what's a 1968 dodge polara 500 worth?

Question

Accepted Answer

Based on our market data, a **1968 Dodge Polara 500** in original condition like this one is currently worth approximately **$18,000 to $22,000**.

Here's how I arrived at that estimate:

**Market Context (3rd Gen Polara 1965-1968):**
- Average sale price: $17,488
- Market range: $7,000 - $26,000
- Most recent comparable sale: $20,900

**Similar Vehicles:**
- A 1968 Polara **500 Convertible** (same premium trim) with 440ci V8 recently sold for **$21,000**
- A 1968 Polara Hardtop Coupe (original) last asked **$15,500** at a dealer
- Another 1968 Polara Convertible is currently listed at **$18,896**
- A modified 1968 Polara Hardtop sold at auction for **$18,700**

**Value Factors for This Car:**
- **Polara 500 trim** puts it above base models (+$2K-3K premium)
- "**Original & Highly Original**" condition is highly desirable in the classic market
- **Teal/Turquoise** with black interior is a classic period-correct combo
- Claimed **20,030 miles** (though noted as unknown total) suggests potential low-mileage premium if verified

The specific 1968 Polara 500 hardtops tend toward the higher end of the market range due to their rarity and premium trim level. For insurance or sale purposes, I'd suggest **$20,000** as a realistic midpoint, with excellent examples potentially reaching the mid-$20K range.
