Only the Canadian '68 Dodges came with a slant 6, as if a/one actually would! I'd take a guess at 383. If the distributor's in front of the motor...383/440. At rear of motor....318.
@19522007 It's a 1968 Polara 500. I found the manual and the ownership. I'll look up the vin # on line and see if it can tell me anything about the specifics of the engine, like where it was built.
Car and Trucks are not the best things that can be found in Barns; like a Curtis Bi-Plane, Indian Motorcycle, Horse Drawn Carriage or Wagon, even good smelling Straw. Peace & Love
@artworkbykeith we found a old 1969 Ford Mustang Fastback in our barn it was almost in perfect shape it had its tag on it and the scary part was the car was a getaway car for someone
1968 Dodge Polara sedan. I would love to have one. That's the kind of car you cruise to the bowling alley on a saturday night with 3 of your good friends.
Wow, that is in great condition compared to many other cars that have been sitting outdoors. I would definetly encourage selling the whole car to someone who can restore it, not just for parts. In fact, by the looks of it, the car would be an easy project! Good luck.
We had a cream colored 1964 Plymouth Fury I, one of the fastest little cars my Dad owned. It had a 318 cubic inch engine in it. (I think) I was too young to dirve it.
my dad had an old plymouth fury that he bought for 200 bucks. drive it for about 10 years with me driving it on the weekends and never touched a wrench the whole time he had it. got t-boned in the passenger door and sold it for 200 bucks.
Please tell me you kept this car,you could easily get it fixed up enough to where you could drive it yourself, I mean really??? a free car??? why sell it? especially a classic!?
it hasnt been sitting that long, 1973 plates can still be used today and I use them on my 70 olds. they didnt use plates for one year, u should be old enough to know that.
You must have a fairly dry climate there. The car looks sound and you have a lot to work with if your thinking of doing it up. I assume you would have checked out the body etc to see if its worth working on. Just for fun ring round around a few wreckers. Start looking for parts on the internet. This starts to give you ideas on cost and then upto you. if you cant work on it maybe sell it to a restorer? that way it gets a second life :)
sell parts on ebay, what r u retarded or something you obviously dont know what you have, id kill for that car, and what do u mean rough shape thats the best condition i could imagine for sittin for 30 some odd years. keep it that car is worth more than what you think or e-mail me
@TheMr72dodgedart - I had an automatic 1967 Dodge Dart Scamp 2 Door with white bucket seats and a shifter in the centre console. It was fire engine Red and had a vinyl black top.
I blew the engine out of it racing my brother who was driving our Dad's 1971 Ford LTD, The most fun car I ever owned next to the 1975 Dodge Duster that I owned a few years later. The thing they had in comon was that good ole slant six engine.
My dad shopwed me how to strip down the engine and re-build it .
@BeetleBerlin The writers of that show were no nothing idiots (when it came to cars) The used that stupid line about Dodge's & the actual car that Al Bundy drove was a Plymouth Duster.
To give you all an idea of how long this car has been sitting, here's a bit of history of the Ontario license plates on it. Ontario used to issue new license plates every year until 1973, when they changed to the sticker program. The '73 plates were valid through 1981, when they were replaced by the same looking plate, just without the 73 on them.
The rear plate should have a sticker on it with the last year the plate was valid. That would be the best bet of how long the car has been sitting.
wow. i cant believe how lucky you are to have it just left there. i'd be freakin out over that. that old beauty has been waiting all these years for you to come along and restore her. please dont part it out. her life is in your hands.
im pretty sure what you have is the 1968 polara. as for the 1964 they only have 1 headlight on each side and this one has 2 on each side. the 67 also had 2 on each side but in 1967 the center of the hood dropped down about 2 inches in the front. tihs body didnt come until 1968. i think it has the 383 in it. correct me if im wrong please
Hello! Keith, I'm looking for both back rear Quater panel! the top part above the tires,
also! the the interior plastic light cover, and both sides of the plastic panels Interior by the side door next to the retracting seat belt they are about 2foot long!
When you open the door look to your left facing the opposite and you will see it. or if you look from the window, you will see on the driver side you could see them both from the driver and passenger side.
5 digit odometer,so after 99,999 they go back to 0..
Nice Dodge..I had a 4 door like that,cleaned it up,and sold it for $4,200 last year !! The compression was mostly even 120-135,had a 383 2 bbl,same colour !!! No rust,ripped seats,but nice driver,smooth,quick ,2.76 rear axle with chrome magnum 500 wheels..
It's a '68. It has not been sitting for 30 years. If the owner is as stupid about cars as the uploader... it probably just ran out of gas and he thought it broke down. Put some gas in the tank.Try starting it.
You're right this car is not that bad at all. She could be fixed up. She could be really tough. (from movie Christine hahaha) I have seen people fix up cars in a lot worse shape. Granted they were not Dodge Polaris 4-doors but I think its pretty cool. Lot of potential. Not that much rust. I wonder if it is a 318.383,etc.
By my recollections thats a 1968. Only year they came out with the button marker side lights. Be nice to know that cars history, but 4years of driving...I doubt its 108,000miles. Could be a find. What engine is in it?
if you dont know much about restoring a car , sell it as it is, its a dodge 68 polara with only 7k miles on it and in good shape,i would carefully pull it out of there and wait to get someone how realy wants it, you can get 5k$ for it easy ,but dont let the children play to much in it so it kepps in good shape..or have it restore and sell it 10k$ good luck
if you wanna take it out with you John Deere,maybe you can hook the car from the front bumper. or check any suit places to hook it.but John Deere, i think cannot....or can ? i like that car..pretty good shape..restore and drive it! but i think the chassis is good...old cars ran down like hallelujah! anyway, why don't you check inside the car? please reply. thanks!
I know what you mean, my Dad had a 1971 Ford LTD ( I learned to drive in it), and it was rusted out in the frame in 1979. Apparently Ford at the time was buying cheap Japanese Steel and it cost Ford hundreds of millions of dollars in lost business due to poor quality. Perhaps the Japanese had a plan. They kept the good steel for their own cars...... pretty clever.
That's actually a '68 Dodge. 1968 was the first year that all cars had lights on the side (on this one near the Polaris name on the left side). It was not a '69 because it didn't have headrests in the front.
it's hard to find this kinda masterpiece in Malaysia, all we got is the japanese old school car but it's hard to restore since it's parts are hard to find...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
looks like you just drove it there and then "found" it for the camera. After sitting under a tree for even a month it would be covered in crap, but this car looks too clean.
The car has been there at least 25 years, it is sitting in a fence row next to an open field with strong westerly winds, ... not oo much will accumulate on the car.
Thats good to hear. I'd try and see if you can jack the car up enough to wrap chains or straps around the rear and front ends of the frame. Just to limit the stress on the frame. and just choose an end the pull. good luck. Are you restoring or selling?
After you get the car out, later down the road, jack it up. take a real good look at the bottom of the floor pans and see if there are any rust holes or soft areas.
If so, carfully pull the seats out, along with the carpet. and grind out the the rust holes, weld or pop rivet down some new metal, and fiber glass over it. then primer it, and paint it. Put the original, or new carpet down, and reinstall seats, and trim pieces. at least thats a good start. Plus, you also want to make sure she run
I'd start with a shovel. lot of work yeah but it's better than giving it a pull just to see what happens. if it's on the ground to the frame it may be too rotted to stress. you may, if there's a bumper jack (if no key remove the back seat) and lift it a touch just to get a look. this is a case of 'measure three times cut once' cause if you get it wrong it's the end. a car is original only once. also, dodge used cheap vinyl and it doesn't look worn from use. I'd day 7k miles.
I posted a responce awhile back about your Car its a 68 dodge polara 4 door I have a 68 polara 2 dr 500 check out my Video I finally got it too work its same color as yours
i would get a video but i dont got a camcorder but its baby blue1959 Edsel and 1 window gone/ left rear/ and almost no rust mostly just interior damage and i also got a 1963 plymouth valiant/black/ all windows that i bought for 150$ at a car show. well ill keep ya posted on what i get and find
It's a pretty cool thing to have. Keep it. And don't put a bunch of money into it unless it's feasible: Otherwise, just patch up the holes and make it critter proof, buy some used seats from a junkyard, and let the kids play with it. You want to make it so the kids won't get hurt on the inside with rusted metal; and pull out any rotted moldy stuff.
- - Pull out the motor and put in on motor stand, and teach the kids how to rebuild it. Motor stands are cheap nowdays.
I may move it out closer to the house so the grand kids can play in it. I used to play on some old model T's with my friend when I was a kid. They were sitting in the grass on my neighbour's farm. It was great fun. :)
It's a four door, and unfortunately, not worth too much due to the fact it is not a sought after body style. Beyond that, the car has been sitting so long in the grass that I am almost positive the undersides of the are too far gone to repair. The amount of money you would have to put into it would far exceed the money you would ever get back as a return. Throw some gas in it, fire it off and bomb around the fields in it......
unless you enjoy putting "endless" hours of your life into a dead car...don't buy this car. I have been through this many times before in my life: I would far rather just find a nice one for 3,000 bucks and avoid the endless problems
as i said...I have been through this many times before...i guess at 56 years old and not having a whole lot of life left....i'd rather drive a nice one that spend all that time
to soilent: actually I drove all of them as my everyday car. The 62 chrysler was a beauty but was plagued with design defects....no "park" function in the transmission.....just a park brake, very exotic electrical system to run the "star wars dash" that lit up using "no bulbs"...just a ton of voltage slammed into laminated phosphorous, over charging problems, wierdo double brake cylinders......BUT....on the other hand....my 65 Nova Wagon was as dependable as the sun rise
There is a Racoon living in the trunk, but it is still sitting above the ground on its rubber tires. The floor seems to be pretty solid, we will see when we pull it out . The only rot I can see is in the bottom of the rear quarter panel next to the wheel well on the driver side. ( Raccon Door way)
Do you have the problem of grass and plant life eating through the bottom of cars that sit for a while? In England it rots cars through very effectively. The condition of it, for thirty-plus years of abandonment appears to be very good.
I'd love the car, just as most viewers probably would. Good luck with getting it moved safely
I am not a dodge guy but you don't get to see too many 4 doors around.If it is not too far gone,it would be something to fix.4 doors we're not a desirable model to collect...I would think twice before parting with it.Would be nice to see it around for a couple more decades...
this old thing if on ebay should stay in one peice thats auto history even being a 4 door its surviving not alot of even those around anywhere to grab anymore,great car
I'm trying to decide what to do with it, my step-son is coming back from China in a few months and he said he wanted to fix it up , we'll take a look at it then. If we don't decide to fix it up maybe I'll sell it. It seems like there area lot of good orginal parts on it .
what you have a 1968 Dodge polara 4 door look at the inside of it might be a 1967 but the front tells me it a '68 I have mint condition 1968 dodge polara 500
2 door I restored back in 1993 its the same color of the junk one you have
what is your E-mail address ? I can send you some pictures of my restored one to give you some insight too what it would look like if you ever do restore it post comment on my channel ....
Not yet, we haven't had time and I don't have anywhere to work on it. I'm thinking of pulling the engine out to put on a motor stand to display in my shop.
Guy, you've GOT to yank it out of there, from what I can see on the video, this thing isn't beyond restorable and the outside body has almost no visible rust.

looks like you just drove it there and then "found" it for the camera. After sitting under a tree for even a month it would be covered in crap, but this car looks too clean.

The car has been there at least 25 years, it is sitting in a fence row next to an open field with strong westerly winds, ... not oo much will accumulate on the car.

I'm going to pull it out next spring with my John Deere, any advice on how to get it out without causing any damage to it?
artworkbykeith 2 years ago
Thats good to hear. I'd try and see if you can jack the car up enough to wrap chains or straps around the rear and front ends of the frame. Just to limit the stress on the frame. and just choose an end the pull. good luck. Are you restoring or selling?
THOMASOAKMAN 2 years ago
I don't know I suppose I will take a look at it after we get it out and decide what to do. I've never restored a car before.
artworkbykeith 2 years ago
After you get the car out, later down the road, jack it up. take a real good look at the bottom of the floor pans and see if there are any rust holes or soft areas.
If so, carfully pull the seats out, along with the carpet. and grind out the the rust holes, weld or pop rivet down some new metal, and fiber glass over it. then primer it, and paint it. Put the original, or new carpet down, and reinstall seats, and trim pieces. at least thats a good start. Plus, you also want to make sure she run

will you please restore her,,and dont let the d,d boys get hold of her

@artworkbykeith
I'd start with a shovel. lot of work yeah but it's better than giving it a pull just to see what happens. if it's on the ground to the frame it may be too rotted to stress. you may, if there's a bumper jack (if no key remove the back seat) and lift it a touch just to get a look. this is a case of 'measure three times cut once' cause if you get it wrong it's the end. a car is original only once. also, dodge used cheap vinyl and it doesn't look worn from use. I'd day 7k miles.

It's a pretty cool thing to have. Keep it. And don't put a bunch of money into it unless it's feasible: Otherwise, just patch up the holes and make it critter proof, buy some used seats from a junkyard, and let the kids play with it. You want to make it so the kids won't get hurt on the inside with rusted metal; and pull out any rotted moldy stuff.
- - Pull out the motor and put in on motor stand, and teach the kids how to rebuild it. Motor stands are cheap nowdays.
WillysWoodPile 2 years ago
I may move it out closer to the house so the grand kids can play in it. I used to play on some old model T's with my friend when I was a kid. They were sitting in the grass on my neighbour's farm. It was great fun. :)
artworkbykeith 2 years ago
It's a four door, and unfortunately, not worth too much due to the fact it is not a sought after body style. Beyond that, the car has been sitting so long in the grass that I am almost positive the undersides of the are too far gone to repair. The amount of money you would have to put into it would far exceed the money you would ever get back as a return. Throw some gas in it, fire it off and bomb around the fields in it......

It's a 68. 68 was the first year for sidelights, and dodges had those small round ones.
Get it out of there and fix it up, or get it to somebody who can. It's worth restoring.

unless you enjoy putting "endless" hours of your life into a dead car...don't buy this car. I have been through this many times before in my life: I would far rather just find a nice one for 3,000 bucks and avoid the endless problems

that's cause you watch too much Monster Garage and think cars magically build themselves, thus you probably never finish anything you start...
Some people enjoy putting a lot of work into their hobbies, that is why barn finds are so incredibly popular, duh.

what cars have you worked on in the past?
SoilentGr33n 2 years ago
to SoilentGr33n: 1962 chrysler newport, 1965 chev nova, 77 buick regal, 86 pontiac
inkey2 2 years ago
'62 Newports are absolutely beautiful, did you end up driving all of them, that's a nice list!!!
SoilentGr33n 2 years ago
to soilent: actually I drove all of them as my everyday car. The 62 chrysler was a beauty but was plagued with design defects....no "park" function in the transmission.....just a park brake, very exotic electrical system to run the "star wars dash" that lit up using "no bulbs"...just a ton of voltage slammed into laminated phosphorous, over charging problems, wierdo double brake cylinders......BUT....on the other hand....my 65 Nova Wagon was as dependable as the sun rise

brimstonefoxfur 2 years ago 3
There is a Racoon living in the trunk, but it is still sitting above the ground on its rubber tires. The floor seems to be pretty solid, we will see when we pull it out . The only rot I can see is in the bottom of the rear quarter panel next to the wheel well on the driver side. ( Raccon Door way)
artworkbykeith 2 years ago
Do you have the problem of grass and plant life eating through the bottom of cars that sit for a while? In England it rots cars through very effectively. The condition of it, for thirty-plus years of abandonment appears to be very good.
I'd love the car, just as most viewers probably would. Good luck with getting it moved safely

Yes it is still there, my step-son and I are going to pull it out and put it in the barn when he gets back from China in June.
We do have the keys and he original car manual and purchase papaers that were in the glove compartment.

You should put in a fresh battery, pour a little fresh gas in the carburetor, and see if it'll fire up without any serious work.

I am not a dodge guy but you don't get to see too many 4 doors around.If it is not too far gone,it would be something to fix.4 doors we're not a desirable model to collect...I would think twice before parting with it.Would be nice to see it around for a couple more decades...

what you have a 1968 Dodge polara 4 door look at the inside of it might be a 1967 but the front tells me it a '68 I have mint condition 1968 dodge polara 500

Guy, you've GOT to yank it out of there, from what I can see on the video, this thing isn't beyond restorable and the outside body has almost no visible rust.
It's pretty straight, really.
SoilentGr33n 3 years ago 2
Great car. You should try to push it on some plywood otherwise the floor will rust completely. The outside body is in great shape. Lucky you!!!
