Rare car here - looks like one of 122 from the limited research I did on production numbers.

Wow, were they really using that style of build sheet in 1965???? Love the car, but "Buyer beware" that it's being sold by Volo Auto Sales

Not just was that form used, but the "aging" looks more like lighter burn damage than spring rust.

The "sheet" looks very familiar. I could make a pretty good guess concerning its origin.

Same guys that tried to sell me a fake LS6 Chevelle convert that they were involved in building.

Removed from listing, no longer available.
Agreed, appears to be a very nice restoration.

I’ve only seen a 66 4 speed starfire my favorite year is 1965 full size Oldsmobiles.

Not your father's Oldsmobile

All the issues aside...very cool car.
