Classic Mopar: 1965 Dodge Custom 880

Todays next feature is a vintage Dodge Custom 880, which sat near the top of Dodge’s full-size lineup, below the new-for-1965 Monaco but above the regular Polara. The 1965 redesign moved Dodge away from the wilder Virgil Exner years and into the cleaner, more formal Elwood Engel era: slab sides, crisp roofline, stacked visual mass, and enough chrome to make restraint seem suspicious. Power should come from a 383 cubic inch with a 4bbl carburetor, good for 315 SAE gross horspower mated to a 2-speed torqueflight auto. This isn’t a bad way to get into a rad old muscle car from the year that marked the pinnacle of the automobile. Find this 1965 Dodge Custom 880 offered for $18,000 in Clark, SD via face880 custombook. Tip from Michael.
