I am looking for a 1965 Oldsmobile 88 (Delta or Dynamic) 2-Door hardtop. 425 or 455 Rocket V8, auto, blue exterior, blue interior. Cash or trade - will pay top dollar. Send me pics. Thanks!

Would a convertible work? Here's a beauty, and it's even the color scheme you want.

Thanks, but I've seen that one already. I'm really looking for a 2-Door hardtop. Thanks for letting me know, though, I appreciate it!

She certainly is a beauty! But a bit pricey for a car that has over 100K on it, if you ask me.

I might also consider '65 4-door 88's. I'm not into the red color scheme for that car at all... I'm either looking for the blues or greens.

Maybe, maybe not. If it's a good restoration, and it's a convertible, these, I think will be the primary determiner of price.

The Old Cars Price Guide lists the value of one of these in showroom condition at about $15,000. In "car show" or "20-footer" condition, the value listed is about $10,000. He's between these two figures and closer to the lower one. In my opinion, his asking price is not unreasonable. There are people out there who would easily stick a $20K price tag on a car like this and probably end up getting close to it.
