Cool find! Your happiness may depend on what you want from it. A restoration to as-delivered condition is probably not practical if you want to maintain your wallet and sanity. But a shiny complete-looking convertible cruiser with some liberties taken where you can't find the "right" trim parts, is entirely possible. More optimistically, the '65 880 shared a lot with the '65 Polara and Monaco. Same drivetrain, chassis, sheetmetal, bumpers, front trim, tail lights. Not side trim. Interior is different, but it would fit if you switch it all over from another model (Polara/Monaco). Standard engine was a 4bbl 383 / 315hp. I found no production numbers. Best of luck, -Art

for 500 you cant go wrong...
I used to know a guy who had a 65 Custom 880 Hardtop. Land Yacht to say the least. He had dropped in a 426 Max Wedge motor and installed the Long Ram intakes. I think the car ended up in Ohio somewhere...

For $500 it would already be home if it was me. If all the trim is there and the rust is minimal it will be no harder to shine up than any other c-body. Give Dante a call to see if Legendary makes seat covers for it. I know they do for other C-bodies. If it has a bucket seat interior they list them for a Polara which at least in Canada was a c-body in 65 https://www.legendaryautointeriors.com/w...amp;desc=polara Carpet is available also. Check out the C-body DryDock forum. http://www.cbodydrydock.com/forum.php Somebody there will have a bumper if the one that belongs to it has gone missing. Kevin

Jimmy, As everyone says it is kind of a one year only kind of deal. Alot of 66 parts are interchangeable. My Dad had a 66 Polara 500 that is real similar to this car. I loved that car & wish he never traded it. I am also in Livonia Mi. If you decide not to buy it or would like me to go with you to look at it a little more let me know.

I have had both, my parents bought a 64 Custom 880 brand new, had it till 89.
I was driving it in the 80's in high school. Finding body stuff was hell, as it was a one yr bodystyle. There was a 2 door in a junk yard that i got most of he stuff off of. It was a stock driver.
The mechanicals were pretty easy to find, regular mopar stuff, took a long time as in the 80's there still wasnt a good after market supply.
1965, pretty much the same as Polara, Monaco, the 880 was just a upscale Monaco. Most of the C body chrysler stuff will work, and its available, just gotta search for it.
Bad ass car, if you search the 62-65 mopar site, for 65 880, i think the black one they have on it was mine.
Black, with blacked out windows, red interior, lowered on chrome reverse 60 series rims, 383 with a cam and 727 with a manual valve body
