66 delta 88 project

I just recently bought a 66 delta 88 and im having a hard time finding parts for it online. Is there any websites or other 66 gm cars that are interchangeable with this particular vehicle?

About the only things that interchange with other 65-66 GM cars are body glass, weatherstripping and a few heater and airconditioning pieces.

Even then, those parts have to come from a car of same body platform (B-body in this case) and body style (2-door hardtop which is a "37" body style in GM/Fisher Body-speak and a Holiday Coupe in Olds-speak). Your VIN and underhood data plates should have 5837 for Delta 88 Holiday Coupe.

Any reproduction parts available will probably come from Fusick Automotive www.fusick.com and look for 61-75 full-size car catalog.

Past that it's NOS or good used.

Engine parts should not be a problem. They are generic Oldsmobile to most Olds engines.

All the interior, back seat, hood. It has a 350 small block in it not the original 425 super rocket. The guy I bought it from told me 66 caprice/ impala parts are interchangeable with it. This is my first build so I'm trying to peace it together.

Yea it's a holiday coupe. I'm trying to keep it all original as possible. The website you shared has a lot of parts I'm going to need for under the hood. Other then that I'm going to have to keep searching. Appreciate the help

Many underhood, brake, and other parts are available from RockAuto. Interior parts are going to be the hardest to find.

"The Guy" was sadly wrong, All interior pieces will need to be found on a parts car and the soft trim, door panels Seat covers etc need to be remade by an upholstery shop. The 65 B bodies share a lot of interior parts but the vinyl patterns will be different. Parts are out there you need to search, Ebay, FB marketplace, Craigslist, and Sites such as Classic Oldsmobile.

Yes as said others have asked about crating and shipping, I will pull the engine for whoever is interested after payment is made but pallet-ing and pickup is on the buyer. It is still for sale... nobody has nailed it down with a deposit. Weather has been rough...
