As the title states, I will be parting out a '68 Delmont 88 ordered with the B07 police package. This is a 2 door and is equipped with the 390 HP 455, T400 tranny, 3.08 Posi, certified police speedo, rear sway bar etc. Additionally, it has a complete UHV Ignition system. The car is complete, does not run. The tranny and front/rear sway bars are spoken for. I have not checked to see if the engine has the forged steel crankshaft yet, but it is possible. Most of the sheet metal is shot. Doors seem good as is most of the trim. I believe this also has the four piston calipers as well, although they would need rebuilt. All interested parties can e-mail bponti442@aol.com or call 501-454-4947.

How much for the rear sway bar and boxed control arms shipped to 35116?

Contact me @ pchopesq@aol.com

Sorry, but if you read the first post, it says the rear sway bar is already spoken for. The boxed arms are available, but the driver's side is junk (rusted through where the sway bar/shims sit against it).

I have had a few requests for pics of the car, so here are a few:

That was a good find....

I did see this car on Flea Bay, and got a bunch of pics from the seller. The price they were looking for was a bit too high IMO, hopefully you do well with it. I really wanted the rear sway, but that obviously went quick.

bponti442

The first time they had it listed, it was way too high IMO, especially factoring in the price to go get it. The second time they listed it, they cut the price in half. At that point, it was a good deal as far as I was concerned. The engine (which just sold today) and UHV was worth more than the car and the cost to go get it. I don't know if we'll hit a grand slam, but some money will be made and maybe some other Delmont out there will get fixed.

The following are the only remaining parts on this car:

4 Piston caliper brakes (calipers, spindels, rotors, prop valve, etc - $300 plus the ride

3.08 Posi rear, code QN, very good condition - $650 SHIPPED anywhere in the lower 48

UHV Ignition System, complete, box and harness have been restored, system should work as advertised - $1100 obo, shipped anywhere in the US

What a unique car. Wonder if it was originally ordered for civilian use or by a police department for investigative/detective work. Someone knew what they were doing when they ordered this Delmont.

bponti442

Yes, it was a very unique car. According to the gentleman I bought it from, the long time second owner, the original owner was a wealthy businessman who owned a lot of service stations in the Kansas City, MO area. He specially ordered the car for his own use and it took him 6 months to receive it. Sounds legit. Anyway, supposedly he traded it in on a new Vette and then this gentleman bought it. It was an awfully neat car and it's a shame it couldn't have been saved.

I'm looking for some interior AC duct parts, specifically the 2nd Design (top) shown in this pic. I need the manifold and the top diverter duct. These are located behind the dash, right in front of the radio. and extending to the center vent.

OMG that is So cool
Thanks for sharing the photos, especially things still in place before dismantling, you can never duplicate that again. The uhv box, etc.

+1. Such a shame it ended up in this condition.

Yea, it was a really neat car and unfortunate it ended up the way it did. The car is now gone and the only thing left is the 4 piston disc brakes.

My wheels are 15 inch. Not sure what size wheels were on this car and if that affects weather the calipers / rotors are compatible. Not sure if Olds had 14" disc brakes in 68.

bponti442

Being that this car was not only a full size, but a B07 option car, the wheels were 15 inch (I still have the original wheel covers/hub caps in nice shape). The steel wheels were made to clear the 4 pistons calipers. As for 14 inch wheels, according to the chassis service manual, they were an option and they too would have been a 4 piston caliper. I cannot find what wheels though. I'll do some research and check the parts and assembly manual because from my recollection, the standard 14x6 SSIs and SSIIs would not clear the caliper.

Is the transmission available? What code is it?

BangScreech4-4-2

See OP. One of the first things to go.

matchek

bponti, for kicks and giggles, when you have time, can you post a pick of the hubcaps? Just curious as to what the police-package car came with.

ent72olds

Just google Oldsmobile CHP images, you will see several examples!
