Oldsmobile : Eighty-Eight DELTA 88 ROYAL

Gorgeous original condition and SUPER RARE 1979 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royal Coupe Diesel. This car is a 1 owner senior driven car. with 60000 original miles ( 100. 00 KMS). This Oldsmobile was garage kept her whole life. and after receiving the "collector status" issues by the insurance company after a thorough process. the Delta 88 has been barely driven in the last 3 years. mainly parked in the garage with occasional weekend use just to keep the fluids flowing and battery in good condition.
Last insured in December 2013. the car has sat a few months and is now finally up for sale.
This is an honest original Delta 88 Royal Coupe. with regular wear and tear. some rust on the doors and some frugal repairs done to it by the original owner . ALL pictures are real. unaltered. just enhanced for you to see the car for what it truly is. All pictures of flawed areas are taken as well. and any curious areas you want pictures of. we will gladly take them and email them to you so you are well informed of this Delta 88's condition.  
Receipts. owners manuals. warrantee guide etc are also included with the car. right down to the original Oldsmobile factory correct floor mats.
Appearance Exterior:
8/10 Original condition. what you see in the pictures is exactly what you get. Serious head turner especially when people hear the diesel engine powering this gorgeous Delta 88.
Some scuff's. chipped paint here and there. a scrape on the passenger door. some bubbling rust on rear bumper. top on vinyl roof showing age. WE TOOK PICTURES OF ALL IMPERFECT AREAS FOR YOU TO SEE!
All wheel trims and centre caps intact. nothing is missing at all. Chrome and aluminum trim shines bright.
Appearance Interior:
9. 5/10
GM's famous headliner sagging. it is pinned up . The steering wheel trim has some areas of wear. dash pad has one nick in it hard to see. the passenger door panel has a nick in it as well. also in a harder to see area covered by the right side of the dash when the door is closed. That is all for issues of the interior.
Floor Pans/ Trunk floors:
10/10 Perfect
Glass:
10/10 perfect
Tires:
95% on all 4 tires ( 9. 5/10 condition)

-cruise control is factory with this car. but is not working 
-AC is factory with this car. compressor and condenser missing. all other components are intact
-Oddly enough the heater does not work ( fan blows air though ). the heater core is not bypassed. and does not leak. I'm sure its the thermostat selector that has perhaps unhooked itself from the cable to activate cold or hot settings in the car. we did not look into it.
Drivability:
10/10 
The car has recent Monroe shocks. smooth clean ride. No noises . rattling. clunking at all. General motors added extra sound proofing to all their car's with Diesel engines . and it really makes the difference.
Engine runs excellent. it takes 2-3 tries when cold. then its a flick of the key(literally. see video) and it starts up no problem when warm. This is a replacement GM good wrench 350 Diesel engine . replaced in 1989. I'm sorry I cannot tell you how many miles are on the engine. however they are very very low miles. I have a video on YOUTUBE of me driving the car at freeway speeds. and I also have a walk around and engine start video. you will be able to see how the engine instantly starts. and see the exhaust while its running. Its quite a nice clean running Diesel for a 1979. Engine has a rear seal sweat. we will be replacing the seal ( involves removing the transmission etc. at our expense. we may change the front seal while its at the shop. just as good measure. front seal does not leak. )
Transmission is perfect. no issues at all. shifts as it should. 10/10
Steering is normal. no pulls. and no pulls when braking. alignment is good. 10/10
Brakes were making a squealing noise AFTER  the car was washed. I'm sure it will go away when it dries up. otherwise the car stops confidently ( not sure what the percent of brake pad is. however brakes were done years ago and low low use of the vehicle since) As it is. its a solid 8/10. due to me not knowing pad life. otherwise 10/10 condition.
