Fine looking car! It's not actually a Custom Sport, is it? A Custom Sport should have buckets? Or have they been removed?

Welcome from a fellow 65 CS hdtp owner.
That's a great looking starting point.
I'm sure any help needed is available here.
Please post more pics as you get them.

 I know, right?:) But that was not for the sake of this particular car, but for the other. Previous owner took out interior and put into another car, put what's left into this one.

If it makes your search any easier, the buckets you are looking for are shared with the 1965 Impala SS, the highest production SS. Upholstery is the same as well, so reproductions are available.

Sorry Cam, seats are the same but upholstery is different from 65 SS.

I may already have found them. Thanks. Yeah, i already learned that most of the car is pretty much 65 impala. Either way i'll need to reupholster the whole interior after some major chassis and drivetrain issues are fixed.
