When I got this car I knew it was unique but I didn't realize how rare it was. Up front I knew there were 573 originally built and that included all engines. In 1969 the 318 was standard and you could get both versions of the 383, and if you really looked hard you could get the HP 440. Once I started looking into it I started realizing how rare it was, there are no records of how many of the cars were equipped with the 440, I was hearing numbers from 5% up to 15% working out to about 25-85 cars. In looking into the rarity I learned of another one in the Netherlands that is a survivor with a repaint. Soon after that learned of another with just a first name, it was enough to track down the owner. I learned that it is a project and he pointed me in the direction of yet another one. As of right now I know who owns it and I'm currently waiting a reply back from them. My understanding it is also a project. There was a Canadian equivalent to the Polara 500 and it was the Monaco 500. The production records for these is known at 347 total and the engine breakdown is know, using the same ratio we can guess at the approximate quantities of the Polara 500.
That being said the four we know about may have been the only 1969 Polara 500 Convertibles built with the Magnum 440 If you own one contact me at cuda_al@yahoo.com
