I returned from Nam in 68 and my dad cosigned for this car. I am the only owner and my dad's name is still on the title. It is A 1968 Olds Delmont 88 Convertible, with the 350 v8 2bbl. The tranny is the turbo hydro 400?. In 1988, the mileage rolled over at 100000. There was a slight tic in the motor so I pulled the motor, I and my nephew rebuilt it to factory specs and while it was out, I had the body beadblasted, only minor rust above both rear fenders. I took out all the interior and all the chrome off. New top, interior, paint, original color, lite blue and cleaned up all the chrome. It isn't perfect but it is our vacation car. It now has 35000 miles on it. The only change was cooper 235/70/15 radials and a couple of sterio speakers under the dash and a new sterio. will post a couple of pics when I figure out how. Ken
