This is the final opportunity to own an amazing American Classic. Offers will be considered. It is now priced for an ez sale. Today I am offering up my 1965 Delta 88 Holiday Hardtop Sedan. For almost 2 years now this car has been my pride and joy. It's rarity and class have kept me motivated in this restoration. Classicoldsmobile.com has helped me convert the exhaust from single to a custom dual exhaust with raptor mufflers... among many other things. Below is a list of what I have done to the sedan as well as features for this year. The 5 digit odometer reads 18,xxx, but I have a hard time believing it is 218k miles. It would be accurate to say the motor/transmission have 118k miles based on running condition. Vin # 358395C120178 I have a Clean California Title. No Accidents. http://youtu.be/YDwQOuuuxZ0 The brake cylinders, shoes, drums and hubs are new. The belts, distributor, wires, spark plugs, transmission gasket, transmission service, power steering pump, steering box, oil pump, water pump, timing chain and timing cover, lower radiator hose, fluids, headers, exhaust system, headliner, windshield, and paint...are all new. The 4bb Jetted oem carburetor was rebuilt, tuned, and all surrounding seals and gaskets are new. The gas tank was also dropped with rear lines replaced. This 65' has a 25gallon tank! Runs phenomenal, sounds incredible and has a ton of power. The custom dual exhaust is louder between 40-50mph then becomes very quite after 50. A work of art. With all the windows down it's like a hardtop convertible. More solid than any new car made and gets thumbs up everywhere. I've received more positive attention in this car than my 6 figure sports car. Such a great cruiser. A comfortable ride with with tons of space. All the glass is great! It has a new windshield and all windows roll up and down. For night driving all four tail lamps light up and the operational high beam foot switch works taking you from two lights to four driving lights at night. Has special triangle vent windows up front only found in older vehicles. What I would say it needs next is front and rear bushings with alignment, tires, interior upholstery, and little things like reattach the turn signal bracket...re-chrome the rear bumper ect. This Olds still rides very nice with the current setup and I bring it out at least once or twice a week. The previous owner said his wife used it as a daily driver.
