Hello,
I was curious who got or if Allens 64 Polora Sold or if it was still available?
I saw it on fleebay a little while ago and was interested in it and then the ad disappeared. My guess is it sold but was hoping to maybe locate.
Thanks

Not sure, but following this one. Allen was a great guy. My father almost purchased the "Jack of Diamonds" before settling on our 63. I have a photo of him looking it over at the Maple Grove Swap Meet prior to Allen purchasing it. That car ran a 440 with an STR 14 cross-ram. Ran right around 11.00 from what I remember. Just prior to his passing, Allen built an AWB 65 Dodge called "Hang em High" RIP my friend.

If this is the same car I am thinking of I know the guy that built originally. Do you have a picture of it?

Yes Tommy that is the same guy, He passed 2-3 years ago and his brother was selling.. How much were they asking when you looked at it if you don't mind.

I do believe that is the car. Buzz Kolesar built that car back in the 70's. We used to go down to his shop in Westfield PA. Back in the day he had a ton of great cars. He sold a 65 A990 Dodge out of his place brand new. I bought a 340 Six Pack set up, complete, for 100. He had several of them lined up against the wall. 70 440+6 cuda body, 4 speed, FC7 for 1200, My brother bought a FY1 AAR auto for 1250. I still own a 70 383 Bee that came from there in 79. 600 bucks, 39,000 miles mostly original paint.

Thanks all. I was hoping to see if it was still for sale. I liked the old school look a patina..
