It would be very useful to your cause to post an asking price and lots of photos, or a link to where lots of photos can be seen.

That's actually a Delta 88 Custom, which is a slightly higher end version of the Delta 88 first introduced in 1967. You don't mention this anywhere, and you should as it will only help sell the car.


I am a bit curious about this phrase in your description:

"Parking brake slips on tranny but foot brake and regular brakes work fine."

What is a "foot brake?" Do you really mean sticking your foot out the door and on the ground to hold it?

And what do you mean "slips on tranny?" None of the brake systems have anything to do with the transmission. Do you mean that when you put the car in Park, it has a tendency to slip out of park?

Are my eyes playing tricks on me or do I see a D head on that engine???



Regardless, it's a beautiful car.
