newbie

hello all

I have a 1969 delta 88 conv with a 455. it was put in the garage in 1978 and put on stands after my dad gave it 2 my older sisters boy friend and i had a fit only being nine at the time i could not believe that my dad had sold the car that was to be mine but it was more than that ! My dad bought the car back for eight hundred bucks and put it in the garage after we put her on the stands he looked at me and said you can have it after i die. He died ten years ago and I'm just now getting 2 the point of getting it going. After 32 years in the garage you can just imagine the shape that it is in.

I'm grateful for this site because of all the knowledge that is at my finger tips so Hello

Welcome to our site, glad you now have the Delta. I once owned a '69 but not a convertible, I like body style.
