No Reserve: 1966 Dodge Polara Convertible

This 1966 Dodge Polara convertible is finished in light green over black vinyl upholstery and is powered by a 383ci V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a black convertible top, Mopar hood scoops, an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, 15″ Torq Thrust wheels, a Secretaudio stereo, a heater, power steering, and dual exhaust outlets. The car was acquired by the seller after being offered on BaT in May 2021. The steering wheel, console, taillights, and carpets were replaced and a transmission fluid cooler was installed during current ownership. This Polara convertible is now offered at no reserve with manufacturer’s literature and Rhode Island registration.

Polara 500 badging is present on the fenders. The seller reports that a hole in the convertible top has been repaired.

A three-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel frames a 120-mph speedometer with an inset fuel-level gauge as well as auxiliary gauges and an aftermarket tachometer. The seller states the fuel gauge functions intermittently. The five-digit odometer shows 66k miles, approximately 500 of which were added by the seller. Total mileage is unknown.

The fender-mounted trim tag notes options and the body, trim, and paint codes decode as follows:

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

The car does not have a title as it is registered in a state which does not issue titles for vehicles of its age. It is being sold on its Rhode Island registration.
