1966 Body Parts

ijasond · February 27th, 2007, 08:13 PM

I recently picked up a 66 Delta 88 with some heavy body damage. I run a body shop & have restored older trucks, but I can't find any where to get body parts for this car. Does anyone know where I can find fenders, bumpers, grilles, etc? Thanks!

What part of the country are you in? Keep an eye on ebay, it's amazing what kind of things turn up there. Also post a free parts wanted ad on this site, 442.com and realoldspower.com But be sure and post the city and state your in for the parts wanted ads. For large or heavy items shipping can kill a sale! You can also surf craigslist.com checking different cities around the country doing a search for Oldsmobile. In addition, you can contact the nearest Oldsmobile or 442 club to see if anybody in your part of the country has parts. Welcome to the hobby, and good luck in your search! John

I found a hood & a quarter panel out in Arizona, unfortunately those are the 2 parts that I could actually repair on my car. My right fender, bumpers, grille, & right headlamp area are destroyed. I really need those more than anything. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

There is a 66 Delta on Ebay now in the parts section....car is in VA and price is 800 or best offer. If not sold goes to junkyard/crusher ...it is a convert....maybe ya wanna look into it.

I think the Convertables, Dynamics & Deltas are all the same as far as body parts go. But does anyone know what years are compatible? It looks like 65 will work, will the 98 parts fit? I found a couple possible donor cars & a couple of salvage yards that say they might have the parts.

Only 65 88 doors will match and quarters except for where it wraps around for the quarter extentions.....98 stuff wont work except the doors from a 2 door....but am not 100 percent on that.
