This was someones failed project. It appears that they were trying to make one out of two. I bought it for $1500 to get a LF fender and trim that came with it. The fenders in the pics are still on the car. Lot of stuff here... What appears to be 2 or 3 cars worth of trim. Some Polara, some may...

Trying to remove the park cable from my 64 Polara parts car. Is there a tool to release where the pushbutton end is "crimped" to the assembly? I don't mind mangling the donor but if I decide to put it in my good car I'll need a better solution. Thx. Bernie

Well been looking for Rotella 15w-40 and there ain't none available. Just got back from grocery shopping and can't get salad greens. Out of my cats favorite brand too. I have to agree with Joe Biden... Lets Go Brandon!

Just finished reassembly of fresh shortblock, heads were inspected by machinist, no issues. 440 +.030, 9.3/1 compression ratio, 452 stock heads, Mopar HP exhaust manifolds, 2 1/4" pipes, 484/284 purple shaft, Holley 750 Vac secondary, Mopar dual plane aluminum intake, 727, Dana 60 3:54/1...

Have asked everywhere and never got a definite answer as to why my 440 would smoke, only at idle when hot. It ran great, had 165+ lbs. compression. Had a few folks say they thought it was valve seals, others a leaky valley pan. I put a new pan in it and resealed the intake a year ago. End of...

Installing a refreshed short block in my 440. The oil pump shaft was scored where it runs on the bronze bushing so I bought a new one from Melling. I used the old one to make an oil pump priming tool, cut off the gear and welded a longer shaft on it to chuck up in the drill. Noticed that the...

Recently discovered that A&A Transmission sells a MW type cross ram for a 440 and also has MW style exhaust manifolds available. Thinking about trying to create a "tribute" Max Wedge motor out of my Magnum clone motor. It has 452 heads, purple shaft 284/484 cam, approx 9.3/1 compression. It has...

The tail light thread has confused me again. (Not too hard to do...) My car has triple taillights, bench seat, typewriter shift and what looks to me like the 500 trim package with nothing saying "500". Is it just a "Polara"?

Have to take the time to give big thanks to tnfastback for the tip on the 64 Polara parts car. If you are not aware, I hit a deer in my driver and tore up the left front fender, hood and trim. Found a few parts on ebay, couldn't find the top trim piece anywhere. The car tnfastback found was in...

WTB 64 Polara LF fender, fender trim, headlight trim. If you have any of these, please PM me. Thanks, Bernie

As if 2020 didn't suck bad enough already. Coming home from my sons house tonight I saw a deer in my headlights. Hammered the brakes but I was crying before I hit it. If I can ever get the parts to put this car back together I will NEVER drive it after dark again.

Ok, I have a smoking problem. 440 does NOT smoke when cold, period. Does not smoke on startup. At all. Has 165-175 lbs. compression on all 8. Smokes at IDLE ONLY, when HOT only. If I hammer it it DOES NOT VISIBLY SMOKE. Hot or cold, riding down the street, no visible smoke. Highway, no...

Always liked the Super Stock look in the 60's Mopars, so I decided to put a scoop on the car. At the suggestion of a few folks on here, rather than sticking one on my pristine genie steel hood, I bought one with a scoop installed. I was pretty disappointed with the fit. The front edge was...

I am kinda wanting a scoop on my pristine 64 Polara hood. The car is a 440 pushbutton 727, Dana 60 but not a race car, pretty docile setup. It will however flame the tires just by stepping hard on the pedal. Always have loved the Max Wedge cars though (thus my screen name...). So what do you...

I have loved "hot rods", muscle cars, performance vehicles since I was in elementary school but I never owned one until last May. I retired and treated myself to my 64 Polara. Its a 440, Pushbutton 727. Dana 60 .354. The previous owner evidently never attempted high performance, he had 6 classic...

I have a very nice running 440 in my Polara. It was "built to Magnum spec" per previous owner. I have a buttload of receipts that go back to 1998, two owners ago. One group of receipts come from Performance Automotive Warehouse and includes a "cam P4120235" which when Googled says a Mopar purple...

Ok I know this is a well covered subject and have read many posts. Here's mine. Have a 440 with a Mopar dual plane aluminum intake. I have had an oil consumption issue that shows up as oil smoke at idle and low speeds when very warm/hot. Compression is 165-170 on all 8 holes. Does NOT smoke when...

Planning to upgrade from an Eddy 600. What would you do, 64 Polara, 440, 9.4/1 comp ratio, Magnum exhaust manifolds, Mopar aluminum dual plane, 484/284 Purple cam, 452 heads, 354 Dana, 727 pushbutton, shift kit. 750 DP or vacuum secondaries?

So I hope to do some performance stuff. When I bought the car a couple of months ago it was pretty, but had some issues. Lousy idle due to intake vacuum leaks, heater would not shut off, overheating at idle, leaking trans at parking cable. Nothing serious, just aggravating. Now that it is...

Bought this car near Chicago six weeks ago and trailered it home to Northeast Tennessee. It is beautiful but had some driveabilty issues, including a heater that stayed hot, a charging system that wouldnt charge, a vacuum leak making it idle rough and a cooling system that didnt cool. I put a...
