice car hauler, so this one is coming home, getting cleaned/ painted and sold to offset the cost of the car and buy a Max wedge scoop, max wedge manifold/ carbs ect.

I took tomorrow off and am working right now, off at midnight then an hour drive home. So I will grab a few hours sleep and head 422 miles to grab it. I have been doing the Mopar thing for lots of years but am new to the 63 64 era cars. I am taking my 17 year old daugter and best friend with me. We can them MOPAR ADVENTURES.

I will post more pics when I get it home or maybe from the ole smart phone.

thanks for the feed back.

Not the same color or body, but this is my 63 Polara:

Looks like it's in darn good shape for a vert. I would fix it up for your daughter and keep it in the family.

I just saw the for sale ad this morning... but then I saw it was sold. I'd say you scored big time! Good luck with it!

 

[RUMBLON]

Well, I posted a ? In another thread, buy the color is "yy" which I am told is brown metallic . It also has a second inlay color in between the chrome, that almost looks silver.

I'm very very happy with it.

What a car! Externally looks to be in great shape, and you got LOTS (maybe all?) of the hard/expensive to replace stuff with it. A 383 powered Polara 500 'vert? Top of the line! Didnt get any better than that for Dodge b-bodies in '63 (well, except the Maxies....)

I'd love to see this one get cleaned up and come together like it deserves!

 

[RUMBLON]

well, Im home with my new car. here are a few more pics, some old, some in transit and newer.

I LOVE this car and am doing it brown and white, just as it was. I think the white inlay will look great, when restored.

63 convertibles are really really nice cars. When you are done with it, it will be a great car.

Dodge500, yours is a beauty!! I just got home today. My wife loves the car, BUT she wants it BLACK with a red interior! Im perplexed.

I'd definetly suggest sticking with the original colors! How many black 62-65s are out there? An awful lot more than the fawn/tan/whatever the name was for the color on your Polara. My Polara hardtop was the same color; still is under the couple cheapo repaints. I'm definetly redoing mine the same color; if I ever feel like putting a shine over the primer!

Congrats again; looks like a great score!
