1968 88 4 door $3500 obo

She is rust free but needs some love 30 with 400 trans.everything works as it should but pass rear window. ( I believe just a motor) clockworks when it wants too. This was going to be my kids car but they can’t get a license for awhile now…It is a disk brake car (in the front) ac worked in August when we were playing with it probably needs a charge. Needs trunk lid and rear bumper… not a perfect car but someone loved it

That car is nicer than probably most people realize. It's not just a Delta 88, it's a Delta 88 Custom, the highest-end 88 offered. There was also, in descending order, Delta 88, Delmont 88 425, and Delmont 88 350.

It's also a four-door (Holiday Sedan), which was the more expensive of the two body styles the D-88 Custom was offered in, the other being the two-door (Holiday Coupe). So this car was the most expensive 88 offered in 1968.

Very cool!

Look again. Large front reservior and a hold off valve. Disc brakes for sure.

Yes, I see. Not correct, though -- in '68 it would have been the "bathtub" style dual-bale.

Neat car, GLWS. That is the correct Master Cylinder style for a 1968 B/C body. NOT the dual bail. It also has the unique dual diaphragm booster and hold-off valve …so this one is correct.

Okay. I've never seen that style of MC on a GM B-body before, but although I've had several full-size Oldses from the era I've never had (nor have I even seen up close) one with factory discs, so I can't say it never happened. I have, however seen lots of Chevies with the dual-bale MC, but this may just be another area in which Olds differed.

Carry on. To OP: good solid car at a reasonable price. Best of luck. BTW, is it a 350 or a 455?

Yes it a disk brake car… is it original master cylinder??? Its not a $20,000 car it would be a great driver… oh someone put a 350 in it well at least it didn’t wind up in a junk yard… it is rust free so that has to mean something….
