Hello all.
First time here.
I found a 1965 Dodge 880 Custom in a garage last weekend for a great price and I am trying to decide if I should buy it or not. The person selling it is the original owner and he thinks all of the parts are there. (I could not find the rear bumper) He has put some bondo on the front fenders behind the wheels and a little on the passenger door and other than that the body seems solid.
My question is this. (More like questions)
How easy is it to find body panels and other trim for this car?
The convertible top is all intact except for the rear glass/plastic.
The carpet and padding is gone and the seats need to be redone.

Can you guys give me some ideas on where to find these types of parts and if this car is worth putting the time and money into? From what I have seen, this car has not been on the road since 1973.
Are there any problem areas on the car that I should check or any known issues? Rotting? Mechanical?

The only holes I can see are the small ones in the trunk area so I think the unibody is pretty solid.

Thanks for you time

Jim
