1972 Dodge Polara Custom 4-door hardtop 360 V8, automatic transmission, 46,375 original miles No Reserve Up for bid is an all original 1972 Dodge Polara Custom 4-door pillarless hardtop, with a 360 V8 and automatic transmission. She runs and drives really well, and gets plenty of attention. I acquired the car from the grandson of the original owner. I think it would be difficult to find another 42 year old car that is this original. She has the original paint, vinyl top, interior, engine, and only has 46,375 original miles. The 360 runs quite well, although she smokes a bit on start up but that clears up soon. All mechanicals are in good order, the only thing non-working is the air conditioning. She has been in Macon, Georgia most of her life; the paperwork shows some mechanical work done on her in Atlanta in early 2000s. The body is wearing the original paint, and it shines well. There are a few small dents, please see the photos for most of them. There is a scuff on the right front lower fender, in front of the door. Also, the front lower valence was damaged at some point, and was repaired with some pop-rivets and an old for sale sign. It is not very noticeable from the outside, please look at the photo for more detail. Some of the DODGE letters are missing on the front. The original vinyl top is nice, except for the area under the rear window. The car was kept in a carport for most of her life and as a result has been preserved. There is no rust anywhere on the body. The trunk has some rust stain under the rubber mat, but appears very solid. All windows roll down easily, giving that terrific hardtop look. Everyone who sees this car is amazed that this is the original paint. The interior is almost perfect. The front seat drivers side bottom was repaired at a local shop some time long ago, it is a slight different shade green. I don't know why it was repaired, as the rest of the interior is spotless. The dome light lens is missing. The original two-latch seatbelts work fine. All the instruments and gauges work, even the original am radio. The windshield wiper switch was replaced back in 2003, yet is very sensitive. That is, it has to be just right to switch off. Overall, the interior is close to showroom. I've tried to be as comprehensive with my description as possible, I've pointed out all the cars faults that I'm aware of. I may have made her sound worse than she is, I'd rather the next caretaker to be pleasantly surprised how nice she really is, rather than surprised in a bad way. Please let me know if you have any questions, and I will do my best to answer. I am located in the middle of Georgia, just above Macon, just off of Interstate 75. I have a clear Georgia title on her in my name, and she is registered, tagged, and insured in my name. This is a no reserve auction, so please bid intentionally and responsibly. I am needing to scale back on the number of old cars that I own, so I hope the Polara can go to a good home. Thank you for looking, and let me know if you need anymore information.On Jun-03-14 at 12:49:43 PDT, seller added the following information: I forgot to include two details: In reference to the photo of the steering column damage, someone had tried to steal the car many years ago while she was parked in her garage. They only succeeded in breaking the cover, exposing the wires. Please see the photo. Also, the clock does not work. If I remember any other details, I will post them. Thank you for all the interest.
