Subject: My 63 Polara 500
convertible
The tale of my Polara convertible. The car was
destined for the scrapyard when I intervened. There was no front end or hood.
I was able to secure the front half of a 63 Polara 4 door complete with 383
and transmission. The car does have an interior, two extra grilles and an
extra deck lid. Doors however... I got the car without doors and struggled to
find something, anything. I did locate a pair of 63 Fury convertible doors
complete but the owner wanted 400 each and that is just too much money. I then
managed to get two door shells from a 63 Polara convertible. Both were
drivers side. One door had no inner door frame. Neither had any guts at all.
The car wound up going to a friends house where I was
working off and on doing some Hot Rod work with him. He has a huge amount of
room and told me to keep the car there, until I got to it. While we were
sitting in his shop one day I started to look at his 1965 Dodge Coronet
altered wheelbase car. I said, you know what, I would swear that sitting here
looking up at your car that the doors look the same as the Polara. Nah,
couldn't be. I said let me grab the drivers door off the Polara and see if it
fits the Coronet. He said I will go you one better why not take the two full
doors from my 65 Coronet 2 door parts car and see if they will fit on
the Polara. He had kept a lot of stuff from his parts car and had it all
stored in his barn. We grabbed a passenger side door and took it to the
Polara. We placed the door up against the opening to see if it would fit and
without realizing we pushed and it clicked right in place latching on the door
catch. A prefect fit including body lines. Who knew that would work. My friend
said I can have the doors for all the extra stuff I have done for him. This
has me jazzed to do the car.
