The Original Sleeper

     

Description

SOLD: 1961 DODGE POLARA 500 RAM INDUCTION. Sourced in Colorado in 2005.Rust-free southern example, excellent inside & out and underneath. It was originally sold by a Whittier California dealer. It is a nice driving and powerful car and gets a lot of attention at car shows. A lot of the MoPar guys have never seen the Ram Induction set-up, or for that matter a '61 Polara, as the Polara wasn't sold in Canada that year. It has been documented by Bruce Thomas of the Chrysler Historical Division and it appears in Daryl Davis' book, "The 1961 Dodge 383 D-500 Guide". According to Davis there were only eleven built with these specs and according to Canadian MoPar aficionados it's the only one in Canada and possible the only original survivor. Optional front stabalizer bar with HD suspension Viscous drive fan with fan shroud Steel heater feed & return pipes (not hoses) an engine bay appearance feature found only on "some" Ram Induction cars Battery heat shield and 55 amp alternator 12" power brakes with segmented semi metallic brake linings (wheel cyls. overhauled, new brake tubing and hoses) Factory spark plug wire brackets in proper locations (something rarely seen now) New mufflers & tail pipes with period Chrysler products turn down below bumper Park brake warning lamp Electric clock Undercoat (still in good condition) High back "Pilot" driver's side front seat Power steering with deluxe steering wheel Factory "astrophonic" radio Windshield washers (factory nozzles) and push button control in wiper switch knob.
