Gee why am I not shocked? Total BS. The car is listed in Darrell's book as a 63 Polara 500 convertible max wedge,if the VIN is correct. That makes it a rare car and if it is all there and restored, might fetch 175K today. But NO Polara 500 was availalbe with the aluminum front end. I also would have loved to see the motor.

It was pulled by my employee because he didn't have the paperwork at the warehouse and couldn't reach me, i have a pretty good collection of 60's & 70's race cars and muscle cars and never want to misrepresent anything to anyone,when i saw this forum and read what was said i was amazed how people can be like this, one guy said i was giving weed with it, i see he has a 70 roadrunner and i don't, maybe i collect all the wrong cars, can't wait for these guys to really do the right research and it will come out, thanks for your post!!!

If it is real you have a one of a kind car and I would love to see it and you should have no issue than about posting the article and documentation. I know if I had this car I would be shouting from the roof and showing the paperwork. If I am wrong I apologize, but I have never heard of this car nor has anyone that I respect as an early Mopar authority. Darrell Davis' Dodge 426 Ramcharger book for 1963, shows no Polara 500 of any style built with the alumimum front end. I am sure he would like to know about this car.

The weed comment was about the asking price in this market ..I Never said any thing about the car or your paperwork provence to prove what you have..To you I am sure it is worth you asking $500,000 I just do not see it selling for any near where Half Million Dollars in this economy..Half Million Dollar cars are Sold at auctions like Barrett-Jackson that is where the DEEP pocket buyers goes. I had GG look at my 70RR too !!!..I said it was my .02 cents...Opinions are like ******** every body has one..:eusa_think: Rick

Another example of "never say never" I don't believe there is any mopar books out there with exact and accurate numbers on production numbers, cars, etc. Too many different people's hands in stuff over the years. Just because it might not show up in some guy's book, doesn't mean it may not exist. Seems there is cars always surfacing that were never made, and many can be authenticated. I learned years ago, never say never when it comes to Mother Mopar....

Half a mil?
Let's see... I could buy one each of my favorite cars; another restored numbers matching A12 69 Superbee, a 70 Hemi Roadrunner, a 68 Hemi Charger an ACR Viper.
And a few acres and a new shop to park them in.
I think you'd have to really really love that particular car and have way too much money to invest to seriously consider that max.

"And a few acres and a new shop to park them in."
Maybe in Texas. 500K MIGHT buy the land and shop in California but then you wouldn't have anything to put in it. lol
Remember that there are guys out there who look at 500K as pocket change (some current political candidates come to mind). I, for one, don't blame the OP for ASKING that much. Wouldn't we do the same thing if WE were the owner?

Was this car raced by Dan Dvorak? It sure looks like his car. If it is its uncut and has a long and storied race history by a legendary racer.

I am sure you are correct about values in CA, but just a few miles from my place here in north Texas there is land for sale at less than $900 an acre...
And of course anyone can ask whatever they want for anything. Speaking of which, I am willing to part with a donor rusty slant 6 auto Coronet 440 with no engine or trans for $99,000.00 I will take $98,600.00 if I can keep the door regulators.
