Dodge Polara 1968 Description
You are buying a 1968 Dodge Polara Nevada Highway Patrol Car.This is a REAL FACTORY POLICE CAR and has the "K" as the second letter of the VIN as well as "L" as the fifth showing it is a 440 TNT 375 HP car.The car is optioned kind of strangely with A/C, anual Steering, ower Disc Brakes, adio Delete, ear Window Defroster, eavy Duty Roof Reinforcement, nd Police Package.
This was an ORIGINAL Nevada Highway Patrol Car and was probably stripped of the police specific items (lights, adio, iren, ecals) when it was a couple years old and then sold to a private party. I know the history from when it was in Nevada after the sale until it was last driven in Arkansas in 1974 (when it was parked).
This is a great restoration project as it is fairly complete and only rusty in a few places. This car has not been in the road salt and the frame rails and basic structure of the car are very solid. The left quarter will need a lower patch panel but the right side looks fine. The trunk floor and quarter extensions will probably need replaced as well as the floor footwells under the original rubber floor mat. The grille, ail lights and bumpers all look very nice. The roof has some rust around the front and rear edges but it will not need a complete roof skin, ust some patch work. The original VIN and both Data Plates are correct and in very nice condition
I have confirmed the transmission is the NUMBERS MATCHING UNIT but the engine is not. It is however a 1968 440 with the correct date code, ust not the matching VIN. The engine is stuck from sitting and I am sure will need rebuilt but I do not see where it has ever blown up. The missing engine parts are not included but I have some of them available on a parts car.
The POLICE ONLY CERTIFIED SPEEDOMETER in Very Nice and the Fast Idle Lock that was used to idle the car up so it would not overheat while sitting with the A/C on is in place and nice.
We removed the gas tank as it was rusted on the bottom (and smelled real bad) but I did save the filler tube. Replacement tanks are available but not the tube. All the glass is very nice with the exception of the windshield. I have the rear seat out of the car but it is included. The rear seat belts have never been taken out of their plastic covers and are are LIKE NEW.
I have included a picture of the way the car would have looked when new.
This is a RARE CHANCE to own a REAL Nevada Highway Patrol Car (like the ones used in the original Vanishing Point movie) as I have never seen another come up for sale as a project.
The car rolls and steers great and would be no issue to load on a trailer.
I do not have a title but a notorized bill of sale will be included. I can get a title but it will cost about 300.00 and take 3 - 4 weeks.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND INTERESTED PARTIES CALL ME TO AVOID ANY CONFUSION.
