1966 Dodge Polara Convertible

A Alumni

Bid to $26,500 on 5/28/21

This 1966 Dodge Polara convertible is powered by a 383ci V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission and is finished in light green over a black vinyl interior. Features include a black convertible top, Torq Thrust wheels, a Secretaudio stereo, a heater, power steering, and dual exhaust outlets. The car was refurbished under previous ownership including a repaint, upgraded suspension components, and the installation of a replacement water pump, ignition system, and an Edelbrock carburetor. This Polara convertible is now offered with manufacturer’s literature and a clean Georgia title in the seller’s name.

Delivered from the factory in Light Green Metallic (FF), the car was refinished under previous ownership and features a power-retractable black convertible top, chrome bumpers and side moldings, quad headlights, and dual exhaust outlets. Polara 500 badging is present on the fenders. The seller reports that a hole in the convertible top has been repaired and that a spare convertible top is included in the sale.

American Racing 15″ Torq Thrust wheels wear faux knock-off spinners and 245/60 BFGoodrich Radial T/A white-letter tires. Power steering is fitted along with power-assisted front disc brakes. The seller notes that an upgraded sway bar and shock absorbers have been added. A spare tire is located in the trunk, which has been refinished and also includes patterned floor lining, a fire extinguisher, and a CD changer.

The interior features front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in black vinyl with matching door panels and carpets, the latter of which are protected by rubber floor mats. Aluminum trims the dashboard and center console, and equipment includes an AM radio, a heater, and a Bluetooth-capable Secretaudio stereo located in the locking glove compartment.

The two-spoke steering wheel frames a 120-mph speedometer with an inset fuel-level gauge as well as auxiliary gauges and an aftermarket tachometer. The five-digit odometer shows 65k miles, approximately 500 of which were added by the seller in the past six months. Total mileage is unknown.

The 383ci V8 routes power to the rear wheels through a three-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission and a 3.23:1 limited-slip differential. The engine was reportedly overhauled under previous ownership, and it is equipped with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and an electric choke. The air cleaner was refurbished with custom air induction tubes. March 2021 services are said to have consisted of replacing the water pump and power steering pump.

Further services completed under previous ownership include replacement of the ignition system and horns, along with the installation of an upgraded transmission cooler with an electric fan.

The fender-mounted trim tag notes options such as a center console, bucket seats, a remote driver-side mirror, an AM radio, and an automatic transmission. The body, trim, and paint codes break out as follows:

DL27 – Polara two-door convertible
L5X – Black vinyl interior
FF1 – Light Green Metallic with a black vinyl top
