1973 Delta 88 two-door hardtop

I wonder what "limited rust" means. Limited to less than half the car?

I don't care for the fender skirts. They don't look right on this car.

A few more photos wouldn't hurt.

A 455 engine wouldn't hurt also. I don't think it will sell. Jmo, Ken

"Limited rust" here in upstate NY is a lot different from in SoCal, lol!

Agreed the fender skirts look like crap. Nice car otherwise, but I'm also dubious it'll bring $6k.

He's way high.

56,000 miles or 156,000 miles, nobody wants that car.

Very true, but, while I have no data to back this up, I would guess that more than half of '73 Delta 88s came with 350s.

Note the car's VIN: 3L57H3E219547

The second character is an L, which indicates the base Delta 88. If it were a Delta 88 Royale, it would have an N there. My guess is that someone saving some money by going for the base Delta 88 probably would not then turn around and spend extra money on a larger engine. But again, that's just my guess.
