'73 Delta 88 Convertible

1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Convertible, Rocket 350 V8, auto trans, straight body, almost entirely rust free, newer white top, original wire rims, pertronix eletronic ignition, new spark plugs and wires, newer interior, cd player, burgundy exterior and interior, new brakes, no cracks in dash,
Engine knocks and will probably need some work. It runs fine with the timing advanced, but knocks otherwise. I am offering the car at a lower price than another convertible of this level, because the engine will need attention/money and other suspension work may be needed. I would love to beef up her performance for my own enjoyment, but I am too busy, and this car deserves someone who does have the time

Email me with any questions or specific pictures you would like. You can see my other posts for issues that I have had recently with the car...

That sure is a pretty car. Too bad you are all the way out in CA. Big cars are AWSOME!

A rebuilt 455 would slip right into that engine bay and solve the knocking problem. Wonder how much delivery would be half way across the nation?

Probably too much if the person buying it had also just purchased a house. Unless of course he could get a loan from his family.
