I moved your post to the proper forum, good luck.

 

Thanks oldcutlass took me a few minutes to figure out what you meant

 

Thanks jaunty75 most of those cars I have checked out (except 1) and they are either in rough shape or have been transformed into something kinda of ugly...
I have been searching & traveling for 7 weeks trying to find a solid 73 Delta 88 and never thought it was going to be this hard...Delta 88's not the most sought after car....

 

Sorry for the typo!

 

Thanks for the advice Cman7713...Losing faith I will ever find the right car & looking for a winter beater now..."I kingdom for a 73 Delta"...

 

Fwd: 73' Olds Delta 88 Convertible - $3500

Have you found a car yet? If not, how about this one? It sounds perfect. No price is given, but from your comments earlier, it seems that price is not much of an issue.

This is in the most recent edition of Journey With Olds, the June edition, which arrived in my mailbox today.

 

Hey Jaunty75...funny you should ask because I drove to NJ 245 Miles & and the car was a total fake!!!! I mean the pictures... Yeah great....in person the undercarriage was a mess, the engine bay was cleaned & spray painted BS...the guy was asking 18k...I didn't even need to test drive the thing. I informed the seller he was "nuts" & dove home another 245 miles.."Pictures" Beware Buyers!!!!

 

Boy, that's surprising to hear. I would have thought an advertiser in JWO would have been a bit more on the up and up than a craigslist ad. Just shows the importance of checking anything out in person. Good thing you did!

 

Still looking for the 1973 Delta 88 convert...any of you Olds people out there please help!!!

If you need someone to take a peak at it!! I believe that Ithaca is about 55 min. away from me, maybe I can grab Greg Rogers along the way up for second set of eyes.

You'd think that, with his $12,000 asking price, he could put up more and better photos and a bit more of a description. Mileage? Engine? Options?

 

How about this one? To quote the entire listing, "it need a back window and a transmission."


Yes, and it also "need" about 10 zillion more photos and about 1000 more words.

Where is this car? I'm not familiar with either Humboldt or Crescent City

 

I zoomed out the goggle map! Northern California.

Pat

 

Thanks. I should have thought of that.

 

Does it have to be a '73? Because I have my '71 88 royale that I am selling

Thanks for the help Caddy but that car looks rough.. & jaunty the Northen Cali car is nice I will keep it under my radar screen. I am flying to Phoenix Arizona on 6/23 from Massachusetts so my commitment is there & my wife says I need to be committed because I am insane....I will let you know the results but I am leary & the pictures look good. But pictures are not full proof as I learned from the Blue Delta in NJ!!!!!

 

Damn, I paid half that for one that was running, registered, and on the road, but with plenty of Northeast rot (pre-patched with sheetmetal ).

here is a nice one.

I could take a look at this one, it's close to me.

http://www.cars-on-line.com/69382.html

 

I saw this, too. $20,000, but, heck, for a 3,000 mile car, that's probably not an unreasonable price.

 

Thanks for all the support so far...The Arizona trip was a bust the car was nice but it was not 15K nice and the guy would not move on the price after he said he would lower his price....Have another car lined up in Texas 17K but if its legit I will buy it!!!!

Please keep sending me links I check every one of them!!!!

Roschy...

 

Have you seen this one? If you have, I apologize for the repeat.

Thanks jaunty75 I did see this car before....

 

So I paid car appraiser(Stated Auto Appraisers) to check out the black Delta in Texas best $300 I ever spent... They sent me a report with pictures breaking down every part of the car...the good, the bad, the ugly....in the end the car had many flaws (undercarriage was full of rot) poor body work etc....They recommended 10K for the car & the asking price was $16,995 but I did not even make an offer....next up Buffalo NY

 

here's one: http://www.coolcarsforsale.net/progr...9731335110_762

 

Looks like a beauty.

 

Thanks Chrisntam I called "coolcarsforsale" because the car looks nice. Got an answering machine 3 times & no call back & no price on the web add? The message on the answering machine sounds sketchy and with 3 days gone by and no return call I doubt this will be the one...gonna keep looking for my 73!!!!!

 

You just can't win for losing, can you?

 

Finally got a call back on the Florida Delta 88 thanks Chrisntam!!!!!
Hired another appraiser to check her out and see how legit it really is & have a good feeling on this one...If all goes well maybe I will be driving it home next week!!!!
For the love of Olds!!!!!
Roschy....

 

The Florida Delta 88 did not pan out...gonna keep looking

Have you looked at the white one on Cars-on-line in San Francisco??
It looks very clean, doesn't get much cleaner than that for the price.
