parts for a diesel delta 88 available
parts for a 5.7l diesel olds Minneapolis
I have numerous parts for a Delta 88 available in Minnesota. 5.7 liter diesel. Dad drove multiples of these cars over the years. When one gave out, he kept the parts he could. These parts have been in storage for the past 15 years or so. Dad recently passed. I had told Dad I would help him find a buyer for these parts so he did not have to scrap them, so here I am. Any details given below are from memory and should not be taken as gospel truth.
Looking for one buyer to take it all. Pick up at my location only (about 1 hour south of Minneapolis). Forklift on site to load the engines. $500 for everything seems like a fair asking price, but open to offers.
Parts I have found so far:
2 diesel engines (as I recall, they were running when removed, but will need rebuilt before use)
Extra set of heads
2 injection pumps and some fuel hard lines
transmission (pretty sure it came from his olds. Most likely needs rebuilt.)
rear bumper
radiator fan shroud
Tail light assemblies
hub caps
Dash parts
Misc bolts, parts, and pieces
I am new to this forum. If I do not respond to a PM it is most likely due to operator error on my end.

I moved your thread to the appropriate forum. Consider posting some pictures. Those parts are quite rare but; unfortunately, not very desirable. Maybe one of these days I need to get an Oldsmobile diesel.
No problem. You might actually have more parts than you realize. If the injection pumps, injectors and vacuum pumps are on both of the engines those are handy for someone keeping their Oldsmobile diesel on the road. Also, the injection pumps; if present, might still have the metered vacuum orifice used to get an automatic transmission to shift. $500 for the lot seems like a reasonable starting price. Good luck with the sale! 

Just to clarify things a bit, the last year that Oldsmobile offered a diesel engine was 1984. The same 5.7 liter diesel V8 was available in all of the full-size cars (Delta 88, 98, Custom Cruiser, Toronado), so to call it a "Delta 88" diesel is a bit of a misnomer and could unnecessarily reduce possible interest in the parts. Anyone with a full-size Oldsmobile from 1978 through 1984 could be possible customers for your parts.
Olds also made a smaller diesel, a 4.3 liter V-6 that was offered in the Cutlass lines.
