Runs great. Looks great. Garage kept, 40K original miles. Green, 4 door hard top. 350 rocket engine. Needs nothing except a new owner $6500

 

That is an AWSOME car!

 

Did you really mean 40 miles or was that a typo?

 

I didn't even notice that. Surely it is a typo!

 

Or it could be 100,040.

 

A SWEET looking original!

 

Looking at the car, I'd say 40k. It's nice. It's also too close by for comfort, especially if it were able to make a four hour drive.

I do not need another Oldsmobile, I do not need another Oldsmobile...

 

The question is, do you WANT another Oldsmobile...

 

nice car , but them xtra doors make it hard to sell.

 

YIKES! I forgot the K! its 40k! sorry folks.

 

Don't apologize. We liked it better when we thought it was 4.

 

What are you talking about? I count only four.

 

Wow!!!
Nice car.

 

me too. if it had two less , as nice as this car is, there`d be a line forming. i`d be at the head of the line, cash in hand.

 

ready and able for a drive!

 

i`m sure it is , but at only 60 , i`m not old enough for 4 doors yet. maybe when i grow up........

 

You know, I used to think that way about 4-door cars too, until I bought my Regency. I was 41 when I bought it, and I have never thought of it as an old man's car. It is simply a nice old Oldsmobile that can still turn heads in the rare occasions it gets to go out.

Now I still think of post sedans mainly as nice daily drivers, but this is a Holiday Sedan which was/is pretty high up on the food chain. It just screams late 60s middle class style. You drove one of these new, it showed you were overall pretty successful. Town Sedans were for grandparents, Holiday Sedans were for younger middle class professionals.

The condition is what's appealing here. AACA HPOF here we come!

Rob, I always WANT another Oldsmobile, but I also WANT a 66-68 Thunderbird. I don't think I can swing both, and I have plenty of Oldsmobiles.

 

nice car

 

nice car,but that's a cutlass price

if you really want to sell it,ask around 3k.

unless you think the internet is full of suckers

 

Edited your first post to correct your mileage.

 

3K seems low, The internet is full of all kinds of suckers. I think if he sold it for 3k he would be the sucker. But with the market the way it is who knows.

 

Just be patient and you will eventually sell it for the amount you want. IMHO, 4 door hardtops are much classier than coupes. Cutlass coupes are like opinions, everyone has one.

 

they were price-busters back in the day- not everyone could afford a full-size

 

 

Oh, don't do that!!! Now none of the posts that follow make any sense!

 

The Old Cars Price Guide, which agtw31 admits is his most favorite publication, puts the value of a 1970 Delta 88 4-door hardtop in #3 condition ("car show quality" but not showroom quality) at just over $5,000.

The NADA website lists the "average retail" for this car at just a hair over $6,000. "Average retail" is described as a "20-footer", which is the same way the OCPG describes "car-show quality."

 

true. some of us have several. i have a big car too. 73 delta 88, 2 door, of course. sorry , no love for the many door here.

 

It looks to be a very nice clean honest original car, and I wish you the best of luck selling it.

 

WTF does that have to do with anything?

I keep forgetting Oldsmobile never made anything but a Cutlass/442...



The money is close to right for a nice low mile original car, especially to keep the donk/hooptie crowd away from it. I'm just glad it's not a 455 car or somebody'd be trying to buy it cheap to rape the engine for a Cutlass.

**

Sometimes I still regret not saving that 73 Delta Royale HS from that cat on 73-77olds who stole its 455 for his 73 Cutlass and then scrapped the rest of the car. That 73 was nicer than this 70. He was so intent on having a 1973 engine for that Cutlass that he went blind to what the Delta was.

Even with a 1973 engine his car would still have never been a matching numbers car. For all practical purposes all 73-76 455 are identical, but he wouldn't hear to finding an engine already out of a junker and saving a pristine, original unrestored Delta.

I will never understand people like that.

 

Ouch.

At least you have a big body!

Now gents, let's keep it civil.

 

I love this car.

My grandfather had a 70 pale yellow custom (not a Royale) but it was a great car for a 14 year old to steal while the cats were away.

Our neighbors had a 70 Caprice - cool car, but not an Olds. This car rocks.

But I want a Ninety-Eight. I NEED a Ninety-Eight.

As a buyer, I would say that the condition of this car is close to what my Toronado was when I bought it, at the height of the market, condition-wise anyway 4 years ago.

This car is a good $8500 car at the top of the market, +/- $500 (I would say + for condition but minus for content so $8,500)

But the market being where it is right now, and I watch lots of sales (full size only) so that said I think the car is priced exactly right, maybe even a little bit low, but quite fair.

Just my opinion

 

enjoying and appreciating all the responses and opinions! thanks

 

it's a fab car for a great price - please don't lower the price - this is the best place to adv it - what part of the country are you?

 

Virginia

 

[quote=Olds64;200893]Ouch.

At least you have a big body!

yeah , thats my asphaltus longcruiserus burneruperus. like the song says , she`s got a 455 rocket........

 

it means you can get a nice Cutlass for the asking price of that Delta.

check in the cars for sale section right here,you'll see several examples

these low mileage big cars are at estate sales all over the country.
they are selling for $800-$1500 at those sales.

this car is not priced to sell,the price is a hook looking for a fish.

this car would fetch $2500-$3000 maximum in the real world

after about a year of no phone calls,the seller will realize this

sorry,just stating the facts.

 

completely disagree - with no disrespect to intermediates, I walk right past them to look at B and C body cars, and E as well, and spend my money on them. I would never seriously consider paying more $$$ for less car

like we used to say in the car biz, there's an a** for every seat. may take a little time, but I'd buy it at that price (if it were a Ninety-Eight)

 

So a nice car is not a nice car, no matter what body it is? Then again I tend toward AACA line of thinking instead of thinking only performance hardtops and convertibles are worth anything and are all that should be saved and appreciated. That mindset is capital BOOLSHAT.

Again, I forget, Oldsmobile didn't build anything but Cutlasses.


And then the people who snap them up cheap immediately try to flip them for real world money, or yank the big block and scrap the rest so a Cutlass can have a 455. See that all the time too.

Disagree. The market is more limited for this car, but I don't buy into this crap of a car should sell cheap just because it's not mainstream. Truth be know I am growing tired of 69-72 Cutlass/442. They are becoming the 57 Chevy and 1st gen Camaro of Oldsworld, and I'm not the only one thinking like that. Sorry, just stating facts.

And I applaud Lisa for pricing it high enough to keep flippers and donks away. If she let it go for $3k or less, the next time you saw it it would be riding 22's with a Reese's Pieces paint job, and a survivor car like this deserves better than that.

And again, it is too close by for comfort.

 

Glenn, go ahead and buy this car. You know you want it, You know you need it, where else are you going to find one this cool and besides you have a hole in your signature line that needs to filled in with 70 Delta 88! There is too large of a gap between the 69 and the 74!

64 Starfire, 69 Toro, 70 Delta 88, 74 Hurst/Olds, 76 Regency, 78 Custom Cruiser. All OLDS powered.
And a FORD truck to do the nasty work.

 

I was thinking Frosted Flakes would look better on this car!
