I love everything about this Olds, my kind of car!! If it were mine I would install proper bias ply white walls and wheel discs as specified on the W/S. - Bill W

ordered for performance, not comfort. Just amazing. I'd install a set of original Cragar SS wheels and call it done.

Very cool car...and the 3 speed is the bomb! It was a Ford toploader :biggthumpup:

Had to look up why they added the extra charge...it was for the floor shifter. Stock was a 3 speed on the column :shocked:

Different look from a previous advertisement.

Olds wheel disc with 7/8’’ W/W radials.

Not sure about the painted wheels with painted wheel weights.
I would think the wheels would be black, but I’m not an Oldsmobile guy.

Lose the mud flaps and paint the rims black, that's how it would be if I owned it.
Looks like the stance has been lifted a smidge too.
Not a fan of the fender mirrors but if the've been there forever so be it. I hope the mirror holes weren't filled and painted by the current seller?? :no:

Whitewalls and full wheel covers look 1000% better than the dog dish and blackwalls. I think those are the same full wheel covers that were on the 65 Olds Dynamic 88 that my parents bought new.

Very late build.

Cool Anti-Spin decal.

Nice car. What was the gearing in the transmission, I did see in the ad that the rear is 3.55s.

Yes he did.

Car currently has no outside rear view mirror at all. Is that the way they came standard? I would think by 65 at least the drivers side would be standard.

On a 1965 Tempest Series car which includes the GTO the “outside” rear view mirror was not standard equipment …. crazy.
You had to pay for that option.

In 1966 the outside mirror became standard equipment.
What took so long.
