It is a 1961 8 cyl., polara 500. Lancer Gt. 2 door hard top. The actual Mileage is unknown. The engine is believed to be a 383 cui. It was from the Jefferson assembly plant in Detroit MI. This is a very rare car. There is no title, this car was bought through a estate sale, you would have to apply for new title. We have no clue if this car can run or not. This does have power steering. Rust as expected for this old of a car and just sitting in a abandoned garage for 50 years, having said that the car seems to be very solid. The car comes as shown. This car renovated is close to or more than 70-90 grand. Feel free to message me for any additional questions. Shoot me your best offer asap!

suchan Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 One of the better early-60's Mopar designs. Ad reads like a script from one of those ghost-finder realty shows. Maybe, could be, etc. Not sure it's worth restoring, and if a restored car is actually worth what is claimed, a good way to flush $10K's down the toidy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Cool looking car but incomplete and in poor condition, no title, broken windshield, deteriorated interior and it says "rust as expected for this old of a car" (buyer should check the frame & floors). This car may be too far gone to restore and might be a parts car at best. It's not a Polara 500 or a Lancer GT either. Do these really sell for 70-90 grand when renovated? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingrudy Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Very attractive style IMO, but really an up hill climb. I would check parts availability for this car before anything else. I'm sure the Sheetmetal is one year only. Sure would be an cool car when restored. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 If all that external stainless trim is missing it might be a big problem, especially finding intact vintage 2-door hardtop pieces. And then you need to come up with mounting clips, sometimes you can make universal flat ones work but could require some oddball special shaped ones that might be unobtanium, necessary for proper attachment and a professional looking restoration. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 The guys that are asking 70 to 90 grand for these still have them. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Phillips Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 The seller lies about restored ones being worth $70,000-80,000, so what else is he lying about? Rare car, but way over-priced. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Just the sight of it makes me wretch a little. Geez, I thought these were god-awful looking. Virgil Exner, I guess, but to each his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 55er Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I wonder if this one will ever get restored or if it will be offered for sale again in the future in basically the same deteriorated condition it's in now with a higher price tag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingrudy Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Sure would like to see it restored. This is a car that you don't see very often. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
