Re: My '64 Polara Restored

[John Mopar <dodgepolara500@xxxxxxxxx>]

He did keep the original spinners. You can see there is another picture on the web site with the the original setup.

He kept everything stock. It is a numbers matching 383 4 barrel. The only deviation was the disc brake setup I installed. As we all know, driving these cars with the stock drum brakes is a death wish...

Very nice car.  But I think the original spinner hubcaps look better.  Hope the new owner didn't mess with the originality items so rare on these cars.
