Description of 1967 Dodge Polara 500

..Selling with No Reserve!!Hello I'm selling "The Banana Boat". She is a 1967 Dodge Polara 500 Convertible (One of a total of 838 built that year). I bought her 8 months ago as a winter project. I love the car but I have too many projects right now so one of them needs to go. She is a former show car and has half a dozen badges in the glove box from car shows that she has been at. I am an honest individual and I am going to list every good thing and every bad thing that I know about the car. This way there will be no surprises when you pick it up. Look at my eBay feedback and you will see that I am a honest seller. It has a clean Missouri title. The odometer shows less than 80k miles which I believe to be correct but themileagewasn't recorded on the currant title so it can't be recorded as actual miles on a new title.Here is a recent listing for a 1968 Polara Convertible that sold for $20800http://www.ebay.com/itm/261866381129?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AITSearch on YouTube for "1967 Dodge Polara 500" by Land Sharkand you will find arecent video of this car's exterior as well as a video of the car running. The previous owner had her ready for paint and then something happened. Maybe a death?She is in yellow primer now and is almost ready for that new paint job (original color was red). I believe she has been in primer for about 4 years. Since that time she hasreceiveda couple minor dings that will need to be addressed before paint (dent in ridge of hood and other very minor dings). She is 95% RUST FREE!! She had to have spent most of her life in a garage. The only rust I have found is a rusted out muffler and evidence of a front floor repair. This car being nearly rust free is one of the biggest reasons that I bought her as that isEXTREMELYRARE here in theMidwest. All the trim is in the trunk (Dodge Name x2 Polara Name x2 500 badge x1 and working trunk lock). The other reason that I bought her was because she has a brand new interior. Thousands of dollars have been spent on this newinteriorthat includes all new seatupholstery carpet and door panels. She couldbenefitfrom a new dash due to cracks but she has a nice dash cover that hides most of that. The only other thing theinteriorreally needs is some attention to all the dials and switches as they are showing some age (no longer show worthy). She isequippedwith air conditioning and the blower blows but no further testing has been performed. She also has a AM radio that doesn't seem to work (maybe just a fuse?)I just installed a brand new windshield last week!!When I got her she hadn't ran in 10+ years. I started by pulling the gas tank and cleaning it out. All the rubber fuel lines have been replaced. I put two new fuel filters on and I replaced the fuel pump. She fired right up at that point. The headers started to smoke and I found the valve covers leaking oil on both sides. I pulled the valve covers and found the gaskets inhorribleshape. I replaced them with rubber gaskets and painted the valve covers in the exact same special Mopar blue color that she came with from the factory. She has been given an oil change new spark plugs new air cleaner new distributorcap and rotor. After getting her running I found that she had no brakes. I initially thought it was a bad booster/master brake cylinder so I replaced them but it made nodifference. I pulled the brake drums and started fixing problems. There was a lot of evidence ofleakingbrake cylinders so I have replace all four of them.In factI have since replaced about 80% of the entire brake system. I just had her into the shop to bleed the entire brake system and adjust the pads (The mechanics loved the car). The tires are brand new Cooper Cobra Radial Gt'sin size 235/70R15 from Discount Tire. They have more of a muscle car look that I like. I LOVE THEM !!! (I have since put another set of them on another car). The tires are on the factory wheels that I painted in Satin Black and added chrome lug nuts. There is a set of hub caps in the trunk that were on the car but I don't know if they are original. I also have 1 1/2 inch wheel spacers on all four wheels. This gets rid of most of the fender gap with a big improved on stance. Some people don't feel that wheel spacers are safe but I've have had them on half a dozen cars and 4x4's without any problems but they could easily be removed. Since doing all the repairs I haven't drove her more than a coupe times around the block. I'm sorry but I am too paranoid that I am going to wreck her after putting so much work into thisbeauty. Since full testing has not been performed I recommend shipping the car or bringing a trailer. The great thing is if you ship the car I am sitting in the middle of the country so your not looking at a high cost to shipwhereveryou are. Known issues- Needs Paint and a couple small body dings fixed.- Needs a New Convertible Top (Present one has a small holeright above the drivers seat and other cosmetic issues).- Driver side mirror glass is broken.- Muffler is full of rust holes and needs replacement.- Rear drivers side taillight has a crack right down the middle which might be reparable.- Missing a rear back-up light bucket and the lens that mounts in the bumper.I require a non-refundable $500depositvia Paypal with-in 48 hours of auction end. I will need thebalanceowed paid with a bank cashiers check with-in 2 weeks of close of auction.I will store the car for 2 weeks from the end of the auction at no cost so you can arrange pick-up. After 2 weeks there will be a charge of $10 per week for storage fee's. I work from home so I have a veryflexibleschedule and will be available for pick-up almost any time or day of the week. Feel free to email me with any questions that you have but I will be out of town May 28th- May 31st so there may be a delay in me responding. Thanks!! p.s. Take a look at the last picture to see a 1968 Polara in the same original paint color that this car came with (I think she really needs to go back to her original red color).
