Welcome to the forum. Lots of knowledge here. Good people. Find yourself a 66 Service Manual for sure. You have a nice car and it will be interesting what you learn about it's history. Love those 66 Cutlass Convertibles.

had a lot to be desired and you have to keep up with the 2 set screws on each
side of the handle and keep it tight. If not, that is when they go South.
Following along and I will 2nd the CSM for 66, good luck with her.

Good ones are tough to find, the inner workings of the shifter and handle
had a lot to be desired and you have to keep up with the 2 set screws on each
side of the handle and keep it tight. If not, that is when they go South.

Just for fun, from published numbers:
There were 114130 Cutlasses of on kind or another built in 1966.
Of those only 12154 were convertibles.
If you back out the 2853 442 Convertibles built, that leaves us with 9301.
How many do we think are left? I don't know but you, I and some others have one.
Enjoy your new ride.

Stock or not....Dream car
Looks awesome. You are going to enjoy the hell out of showing it at shows etc. Most folks that saw my triple black cutlass said " is it a 442, does it have the 442 in it, obvious they had no clue but loved the car so I just said its a 455 but not a 442. They did not care and usually just told me how they or someone they knew had one that they loved. Enjoy your good fortune to have a legend that will always in our lifetime be coveted by folks.
