Newbie's C Body

JAGGERMAN · Post by **JAGGERMAN** » Thu Nov 26, 15 12:56 am

Hi. Not really what you'd call muscle but this is the nearest I've got. 65 Dodge custom 880 vert. Unrestored 1 owner, original paint, 383 4bl, off road since 72 till this year. Arrived from California in August, I've managed to enjoy a bit before this crappy weather set in. Hope you don't mind a C body for variety. Simon

The condition is not as good as it looks in the photos. Obviously stored indoors and is rust free but is covered in nicks, scrapes and scratches, looks like it has been stored with stuff piled around it/on it

As long as you can make it reliable and can enjoy it, that's the main thing.

Get the nicks and scrapes repaired by touch up company and keep original paint. It is only original once, when its gone, there's no going back.

That look super clean.......Dinks, dents and scratches (cant see many), are all part of its character!!

Any more of the whole front end........love the nose on these!
