Last time across the block it failed to receive a bid. The market is still SO flat on these cars.
I really tried to get this car before it left Oregon for the auction circuit. I offered more that I should and he declined.
Good thing cause now I have my Fury, which is statically a better investment. (not why I bought it. I bought it to drive it)
I'm sure he has a lot into it, VERY nice car.

Location: Lower Mainland BC | Nice(ish) car but it still has the same problems that it had before. These include:
1. The engine is a D500 hemi. That's it. NOT a "SUPER RED RAM" (that was the 218 hp 2 bbl 315 poly). That said, the owner did paint the valve covers and air cleaner red compared to one of the previous times on the market (from a collage that I did of the previous photos):
Current offering:
3. The metal end plate on the brake booster bellows was not black. It was some kind of anodized silver/gold/cadmium:
3. If SMS really did the interior (with NOS fabric), they F'd it up. The direction of the fabric is 90 deg out.
(Here's how the fabric should be):

| Found a car very similar to that in Washington last year, Police Package car with the Dodge hemi. Price was too much so didn't buy it. |

Location: Lower Mainland BC | In case there is some confusion, one of the previous times that this car was up for sale, the owner posted a photo of the IBM card. So as long as the IBM card is legit and the VIN is 35118945, the engine in the car should be D500-4988 with the car built on/around May 8, 1956. (Another data point for my "collection")

Well that helps with the credibility of the car as potentially having been a cop car. Having been built on May 8th, 1956 it wasn't one of the early builds when they all got the 6 leaf rear springs as part of the D500 package. This one had to be ordered like that.
