My health won't allow me to play with cars anymore. Before that, however, I have owned, restored, swapped, sold, showed, raced and babied over 100 cars in my life. Out of all the cars, there is one which stood out, I had it 16 years - longer than any other relationship. It was my 1 owner 1964 Dodge Polara 500.
The only cosmetic mods I made to it was a set of chrome reverse wheels. Never had the heads off, maybe put in 1/2 a pound of freon. Greatest A/C ever and a very enjoyable car to drive.
When the time came for it to leave, it was only because of a sizeable cash offer plus a '68 Charger R/T. Always thought I wanted one.
I knew I'd made a mistake almost instantly when I looked in the driveway and didn't see my trusty Polara.
