Gotcha. I'm gonna borrow my FILs bore scope and inspect it, I'll try to do the valvesYes, solid lifters don't bleed down so some of the valves stay open when it's shut down. That leads to rust on those valves and in those cylinders if the car sits for a long time.
Cool!DDaddy, I found that banner I was looking for....Was in the trunk of the '69...how it got in there....
I bet you are going to find a lot more than that issue.I do think it may have a trans linkage problem. All the buttons when pressed engage and stay pressed in except for the Drive button.
Oh I fully expect tooI bet you are going to find a lot more than that issue.
honestly , not sure. For now, roadkill it and cruise it if I can get it safe and running for next year while I build my dart. Beyond that, not sure. Dart has to get finished first. Only thing ruled out is a part outThat Polara actually looks pretty good. A pressure washer and some soap will do ponderous things to a viewpoint.
What are the long term plans for the girl?
One wonders what a WOOD bar would do, if a WOOD bar would do WOOD.
My brain hurts.
He'd do as much wood as wood bar could if a wood bar could do wood..

I cant imagine racing a 64 Polara 4 door with a Two BBl poly. Unless racing snails.Yeah. Just spent the last hour skyping the last driver/ owner of the polara. The brother of my buddy who it was given too after it was parked. I got some interesting stories about the tire marks on the doors and the dents in the right rear as well as a few other dents.
There's an old, long, unpatrolled road here in the county that runs along the river . It's actually very wide for a gravel road and lots of curves. Guess during high school decades ago, kids would go out there to race . Tire scuff marks on the left side are from a collision with a Skylark and the right side is from another car that lost it and drove into the side of him.

I found only one bad spot on the left side rear frame where the bumper bolts. Other than that, frame looks solid. I tapped along the entire length with a slag hammer and found no weak spots

Don't know. He never said he won. I know the road he's talking about. It's very loose dirt/gravel. Too much power could actually be a bad thing on that road.I cant imagine racing a 64 Polara 4 door with a Two BBl poly. Unless racing snails.![]()

Not much different than a 318 LA with a 2 barrell. Mine runs pretty well.I cant imagine racing a 64 Polara 4 door with a Two BBl poly. Unless racing snails.![]()

But that car is a boat...IMO. Had a 61 fury with that engine in it. Was NOT going to win any races...Not much different than a 318 LA with a 2 barrell. Mine runs pretty well.
