Yes, for sure the car in the photos has a '67 Delta 88 front end. The give-away is the location of the turn signal lights. On the Delmont 88 (and 98), the headlights are adjacent to each other on the outer edges of the grille, and the turn signals are in the bumper. On the Delta 88, the turn signals are in the grille between the headlights.
So the VIN says Delmont 88 and the front end says Delta 88. In any event, the car looks pretty sad. Are you planning to do anything with this? If it's going to be parted out, where is it? I could use one of the wheel rims!

I need it for a spare tire. When I bought my '67 Delta back in June, it came without a spare, and I've been looking for a correct rim ever since. If you have one to sell, I'm interested. Where are you located? You can PM me on that if you wish. I seem to recall you once said upstate New York. Thanks.

It would not surprise me if in fact the interior color had been changed, ten years ago a friend bought a 1998 Z28 with a grey cloth interior...it had been changed by the dealer from white leather because it would not sell! So, with the cloth they lowered the price and were credited the difference by GM. I know in '67 the A bodies were availble with a triple yellow color combo with a yellow rag top...one of my favorites. There has also been a saffron yellow '67 98 at Homecoming the last couple of years, with the yellow interior and a white convertible top.

you could understand and decipher the trim plate?
I have the same problem, I know the name of the car's interior color headliner.
SMS factory has these colors are very rare, perhaps?
I know that my Delmont is one of the first assembled.
thanks

Had to dig to find this thread
I dug around till I found this thread as I needed the info it has. I found a 67 Delmont 2dr hardtop at a show then almost the next day we parked next to each other. I told him about our forum and all the info. He wanted the vin decoded to verify the cars info. I have pictures and video of the car and will post that in a different thread. But the decoding info in this thread is valuable.
