1966 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Base 7.0L 96000 ORIG MILES READY TO DRIVE PROTECTOPLATE

1966 OLDSMOBILE DELTA 88 WITH APPROXIMATELY 96000 MILES.   TWO DOOR CAR WITH FULL POWER WINDOWS. POWER STEERING. TILT AND TELESCOPING WHEEL. RARE HEADREST OPTION. FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING. 425 CU. IN. V-8 WITH 4 BARREL CARB IN GREAT CONDITION.   READY TO DRIVE ANYWHERE.   COMES WITH ORIGINAL PROTECT-O-PLATE WITH ALL PAPERWORK.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM THE OWNER OF A PAINT AND BODY SHOP AND HE PAINTED THE CAR PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE.   THE PAINT IS NEAR FLAWLESS IN A BLUISH-GREEN TINT AND PROBABLY BETTER THAN IT CAME FROM THE FACTORY IN MY OPINION.   THERE ARE ABOUT 6 OR 7 VERY SMALL CHIPS OR BLEMISHES TOTAL ON THE ENTIRE CAR. THAT'S IT.   OTHER THEN THOSE. THE PAINT IS IN MINT CONDITION.   THE FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS HAVE BEEN RE-CHROMED AND ARE ALSO IN NEAR MINT CONDITION.   THE REST OF THE TRIM IS ORIGINAL AND DOES HAVE SOME PITTING AND DINGS IN IT BUT VERY ACCEPTABLE.   I WAS TOLD THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ALL IT'S LIFE.   THERE IS NO RUST TO MY KNOWLEDGE ANYWHERE ON THE CAR.   ALL WHEEL WELLS. DOOR SILLS. ETC. APPEAR PERFECT.   THE HUB CAPS ARE ALL GOOD EXCEPT DRIVERS FRONT WHICH HAS SEVERAL DINGS.   THE PREVIOUS OWNER INSTALLED THE RUBBER BETWEEN THE BUMPERS AND BODY AND IT IS NOT THE CORRECT TYPE BUT WORKS.   OVERALL I WOULD GIVE THE EXTERIOR AN 8 OUT OF 10 DUE TO THE TRIM.   PAINT IS 9. 5 OUT OF 10.

INTERIOR IS ALL ORIGINAL EXCEPT FOR THE RADIO (WHICH IS TERRIBLE) AND THE SEAT UPHOLSTERY.   THE SEATS HAVE BEEN REDONE IN VINYL TO A FAIRLY LOW STANDARD.   THE PREVIOUS OWNER ALSO STICHED UP THE HEADLINER AT ONE SEAM.   EVERYTHING ELSE IS IN ORIGINAL CONDITION WITH THE DASH BEING VERY GOOD ALONG WITH THE REAR SHELF.   DOOR PANELS SHOWN SOME SIGNS OF WEAR BUT ARE ACCEPTABLE.   ORIGINAL STEERING WHEEL HAS SOME CRACKS BUT WORKS PERFECT ALONG WITH THE TILT AND TELESCOPING WHEEL WHICH IS REALLY COOL.   OVERALL I WOULD GIVE THE INTERIOR 6 OF 10 DUE TO THE HEADLINER AND VINYL SEATS.

WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR. I HAD THE ENTIRE FRONT SUSPENSION REDONE INCLUDING LINKAGE. BALL JOINTS. BUSHINGS. SHOCKS. CONTROL ARMS. ETC. THE BILL WAS OVER $2600 FOR ALL THE WORK. THE REAR SHOCKS WERE ALSO DONE SO THE CAR'S SUSPENSION IS PERFECT.   THE CAR DRIVES STRAIGHT AND SMOOTH AND DOES NOT WANDER DOWN THE ROAD AT ALL.   ALL FOUR TIRE HAVE GREAT TREAD LEFT (ABOUT 70-80%).

THE ENGINE IS STRONG WITH NO KNOWN ISSUES RATED AT 375 HP AND 470 LB FT OF TORQUE.   IT HAS A FEW SMALL OIL LEAKS BUT NOTHING MAJOR.   I HAVE NEVER HAD TO ADD OIL BETWEEN CHANGES.   THERE IS A NEW ALTERNATOR. SEVERAL HOSES. BRAND NEW HEATER CORE. ETC.   THE THREE SPEED TRANSMISSION HAS NO ISSUES AND THE CAR IS READY TO GO.   THE CAR CRUISES DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 70 -75 MPH NO PROBLEM.   I JUST DROVE THE CAR 100 MILES ROUND TRIP LAST WEEKEND WITH NO ISSUES.

EVERYTHING ON THE CAR WORKS WITH THE FOLLOWING EXCEPTIONS. CLOCK WORKS SOMETIMES. WIPERS DO NOT WORK AS THEY SHOULD BUT SOMETIMES FUNCTION.   I THINK THE WIPERS JUST NEED A NEW SWITCH.   THE WIPER MOTOR IS GOOD.   THE TURN SIGNALS ARE NOT WORKING.   I WAS TOLD THIS IS DUE TO MECHANICAL PORTION INSIDE THE STEERING COLUMN.   SINCE THE COLUMN TELESCOPES. THERE IS A MECHANICAL CABLE INSIDE THAT IS BROKEN AND I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND THE CORRECT ONE.   ELECTRICALLY. THE SIGNALS ARE FINE. JUST NEED THIS CABLE REPLACED.   THE AIR CONDITIONING IS NOT WORKING.   MY MECHANIC SAID THE COMPRESSOR IS WORKING BUT HE THINKS THERE IS A LEAK IN THE SYSTEM SOMEWHERE SO THE FREON ALL LEAKED OUT.   I WAS OK WITHOUT THE A/C SO I NEVER HAD IT TESTED FOR LEAKS.    EVERYTHING ELSE ON THE CAR WORKS AS IT SHOULD TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE.

I AM LOCATED IN NORTH SAN DIEGO COUNTY AND ENCOURAGE ANYONE INTERESTED TO CONTACT ME TO SEE THE CAR IN PERSON.   IT'S A REALLY COOL OLD CAR IN GREAT DRIVER CONDITON (NOT SHOW CONDITION) THAT GETS LOOKS EVERYWHERE IT GOES.   I BOUGHT THE CAR A COOL WEEKEND CRUSER FOR THE FAMILY BUT THE WIFE AND KID HATE IT SO THIS IS WHY I AM SELLING IT.   IF I WAS GOING TO KEEP THE CAR. THE ONLY THINGS I WOULD DO TO IT ARE FIX THE A/C. WIPERS. AND TURN SIGNAL AND PROBABLY RE-DO THE SEATS BACK TO ORIGINAL FABRICS.   PLEASE EMAIL IF YOU NEED ANY MORE INFO OR ADDITIONAL PICTURES.   $12. 50 OR BEST OFFER.
