I too vote for the Mopar.

PS I'm new so my vote may not count

Honestly bro, I think the chevy would be easier to sell one day, but those are two VERY nice looking cars and you would not be going wrong by getting either one. Go with your gut, or what you like better. Strategy-wise, if you say you could get both in a few months, then buy the impala, the Polara should still be there when you can get it in a few months.

Buy the Impala. All else being the same, the resale value will be more no matter what the condition unless the Mopar has some sort of historical signifigance or heritage. Also, finding a buyer for an Imp when and if you ever sell it is way easier than finding a buyer for a Polara. That's my .02.

Are you kidding? Have you priced an original Max Wedge car lately? The market for these early 60s Mopars is over the top. My brother deals almost exclusively in these early to mid 60s Mopars. Believe me, the market is huge. In fact, the demand is so high that my brother and his son make two door post clones out of four door cars. Bob Mosher has a waiting list a mile long of people waiting for these cars. He was recently featured on "My Classic Car." Today, just the Max Wedge exhaust manifolds are probably worth more than an entire 409 engine. Historical significance? These Max Wedges ruled the street and the strip in their day. The only thing close was the Ford Thunderbolt until the hemi cars came out in '65. Maybe you're confused by the inaccuracies in the Beach Boys' song "Shutdown" where a 14 second (with a tail wind) Corvette was supposed to have beat a low 13 second/high 12 second Super Stock Dodge. Max Wedge all the way!!!!!!

P.S. A 1970 Hemi Cuda went for $2.1 million this year.

Another MOPAR ELITIST. I am glad you posted that for the non-believers! Mopar or No Car!

I have to agree with Phil/BigAsp.
The Mopars have gone through the ozone in the last 2 years.
They are rarer and therefore bring lots of money.
I have been to Phils brothers shop and have seen Bob do the things Phil said. Phils brother Bob is extremly talented and does not waste time on nonesense projects. The projects that I have seen in Bob's shops are amazing, both completed and under construction.

Phil himself is very talented and knowledgeable regarding muscle cars. He even owns his own Dyno. Some of you folks that have not been around our group for any length of time have yet to discover that the family that is this forum is very unique. There is a great deal of real knowledge and experiance here.
