1965 Dodge 880 Convertible Red RWD Automatic 2S
1965 Dodge 880 2S
Vehicle DetailsThis 1965 Dodge 880 convertible has the right combination of style, originality, and rarity that makes mid-60s Mopars so special. From the handsome styling to a 318 Poly V8, this drop-top is a seldom-seen Dodge that delivers big-car comfort in one sleek package.
History is on your side with this Dodge. 1965 was the last year for the 880 model range and there were only about 1,400 convertibles produced. So a car this complete is a truly rare find today. These full-sized cars have a special feeling this year. Mopars were transitioning from exotic designs to something a bit more conservatively attractive, and this is a very cool middle point in that evolution. The front end has a very authoritatively straight style, but it also lets the bumpers dip to artfully highlight the headlights. The sides are arrow-straight with the full-length trim zooming the full profile, and you also have classic pieces like the fender skirts. And the rear seems to be both stylish and aggressive with its pulled taffy look. It's the kind of unique classic you'll want to drive. That's why the red paint has a bold style but nothing too fancy to make you nervous. And you even have an upgraded set of later Chrysler wheels.
The black roof has a tasteful look against the red paint. With the flip of a switch, the power-folding top goes down to reveal more of that great black appeal. The full interior has a very vintage/original quality to it, and so those who like classic pieces will love to point out the little details, like the AM radio with period-correct FM addition. A full-size classic means true comfort and plenty of room in the rear to make this a cruiser everyone can enjoy. But when you're cruising solo, it's also easy to just fold down the armrest and have an individual level of comfort. And everything from the dual gauge pod to the classic steering wheel reminds you that Mopars always had their own sense of style.
Under the hood is a very honest presentation, and if you're a Chrysler fan, you'll love showing this off. It's a desirable 318 cubic-inch "Polysphere" V8. Unrelated to the later 318 motor, this one evolved from the Red Ram 241ci Hemi. Its calling card was torque, and so they're great to drive. To complete this proper cruising machine are features like power steering, a three-speed automatic transmission, and wide modern tires.
The sale comes complete with maintenance records and title documentation. This is the rare, interesting, and full-size Mopar drop-top that's irresistibly priced. Call now!
