66 F85 Deluxe Holiday Coupe 442 Tri Carb

This is my first post. I am seeking any photos of 66 F85 DHC 442's. I am interested in purchasing one as well but must be this model. I owned one when I was 19 and it was special ordered from the factory. It was forest green, black interior with bench seat, side mounted tach, L69, sport wheels, 4 speed hurst, about $2800. I didn't like the Cutlass because of the chrome running front to rear on the side of the body. Loved this car!! FYI...I traded in a 65 Mustang Fastback HIPO was $3300, I got $1500 trade in. It was really worn..raced a lot.

Been working on on installing the L69 intake & carbs I restored last winter on my friends 66 442 this past week.

It will be up for sale in a few months, price will be high 20's


edit...
FYI... His car is Maroon metallic, black interior, Buckets, console & 4spd.
Highly optioned (likely not original, but its there now...) Rear power antennae, vacume operated trunk release, AC, Rally pac tach & guages, Cruise Control, Rear defrost, 15x8 SS1's and Redlines, and of course now the L69 Tricarb setup. Its a very VERY nice car.

Thanks for the input and the one on Ebay is nice, I did see it awhile ago and might call the owner. I am still open and realize this model car is very rare. Thanks again in Burlington, NC

There is a gentleman here in Detroit that is a huge Olds collector and fan.
He has a great reputation here in Detroit.
He has the car listed on CraigsList Detroit
If you use the keywords Thanx.you will see his ad .
I have seen the car in person and it is perfect.
I hope the attachment comes through..
