Hi David, thanks for the note. Around herre, 880's are very
rare. I don't recall ever having seen one-especially a wagon. I LIKE it!
Altho I have always been a Mopar man , all cars I have
built and raced have been Chevys( cost considered)
Below my name here , is a link to pics of my project. my
comments below some of the pics. . I will be up-dating it befor long.

Good Luck MO with your restoration.
I like you, enjoy reading and seeing problems solved by other
guys.
A year ago, I did not really know the difference between a 440
and an 880 as I was a Chevy man and did a lot of drag racing in in the early
1960's at Union Grove, WI, Milan, MI, and up until last year Sunshine
Dragway in St. Pete FL with a big block NOS 55 Chevy. I just
remember the Dodge and Plymouth coming on the scene back in the early
60's and thought they were neat.
I just really like the different look of the early 60
mopars and enjoy seeing what others are doing with similar cars. I hope
to find a 500 4 speed car after this one is done.
