Very clean car, reasonably priced.

Funny, with what I'm assuming is just 16K on the clock what happened to the original Olds air cleaner ? Has a Chevy small block air cleaner on that 350 Olds engine find that a little weird. Other than that car does look like a decent car for the asking price. 2nd look of that air cleaner looks to be just the lid is off of a Chevy I think the rest is the original 2bbl Olds air cleaner

Pretty straight Olds.

It is a very very nice car. Four door land lacht market thins out more and more. Nice car. Nice colors. Manual windows and locks.

I might be tempted to go get this thing in a month or so when I'm out there.

no1oldsfan

Price will be down. You know it won't sell. Maybe 5 grand?

oldsmbl

Very reasonable price.

Not beating on this car at all. Very nice car. Unusual nice colors. Love plenty of things about it. But. How underpowered would that car feel?

cherokeepeople

i have to wonder with only 16k miles why the front seat is separating at the seems?

Koda

I want an old heap for my friends and I to go on the Power Tour in. I think I would have to quadrajet that poor 350.

Probably not bad. I have a 350/2-bbl in my '73 Delta 88, and it scoots right along. The 455 is bigger with more horses, but that doesn't mean that these with a 350 are underpowered.

Perhaps because the deterioration is as much a function of time as it is mileage. Probably the same reason that the steering wheel has a wrap around it. Underneath that wrap, it's probably cracked and separated here and there.

This car is now 51 years old. Looking at the floor area around the pedals, the car looks brand new.


The car is definitely in nice shape, but it rivals my '73 in low-option-ness. I can see only air-conditioning (which mine does not have), speed sentinel/trip odometer (ditto), clock (ditto again), AM radio, and remote-control driver's side mirror. But there is no cruise control, no power windows, locks, or front seat. No rear defogger. No tilt wheel. It's also "only" a Delta 88, not a Delta 88 Royale. It is the four-door hardtop body style, and I just love that look.

Of the various styles of Delta 88 and Delta 88 Royale for 1972, this car, the D-88 "Hardtop Sedan," was the second-cheapest model available. Only the Town Sedan (four-door with B-pillar) was less expensive (by $56).

Someone wanted to get into a full-size Olds inexpensively while conveniently, and comfortably, carrying the entire family, and this car fit the bill.

I do really like this car. Love the normal colors. I have always been a Buick guy too. Buick's came in ugly colors all the time. My brother's 70 GS came in this same blue. This Is a super cool car Koda. I get your motivation. Being the last of seven? I know a crowd just showing up. This car can handle plenty.

So why doesn't the light blue 70 Cutlass for sale here sell by the way?

gs72

The longer the car, the shorter the ride.

Koda

I'm gonna lay the LTP upon him.

Koda

Ok, I laid the LTP upon him. Let's see if he responds.

no1oldsfan

Well good luck 🤞👍

Radiator looks like it needs some attention.

oldcutlass

Personally, if it has new tires on it, it's well worth the asking price. This will be a snooze you lose situation.

vincetan

put a hitch and a trans cooler on it and go camping.

Oldsguy

Probably the original owner/driver was a 400 pounder. Weight can really wear down upholstery.

Looks like it sold. Hopefully one of you guys got it.

Koda

It did sell, it was not to me. It would have been challenging for me to get it, and I did not want it that much, as my intent for it was specific and limited.
