Vehicle Description
This 1962 Dodge Polara 500 convertible is the seldom-seen muscle
car you've been looking for. From the awesome color combo to the
upgraded 440 Six Pack under the hood, it's everything you want in a
cut-above classic power drop-top.
This was the era when the Mopars looked like nothing else on the
road. It combined the rounded styling of the revolutionary turbine
cars and the square-jaw toughness that would make their upcoming
muscle cars so aggressive. But there's more here than just
intimidation. The deep red has a nice luster in the sunlight, and
it makes for a great backdrop for the wraparound chrome bumpers,
distinctive grille, and awesomely intricate one-year-only rear end.
And the red streak of the full-length trim and white convertible
top are some tasteful touches of color.
Since we like the look of the red and white accent on the outside,
we love the look of the two-tone red and white interior. This
Polara has the size that makes it easy to share with family and
friends, and it has the vintage style to impress them all. You see
it everywhere from the beautifully unique steering wheels to the
working courtesy lights in the rear. This has the right cruiser
features like a power convertible top and an upgraded
AM/FM/cassette radio. And the power driver's bucket reminds you
who's the priority in this Dodge. There's a large Mopar tach on the
dash, a matching oil pressure readout under the dash, and a Hurst
Pro-Matic 2 shifter in the center console. It's all there to signal
something extra special under the hood.
Those who know Mopars look for a few big motor Polaras that were
the street kings of their day. This one upgrades that attitude. The
big 440 cubic-inch V8 was still a few years away in 1962, and these
never got the famous triple set of dual-barrel carbs. But this one
rectified it with the big motor and a Six Pack on top. The air
grabber proudly announces this in the tidy engine bay, and so it's
easy to show off this almighty powerhouse. It fires up with a sweet
rumble as long tube headers feed the dual exhaust. And when you
want to really let the big block growl, a set of cutouts bypass the
mufflers. The stout A727 Torqueflite three-speed automatic
transmission knows how to handle the power while delivering smooth
shifts. And power steering, power brakes, and wide BF Goodrich T/As
on upgraded Torq Thrust wheels make this muscle Mopar an all-around
solid cruiser.
This Dodge has distinction....and there's rarity in that, too, with
Chevy making about twelve times more Impala drop-tops than there
were Polara convertibles. So when you have rarity, distinction, and
power, you know it's an irresistible classic. Call today!!!
