1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88

For fifty years, from 1949 through 1999 Oldsmobile built the model 88 in ten different generations. And from 1950 through 1974 the Model 88 was Oldsmobiles most popular and profitable vehicle. They were a large luxury automobile that commanded presence like the Lincolns and Cadillacs but had a much lower price point appealing to the masses. This particular car is a 7th generation car equipped with the Rocket V8 that put a whopping 150 HP due to federal regulations, safety and a fuel crisis. This particular car comes out of long-term ownership with the same family selling the black 73 hardtop that they bought new that we have listed. This car has had a red re-paint some time ago from its original color of what we believe to be green. The paint is old and there are many cosmetic issues but mechanically it seems to be decent. It starts right up, runs and drives down the road. It has been sitting for several years so a tune up, fluid flush and overall inspection would be recommended before a long road trip. This would make a great driver with a little bit of work or an excellent candidate for a restoration as it appears to be very solid with no rot or corrosion. In fact, the body is quite strait with great lines and good door gaps with no door sag at all. The convertible top operates well and is in good original condition. This car is priced accordingly knowing full well that it is not perfect.
