I built a lot of model cars as a kid and AMT did a 1965 Dynamic 88 promo model for Olds. It was also released in kit form. I painted it a similar light blue as your car- Testors PLA enamel No.8 blue!

425 would have been the only factory option.

FYI, that velour upholstery is not original, as the OP may know. From your cowl tag this car has blue vinyl from the factory.

It's the 425 a little bit upgraded, new water pump, new cam gears and chain, and the camshaft is new including lifters, although I do not know what cam they put in, according to previous owner it's supposed to be a little bit wilder than stock, and an edelbrock performer intake and an edelbrock 750 carb, and behind the 425 is the stock 3speed automatic, runs really good lots of torque

Thanks, I fell for the color also, it grows on you,
I will look into Darksiders, I have already noted that this is a tricky car to fix or upgrade, a lot of stuff for the cutlass but not so much for these big ones
