1968 Dodge Polara Station Wagon

A clean, low optioned small block Dodge. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dodge-Polar...tr=true&hash=item4883424284&item=311439803012

 

My aunt in Peoria, Il had the exact same model and color Polara when I was little.

 

I sent the seller an email that he could be missing a sale by listing the seat upholstery as 'original' when it obviously is NOT and that the carpet on the cargo area floor is also not original. He responded that I have my information wrong! All he has to do is google images for the 68 Polara and he'll see there is different stitching on the original seats as well as ribbed vinyl on the cargo floor to match the small section on the tailgate.

One thing to get it wrong but another to insist you are right when the evidence is easy to find. Now makes me wonder what else he is wrong about in his listing and whether he can be trusted to know anything at all about the car or is just a flipper.

 

Subject vehicle, back seat:


I couldn't find any specific pics showing '68 Polara wagon seats (except maybe one showing a cloth/vinyl combination), but I did find this all-vinyl seat in a '68 Polara convertible. i would expect it to be fairly similar to the wagon...

Yep, that white vinyl interior is the Polara pattern, wagons were only supposed to be available with vinyl - no cloth - and having grown up with one I know it well. http://www.stationwagonforums.com/forums/media/68-polara-3rd-seat-in-arizona-around-1974.13825/
Monaco interiors had totally different stitching. This 68 also didn't have the Plymouth stitching so it isn't a matter of being a Canadian car. I found a youtube video of the 'before' photos of this car from A&A Machinery Sales, but it goes by REAL fast and shows a lot of damage not shown in the ebay listing.
