This 66 auto, with tripower just sold at Mecum in Kissimmee for around 25k. You can't tell much from the pictures, but it from the descriptions above it looks to be between a 2 and a 3. Sold very well then IMO.

As for as converting an automatic to a 4 speed, a lot of us older folks are getting to where it's hard (if not impossible) to drive a manual shift car. I've been in the market for a reasonable priced 65-6 2+2 with an auto for a while now. They are not easy to find unless you want a project. I'm over projects!
That 66 does look like a 2+2 but of course could have been made up. But the 2+2 specific stuff all seems to be there. The specific seat vinyl pattern is correct for a 2+2, the dash insert says "Pontiac " in block letters, a Catalina would say "Catalina" in script, the rear quarter louvers of course and the door panels all look correct for a 2+2. The wood grain is wrong of course. 66's had their own unique body style code for the 2+2 so it would be easy to verify, unless they changed the VIN too.
