Hi All
I normally don't do this, but something in the facebook ad caught my eye. Those are the same wheels/hubcaps used on polices cars of this vintage. The speedometer doesn't say police calibration, but if someone nearby wants to check it out it might be interesting to see what else it has on it. There is some body damage in the right rear of the car.

I noticed that too. I had a plain Jane delta custom that had those wheels, no center caps but it’s my understanding toronado caps fit

 

I had a set years ago I removed from a 1968 Delta Custom and a member here paid a very generous amount for them. The listing still shows up over on Facebook, but I see a message saying the listing has been removed? Oh wait, privacy settings is probably the issue.

 

Ya I'm having a hard time restraining myself from going to look at it.
Perfect for the virgin 455 I have on a stand.
The dented body parts will be very hard to find.
A "30" with a TH400 is uncommon. Who has the skinny on the 350 with a TH400 combo. I wonder if thats a 455?

 

The Delta Custom was only available with a 455 for the 1968 model year. Only the Delmont was available with a 350. Those 350 Delmonts came with a TH375, which looks like a TH400 until you open it up. Torque converter looks like a replacement in the underside photo. The missing dust cover also suggests the car has been apart at some point. Despite all the photos in the ad, no actual pictures of the engine. The air cleaner is a 2bbl. And cop cars didn't come with power windows or seats, so it is highly unlikely that this is a B01 or B07 car. The lack of a rear sway bar confirms that it isn't a B07 car.

 

Pretty cool Oldsmobile.

 

The FB link is gone already, where was/is it? I'm in Central NY.
Roger in NY

 

The owner listed the car for sale on here back in mid-December for $3500

Thanks for the info Loaded.

 

Thanks for the clarification Old(s) Fart. Not as strong with the big car data.
Im taking the keys to my car away from myself to avoid purchasing this sleeper.

 

She is still for sale and waiting for a new home…

It’s in primer and will be going after a parts car in the spring for the trunk lid and rear bumper

 

looks like a dent on the r quarter was missed...?

 

lol well as you can see by the price it needs some love… if you want to come and work on that dent I have no problems with that…
