THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION!! we just took this 1964 dodge polara convertible in on trade from a local customer that has owned and showed it for the last 9 years. the car is a very nice representation of the polara convertible, probably a 3 to 4 on the classic car grading scale. (below) Vehicle Condition 3 #3 cars could possess some, but not all of the issues of a #4 car, but they will be balanced by other factors such as a fresh paint job or a new, correct interior. #3 cars drive and run well, but might have some incorrect parts. These cars are not used for daily transportation but are ready for a long tour without excuses, and the casual passerby will not find any visual flaws. "Good" is the one word description of a #3 car. Vehicle Condition 4 #4 cars are daily drivers, with flaws visible to the naked eye. The chrome might have pitting or scratches, the windshield might be chipped. Paintwork is imperfect, and perhaps the fender has a minor dent. The interior could have split seams or a cracked dash. No major parts are missing, but the wheels could differ from the originals, or the interior might not be stock. A #4 car can also be a deteriorated restoration. "Fair" is the one word that describes a #4 car. The car Is quite showable with shiny red paint, a BRAND NEW convertible top ( receipt included) and nice bias ply redline tires. the interior is quite nice as well, not concourse nice, but local car show nice. it runs and drives very, very good with the push button torque flite trans working the way it should. this would be a GREAT investment and a true pleasure to drive around on a nice sunny day! there is evidence where during the older restoration there were patch panels welded in around the pass. rear wheel well. mutch better than bondo!! you have to look very closely and at an angle but you can see the individual weld spots where the new steel was put in. again, way better than if they would have bondo'd the car! all in all this is a very nice car that could be driven confidently to shows around the country. restoration done quite nicely, engine purrs like a kitten and it drives and shifts very , very nicely! the underneath is nothing to write home about. solid frame , but not show quality. just some old undercoating sprayed under it at some point in its life. the exterior and interior however is beautiful. i drove it up town and haven't had that many thumbs up since.....well....never. bid with confidence on this car as the high bidder will own it! we have changed all the fluids and the car will be ready to drive anywhere for the winning bidder! i work very, very hard on keeping my feedback 100% positive History of the 1962-1964 Dodge Polara Dodge’s 1962 model year is best known for its down-sizing, which was instantly apparent in the company’s Polara model. Dimensions for the Polara went from a 122” wheelbase and 212.5” length to a 116” wheelbase and 202” length, and sales suffered slightly despite entry prices being a bit more affordable. Standard power was provided by a 361-cid, 305-hp V-8 engine, with shifting duties handled by either a 3-speed, 4-speed, or Torqueflite automatic transmission. Body styles were limited to 2- and 4-door hardtops and a convertible. Despite what the lower sales figures might imply, there were advantages to the smaller cars. Curb weight dropped by more than 300 pounds and the car was available with 410- and 415-hp 413-cid Max Wedge V-8s, which could transform the Polara into a exceedingly fast car. This combination was duly noted by speed enthusiasts, as the Max Wedge Polara was put to use by police forces, NASCAR teams, and street racers alike. For 1963, the Polara was up-sized a bit to a 119” wheelbase in a bid to better compete against the larger competition. The cars’ bodies traded their exaggerated fender creases for a slight “cove” at the upper body. A pillared sedan and a new trim level with bucket seats also joined the lineup, and a full host of engines became available, from a standard 6-cylinder to 318-cid, 361-cid, and 383-cid motors. The high-revving and torquey 383 could either be ordered with 305 or 330 horsepower, with the latter being one of the best performance engines of its day. Most importantly for enthusiasts, though, Dodge introduced the famous Ramcharger 426-cid Stage III Wedge-head big-block with 425 horsepower. The engine, with a full race camshaft and state of tune, set many NHRA records—quarter-mile times were in the 12 second range with speeds near 120 mph. In 1964, this performance theme became even stronger for Dodge. The Ramcharger 426 Wedge returned this year, with up to 415 horsepower, and the famous 426 Hemi took its debut; rated at 425 horsepower, the engine actually produced more like 550 horsepower. Factory-backed Dodges dominated drag strips, and included the Ramcharger Team, Roger Lindamood’s “Color Me Gone” and “Dandy Dick” Landy. Cosmetically, styling changes on the 1964 Dodge Polara was largely confined to a new grille area. Today, this era of Polara is best remembered as a drag-strip super star. Max Wedge and Ramcharger Polaras are rare and command serious money, especially if they have documentation and race history. Cars with the 383 are much easier to locate and are easier to use on a regular basis. Considering that the styling of the 1962, 1963, and 1964 Polaras was slightly out of step with the direction Ford and GM designers took, these cars tend to stand out on the street, and ultimately represent a good value given their performance potential.
