Saying hello from Massachusetts, USA



I recently acquired a 1964 Dynamic 88 convertible. Anyone here have one? I'm a pretty good wrench, but I always appreciate some feed back. I'll post pictures soon, it's in the barn right now

Thanks so much! I know it's a "green" 394, which means its a 2 bbl with a single exhaust. It's a C code Provencial white and I'm told it was bought new and kept by the family for decades. It supposed to have had the heads done but I see evidence it was worked on by someone who didn't know much and lost interest. I'm taking the engine apart to find leaks, and I might have to pull it to clean up the engine bay. It's got a "slim jim" 3 speed. It came with a mostly full set of factory repair manuals which is really cool. And not just for the 3400 series engines- the books cover all the models from 1964. Great resource! The appears to be complete and a solid driver, maybe not a show car, but who knows?

Davek - If you're using an external URL like the one you posted (e.g. Google Photos) note this: you must post the URL link (path) which INCLUDES the actual image. So the URL link must be the image itself which you can easily determine because the link will end w/ .JPG, .JPEG, .PNG, etc.

Awesome car. Goes to show original classics like that can still be found. Welcome from a former masshole in Maine. Where did you find it?

Blafau, I found the car on autotrader classics. I was actually looking for an early 70's Delta 88 Royale but this car kept popping up. When the seller dropped his asking price, that started the wheels in motion. I picked it up in Wisconsin, 3 days round trip and the seller drove a full day to meet me there. It's originally from Minnesota, a little town north of St Cloud.
