You could always post the numbers on the Fisher Body plate. That would tell us a lot about what it is.

You have a 66 Cutlass 2dr post, everything you note can be correct for you car.
Bucket seats were standard while a floor console was an extra cost option.

Did some more research and think its a Cutlass Sport Coupe!!
Daily driver while I work on my 65 Delta...her 425 is at the machine shop getting bored .030 over and new forged pistons. Everthing from the cam up was hammered and a comp-cam ***** thumper roller kit should ad nicly to the party...but enough of the B body....with a new A body in the nest, very very excited to not hear they don't make that for that car. She is numbers matched and a bone stock facelift down the line for her!

How is it numbers matched? Do you have the protecto plate or original documents? that's the only way to prove a numbers matching 66 car.

I am purchasing from original owners daughter and she has two plates in the book as well as the receipt (po) from Calder Oldsmobile. She says her dad got it new and never even took off the hubcaps...still on the original steel wheels!
