1969 Oldsmobile Delta 88 2dr convertible in triple black (black top, black paint and black interior). This car was purchased originally in November of 1968 by a lawyer in Paterson, New Jersey and comes with the original Protect-O-Plate, registration, inspection, owner's manual and warranty paperwork. The car has 75,450 original miles on it.

The canvas convertible top is new and has no tears, rips or wear marks and is all power that works perfectly with new hydraulic struts. The interior has just been gone through and has new carpet, custom floor mats, etc. The factory a/m radio is mounted in the original location in the dash and an aftermarket Pioneer head unit is mounted in the glove box. The floor pans and underside of the car are in great shape with no signs of rust and I have photos of the floors when the carpet and pad were out of the car. The seats are in great shape and the front seat is power. The glove box latch was not functional, but a new one has been ordered and I should have it installed in a few days.

The 88 is powered by an Rocket 350 that doesn't smoke, leak, burn oil, get hot, etc. It starts every time and it is a great driving car. Automatic transmission shifts fine and the exhaust is new. Factory air conditioning blows cold, heater blows hot, power brakes, power steering. We drive this car on the weekends and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere.

The wheels have factory 88 wheel covers and the chrome and trim on the car are in good condition. I would describe the paint as "driver quality" and it looks great as a cruiser. I purchased the car already painted and don't have any information about who painted it, etc. It is not a concours Haggerty Condition 1 paint job, so I'm not asking $34,100 for it...

It is the ultimate family cruiser and I have clean Texas title in my name.

Asking $19,500 obo and located in Longview, Texas.

Thanks! It draws a crowd everywhere we drive it.

Just to clarify, you mean 1 of 5200 (actually 5294) Delta 88 convertibles of all colors made in 1969, not 1 of 5200 triple-black convertibles. The way you've stated it, this is not clear.

My apologies Jaunty, I corrected it. Thanks

Just trying to avoid confusion.

That's a very nice car. I have a not dissimilar one myself, a '67 Delta 88 convertible. Good luck with the sale.

Oh no worries man, you know how it is when you're trying to describe a car in an ad. I have so much I want to say about it, but its hard to put it all into words.

Thanks for the compliment, they're great cars!
