Rare, not really.  The V-266 was used from 3/67 until mid-69 when it was
replaced with the V-304, so it represents 2 years of V-8 production,
although the V-8 probably wasn't used as much then as it was in later
years.

Whb is 100" for both models, track of the 800 is listed as 54.5, II as
57.1.  Big difference is in the rear overhang--30" on the 800, 42" on the
II.  I believe the frame and spring spacing is narrower on the II to get
the sharper turning angle.
