Possibly a bit premature, but...

Hi guys, I haven't even got my Mopar yet, but I'll still tell you about it!

It's a '66 Polara 2d HT with a 383 that I bought today. Unfortunately, I won't have it for at least another 6 weeks as I'm in London, UK and it's in California! Got to wait for it to be loaded into a container and be found a space on a boat coming to western Europe.

Actually, strictly speaking, I do have a Mopar now, if a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee counts...well sort of I guess! Oh, and I did own a '72 Charger back in the mid-90's

Welcome to the forum. Must be a nice car to go to the trouble and expense to get it shipped. For sure MOPAR dedication.

Thanks. It looks to be a real nice car (seen plenty of hi-res pictures)....very original. There's so little choice over here, plus with the exchange rate having moved in my favour compared to what it was a few months ago, it just made sense to ship one over. First time I've done it, so just hoping there's no unforeseen complications.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.

Quick question - the Polara has power brakes, with drums all around and a single reservoir master cylinder. I've heard that it's best to upgrade to a dual reservoir master cylinder - is that what most of you guys have done? Also, does anyone know where I could source one from?

It is definetly better to have a dual cylinder, just for the simple fact of safety.

I had a 66 Polara convertible. I absolutely love the dashboards on those cars. They are just great cars. They are BIG cars and will easily cruise at 90 without breaking a sweat. They have so much room It's like driving your livingroom down the street
