Nice customization. Even has a nicely sculpted console to go with the bucket seats. I don't believe buckets were even an option for the Delta in 1971.

Nice looking car that would likely look even better if it wasn't green.

I agree Alan. Love everything about the car BUT the color. It isn't bad, just not in love with it.

Could be a smoking hot 88.

Joffroi, black cherry with parchment
vinyl top and interior would look good too!
I like their mods, tasteful.

I'm really just happy 24" rims were slapped onto it.

Whatever size they are, they look good.
Not crazy about the paint on the
oil cap, dip stick or breather top.

Heck yeah Black Cherry would be sweet. Burgundy Mist would work nicely too with the added benefit of being an Olds color.

This appears to be a very nicely done car, but still strong money. When you remove the hood and Hurst wheels, it is a really nice '71 Delta,...in green,... for $17000... Maybe more on target in black,...and convertible!! Definitely a car for a buyer with a specific taste as well as budget in my opinion.

I love this car. I enjoy looking at the build very nice delta I would say lots of hard work worth the asking price if someone's willing to pay it.

You're kidding, right?

A 1971 Delta 88 Royale 2-door is valued at just under $11,000, in Number 1 condition.

In Number 2 condition (which this car MAY be, depending on the details), the value is around $7,500.

Someone spent a whole lot of money on a car that will never be worth half of what he wants to get for it.
This car is an illustration of the advice that you shouldn't put a lot of money into a car that is at base undesirable, unless you intend to keep it forever.

That's a tautology.
