1964 Dodge Polara 2-Door Hardtop 520ci Stroker-Powered
This 1964 Dodge Polara two-door hardtop is a no-nonsense Mopar street machine, blending classic full-size styling with serious big-block performance. Finished in clean white over a two-tone blue vinyl interior, this Polara has been transformed with a professionally built 520ci stroker V8 delivering massive torque and unmistakable presence.
At the heart of the build is a 520ci stroker based on a 1973 440 block, installed in 2008 and engineered with premium internals throughout. Highlights include ported and polished 440 Source aluminum cylinder heads, a 4.375” stroke and 4.350” bore, a forged 4340 steel crankshaft, 7.10” H-beam rods, Keith Black forged pistons, and a Bullet Racing solid roller camshaft. Supporting components include Smith Brothers pushrods, aluminum roller rockers, ARP fasteners, and a full complement of high-performance internals. Induction is handled by a cross-ram intake topped with dual Edelbrock carburetors, with twin black air cleaners bearing Mopar decals, while the ignition is upgraded with an MSD Pro-Billet distributor and Street Fire wires. Chrome valve covers proudly display “RAMCHARGER 528-IV” badging. A 2021 dyno sheet shows an impressive 452 horsepower and a tire-twisting 626 lb-ft of torque.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a push-button TorqueFlite automatic transmission, rebuilt in December 2024 and equipped with a 3,500-RPM stall converter, auxiliary cooler, and a Derale deep pan. A heavy-duty Dana 60 rear end houses a 4.10:1 Detroit Truetrac limited-slip differential with 35-spline Strange Engineering axles, ensuring strength and reliability under hard acceleration. A driveshaft loop is in place, and the dual exhaust system features tubular headers, 3-inch piping, electric cutouts, and Dynomax mufflers for an aggressive, tunable exhaust note.
The exterior retains its classic Polara look with quad headlights, chrome grille, bumpers, and trim, along with Fratzog emblems on the hood, C-pillars, and trunk. Period-style racing decals on the quarter windows add to its vintage performance attitude. It sits on 15” Cragar SS wheels wrapped in Uniroyal Tiger Paw front tires, and Radir pie-crust slicks out back, giving it that unmistakable old-school muscle stance. The car is equipped with power steering, front disc brakes, rear drums, and a rebuilt front suspension.
Inside, the cabin features two rows of bench seats upholstered in two-tone blue vinyl with matching door panels. A Dodge Golden Anniversary steering wheel frames the factory 120-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges, while a Moon Equipped tachometer is mounted to the column. Additional Stewart-Warner gauges for oil pressure and water temperature are mounted below the dash. The odometer shows 76k miles. Interior amenities include a push-button AM radio, heater and defroster, Dodge-branded floor mats, and new carpeting. An Optima RedTop battery has been relocated to the trunk in a black battery box.
