What specifically are you looking for? Parts for these cars are hard to find as nobody is making any parts for them. Some interior parts, however, can be repaired by places like Just Dashes (http://www.justdashes.com/) or your local auto interior restoration shop. Others you will have to track down on eBay, in bone yards, or other owners with parts to spare!

There are no restoration guides that I know of. Most of us use the Fisher Body Manual, Chassis Services Manual and the factory assembly manual (Lynn Davis supplies these, let me know if you need his information).

Did the toronado have a trunk liner ? was the trunk carpeted? what color code is the air cleaner assembly.




I found a place that sells complete Door Trim complete package in the original color of your interior for around $850.00 complete. all 4 panels.

Ooh, hey, thanks. I was wondering what I was going to do about the cracked bake-lite on my steering wheel... it's only one or two small cracks, not a priority, but something I'd like to tend to eventually.

Max,
I'm asking the experts on how the trunk of the '66 was configured as I believe it was different than my '68. Either one of them will chime in, or I will post their answer.

The air cleaner was painted the same color as the engine. You can get the paint from Fusick (http://www.fusick.com):

The trunk was lined with a tan woven fabric... a fabric that was used on a lot of early 60s GM top quality cars (Buicks, Oldsmobiles, etc.). '66 was the last year of use in any GM car.

The fabric is reproduced...but the color is not 'exact' to the original.

Oh yeah, shoot, I tore all that out of mine, it just stank horribly... Wish I had been a bit more carefull with it... No biggie though.
