It's incredible that this car survived to this day intact.
I would have thought that, when this was worth far less, that the engine - or at least the manifolds - would have found their way to a 2-door hardtop or convertible that someone was building-up.

This car is very similar to Larry Jett's former DART D500 4-dr sedan, which has the tan interior, and
which sold for $25K at the B-J, in 2007.

If I remember right, this one came from Colorado via an auction house before it landed north of the border a couple of years ago .

No, no. Not the exhaust manifold elbow. The two steel pre-bent heater hose tubes that route the heater hoses under the intake manifolds.

2 metal pre-bent hoses go under the intake cross rams, they goto the waterpump and the other end goto the heater outlets on the firewall.

Yea, that's the car! Just after the ad that showed those pics said sold, somebody in Canada was congratulating his friend on his purchase of a rare 61 Polara D500. I think it was ultimately sold the an auction somewhere but I just can't remember who. The auction details (if I'm not confusing other 61 Dodge D500's) said it was 1 of 2 4 dr's ordered with the D500 longrams. I'm sure Neil will correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks Neil!

I believe you that's what the auction said - there was more than two made however - It's still a rare car for sure

I wonder if he meant that was all he knew of. Who has the figures? How many were made?

Gotta dig out the books again, but I think there were 11 4dr Sedans (Polara) made with the D500 engine (2x4bbl 383)

There were a few hundred (still very rare) 4dr Sedans (Polara) made with the Polara D500 engine (1x4bbl 383)

Tow vehicle, or , maybe Daddy wants a runner, and/but Mommy needs a grocery getter/kiddee hauler,
so she lets him 'sleep' around.
