So this car "was" to be the basis for a clone of a 62 Polara I had in HS in the 60's. I bought it sight unseen off ebay in SF. The pics below are on arrival are #1-3. OEM, all Polara's had a 361/4bbl and Alum 727's. This car, according the plethora of receipts that came with it, looked to be owned by a Coors executive in Spokane. He restored it in 1980, and as best I can tell, he replaced motor/trans with a rebuilt slightly warmed over 273/4spd, I assume because this was the middle of the second "gas crisis". This helped in making the car less desirable on ebay, and I didn't care, since I was planning on dropping in a 440+ with long rams. However when I got the car and drove it, plans changed, the 273 was pretty peppy and the car was rather nice, even with the crushed velour interior <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eyes.gif" alt="" />. So this is just upgrading it into a nice cruiser.

2 The wheels are AR 14x8 200S Coke bottles, not my favorite, but I'll keep them as long as they make 245/50's, unfortunately it limits rotor sizes.

3 Transport damaged, thought to be as bought but seller said 100% NOT ugh!!!

4 Almost original as received engine compartment

5 Just reminiscing, this is my original custom hood from 1967.

7 Period correct wheel? Soon to be replaced by a new one.

8 Connector primary flange layout, with center weld hole

9 Welded 2x2 connector, not thru the floor

10 Subframe connector

11 This was our second set of Flex A Form fiberglass springs, strangely they failed as crack/split indicates, they replaced without hesitation, replacement set was made wrong, likely am using Hyperco only in the future

12 Crushed velour? Installing rear seat belts

13 Rear seat belt tie down

14 One Comp cammed robust 273 with 4 sp out for a little spicing up

14.2 Driveshaft safety loop

14.5 I believe the safety loop moves forward with the Passon tranny and losing the slip joint

15 Previous owners installed 4 speed Ball and trunnion Trans

16 If I remember correctly thats a slant six sized 9"? Disc, good for road race?

17 New Alum Passon Jamie rocks
