Now there's something you don't see every day. Always liked those mid 60's C bodies, and they ride real smooth too.

That looks like a nice solid car. Cool hood scoop too

I thought it was a B-Body?

Ah. I changed from a B to a C in 1965.

Went to C platform for 1965,if it's a B it's a 64.
I didn't think mono leaf and caltracs are available for C body.

Thats fantastic! another cool car in the North West

looking good Dave

Must be a 'C',looking superb whatever

1965–68

For 1965, Chrysler moved the Polara back to a Chrysler "C" fullsize platform that was shared with Chrysler and Plymouth models. Once again offered in a full range of bodies (sedans, hardtops, station wagons, etc.), the Polara, in effect, replaced the plain 880 and remained a step below the Custom 880 and both turned over their top-of-the-line status to the new Dodge Monaco hardtop coupe, which would become a full line on its own the next year. From 1965 to 1970, the Polara would be the only full-sized Dodge to offer a convertible body-style in the U.S.

The previous mid-sized Dodges that were sold under the names Polara 500, Polara, 440, and 330 continued in production under the name Dodge Coronet, their wheelbase shrinking to 117 inches (2,972 mm).

In the 1966 model year, the Monaco would replace the Custom 880 as the mid-level model while a new Monaco 500 would replace the previous 1965 Monaco. 1967 models received a facelift and the hardtop coupe adopted a semi-fastback roof style with a reverse-slant rear quarter window.

One constant of the 1965 to 1968 models was taut, square-edged styling, which changed from year to year to keep the cars fresh. By 1968, however, it was obvious that Dodge's mainstream big cars would need a new look, and that would usher in a whole new philosophy.

Great job. That engine looks good enough to eat. What colour will it be?
