Any pictures of a 2 door 1977 Delta 88????

cts-v · January 17th, 2009, 08:09 PM

My first car was a maroon 1977 Delta 88 with an Olds 350. It was a 2 door with the partial vinyl top. I had lots of fun in that car, but haven't seen one like it in years. At some point I had 9 people in there (yes I was in high school). Anybody here have any pictures on one to post for me to look at? I hope so. Thanks. Tom.

I sold this one a couple years ago, 1977 Delta 88 Pace Car replica. I wish I could keep them all but I can't!

That is a pretty car John. Oldsguy owned one when I was a kid. He said it was one of the nicest cars he ever owned. I always thought one of those cars would look great with a 455 and Roots type blower.

2blu442, thanks for the pictures. That brings back lots of good memories. I wasn't smart enough to take a picture of it when I was 16/17. Thanks.

That '77 Pace Car does look good. I recall being disappointed however to learn that these cars came with split bench seats. If I ever bought one, I'd like to convert it to buckets and console. Probably doable, perhaps if expensive (console/shifter, steering column mods, custom upholstered buckets to match the interior).

In 77 or 78 the 88 was available as a Holiday 88. It has bucket seats and a console. I remember seeing one in the salvage yard once. I also think it had T-tops. I would gladly give my first born child for one of these cars (she is coming in April if you want to make a deal).

You better NOT!!!!!

Your mom will kill you.

And by the way, that '77 Delta 88 was one of the classiest, if not THE classiest cars I ever owned. Very nice car, and it was maroon with a half vinyl top too.

Olds64 · January 26th, 2009, 05:25 AM

Well, I would give mom a ride.

Still wouldn't work, cars don't impress her, grandkids do.

I just had baby number 2 this last week. Even though I loved my Delta 88 Royale, I wouldn't trade my new little girl for one. I guess you said first born though... There are certain days I might trade my 4 year old boy (first born)...

Congratulations! I bet you are stoked.

BTW, I was just kidding. I wouldn't trade my baby for anything, even an Oldsmobile.

It's funny you guys mention giving up your first-born for one of these cars

I have an original 77 Pace Car that my parents bought brand new. I was brought home from the hospital in this car when I was born. So, obviously (besides it's EXTREME rarity) it is very sentimental to me. My wife knows that under hard circumstances, that SHE AND THE KIDS GO BEFORE this car.

I call it my First Girlfriend, because it always got more attention than the chicks did, and not that they were ugly

Now you have to show us some pictures of your girlfriend.
