How my Delta 88 came to Germany

Hey Guys,

I am 19 years old and I am from Germany.I always loved old American cars and I just spent a year in the USA doing some social work and there was a chance for me to buy an old 1965 Delta 88 in rough shape. For me though it was a dream come true. It has the high compression 425 with a four barrel carb and I drove this car the entire year I was down there, except in the winter, and I loved it. I actually loved it so much that I decided to take it home with me, so I put it in a conainer and had it shipped over to Germany. The only problem is that it is not in great shape considering rust, as it is a NYS car.
I am really desperatly looking for a rear bumper in ok shape so I donīt have to rechrome it. I just wanna make it a driver so I have a piece of America back here with me.
I really appreciate your help!!!

Cool story, hopefully someone has a bumper. You might post a list of all your parts needs in the parts wanted section.

I have a friend in Germany, Mulheim/Ruhr and he is working on a 65 Delta 4dr so you know now there is at least one other one there in Germany.

Thanks Guys, I will try to post it there. @Oldsmaniac: I thought I would be the only one owning a 65 Delta 88 in Germany. It is nice to know that there is at least another one. Mine is also a foor door. Could you maybe give me his contact information so I could ask him some questions? That would be awesome...
