This 1964 Dodge Polara is a claimed factory original V8/4-speed car running a recetnly rebuilt 426 Max Wedge, new paint and nice, original interior. The car is admittedly non-matching numbers, and it’s not quite clear what motor it would have run from the factory—the seller providing conflicting info in a few places—but for a fast, fun driver we think this one hits the mark. Find it here at Passing Lane Motors in Fenton, Missouri for $34,900.

​Appliance white with red trim is the ideal color combo for a street-spec big block Polara, and this one looks nice with straight, solid panels and good if not perfect trim. Chrome and stainless appear to be complete and well-aligned, but light pitting and scratching can be seen from some angles. Side exit exhausts, low spec steelies with caps and minimal brightwork suit the car’s single-minded, straight-line purpose.

​Similar to the exterior, inside the car looks well-kept but with enough wear and tear to remind you of its age. Dash plastics show plenty of scuffing and scratching, but remain solid and entirely serviceable as-is. All gauges and switches are said to be fully functional, and carpet, seats and headliner remain in very good original condition. There’s a lot of history in this cabin, and we’re glad to see it hasn’t all been polished away.

​A nicely detailed engine bay shows the freshened 426 wearing a wicked looking set of 3.5 inch fender cut headers and one of our favorite carb setups of all time. These Stage III motors were factory factory rated at 425 HP and sound fantastic on idle–and throughout the rest of the rev range, too. Power is put down through a 4.11 Dana 60 TracLoc rear and very meaty rear rubber.

​Manual brakes, steering and more torque than a city bus will demand a firm hand, but that’s a big part of the fun. We’d be too busy having fun to care about originality, and as far as spec goes this thing hits the mark for an ideal street cruiser.
