Location: Montreal, Canada | This car has been for sale for as long as I can remember. It is very nice, except for that awkward trim fitment on the door and front fender, on the driver's side. I still cannot understand why anyone would have done that in a restoration (moulding is way too high, and making a straight line with the rear quarter moulding, while they are correctly installed on the passenger side). |

Location: North Australia | Marc, you got the gold medal for finding hot FL Dodges. Pity I cant buy one. Please find me a cheap 60 Polara HT. Don't matter how many doors!
Steve.

| I think the horrid trim mounting would scare me away because the restorer is obviously clueless.
I hope he didn't drill holes and mount it like that. I mean weld the holes up and then put it on sideways? WTF.
That car sold for 225k? and they are offering at 129K We know whoever restored it was obviously an idiot but was it in a wreck?
Maybe not a true D500?

They probably used this promo as a reference for mounting the driver side moldings:

Location: So. Cal | Yeah the quarter trim is mostly right, but the door and fender trim is angled way up. They had to do this on purpose, but why is the question. I noticed on my New Yorker that the quarter trim angles down a lot more than the door and fender. Maybe they were trying to straighten it out, but they actually went even worse with it in the other direction. Makes it look freaky. |

| Do they have the CHS build card ? Unless I saw a build card, I would not believe that it is a true Super D500............ Is there a different designated number/letter on the block ? |

According to the trim plate, this is a true Super D500 Coronet convertible. |
