That is a gorgeous interior!

I think that's a fair price for this.

Don't care for the tires and rims. If I bought it, I would def give it a high-quality paint job.

 

The 389 was definitely larger than any engine option from the factory. But, still. dropping a Pontiac mill into an Olds seems somehow out of place

 

The only engine you could get in the '65 Vista Cruiser was the Olds 330 cubic-inch V8. Curiously, in '65, Olds had the 330 V8, and for the full-sized cars the 425 cubic-inch V8...but nothing in between, except for the 400 cubic-inch V8 that was exclusive to the Cutlass 4-4-2 model.

 

You're right. I was confusing this one with the previous year's engine option of which was a one year only high-performance version of the 330 for the first year's 4-4-2
