Re: Auction: 1965 Fury II -- 1963 Polara 500

["Gary H." <62to65mopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

More likely this is one of those "location  location location" happenstances. That 1963 Polara 500 was part of a large private collection of mixed brands that was put up for auction. The cars in that collection were all real nice.

Typical,  Mopars at the auction were in a distinct minority. Probably more so in this event.  A sea of Chebby & Fords.

The Dodge looked as nice as an original  11,500 mile car would look.  I think the 1963 500 was simply not recognized by the crowd watching that auction for the unique top-of-the line B Body the 500 was in 1963. It was a real steal. I don't know for sure, but I would not be surprised if the 500 was purchased by a dealer to "flip" at a future event.  

Thanks,
Gary H.
