Hi Guys... I have been surching alot and found alot of info on the car..
(
AND THANKS KEN ! for your input !, Would LOVE to own a convirt Delta one of these days too !.. FUN CARS !
First of all, NO MORE HP & compresion discusions !
its a genuine 365HP 1:10.25 compression motor CODED: U0 4. I found official documents of olds and the F85 body and the all state the same !!!
These HO455 L31 engines were build UNTILL 71 and AFTER 71 the HP went down al the way because of compression dropping and enviremental demands etc. So I ! im 10000% confinced thats 100% sure ( car handles like it too !0
I also read some articles about this car as a police special ! with al the goodies there too. Here are some specs :
0-60 6.9 / 1/4 mile standing 15.2 at 90.6 miles per hour / Topspeed: 145mph
That matches my own findings quit a bit ! ( but deu too better tires i was even a bit quicker..)
AGAIN... This is 100% treu data.
I didnt find out more about the exterior L31 items on the car , but i have the
buildsheet and found out its a first owner car ! ( came directly from first woner..) sad that there are no phone numbers etc so i cant contact him.
Here is the option / buildsheet data :

(this dealer syill exist!)
Linden plant etc etc
Further more i read some stuff that this was treuly the last of the olds musclecars , and in itself ( with or without L31 exterior) a rare car, because
olds real muscle cars in those days were mostly Cutlass 442 cars..
Howfar this is a rear car , i cant tell , but even to find other L31 engined
cars is hard for me.
Im on a lead that there were some dealers making additional options on cars and even sold options seperate from the factory.. its a fresh lead but i will look into that some more !
Iff anyone has some additional info ??? let me know !
The searche continues !!
