Same here...again not mine but exactly like it.
'65 Dodge Polara that someone had "debadged". I didn't know until about 15 years after I owned what the model was because even the registration just said "Dodge". It had a push-button automatic and a split bench front seat.
I paid $300 for it, drove it two years and sold it for $400.
As others have said, I'm sure it's more teenage memories than anything else. If I did find one I'd probably drive it and say "ugmmm never mind". I've probably missed my window on this anyway. Even a junked out one now goes for about $6,000. A decent one (particularly the convertibles) can approach mid '30s.
