The Dodge Custom 880 of 1964 strutted onto the scene with a complete body makeover, leaving its predecessors feeling like outdated fashion. This model revved up Dodge’s success with 31,800 units, yet convertible versions were as elusive as a unicorn in a parking lot. A quirky gem, unique to Mopar, was the dash-mounted push-button shift mechanism—perfect for those who love their gear changes with a side of novelty. Thanks to Gateway Classic Cars, we have images to prove this beauty wasn’t just a myth!
The Dodge Custom 880 was in production from 1962 through to 1965 and the ’64 has received a complete body change over previous years. This model did well for the Dodge Division that year, with 31,800 units produced, but fewer convertible versions. A seldom seen feature, unique to Mopar, is the dash mounted push button shift mechanism.
