I am hoping to see if anyone may know where my Polara ended up.
But first a ltitle history.
Unfortunately between 1992 and 1998 my first wife and I were going through a divorce.
I found out she was not making the house payments and the mortgage company was foreclosing on the house. So I panicked and the only thing I had worth selling was my Polara.
I made a deal with my sister and brother in law to sell it to them as a secure loan and I would buy it back when I could. Big mistake.....He more than tripled the amount he had bought it for from me. I could never afford to buy it back.
So sometime maybe around 1996-97 he sold it. I had heard from my dad he traded it for some computer stuff from a guy in Reno.
Now to the car. 1964 Polara 500 with a stock 426 wedge, chrome air cleaner and valve covers. Automatic with the console shift. It was a maroon color with a black vinyl top.
The front bucket seats were not stock, someone had put in some hi-backs.
The paint was bad, the vinyl top was coming apart. The car needed work. The motor was getting tired (smoked badly).
The last time my dad had seen it, it was parked in the front yard of my sisters on Cathy lane in Minden, NV with a for sale sign on it.
I only have the California license plate number to indentify it by as I cannot find any paperwork for the car since the divorce.
The CA license plate was "426OMPH" which was my custom plate for the car.
I have no idea if my brother in law sold or traded the car with the plates, but he did have at least a registration for it which would call out the vin and license number.
So maybe someone on this forum may have seen it and or picked it up.
Thanks, God Bless America
