I came across this cutlass on Ebay, he has I listed and describes it as a 67 but isn't it a 66? Just curious, for science.

sounds like he may be over revving it to compensate for the demon carb and a need tune up? Probably wore out engine expect a rebuild very soon.

But that's not the correct front end for at 67 right? Although the Pre-68 Body Style is heavily growing on me, Im not too familiar with it.

That is definitely not a '67 front end. It looks like a '66. The front end of the '67 Cutlass was changed dramatically over the '65 and '66, with an obvious difference being placement of the turn signal lights in the grille between the high and low-beams on each side.


1965 front end:





1966:




1967:
