1961 Dodge POLARA 2 door hardtop-Pillarless Coupe LHD.

Extremely Rare - only 1862 produced. Very few exist !

Almost impossible to find.

361 cu. in V8 2 Bbl Carb.

Torqueflite 3 speed Pushbutton Automatic.

Original Survivor!

This vehicle is an extremely solid unrestored original example and a relatively easy restorer.

Whilst there is some rust here and there it is relatively minor for a1961 Dodge. Most of the rust on the car is surface rust. There is a comparatively small amount of rust for a vehicle of this year and model. I have a number of additional photos I can forward to anyone with a genuine interest in the car. that show the small areas of rust in the car.

Some rust is localised in typical areas for this era Dodge such as the quarter sills. lower rear quarters. lower front fenders etc.  The trunk floor is solid with mainly surface rust. The main floors still have the original paint in most areas but there is surface rust and like the trunk floor. nbsp;if there is any rust through it will be relatively minor and isolated.

This super rare POLARA does not have the extent of rust which is typically found on this model Dodge which makes it a relatively easy restorer.

The engine and drivetrain look original to the car and undisturbed. I have not attempted to start the engine. The brakes are in operative due to long term storage.   

The vehicle is LHD and has never been registered in Australia. however the vehicle has an Australian Import Approval and a copy will be supplied on sale.

Contemporary road tests highlight Dodge ( Mopars ) had superior handling compared to other American cars of the time thanks to "torsion bar front suspension" and the  body was noted as being "rattle free". thanks to monocoque body construction

The 1961 Dodge POLARA is a rare vehicle in the USA and even more so in Australia. We believe this may be one of three known  - 2  Door Hardtops in Australia.

I have had a long term association with this model Dodge and I am unaware of any recent auction sales however the most recent publicised USA auction sales of the earlier 1960 Dodge Matador / Polara 2 door hardtop include a restored example in blue which sold for $85. 00 USD and an example with an amateur restoration with apparent poor panel fit and sub-standard body work was recorded to have sold for $56. 00 USD.

 A restored 1960 Dodge Polara which is not as rare as the 61 model was recently advertised in the USA for $99. 00 USD - which translates to an estimated $180. 00 AUD to import at present with shipping and taxes.  

A regular 1960 Matador / Polara 4 door pillared sedan. requiring restoration was advertised on ebay Australia in 2008 and was sold back to the USA.  

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a an extremely rare collector car with investment potential in Australia.

The 1961 POLARA is far more rare than its predecessor the 1960 model and represents an opportunity to own one of the rarest American cars in the world and one with unique design inspired during the Space Age era of the 1960s.

Unlike many mainstream American collector cars from the 1950s & 1960s .

the 1961 POLARA is extremely rare and combined with the Space Age inspired design - 

its investment potential and collectibilty is ensured well into the Future!

This model Dodge features the

 Wildest Space Age Design!

– unlike any other car. nbsp; a Juke Box style dash with push button Automatic transmission control panel.  superb “torsion” bar front suspension for smooth JET like ride and superior roadholding & stability.

The Vehicle is available for on-site inspection by arrangement.

I have more photos of the car that i can forward to interested parties.

This is a very rare opportunity to own one of the most sought-after Forward Look cars around.
