Take a close look at this 1965 Dodge 880 convertible. Seem familiar? Probably not. This lengthy vintage droptop represents a seldom-seen model in an even more seldom-seen configuration. Back in the mid-'60s, car buyers were clamoring for a spacious ride with plenty of curb appeal that didn't come with a price tag on par with a home mortgage. This was Dodge's answer to that demand but, as it turned out, not many 880s rolled off the assembly line in convertible form. Dressed in Ruby Red paint, this '65 is a veritable time capsule on wheels, and it offers you a couple of compelling options. With its solid running condition that's anchored by a road-ready 318 cubic inch Polyspheric V8, an exterior that's dressed in vibrant Ruby Red paint, and an interior whose key components are present and accounted for, with a number of them in surprisingly good condition - that's a HUGE plus in a car from this era - this is a classic that's more than ready to be enjoyed in its present state. Or you can put in the well-warranted time and effort to fully restore this distinctive Dodge to its former glory. The choice is yours.
