Heh. You're gonna have to fight StarGeneral for them (he's got a 65 Delta), but there are some guys here parting out 65-66 big Olds and there's alot of knowledge on the 60s fullsize cars.

There are no interior kits made for the 65 D88 so if you need side panels you'll have to get the stuff from another 1965 Dynamic as the patterns are different between Jetstar 88, Dynamic 88 and Delta 88. Seat frames are the same between all 1965-66 GM B-body cars and maybe up thru 68 so you can use frames from an Impala, Bonneville or LeSabre and have the Olds seat pattern stitched up. Carpet should be easy to find.

Good luck. A 65 88 is a sexy swoopy car, just little to no reproduction support for them.

Welcome to the site but we would like to get some correct info here. There was no 68 Starfire. 1966 was the last year for that in the B body style. The 455 was not produced till 1968 model year. The Starfire never came with a 455. The Starfire 425 was available in 1967 but still a 425 engine.

Lots of info available here you just need to ask specific questions. Also give your location as people with parts may reply that are close to you. NOS parts are VERY SCARCE for your car. You may want to try your local Craigslist and maybe pick up a parts car. It may be cheaper in the long run and quicker than trying to find the parts piece by piece.
