1972 Delta 88 Two Door Coupe

HoustonAE2 · July 1st, 2007, 03:17 PM

My grandmother recently pasted away and left me her car. A 1972 Detla 88. This is a clean granny car. It has a Rocket 350, turbo 350 tranny with 90,000 original miles. The interior is good but shows age. I would honestly rate it a 3. Paint is great, black vinal hardtop. I am wondering what the value is? I own a 1969 GTO and just don't have the room or time to restore, although this car is not needing much to get on the road and out to local cruize nights.

Does anyone know the value? I am thinking around 4 to 5 grand.

Just wondering.

Posting pictures would help. Does the car run and drive OK now, or does it need maintenance (i.e. brakes, belts & hoses, fluids changed, etc) from an extended storage?

Pictures are on the way. It does run, however simple maintenance needs to be done. I am planning on doing these myself before I sell her. I am also gonna put new tires on her. Basicly she is set as a daily driver condition. And what is amazing to me, she gets 17 mpg in the city!

It is a shame, this car is in ten times condition my GTO was in when I bought it. If I can convince my wife I might keep it, but she is already crazy about me and my GTO.
