Uncle Hulka

Thanks to all, but the car is no longer for sale.

sammy

I am a big fan of this car!
Let"s hope somebody on here steps up and gives it a good home....

oldcutlass

Very nice, good luck.

stevengerard

wow, some new springs in the back and rally rims and this car would be killer as is.

SWEET, If I had anything in my pocket besides lint, I'd be on this one like white on rice

MDchanic

Lint... White... Rice...

Must... Win... Lottery...

I would like to drive her as she is. She has a thick layer of dust on her right now, like she's been sitting in a barn for the last 20+ years. Dry as a bone, but D-U-S-T-Y!

What a sleeper she would make! Top end is estimated @ 140 mph!!!

stevengerard

yep - especially with no hubcaps on - bad @$$ looking sleeper

Uncle Hulka

No Worries, Steven. All 4 hubcaps are present and accounted for :-)

GAOldsman

Neat piece of history there Someone will scoop it up quick at that price. Good luck on the sale.

Uncle Hulka

Thanks for all the support. I know I'll regret selling her, since I will never find another one. If didn't need the room for the Chevelle resto, this thread wouldn't exist.

I'm thinking I might put my 1968 Sport Fury Convertible (see my signature) up for sale and if that goes first, I can keep the B07. That's another really rare big car that you just don't see. Not many made with the 440 Super Commando engine. It did really good at the last Musclepalooza (XVIII?). Surprised a lot of people.

Hmmmnnnnnnn.......

Uncle Hulka

BTW, I was looking at the pictures I posted and thought I should clarify something. I have the entire build sheet. It was folded when I found it and I didn't want to risk damaging it by unfolding it.

ent72olds

Drooooool....!

tru-blue 442

X2! I have always liked this one Unk.

Uncle Hulka

aw shucks....blush

What a fantastic car! With those options, it must be very rare indeed. Was it also a factory non-vinyl top Delta 88?

Probably the only rarer large Mopar than your '68 Fury is the '70 Sport Fury with a factory 440 six pack.

Uncle Hulka

I have to agree with you, Anthony. But, I read a article from 1970 that road tested the Sport Fury GT with the 440 6-pack. It had a 16.3 et in the 1/4.

At Musclepalooza XVIII last labor day, my Sport Fury (in stock condition, through manifolds and a transmission my friend and I rebuilt the previous weekend) ran a best of 15.50 @ 88.2.....AGAINST A 15.50 DIAL-IN!!! That's the run that got me into Round 3 (where I readlighted, dag nabit!)

It is a fun car to drive and a ball to drag!

Diego

L-code? Auto or stick? What color?

My friend has a '65 426-S.

billmerbach

Don't put the fury up for sale D:

65B01Delta

If I had the room, it would be in my garage.

oldsmobiledave

Curious. Does the car have the stock 2.56 or optional 2.93 gears?

Uncle Hulka

Yes, it's an real L-code Sport Fury Conv. (PH27L8).

Column Shift
Bucket Seats with center 'Buddy' seat
Green (GG1) w/green interior
Black Convertible Top
3.23 Sure-Grip (742 case)

This is what I’ve done to her over the last 2 years:
New Convertible Top (Correct Grain and color)
New Brake shoes, flex lines, etc.
New Correct high-pressure power steering hose (hard to find)
New Edelbrock 1405 Carburetor (I still have the original Carter)
New Mopar Electronic Ignition (I still have the original dual-point distributor)
New Accel Coil
Rebuilt and improved the original Ammeter (a huge problem for any Chrysler car of the 60's)
Correct Factory AM/FM Radio (I still have the original AM radio)
New Correct dash speaker
New Front Wheel Bearings
New Front Shocks
New Rear Air Shocks
New Axle Seals
New Tires
New Mufflers
New Fuel Tank
New Sending Unit
FRESH (250 miles) Complete Rebuild on Torqueflite (w/Red Eagle Clutches, Kolene Steeles PLUS TransGo TF-2 Shift Kit)

Also, this car was built with a really unusual option; A factory engine block heater! It plugs into an outlet and had a heater/pump that circulates the coolant. I had to look it up to see if Plymouth offered such an option, but they did. I've never used it, but I think it's kind of cool. It also has its original dealer-installed Mag Wheel Covers. They look like those on "Hot Wheels" back in the 60's!

Of the 2,489 Sport Fury Convertibles built for 1968, by estimate there were between 50 and 25 built with the High Performance 440. I contacted the Chrysler Museum to get the exact number, but the records were destroyed before they could be archived. Except for finding a picture of one on the internet, I've never seen another one. As rare as she is, I actually think there were fewer B07 Deltas built.

Here's are some pics of her. Wasn't planning on trying to sell it here on CO, but if someone from here wants her, I'll let her go for $7,000 (the Craigslist price will be higher).

Anyone seriously interested can contact me at s-e-p-o-s-c-r-a-p at h-o-t-m-a-i-l dot c-o-m (remove the dashes).

Uncle Hulka

The Delta has the 2.93 gear ratio, Dave.

oldsguybry

Nice Cars ! I truly wish I had the cash for EITHER car ! I would probably go for the Fury .

Uncle Hulka

Thanks for the compliment

Uncle Hulka

I found a couple shots of some of the parts that go with her. Just a tease!

Most of the parts are not inside the car. This is just the overflow.

Uncle Hulka

I was hoping someone here would grab her, but I guess it going to be up to the Craigslisters.

It's a shame. What a great Christmas gift this would make for an Olds lover not into the intermediate scene.

Normally, I would consider a trade, but that doesn't free up any space for me.

sigh....

MDchanic

C'mon, guys! I can't spend my money on this (because I ain't got none right now), but I'd sure like to see someone else spend theirs!

Maybe not that valuable, but rarer than a H/O!

- Eric

69ishHoliday

Eric you are much better at social media than me, I was about to type "tell em to bring gas." It's been an interesting thread and great vehicle to read about but it's got 125k and needs to be restored, is it worth six grand?

65B01Delta

I have the money, no room.... Darn

69ishHoliday

Imagine what the movie "Bullit" would have been like if they had used the Delta instead of the mustang. The Delta might have been better cast into Stephen King's "Christine".

MDchanic

I have no idea. Not to me, obviously, but it's unusual enough, and documented, and it's a 2-door, which you don't see much in that series anymore, so the question is, if the right buyer bought it, cleaned it up, and hung onto it for a few years, it might actually be valuable (though not like the aforementioned H/O, of course).

- Eric

MDchanic

I've had two '68 fullsizes, an 88 and a 98, both HC 455 4-doors, and I've got a soft spot for these cars.

I could see Bullit with this car - it'd kick butt.

- Eric

69ishHoliday

Me too, I read the options list and already feel like I'm bursting through a brick wall. Nothing could take it.

ThePackRat

Sadly some of us lack both room AND money.

Uncle Hulka

I hear you, but don't loose sight of the fact that:

1) This car in NOT a rusty hulk. She is amazingly solid, especially considering she's lived her entire life here in the North East. The worst area is the lower fenders....and that only has a SMALL amount of rust. But don't forget that 2 NOS fenders are among the parts that go with her!

Except for an even smaller area in the rear quarter, the car is rock-solid! Minimal bodywork and a paint job. That's it for the body.

2) Included for that price are all the really hard to find pieces to make her showroom gorgeous. Literally every piece of exterior bright work and emblem, all NOS and in their original boxes. An NOS Fuel Tank! A complete manifold-to-tailpipe exhaust system including mufflers and resonators! Not to mention the PAIR of NOS Disc Rotors!!!! You can't find those ANYWHERE!

3) Aside from the rip in the front seat, the interior is in excellent condition. It definitely needs a thorough cleaning, but what do you expect for a car that's been sitting for over twenty years?

Yes, the car has 125,000 miles, but the last time I drove the car she ran great. also, the log book proves that she was perfectly, exceptionally maintained for every single one of those miles! The man was faithful to the car from Day 1.

This is an original and unrestored High-Performance 1969 Delta Custom, the likes of which few following this thread have or will ever see.

That being said, this is a lot of car for a low price.

tru-blue 442

ARRRGGG! I want it.
I have some family in CT. too.
Hmmm....

sammy

You buy it and I will transport and store it for you
I know what ya mean, I really want this car, but in the middle of 2 resto"s ....wallet getting a wee bit thin:eek

IMO, the car is worth every penny.....

tru-blue 442

You guys are killing me Ted, lol.
Now if I can get Unk to take payments...

Stevec

That's just an awesome car! I'm having a motor built at BTR as we speak and for a minute thought to myself,what if I put it in that land yacht? BUT I just don't have the room for another car. Would be fun though....
