So I was looking through some of my catologs and noticed that the '66 dident have much listed for parts. I was looking at buying this one. http://seattle.craigslist.org/kit/cto/5426442171.html However I may stear clear if I cant get parts. So heres my questions. 1: Is there a major differance from the '65 to the '66? Such as if I need to replace a floor pan, door skin, ect. Or can I use replacement panels off a '65? 2: Is there anything I should look for when I go look at the car? Such as missing "hard to find parts"? 3: I like the looks of the '65 but would it be better to get a '70 since parts are more available ? Any input would help me make up my mind.... |

'66s are easier than earlier-year cars to get parts for. Floor pans are the same. Doors are interchangeable back to '64. Whole front-end assemblies and whole dashboards swap among all '63-'66 A-bodies. |

If all you want is a safe, running, driving car there are plenty of parts that interchange with a '66. If you want to keep your '66 pure, the front sheetmetal, tail lights, quarter panels, and deck lid are pretty much '66 only, as is most of the trim. |

Ok good to know. I havent seen the car but am expecting some rust in the typical areas. I do plan on using it as a daily driver for a bit so I can fix the floor in my truck. I just wanted to make sure I wasent diving into something I cant fix... |
