Arp 336, NGC 2685, is an example of a polar ring galaxy though that's
hard to tell from its classification as (R)SB0+ pec. To me this is
Arp's wildest and most spectacular galaxy.

I don't know if they had any deep shots of it back when the
nebula/galaxy debate was going on. It sure would have been a good
argument for the nebula side! Looks almost like a funny nebula than a
galaxy even today. I didn't check to see if there's some raw Hubble
data on it. Nothing made into a pretty picture that I found. It should
resolve some of the super giants in it.
