restoring my 1986 Oldsmobile delta 88 royale brougham two door

I have a 1986 Oldsmobile delta 88 royale brougham that is in mint condition

Here is the story behind the car my uncle bot the car new but two 2 years later he died. So my auntie just parked in the garage in 1988 and it didn't see the light of day till about a month ago. when she let me take it.

The car in beautiful condition no dents, the interior looks brand new, with only 14,375 original miles only problem is that the engine has not run in 20 years

It has a v6 3.8 fwd

here is what i have done to the car so far new battery,new tires,new belts,new spark plugs and spark plugs wires, we changed the oil, and flushed out the radiator

Very clean!

Welcome to the club. I would check under the dash, seats, any good hiding places under the hood or in the trunk for signs of mice. Mice like to chew on wires and the end result, is not pretty. If you pulled it out of the garage and took those pics, without cleaning the interior, I'd say the chances of that are slim. I didn't see any evidence of those little critters.

You'll need new tires for sure, and check the brake lines. 27 years is a long time to sit

I put in a new battery and put the key in accessory
and tested everything i could. The only thing that didn't work is the power antenna. Otherwise everything else works flawlessly
