Hello!
I was called to tow a 63 Dodge 880 hiding in a storage unit. I spoke with the owner and made a deal to buy it. She’s owned it since 1971 and says it came from a “CHP” auction. I got it home and ive been digging in to it one thing at a time. First item is getting the radiator resealed and restored.
Ive decoded the serial number but I’m still looking for clues of its CHP heritage.
It has these CHP items:
An ivory steering wheel
Certified speedo
Manual steering
#3 in the serial for police production
And some white lettering on the fender
Anything else to look for? The spots and other mounting holes are long gone.
Previous owner called him “cooker” and had a holley efi setup added. So thats a cool bonus since this will be my wife’s car show car along side my 1936 Chevy Hotrod pickup.
