Aw, man. That one looks too nice to butcher. I'd paint it white instead of toenail fungus green, and keep that black top.
It would be a slick granny grabber then
Interior looks like it'll clean right up. Buff out the trim, slap some 80's spoke covers on the wheels, and go man go.
Who am I kidding though? Nobody wants this old crap anymore, and those that do want a 71/72 cutlass.

I need the top of the drivers side rear quarter panel, basically from door opening to about 6 inches from the back, above the wheel opening, including the divers side trunk gutter. If you're interested let me know what it would cost and I can get you some measurements. (A trash truck put it's forks through mine).

A couple questions, I can't tell for sure from the photos but does the drivers side front rim look like its for the same dog dish hubcaps like the 1966 Toro? Clips into the very center of the rim rather than having bumps around the center for the hub cap to attach to. I know those were a scarce option in 1968 as I had a Delta 88 with a full set. If there are any of those on there save them for sure! Then it looks like a tilt/tele column. Another member was asking me for one of those last year, I'll try to remember his name and send him a message. John

I am interested in the steering column/steering wheel setup. Also, the 2 rear quarter panel extensions (with the trim included), center trunk trim piece between them, and the Delta Custom trunk emblem. Please PM me back on prices, thanks! Philip

Yes it has the tilt/tele column. I thought that was cool. Dont see it in the 88s that often.

Your state must be set up different than NY state.Here in ny it was either 73 or 75 when titles started.Before that it was just registrations like my 67 just registration.Here in nys several things would get it back on the road.A bill of sale helps along with pictures and rubbings of the vin number plates.The dmv checks to see if any records are on the car and make sure it is a clean not stolen car and usally the system only goes back 10 years.Then once that is done and all paper work is done and valid they will issue a new registration and your done.

Just wanted to let everyone here know, I just received my parts from f-85. He packaged them up very nicely and the parts were as I expected them to be. I just wanted to take the time to thank him publicly for being an honest and trustworthy person. It's people like him that make this site such a pleasure to deal with.
