thanks for the info on the production numbers in 1963, i guess this one here 
is the 4 door sedan, so, 9,000 custom 880s were made in 63, huh, that is 
alot more than thought before.  more customs 880s were made than regular 
880s, damn, i thought it was special, ha, just kidding, i like the car and 
would get it from my friend joe if i had time/money, because he is looking 
to sell it and dont know what to ask for it.  i saw some beaten up junkyard 
versions for 4000$ on the autotrader type selling site, but, i dont think 
joe would take that for his dodge.  he tells me if thats all it would bring, 
he is gonna keep it.  although he did have an offer to trade a 2 bedroom 
house for the dodge straight up, haha.  i may tell him to jump on it. thanks 
for the details in your email, it helped confirm what i was finding out, 
that it is rare, but not upside down stamp rare.

thanks again..

mike..
